Commercials That Cause Tilt - Page 77 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

The Mercedes Benz spot where the parents are acting like kids and vice versa. Fingernails on the chalk board. Only good thing about Christmas-based commercials is that you know they have a pretty solid end date.

Any commercial where people are singing along with the radio in the car.

Since their is no AWESOME COMMERCIALS thread:

Arby's has been doing work. I can't think of seeing a bad one in the past year. The reverse Fresh Prince roll is especially good.

I bet it'll ruin your Xmas to know the Mayhem guy has made $1 million+ a year doing those spots (Flo is up to like $3 million+)

I have not seen it enough to be tilting, but mom was describing one of her friends (they are both mid-70's) having seen the USPS hippo commercial enough times that she is now ready to go out in search of hippopotamus steaks.

After reading this amazing story about the mayhem guy, some people might lighten up some on him and the commercials:

Two commercials I hate:

DealDash the fair and honest bidding site commercial

and

Tina Fey in that cash back credit card commercial where she buys a goat cheese salad off of a guy

There's two that play on the NFL Network all the time:

First one has nice piano music as we look at someone's phone pics...first she's happy, then she steadily gets more and more unhappy in the pics until we see that her bf has been beating her.

Second one is a series of shots of people staring at the camera, sayings phrases like I love you! And other **** abusers apparently say...until one frizzy haired multi-racial chick shouts at us: "That's not love!"

I hope everyone associated with these two spots gets beaten on a regular basis.

This commercial has been on the air for seemingly years now. I'm not sure whoever made it realized that the woman is the one who comes across as the complete idiot in this ad.

"That milk in your coffee was messing with you"

Who thought a commercial about farting would help you sell your product.

That VR commercial that uses Where is My Mind. **** you for appropriating the Pixies at all for commercial bull****. Much less when that song was specifically played over the exact opposite (all the credit rating agencies blowing up) at the end of Fight Club.

Even Iggy Pop, Lust for Life (a song about heroin) in a cruise ship ad was so over the top there was some ironic thrill in it to me. This is just straight up bull****.

I actually kind of like it when she says "SILENCE!" in the dude who always plays a presidential assassin's voice.

Not only does the Apple ad suck nuts, they paid Brad Garrett a ****load of money for it. And I would imagine a lot of people don't even realize that's him.

They're good kids dammit! Because of VR they stay out of trouble and are respectful to their parents. They totally would be smoking crack out of sheer boredom if VR didn't exist.

Also in general any commercial that has kids acting like adults is 100% likely to be terrible.
