I'm so sick of the new crappy tire add about their paint with Debbie Travers in it.
The wife wants all of these wise choices in the paint she likes but the poor dumb husband wants the paint to apply itself so he can watch bowling.
Another ad with wife being smart and husband looking like an idiot.
The reason why so many ads are like this is women buy 80% of products. Women have a much higher propensity to buy things that lack utility, which is the main reason for advertising, make people buy things they don't need.

Same excuse they use to sell beer, put women in bikinis
Same excuse they use to sell beer, put women in bikinis
It is the cheapest and simplest way to sell.
Sure doesnt make it right in my opinion though.
Well I don't think marketing is a good thing, but if you are going to play the game, this is how you play it.
I don't think companies should be allowed to have slogans. Just list what the product does and cite empirical data. Slogans are just an attempt to mislead people into buying products, not really a vital part of the capitalist system in my mind.

what gets me is this housewife proclaiming how busy she is, and by not having to put in a new dryer sheet everytime it manages to save her an unbelievable amount of time. i'd love to see what kind of procedure she uses in where it takes more than a second to put a dryer sheet in
Sometimes my dryer sheets are stuck together and it takes me 5 seconds to pull them apart first?

This is probably is/is not a fata (i'm hoping it is) and i know i'll get grilled for this cause apparently these commercials are a big hit with the CP population, but i cannot stand that Old Spice guy...."I'm on a horse.".....yes randomness is humorous when it's actually live and random but when it's not written, scripted and filmed in 300 takes until it is perfect for a 30 second ad?
95% of commercials are unbearably bad. I find it hard to sit through commercials now that I've been d/ling TV shows for the last however many years.
The only ones I really sit through now are radio commercials because my vehicle atm only has a radio. I heard the same annoying Fan960 commercials so often I'll basically turn off the radio when they come on. Unbearable.

Yeah, they certainly "jumped the shark"- the one where they get the car out of the care wash to chase the blizzard truck was great but downhill from there.
I don't even "get" the one you are talking about. Why are they sleeping in the car? Why is eating a blizzard "bad?" (You assume its the kids' blizzards- then why did the kids not eat them?)
Or the one where the school girl hates jam sandwiches, always gets them, and would really love to have a ham sandwich. The mother; watching her daughter consider how to end this miserable existance says "I don't like all the preservatives."
Then bake a freakin' ham so your daughter can have a sandwich and not become all emo.
This one is terrible because it doesn't even make sense. The kid can't have ham because the mom doesn't like preservatives, so she feeds her JAM instead? Hmmmm. Exactly how does that Potassium Sorbate taste?

On the drive in to work this morning, I hear that annoying voice go something like "Welcome tooooo the FUUUTUREEEE" and I knew immediately it was that damn Kia commercial and shut off the radio.
does not accurately express my anger towards that ad.
