Bonham Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 "Cutting a straight line with scissors is nearly impossible!" What the hell are they talking about!? I understand that the people who come up with new gadgets are trying to sell them, but what is up with the absurd claims that they make to do it? I can't speak for others here, but personally, I have zero difficulty cutting a straight line with scissors. The way they go on, you'd think you couldn't make a damn sandwich without cutting your hand off. What do you think about some of the ridiculous things they say or show on commercials? Or what particularly outrageous things have you seen on commercials? Edit: "Contact a doctor if you experience an erection lasting more than 4 hours." Why, does the doctor want to join in?! "Its so sharp you can even chop a pineapple... In midair!" Hahahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I know what you mean. The commercials are ridicuous. My personal favorites are the ones where they offer you a piece of spandex-y stuff that "slims you instantly". I do watch TimeLife informercials for music sets though.

I'm talking specifically about dumb advertisement. And two buses colliding either side of you will slim you instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I hate the ones that are so cheesy you know the product won't work. I bet that the spandex is more comfortable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonham Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Victoria Secret's, always claiming ten times "We've got the bra to fit YOU" . . . . . . . . . . . . nuff said I wouldn't know about anything like that. The most annoying commercials are on the radio to be honest. Like a guy pretending to be a dog and the advert goes "I can tell you when I want to go for a walk! Woof! I can tell you when I'm hungry! Woof! But I can't tell you if I have gum disease... ) It's like, shut the hell up!! Just sell the product already. I have to hear that guy daily, maybe that's why I'm unusually annoyed by him.

Bonham Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 What do you tell the check in nurse at the emergency room. " I took too much Viagra and I cant get rid of this erection"? I'm sure they'd ask you for sperm donations while you're there. Or blood donations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonzoEqualsGoodStuff Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Speaking as a girl here, I love how Always commercials say "Have a happy period." Are you fucking kidding me? I also love the cutting in a straight line nonsense talked about in the original post. The person who they show cutting the paper looks like they're having a seizure. I think people are smart enough to not try to cut stuff when they're having a seizure. Maybe it's just me. Also, Bob in the performance enhancement commercials (I can't think of which one it's advertising... that's all they advertise anymore!). He is a creepy mofo. I don't think the reason he's not having sex is cuz he can't. I think the reason he's not having sex is because his wife is trying to find a way to escape and he can't figure out where she is.

Humbucker Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 "I'm a moron, and this is my wife..." Frank Zappa George Orwell described advertising as "...the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket." I concur. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know; with so many of the commercials for prescription meds, the (potential) side effects almost always sound 1,000 times worse than the condition you take the pill for in the first place When my children were babies, all the commercials that came on during daytime tv drove me nuts (i.e your baby wears Pampers, eats Gerber, your windows sparkle, you serve your children fresh baked cookies every afternoon after school, and you can eat off your kitchen floor. And you clean your house with a huge smile on your face, in full makeup, with your hair perfectly done). I loved the Luvs diaper commercials, because that's much more what our house was like Personally, I really love the commercials from the 70s. They were so much more enjoyable; plus they really branded the products. How many of us can still recite these word for word?
