Yeah. Gotta second the Axe commercials. They make all men look like teenagers. Fuck 'em.

Also: I started buying Nivea body wash after seeing this commercial make fun of Axe's juvenile bullshit. "A body wash for grown ups." haha--I love that.

I wouldn't say they were a product but the bloody election adverts that are on in Australia at the moment are making me not want to vote for any of them. I'm tempted to vote for that Palmer guy because he's the least annoying of all of them!

Only a few more days of this shit!

Not a product, but I saw a movie poster when I left a theater after seeing Pacific Rim (the hypest sit) with my bros and the poster literally made me and my friends annoyed. I can't remember the title but it looked like the most generic, outdated, pile of shit movie, ever created. It showed a family with a dad, mom, 12 year old daughter, and teenage son and they all had quirky little labels for all of them (cause they apparently weren't a normal family! Hur hur hurr). All I remember is that the son was labeled "virgin" and the 12 year old girl was labeled "drug dealer" and I immediately wanted the producers responsible to die in a fire
"We're the Millers".

And it actually is allowed to get away with that poster, because the story is about four unrelated twats pretending to be a family in order to smuggle a big drug shipment to Mexico. So... the poster is entirely accurate.

Obviously, you couldn't have known. Also, the movie is terrible, from what I've been told, so you may be justified.

No, it's hilarious! Don't listen to them! They lie.

OT: Uh ... many of the made-for-TV commercials. Recently, the Zoomies ones. Ooh, you do 300% zooming? That's terrible.

We also get 77% of the general audience on our side.

There's a reason that it's making all of the money. Audiences, in general, are quite enjoying it. And it's getting fantastic word-of-mouth.

Ads that interfere with my actions on the internet. When they make ads that interfere with what I am trying to do, like the ads that block the reply box on these forums and ones that move the page around ( I'm looking at you Diablo 3) make me not want to buy their products out of spite. Spite is a very good reason NOT to buy something. These people should realize we see their ads already, and all they do by making them move around and block our content is make us hate them. Ads that turn up the volume also make me not want their products.

Well, hey, what do I know, other than it doesn't look like the brand of comedy I like.

At any rate, the poster is accurate, yes.

The recent iphone commercials are just way too long for them to appeal to me at all. There is also a particularly nasty Little Caesar's Pizza commercial involving a broken arm. It doesn't help that there pizza is even worse than Chuckie Cheeses

On the other hand, we are one in our utter hatred for "The Hangover".

Ads that turn up the volume. I'm sitting there listening to a TV show at just the right volume and an ad comes on and it's LOUD AS ALL FUCK. I can't stand them. There needs to be a fucking law against that shit.

In Britain at least, there actually IS a law against that, because it was getting very widespread here before that.

However there are still tricks they use to make ads SEEM louder than the surrounding show.

I have to say those Diablo 3 adds where the guy thinks his wife is cheating on him have really been wearing on my patience, and haven't exactly been making me want to play the game.

I was looking for that. Never saw it before.

*watches*

What in the name of jesus christ on a pogo stick was that?

OT:
I don't know what it is called but some shampoo always shows a naked woman covered in water and slowly pans up to her tits but instead goes to her hair and makes it fly around while someone says buzz words like "masterfully silky" or "gloriously smooth".
I wouldn't buy it anyway because it is for women but the ads just make me hate it, especially when you realise that it had to be filmed in front of a large group of people.

Shampoo ads: Degrading women since forever.

also, the most popular newspaper in the UK has a naked lady on the 3rd page. I wonder why it's so popular?
