Commercials }{ The good, the bad and the scary
« on: June 25, 2007, 10:28:29 PM »
My favorite commercials are the XM radio ones, very creative, I hate those queer ones for natural male enhancemant so fake and weird. Commercials for Geico lost all plot and comedy a long time ago. But really all commercials are a waste of time to me so I hardly watch them. What about you?

I like the Cingular ones, where two people are having a convo, and when one of them asks the other person a question, the calls dropped, lol.

A lot of them can get extremely annoying.  Even the ones that are good the first time get on your nerves after multiple viewings.  I almost just tune out commercials nowadays, lol (as in, I have 2 minutes to go get a snack or something).

A lot of ones I remember from the 90's hold some sentimental value to me now, as I have them on these old VHS tapes.  If you count movie trailers, I'm probably interested in some of those.

As for actual products, that's tough to say.  I really can't think of many offhand, lol.

One time I saw a two minute natural male enhancement ad... I swear they said "down there" about 10 times.  :P

Though most advertisements are far from anything special, I would agree. I guess that's why when you find an advertisement that is actually funny and/or interesting, people tend to rave about it.

Lol, I guess there wasn't a lot else they could away with.  Some of those Viagra related commercials can get amusing, especially they pretend have to use innuendo about anything related to their product.

I love that commercial, it's hilarious. xD And the Cingular ones are also pretty funny. I like the K9 Advantix (or whatever it's called) ones because the little singing dog is just so cute.   ;D

I like the Skittles commercial with the bunny. I think it's so cute. I'm sure probably 80 % of people find that commercial annoying though.

Maybe I just tune out commercials now, lol.  A lot of people are desensitized by violence.  I'm probably that way with advertising.
