Being that I don't have my laptop back yet I have not been on the computer as much. Other then when I go to work early and get on line. So that means that I have been watching more of the devil's box (TV) I have been seeing commercials that really bug me. I mean they get me cranky! I know, its just commercials but still. ( If only I ruled the world)
One type that I hate is the class action lawyers. The commercial comes on and says have you or a loved one been harmed by blah blah blah? Call us and we will get you money. They should have to disclose that for every dollar that you get they will take .99 of it.
The other one is all the drug company commercials that come on. Sad? Fat? No hair? Can't breath? Can't walk? Can't preform ( Wink) Well they have the drug for you. Call them up, they will give you a free gift certificate that you take to the DR. so that he can give you a prescription.
To me they are just a bunch of drug pushers.
Then there's this one for a dating site. They call it like it is. It's bootycall.com! The tag line is " You don't have to marry them to have fun" It's a cheesy commercial. It just bugs me. All the girls on the commercial are having so, so much fun being a booty call.
Then there's this one for some yogurt. It "may" help you because "maybe" it might plug up little holes that you might have in your digestive track that "may" be caused by stress. It's all based on "maybe" Maybe I wont by your yogurt cause I dislike your TV add. Oh, that's not maybe, I wont. So there.
OK. Enough of me ranting. Do commercials make you cranky?

I usually mute commercials. I hate when my guys have the TV blaring and the C's are so loud and anoying.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I love about DVR's, I can record the programs I like to watch, and fast foward through the commercials I can't stand. I especially don't like the commercials they show during kids shows. You know very well who they're aimed at.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of commerials that bug me, but I'm going to tell you the commerial I love.
ReplyDeleteAny of the Jimmy Dean commerials I just love. The JD guy just wants the cloud,and cloud to be happy! How can you not smile about that.
In addition to you dislikes, I hate the "intimate product" ones. Some things are private and should stay that way. R U "fresh" enough????
ReplyDeleteI hate the thinly disguised efforts to "help you save money!" that really cost you more. Like a certain credit card that will help you track how much coffee you buy each year, PLUS they get interest for "helping" you. Or the ones that will offer you a credit card to get your tax refund earlier than a check or direct deposit. So you get to pay them interest on your own money just because you can't wait for the check to get here.
ReplyDeleteWell put... Think the ones that bug me the most are the lawyers as they are just encouraging the wrong people, who don't want to work anyway, to sue and to be "disabled". And the drugs - just look in any magazine you read and see how many ads to push them (and I always love the side effects - do they leave anything out - like it can cause diarrhea or constipation. So if I have to work in the field all day do I want to make sure it's in the boonies with trees and I have toilet paper (or socks in your case!!teehee) or should I take prune juice??!! And what else irks me are the stupid "judge judy" type shows and a lot of the topics on talk shows. And have never been a soap opera fan.(we don't have cable or satellite so real limited on t.v.channels/shows but then only watch t.v. from around 6-7pm to 9-10pm on average due to work and better things to do on weekends). We do watch dvd/tapes when time allows- have to have my "Old Yeller" fix at least once a year (and yes, still cry!!)
ReplyDeleteI hate that yougurt commercial too! I just saw it last night and commented to Jim that I hate it. The whole simulated picture of those things clogging up holes so bad things don't get in seems so made up, but what I hate more is that lady wears that bright yellow to match the container. First it's her top and later her pants are that color. But the worst part is that tiny, narrow container that she sips. I dunno...it just all bugs me so much!!
ReplyDeleteSo I take it you won't be trying any Dan-active soon?
