1. the "Thank You" commercials are the worst

Some bank is running a series of commercials about the power of "thank you". They are shockingly bad commercials & I'm horrified each time I happen to see one.

In one a girl is asking her guy why they have been together for years and never married. He stammers out a "thank you?" and suddenly she is all happy cause he never said that to her in all those years. Ugh - this is so idiotic I can't even stand it.

The other one is where two women are in a grocery store. One lady asks the other is when she's due, or something. Lady B gets mad 'cause she's not pregnant, and the first woman stammers around and says "thank you?" Lady B gets so excited "thank you? - for meeeeee?" Ohhhh and big hug.

WTF?

2. Agree totally

I tried to get a thread going on the worst advertising campaign strategy ever centered on this one, but couldn't raise much interest. Hard concept to encapsulate in a subject line, I'm afraid.

4. Arby's & McDonalds

The Arby's talking oven mitt commercial make me crazy as well. I just picture a bunch of advertising types sitting around a conference table coming up with that stupid idea.

And the new McDonalds one are confusing to me, where some person is sitting alone in a room protecting their stupid chicken strips from nobody. "Step away from my chicken!" No one wants your damn chicken.

I could go on. I guess I'm watching too much TV.

3. ARRRGGGGHHHH!!! I just saw it, where the country club woman

says the stupid "torque pulsation" or whatever on the Trane air conditioner is "making me frisky".

When I see this I want to physically assault whomever wrote this, and I am not a violent person.

5. Mr. Wendy can kiss my white ass

Dave Thomas must be spinning in his grave...if I ever run into the "Unofficial spokesman" I swear to god his face is going to meet the business end of a shovel.



:mad:

6. That Best Buy commercial with the girly-boy.

Some testosterone-deficient, high-voiced girly-man at some football party yells out "Yeah!! Yeah!! That guy's on my fantasy football team!!"

*shudder* That one gives me the creeps.
