(I like the part where he is mad at the train.)

Ever since my brother and hero was just as suddenly taken from my life in a car accident, this is what cars represent to me. A lot of commercials mention airbags in a long list of standard options. We’ve seen them deployed on inanimate crash test dummies. We’ve close calls. But be honest — for saftey minded consumers, this is far more effictive.

I still remember Volkswagon being the only regular sponsor to stick with Ellen when she came out. That pissed a lot of people off as well. Like then, there is more to this commercial than targetting the most consumers with the least common denominator.

cuz he likes getting his sausage smoked.

Thanks Carls Jr…. good times. egad.

and, if you’ve ever been through a similar violent crash it triggers some pretty bad shit…

ptsd anyone?

I, too, watch only Lost and sports, along with “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report.”

This Yoplait ad, if not the worst, is possibly the strangest:

Woman #1 (white) and Woman #2 (black) lounge in robes, in a swanky spa.

Woman #1: Whoa, chocolate Yoplait! This is like zen-wrapped-in-karma dipped-in-chocolate good.

Woman #2: Mmm. Getting a foot massage, while shoe shopping…

Woman #1 …for chocolate-covered heels good.

Woman #2: (Laughs) Of course!

Announcer: Yoplait’s oh-so-indulgent chocolate mousse Whips! It is so good.

A tall man in white walks by.

Woman #1: This is like dating a masseuse good.

Woman #2: Shhh!

Announcer: Indulge in three new Yoplait Whips! Dolce de Leche, Chocolate Mint, and Creamy Latte.

I just got’s to know if Woman #1′s last comment is part of the Homosexual Agenda, or did the ad writer not know that a masseuse is a woman?

Also, though I’m not one to worry about sacrilege, upon hearing the zen and karma schtick, I have to wonder if it would it be any more gauche if the character said, “this tastes like the Crucifiction wrapped in the Resurrection”?

As to car ads, if I suddenly leave my wife, it’s because I’ve met up with the brunette in the Ford ad, the young woman who treats the next guy at the drive-up dry cleaner to some, you know, free laundering (he’s not bad looking either, if you’re into Yoplait). Her little Ford looks like an absolute piece of shit, but those eyes!

It’s a follow-up ad to an earlier GEICO commercial. The ad guy uses the
line, “It’s so simple [to switch] a caveman could do it.”

Cut to Adman apologizing “I didn’t know you guys were still around.”

Pan out to cavemen, insulted, sitting at a restaurant table in Southern California. And They’re pissed. One orders an expensive-assed meal, the other says he’s not HUNGRY while glaring at Adman.

So the message here is that his buddy sold out (the one who ate).

You all hate ads, but you’re acting like someone is forcing you to watch them?

I hate ads with a passion, so I don’t watch television. It’s actually very simple, and has nothing to do with playing the victim. You’re just playing into advertiser’s hands and doing yourself and everyone else a disservice.

You want to hit them where it hurts? Put your television out on the curb.

“But… flat plasma tv’s!”

Yeah, more marketing so they can justify making you pay for more hi-def equipment. THAT particular marketing ploy was so successful (because of the people that complain they HATE HATE HATE it) that radio has decided to join in their footsteps by offering ‘hi-def channels – hear the channels in between the stations, oooo!’ IF you buy a hi-def reciever.

They’re not doing it TO you, you’re LETTING them do it to you.

“Say Hello to Bob. Why is Bob smiling? It’s because he takes Enzyte, the once-daily tablet for Natural Male Enhancement”

That one and the “Girls Gone Wild” / “Guys Gone Wild” ads also annoy the hell out of me.
