ain't it true

 

I like that. Irritate, irritate, irritate, irritate, then knock 'em dead.

One of our client at place I worked at had Ultra Gain laundry detergeant as a client. We spent months editing q commercial that was just a bunch of kids holding hands and dancing around a laundry pole on top of a hill in Ireland. Ate up most of my waking hours to make it. When it was finally done and on the air I was so embarassed i didn't even tell the my friends I worked on it. We referenced that scene a lot.

 

Then there was the time I watched 8 hours of footage from a locked of camera filming a vat of chocolate that would be used in Hershey's kisses looking for the "best parts." ... Found them too. Stare long enough you can see all the nuances of a paddle mixing chocolate(sigh).

 

Heehee, just a minor cry for sympathy for the poor dopes that have to make that crap.

lol good thread...

 

Cant stand the 1-800-VICTIM-2 commercial...Oh and ANY infomercial where they make it look like the everyday version of whatever is like the hardest thing to use in the world lol.

Are you tired of trying to put on your hat?

 

*insert greyscale video of a woman who looks like she's trying to use an ice cream scoop to skin a live badger on top of her head*

 

You need AutoHat! The world's first automatic hatter!

Also lol

Don't even get me started with HeadOn. I don't care about the commercial as much as the BS "homeopathic" placebos they push.

 

I see placebos for sale in supermarkets all the time, which is bothersome because it means people actually buy them.

Actually I hate any commercial from the Law Firms looking for clients for to sue others, I really think promoting suing as a way to get ahead is just wrong.

 

Note, if its legitimate sure, but we need to get out of the mindset that at the drop of a hat and many times their own stupidity should net them a gain.

Having worked in advertising, I can tell you there are many I hate that you can't remember, but I helped make them.

 

However, that damned Aflac commercial with the pidgeon and the rapping worms is ****.

 

OTOH, I love this (included because some TV commercials are bloody hysterical)

 

 

 

I f'n hate clowns. They creep me out.

 

Bullpup,

Are you an editor?

I actuall like that paper cut commercial..

I hate the education connection commercials. pisses me off scamming kids into thinking beimg lazy is ok, plus the ones with the girls lip symching blow. Thepajama girls are cute... but it does not redeem the spots enough

Bullpup,

Are you an editor?

 

One of my many hats. It has been a while since I had to burn the candle at both ends as the primary editor on anything, but I am still in the business.

 

here is a look at the time period in which I decided I would rather make TV shows than the commercials.

Sunshine Clean.... still makes me twitch I didn't work on that commercial but it was part of the campaign

You wouldn't know it now, but those moving letters and words were "the greatest thing since sliced bread," back in the day.

McDonalds adverts piss me off for some reason.

If you ever listen to 105.5 WDHA, their commercials make me hate them. In general, that station is terrible since their usual playlist is: Nickelback, Nickelback, NJHelpWanted commercial, random local ad, Kars 4 Kids, Soundgarden, Hailstorm(some garbage local band they picked up), Pearl Jam, Nickelback, Soundgarden, then maybe a GNR or other 80's rock and repeat.

 

I abseloutely hate listening to them, but my dad is in love with them. I used to like them, but theyve switched to this format of the same monotonous ads and all Nickelback-ish music.

Kars 4 Kids.

 

1-8-77-stab my ear. Stab stab stab stab, stab my ear.

 

+1000. I now use that as the "time to switch back to the iPod input" alert.

My good man, I submit that Soundgarden and Pearl Jam (but mostly Soundgarden) are great bands and that mentioning them among the likes of Nickelback is a grave insult to their music.

Soundgarden and Pearl Jam are okay in acceptable doses. What I meant to say was Black Stone Cherry. WDHA is all nickelback style mustic, with a little bit of 80's and occassional classic rock, and godforsaken nj help wanted ads. The station is practically the same every day all year.

I f'n hate clowns. They creep me out.

I read 'It' as a young teenager, so I completely agree. "We all float down here."

 

Top of the list of worst commercials is any from Binder & Binder. Here's my all time favorite, though

 

Man, you guys are a tough crowd. I love them Geico commercials. That cute little gecko doing the two-step? How can you hate that.

 

I like the Gecko ones, my wife HATES all the caveman ones!

I only hate it because the tune is so damn catchy.

HATE IT!!!!!

 

 

I love them Kia hamsters. Hate this one. The whole logic that he somehow can't shave on the road or that he has to shave downstairs before his wife will allow him upstairs just defies logic.

Did you see the wife? who cares?

 

heartless bastard

I am so sick of this one

 

The one where thr guy uses a screen door for a boat bottom.

I utterly despise the FC Kerbeck car commercials on the radio, because the dumb bastard was rambling about the US Marine Corps toys for tots or something, and pronounced Corps as "corpse". GRRR! Guess who else pronounces it that way? President Obama.
