Can't believe I forgot the most obvious commercial fails:
All, and I do mean ALL, of the UGO ads.
Especially the ones that have ALL THAT FUCKING AUDIO THAT YOU FUCKING CAN'T FUCKING TURN OFF!

He's been arrested at least once before for having stolen goods, but keeps coming back.
On the subject of terrible regional advertising...
Etc.
At least I could get a laugh of out those.
The ones I hate: eHarmony and their models telling how they all met on eHarmony cause the script said they did.
I guess I can get some pleasure out of them because the "extended free communication periods" keep getting longer and longer, so they must need to draw people in.
I met my girlfriend on another dating sight, but these commercials are downright pretentious. They drip fakeness.

Not to be confused with Billy May, the musician and composer who did the jazzed-up arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov's “Flight of the Bumblebee” for the 1960s Green Hornet TV series.
Totally OT, but WTF.
My DVR recording finished and I was greeted with the informercial for this:
Which at first glance from a distance looks like the Vag-Steam which admittedly is more interesting.

I appreciate that they didn't go the obvious route and cast some fat old balding guy as the rich Russian dude. They cast a guy who's actually very good looking.
Here's an article by someone just figuring out that the Quiznos ads are targetted at the same folks who made Harold and Kumar a household name.
They're not the "Spongemonkeys" after all. And not marmosets either. My world has been blasted!
How many times have I said "Spong Monkeys!" in this thread?
All right, I think it's just once, but still...

LOL! Reminds me of an old joke about a Polish feminine hygiene product . . .My DVR recording finished and I was greeted with the informercial for this:

on the contrary, the commercial worked perfectly. the mere fact you remember the product and decided to raise awareness of the said product, in a public forum, it can be argued the advertising dollars were well spent and proved effective.
The latest anti-drug ad which has the teenagers at a party with ropes tied to them bopping around like retarded marionettes is absolutely intolerable to me. The god awful music accompanying it makes it 10 times worse. I cannot possibly change the channel fast enough when it comes on.
Maybe the people who come up with this stuff should try some drugs, then perhaps their ads won't be such huge chunks of shit.
edit: It may actually be anti-alcohol, I'm not sure. Whatever it's trying to tell me not to do, I definitely want to do it.

There's a commercial for a truck I remember that I felt totally missed the mark. I remember a truck being on the side of the road, and the person inside was talking with someone. They were talking about how much they liked "You've Got Mail." Commercial ended, and that was that. No info on model number, nothing. I can't even remember if it was a Ford or Chevy commercial. They must had taken out of circulation because I never saw it again. I don't think it was a tie-in to promote the movie either, because this was quite a few years after the movie had been released. All I remember is they were promoting a "tough truck", though the talk about the movie seemed to totally contrast that, so it made me wonder what demographic they were going for.
Advertising that sells an image or a fantasy, and scarcely mentions anything about the product at all, is nothing new.

It took longer for them to list all the potentially horrible side effects than it took to list the positive results.
I don't like this Dairy Queen commercial...

The woman smacking her lips, saying "We are so baaad!!!" with her mouth full of ice cream is off-putting. And what are they doing anyway, reclined in a car with the kids asleep in the back? I've seen this commercial more times than I can count and I don't know what's going on.

They must be living out of that car cause all this family seems to do is chase Blizzards.
I really hate commercials that have tripled recently: the ones where the husband/boyfriend/man is stupid as all get out and the woman swings to the rescue. How does this make me want to buy this product when I'm being called an idiot?
At first the woman in the Dairy Queen commercial looks like a monkey. Another one that bugs me is the current Quiznos ones with the kittens is it? Very weird and off putting.
For a time in the 90s german unions or banks targeted the young adults, i.e. barely out of school and into thw workforce (late teens or very early 20s) as their demographic and tried to get them to sign up.
They tried cool, hip lingo and current styles and failed abysmally on a strategic level failing to realize that such people usually don't think that far ahead about their future and that their attempt to appeal to youth culture was just plain embarrasing.
Was fun though to mock the commercials.

I'm with you.
I can't figure out what they did. Did they just steal the ice cream? Why are the kids sleeping? Are they only at a red light?
And yeah..we don't really need to hear people eating in commercials. It's bad enough in real life.
