The "pay with your face" ad by apple tilt me a lot, and I'm not sure why. Something to do with the actress who is sort of black, sort of white, intentionally wearing crap that makes her look bad. I just for some reason find it unsettling. Especially the last segment where she's wearing a necklace that looks like it was strung together using K-mart Christmas tree bulbs.
F U, you know GD well what the woman was asking about :P
Who is this Nick Bolton prick I keep seeing with his "Taclight," "No Oridinary Sunglasses" and other products that can be run over by a tank, frozen in a block of ice and keep on going.
" Hi, Nick Bolton here...." - Yeah, and.....who gives a ****.

It seems like in many infomercials the spokesperson begins by giving their obviously fake name (e.g. "Taylor Baldwin").
I assume it's to make them seem more familiar and trustworthy.
The new TurboTax campaign is just awful. And this one is freakin' creepy as ****.
What is that thing? Why the hockey mask? Why a female southern accent??
Just bizarre.
Also can't stand the new DirecTV campaign where people love things like gum on their pants and pouring hot coffee on themselves.

Ahaha, dying reading this rant about our favorite commercial
Quote:
Don’t even get me ****ing started on this. I hate that ****ing ad so god damn much it’s insane. The stupid ****ing ***** waltzing around brooklyn or whatever the **** with her stupid ass ****ing ipad acting like she owns the ****ing world. Nobody gives a **** about his broken arm. And what the **** is that **** in the taco shop where she slaps the ****ing iPad down like a ****ing viking. **** you. Then she sits on a ****ing tree making some dumb ****ing bug poster for no ****ing reason I wish she fell out of that ****ing tree. and finally she gets home and her nice ****ing neighbor asks her a simple ass question AND SHE HAS THE AUDACITY TO SAY WHATS A COMPUTER WHAT THE **** **** YOU ****
i instantly mute commercials. have been for years now. i dont really get why people would just not hit the mute button? i pretty much only watch live sports.
the only time i watch any commercials are in this thread to see how bad they actually are. XD

I don't have a cable/satellite subscription or even an antenna, but I work in television as a technical director. At times, it is literally my job to watch spots for spec checking and I usually ingest 50-100 new spots each day. While this is a small portion of my job, it doesn't take long to memorize an ad (especially if you witness it running umpteen times per day).
This thread is awesome for me, as I always have someone to commiserate with over awful ads.
Two to add. Not going to look up videos of either of them.
1. The commercial about people with Parkinson's who get visual and audible hallucinations. There is one version of the commercial where the guy with Parkinson's says of his "visitors" - "The plots they unfold...the stories they tell...but only in my mind" or something like that, making it sound like getting Parkinson's is like having Vince Gilligan directing stories in your head. I've had relatives and friends with Parkinson's who also go to support groups, and that quote from the commercial is pure bull****.
2. The commercial for Super-Beets (Beet powder supplement - just add water!). There is one commercial where there is a dude/wannabe actor that I'm 99% sure lied about ever taking Super Beets just so he could be in the commercial. In one scene he is sitting in front of a computer (What's a computer???) with a clear glass mug of Super-Beets juice and totally fakes taking a drink. I mean, it's so obvious that he barely tips the mug back and drinks exactly zero of the juice.
