In the tradition of counting down to the Super Bowl, I've decided to post some of my favorite beer commercials daily until the big game. I'll finish it off with my top 10 super bowl commercials of all time. Enjoy.
Shit Beer. Fantastic Commercials.
After a long weekend of football and football commercials there are some much needed points that need to be brought up. Although I was surprised by some of the creativity in the commercials over the weekend, some of the ideas still just plain upset me.
First off does anybody actually find the progressive lady to be funny on any level? Is she supposed to be funny? Or is she just so annoying that you’ll finally give in to call Progressive for a quote? There’s a handful of people on this earth that I generally despise. She’s slowly climbing the ladder. She is awful is so many ways that its hard to describe. I’ve actually laughed once or twice because I found it hilarious how someone could actually put this crap on TV. There’s nothing intriguing about this character on any level. She’s not funny, she sounds like nails on a chalkboard and she bears an unthinkable name. Flo. Awful. Simply Awful. I look at it this way. When I rather listen to an obnoxious Australian sounding gecko than an actual person, there’s a huge problem.
I’ve had enough of commercials with Beatles songs.. I don’t know how it relates to cell phone plans and banking.. When you here Here Comes the Sun for a feminine product you know it’s time to call it quits…
Although Bud Light and Miller Light may be the worst beers ever created, they do have the best commercials hands down. If they only put the money they spend on commercials on their beer instead, it would be a perfect product…
Where the hell has all the monkeys in commercials gone? Monkeys in an office setting may be the single most creative thing we’ve ever done. Yes that’s how far we’ve come as a species….
One positive note over the weekend was a suprisingly funny Walmart commercial... Yes Walmart.. The company we all love to hate.. Check it out for yourself..
Day 1 Part II, I have a lot of stuff on my mind so why not?
My next vicitim are these Cash 4 Gold commercials . We've all seen these commercials on TV and the concept is pretty simple. You send or bring in your old gold and they send you cash. Pretty easy right? Well somewhere along the line they decided to hire horrible actors and actresses that have no prior experience what so ever. And ok I know what your thinking, they might be actual costumers. Well it doesnt look like it. They seem like they have no idea whats going on what so ever, like there in total shock that things like this can happen. OMG i can't believe I got cash for gold!! Am I missing something? Its gold for christ's sake! Of course there's cash in it! It's not like there sending in half eaten malomars and getting cash back.. That would be a shocker.. And the best part is how the people in the commercials change throughout the day. Have you noticed this. During the day when shows like the Price is Right and All My Children are on older, WHITTER actors and actresses fill the commercials. Whats up with that? But if your like me and stay up PAST 8:30 things change a bit. It goes from older whiter people, to some crackheads with 3 teeth. And the acting changes. It goes from "I can't believe I traded in my mothers gold for cash!" to " I Went in with the gold I had, they did no background check or asked for no ID and withing minutes I had my gold." Whats going on here? Background check? Where are these people getting their gold from? It should be " I took in the gold I stole from the woman in the earlier commercial and traded it in for cash. no hasssles.. Thank Cash4Gold." Now that comment would make more cents.
Thank you for tuning in and welcome. I started this blog to bring attention to the ridiculous world of commercials. I would say 90 percent of the commericials on TV right now are complete crap and the other 10 percent are tolerable at best. Here I will put my take on commercials and how they factor into the real world..
The first commercials I will discuss is the mecca of shitbombs. Olive Garden. Does anybody hate this friggin place as much as I do? I've only been inisde once to use the bathroom and I am ashamed to this day... I actually brought it up during confession a few years back and the italian priest cringed at the thought..... The commercials alone make me want to jump from a high riser at any given moment.. And to be honest I'm offended... Not only as an Italian American but as a human being in general.. When did it become ok to pronounce Italian words like this? I honestly sustain a migrain everytime they pronounce Manicotti or Mozzarella like a four year old was saying it. .. Does anybody actually say to themselves that the food looks good??? Yea maybe if you live in North Dakota. The saddest part about it is that everytime I drive by its packed! If you are an Italian American walking into an Olive Garden you should just beat your self into submission because all hope for life is out the window.... We've recently heard that the Italian American society is suing MTV for the Jersey Shore because it's offensive and stereotypical... What about the Olive Garden???? I think thats more offensive than anything these meatheads have ever done. The commercials always have some over the top dorky white guys with some totally lame comments about the food and their wives and friends... Is it really like that in there? Maybe not in Ny but the Midwest possibly? Do you walk into the restraunt and get transported in to cornball hell?? I mean you've got to know your companies integrity is at stake when your commercials cause more heartburn then the food actually does.. Well I guess I'll just have to keep the tums in hand...
That Hit the Spot!
