<p>Geico did get rid of the gecko in new commercials. Now I’m seeing a witch in a broom factory and a weight-lifter directing traffic. Seriously, they need a new ad agency!</p>
<p>boysx3, I am another who’s still feeling sorry for the Citi guy at the end of the commercial. It leaves me thinking he’s a good looking guy, with money, but no personality.</p>
<p>lizard,
I agree, TV got very boring. My TV is on while I am doing something else. I am not capable of just watching TV, I fall asleep. Here is a sleeping pill that has no side effects, except for a bit higher electric bill as sometime I wake up around 1am and TV is still on. I would have no recollection about what I was trying to watch to begin with, let alone some commercials, very efficiently purged from my brain.</p>
<p>Lol ok ok fair enough. But in general :p</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That was Geico ad? Now I know. I saw it a few times, but never long enough to learn what it was advertising.</p>
<p>I didn’t remember it was a Geico ad, either. I had to google “witch in a broom factory” to find out who sponsored that bad ad.</p>
<p>mini,</p>
<p>You want political ads? come visit me in Ohio !</p>
<p>The insurance commercial where the guy says that he can get a policy for a non-smoker at a given age for a certain amount. I have heard the same commercial for 12 years.</p>
<p>Samsung’s iPhone commercial. Describe your own product - don’t knock the other company’s product. You’ll just basically annoy a large number of people. For some reason, I get the exact same feeling from the Samsung commercials that I get for political ads.</p>
<p>There are so many ads that are done well - why does there have to be a category that tries to annoy you to get you to try their product?</p>
<p>I miss Tom Carvel!</p>
<p>I think the witch one is funny… Lol</p>
<p>Hate the Liquid Plummer Double Impact commercials. Can’t imagine the discussions at the ad agency around that idea.</p>
<p>
That’s just it - picture a bunch of people at an ad agency not only coming up with the awful commercial but then sitting around viewing it, discussing it, and saying “Yes! That’s the ad we’ll pitch to the client.” and then presenting it to the client where they’re in a meeting room viewing the presentation of the awful commercial and the client agreeing that it’s a fine commercial and then actually paying for it! It shows you what they think of their clientele.</p>
<p>“You want political ads? come visit me in Ohio !”</p>
<p>I wish. I miss all the juicy ones. The best we have out here is one guy accuses the other guy of using some City Council funds ages ago to put a Persian rug in his office. I mean, is that all he’s really got? Pretty lame.</p>
<p>I have to settle for the neat Fedex commercial with the two candidates.</p>
<p>My TV blacks out whenever Brad Pitt’s Chanel No. 5 airs.</p>
<p>Brad Pitt’s ad is horrible. Are men supposed to be buying this crap now? Buy it for our wives or girl friends? Forget it.</p>
<p>And Brad Pitt is embarassing himself. He looks like a clown. He is spitting out nonsense.</p>
<p>The Brad Pitt commercial is truly awful. I immediately mute that one (and most others).</p>
<p>I guess Brad Pitt has fallen on hard times, if he is reduced to doing commercials.</p>
<p>I’ll tell you what commercial I love, the Volkswagen commecial with the bulldog and the theme song of “dirty old egg sucking dog.” I giggle every time I see that commercial. That dog is such a great actor.</p>
<p>I am a sucker for the ASPCA ad. Every time they air it, I feel the urge to go out and adopt one.</p>
<p>Not sure if it counts but the infomercial for some type of pillow drives me crazy. Seems like they have it going 24/7. Do that many people actually buy pillows from a TV ad?</p>
