every commercial this time of year goes balls to the wall trying to tug at your heartstrings, and it's so desperate and transparent that i don't know why SNL doesn't literally just do parodies of current commercials.

i saw an ad yesterday where (I believe) Elena Della Donne was tugging at my heartstrings for 30 seconds giving me the life story of her mentally and physically handicapped sister, and the entire time it's running i'm like, "is this a new e:60 or is this an ad for something? what are you trying to sell me?" literally 30 seconds of this life story stuff and then at the end there's just a Toyota logo followed by some newly minted slogan about helping people or making the world better together or something.

 

Toyota going all-in with the sappy, heart strings tugging commercials that have fucking nothing to do with anything. now they've got one where a bunch of soldiers are returning home (super fucking original idea there toyota) and one soldier's family brings a bunch of yellow paper to the airport and they use them to form the image of a yellow ribbon, which of course then makes everybody cry while some breathy "welcome home" song plays. fade to: "Toyota."

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT.

Every time I see this commercial, I get hung up on all of the posterboard cue cards casually discarded on the floor after the ribbon display and I wonder whether they will eventually pick up after themselves, and whether anyone is going to slip and fall on it in the meantime.

I get a real kick out of the "and whatever this is" guy ghostriding the whip at the end of the Geico "Smart Dogs" commercial.

"Limes and Coronas." Something about the delivery of that line just gets under my skin. I'm a Romo fan, but that whole call center theme was worn out two years ago and it needs to die.

I think they should have one where Romo shows up at the desk but now there's another desk right next to his and it's Jay Gruden with a Corona Light visor on.

I know it's been mentioned but I still can't get over how incredibly tone-deaf the Thomas J. Henry commercial is where he leaves his million dollar house, climbs into a chauffer-driven Rolls Royce, pulls up to a private jet, hands his briefcase to an underling, sits down in luxury, and stares intently out the window... Never once acknowledging any one else around him with even a glance.

Yeah, that's the guy I want to give money to for legal representation.

Lots of stupid people think that having wealth means you have great merit in whatever you do. So the richer you act, the better you must be. I ain’t saying that’s correct at all - I’m just telling you how a lot of American consumers think.

Pizza ad:

Guy: this pizza is ginormous

Girl: well, you know what they say, everything is bigger in New York

Guy: that’s Texas

Girl: let it go, Mattie

Guy: right

 

I don’t get it.

same as that dumbass state farm shit. the retard agent says something and Mahomes, Rodgers, and their state farm homie all look at him like he's retarded. then he responds, "Did we just have a break through?" i don't get it. they all just looked at you like you're regarded- what part of that prompts you to ask if you just made a break through? it makes no sense whatsoever.

These horrible parents leave their trash on the table instead of throwing it away on the way out.

Is this one where they traipse all over town looking for the toy and then see a woman walk out of McD's with it and they get up to follow/mug her?

The State Farm ones with Rodgers and the agent are so stupid. It’s analogous to a joke that when first told produced a slight chuckle. The teller has nothing else so he keeps telling the same joking, making it more elaborate but with same, now tired, weak punchline.

It’s also got that old school idea that whatever the fuck you are hocking, have a lunk head jock do it. Once that runs out of steam, do you start over with a fresh premise? He’ll, no! Add a second lunk head jock. Because two famous guys who have absolutely not a fucking thing to do with insurance are better than one!

Plus, it's like they didn't want to pay Patrick Warburton to play the agent, so they found the cheapest actor who kind of looked like him they could find.

How’s about Rodgers gets a new agent if he hates his current one so much.

If you have Geico insurance you are pretty much fucked if you need to file a claim anyway.

I have used All State for over 30 years and never had an issue. A co-worker of mine was in a no fault accident and he had to pay out the ass. I know there are different types of coverage but he got billed by Geico for $2500 just for cleaning up the road.

I have never heard of that before.....ever.

But hey, he saved 15% or more on his premiums. Or something.

I'm guessing it has already been mentioned, but the commercial where the girl tells her insurance agent how her brother was getting the station wagon hand me down really grinds my gears.  Stupid, spoiled, ungrateful sap is getting wheels and freedom and whining because it isn't stylish enough.  Fuck him.  That station wagon would be a fucking party wagon if he wasn't such a pathetic worm.

B.I.N.G.O.

My dad made the money and he got the new car. Then they filtered down through the family.

Those insurance agent commercials.  There are more State Farm offices in this country than their are McDonald's.  25% of your premiums goes to cover the G&A overhead of your local agent.  It's a fucking pyramid scheme.  The world needs underwriters and claims agents.  The world does not need insurance brokers.

Shit yes. The worst thing about having a station wagon was you would be obliged to drive out every night because you could fit the most people.

My friend had a Buick Electra station wagon with the rear facing fold up seat in the back. That thing was packed every weekend night in high school.

I have to second the horribad Apple commerical with the kids in the snowfight.    its fucking stupid, I dont give a damn that it was "shot on an iphone"

 

Im pretty fucking sure the $5Mil video editing software used to edit the commercial was the biggest input into how that commercial looks--- not your fucking phone.

Exactly. There are a million ways to take high quality video dirt cheap.  Sets, lighting, direction, editing are what made the video look good, not the simply the camera

This stupid Mazda commercial During the CFPs where the young hipster couple drives all around procuring items for their new restaurant in the least cost effective way possible. 

Not familiar with this one, but it similar to the guy returning a text in person.....because driving this car is soooo awesome that you are looking for excuses to drive it?  Or the one a couple of years ago where a dad and a kid are driving the kid's friend home and it shows them driving through canyons, over hills, past the ocean etc and the punch line is that the kid actually just lives next door!  They wasted 4 hours of that kid's life driving 250 miles out of their because driving their new car is JUST SO MUCH FFFFUUUNNNNN!

 

FUCK YOU!!!!! Show the part where they spent $80 filling the tank on their idiotic jaunt.  Or the actual reality of being on the road....hugging the bumper of the car in front of you, traveling at walking speed because driving a car in real life is largely a fucking beating.  Or the DAD taking a fat steaming dump on the environment driving his gas guzzling SUV for 4 hours instead of having the walk next door.  Why do you hate nature MAZDA?

Just here to add the new ASPCA sad shivering dog commercial to this list.

This x 1,000.  I will send these misguided fuckers $50/month NOT to show the pitiful animals.  My wife and daughter keep their fingers on the last channel button to avoid these ads.  Horrible and evidently based on a focus group of crazy cat ladies.  Just throw up the organization name and the website or phone number.  It's not necessary to torment healthy, caring people who love animals and already donate to your organization with gratuitous video of innocent, miserable kittens and abandoned, malnourished, shivering dogs.  Shades of Sally Struthers.
