A Nissan ad suggesting they are on a city ride, but the beginning is a shot in Canada (probably Vancouver) and the last shot is the stadium named for them in Nashville.

It seems like a first date, but it's almost like they are neighbors who just ran into each other getting the mail. The acting couldn't be worse, especial the guy's phony reaction when she's getting all jock talk on him. They're obviously talking about the Titans, but I'm struggling to figure out which running back is a "beast." The guy talks about this team as "his boys" in the most manufactured way possible. When they finally get to Nissan Stadium, he looks up at it like they've landed on another planet. The playful butt pat doesn't help either. This thing runs on a damn loop. I can't escape it. 1/10.

Snoopy, are you referring to this Nissan ad? Just curious how you know the opening shot is in Canada. Seems pretty generic.

Yes, the style of traffic light at the :05 mark gives it away as those are found only in Canada. Plus the wordless one-way sign, Plus the bike sign makes it more probable it is in Vancouver.

The CreditKarma ad where the girl has her credit score tattooed on her arm. I wonder what advertising genius thought that up.

This is a local thing, and radio to boot, but man this guy gets on my nerves!

The "Truck Farm of Easley" in upstate South Carolina ads drive me nuts.

 
oooh- look at this bendable, paper-thin new phone screen! makes a shape like the wave it's showing on the screen... bends this way and that way! pretty sci-fi, right? wait... no. now look at this mundane phone we're actually selling you. the screen is harder to break. which... is almost like having a bendable, paper-thing screen. right? pretty close?

 
The GMC commercials with the sports analogies.

"the pitcher who paints the outside corner of the plate is known as a Rembrandt."

just stop it already!!!!!!!!!!!

I just came here to post this! I hate this commercial so much. Probably because I haven't heard a pitcher referred to as a Rembrandt once during the thousands of baseball games I've listened to or have watched in my life. I SURE AS #### HAVE HEARD IT IN THIS COMMERCIAL A MILLION TIMES THOUGH!!!

They've been beating that one to death since football season started. It's actually sad now.

There's a sound a ball makes when it catches nothing but net.

 
Any non-sports product that uses sports in an analogy for itself is dumb.

"Teamwork makes the dream work for the Timberwolves...that's like our team here at Wixson Jewelers making your dreams come true." Ugh.

Russell Wilson has a few of these going, he is Alaska Airline's CFO (Chief Football Officer).

Really, all these ads where they compare their to something completely irrelevant. This GMC truck is alike a pitcher who paints the corners, this Chrysler is like Katniss, this Mazda is like the guy who changed how to do the high jump, this Chase banking acccount is like Serena Williams' double backhand....

ENOUGH!!! Your products are like none of those things!

 
I really like the Direct TV commercials. Cable execs in the board room. Glenn from the mailroom as the DJ might be the best.

I guess money is the simple answer but selling the image of Peter Pan to Geiko in which he is a giant ##### is an odd choice.

Peter Pan is almost certainly in the public domain.

This might be the only Geiko commercial that I don't like. They're usually pretty good, I just don't get the Peter Pan is a jerk thing.

The cat ignoring the dude is quicksand is gold though.

He's not a jerk, he's a 13 year old kid that never grows up. I find that funny. If I look back at what I was like when I was 13, while I thought I might have been funny back then, I was probably annoying to mature adults. Imagine if you grew up while one of your friends remained that obnoxious annoying 13 year old. You probably wouldn't think he's funny any more. Maybe I find it more funny than other people do, since I have a friend who hasn't really grown up yet and still makes stupid jokes we thought were funny 25 years ago but have gotten old.

I enjoy the Peter Pan Geico ad. My wife even laughed out loud at it. Ditto the Painfully Awkward Rob Lowe one.

 
I just watched the new Barbie commercial starring a little boy...... It was missing the part where the dad comes in and says "put that ####### doll down!" ...and then hands him a plastic gun to go outside and play with

 
The Mercedes commercial where the parents run down the stairs Christmas morning...

I want to choke the shreiking wife to death with my bare hands.

Chevy's at it again...

Sanctimonious bearded guy says "Instead of fighting over TVs on Black Friday wouldn't you rather buy a truck today?"

Does Chevy sell TVs now? Will there be people lined up to buy trucks on Black Friday?

Once again...I don't get it.
Click to expand...
Beating it to death with this one again today.

 
Two that I've learned to hate just because they're played so ####### much:

Bridgestone - "first time on a treadmill?"

Tostitos - "actually, my name is Brian."

Also, I will never buy a GMC based solely on those commercials. It's insulting that someone on this planet thinks they make sense.

 
The one that suggests it's better to "save thousands" by buying a $40K car than to "save hundreds" by going out on Black Friday. And I can't stand the thought of shopping on Black Friday.

(More generally, ANY commercial that make it seem like the most normal thing in the world to give someone a ####### CAR for Christmas.)

The most glaring foolishness is that they are excited t go to a Titans game.

That doesn't happen.

I'm not the typical fbg, so I'm pretty sure my wife would be like "wtf did you do?" if there was a car in the driveway for her on Christmas. Especially a Lexus or a Benz
