re: Since it’s the Holidays, we’re over due for a commercial bashing thread

crazy to think there's a company with ads so bad it can have 2 nominations in this category. Someone alreayd mentioend the limu emu. I'll submit the other liberty mutual spots of the everyday people standing on that boardwalk pier. The latest is the crappy actor that can't get his lines right. BEfore that was even worse, where a guy was blurred our and jumps off the pier when recognized. Followed of course by the least creative jingle you could imagine: liberty, liberty, liiiberty. liberty.

Or the local LaBorde Earles commercials with Alvin Kamara.

Those are so cringe.

Who thought this would be a good idea? I'm supposed to choose your law firm because your spokesperson is a football player that knows nothing about law? And can't even change out of his sweatpants and sandals and take out his nose ring for your commercial?

Don't get me wrong I love Alvin Kamara - the football player, not the attorney.

From the YouTube comment section on the GMC ad: Long but worth the read.

You can't see it on their faces, but this couple is drowning in debt. That adjustable rate mortgage is creeping further into their savings. Yeah, he makes good money, but he has just been passed over for a promotion for the second time, and the company isn't doing so well. They always buy high-end products, and eat out far too often. Credit cards are bailing them out, but paid off monthly statements are becoming minimum payments as those platinum cards are maxing out. He thought two brand new vehicles would fix their fractured relationship, but her possessive ways have come to the forefront once again. This couple is doomed to fail with foreclosure and bankruptcy within the next couple years is highly likely. She will leave him when he tries to explain their financial situation, and he'll end up staying with his old college buddy and his wife. This situation becomes strained as he leaches off his trusted friend. She finds a new man, but it doesn't last long, as he's unable to keep up with her expensive tastes. In the end they both become lonely, bitter people who die friendless and penniless. Happy Holidays.

That’s gold.

I was an independent auto adjuster for a while. It's amazing how many people did not know they had a choice. The insurance comps told them which body shop to take the vehicle to for the repair and they did not know they had a choice. Granted, this was mostly the younger drivers. The older people generally knew a shop and would take it there. I was convinced the insurance recommended shops got a kickback of some kind and generally did shoddy work.

#1 is easily the Peloton ad....so many things here
1. Why is she nervous for her first ride on a fricking exercise bike?
2. Dude gets you that expensive piece of equipment so the following year you get him a video of you being an obnoxious bitch about using it? Cool.
3. “This changed me” no...no it did not. You look exactly the same.

She’s hit enough to get a pass I guess though

I like how this commercial is the latest Twittermob outrage because the husband is forcing his wife to ride a peloton so she can get even thinner because men are sexist pigs.

Not Xmas, but new contender... that Jersey Mikes commercial with the friends texting each other while in the same room is awful

And screw that shitty apple commercial with the grandkids making the tablet video with 'Nana'

I love Chik-fil-a. The food and service are great for fast food, but I hate their commercials.

Who wants some fast food worker holding their newborn?

To the voiceover guy with an accent, are the baked chicken nuggets really the best baked chicken you have ever had?

Did the deaf guy and the guy who knows how to sign become best friends?

Why is some woman crying with a chik-fil-a manager?

The guy who taught the kid to tie a tie might be a kid diddler.

Should those cheerleaders dressed as cows really be eating chik-fil-a before a competition?

How does that guy know he gave the change back to the right person?

I have so many questions.
