There is a commercial that doesn't exist, and it opens with a long shot of a helicopter, mid-air, crying loudly onto the birds below it, killing them. We then smash-cut to the inside of an abandoned grocery store, where a masked thief is running around SUSPICIOUSLY, wielding an empty burlap sack labelled "Goods!!!!!!" with exactly that many exclamation marks. The commercial is live action, but for some reason, all the items in the store are cartoon envelopes with eyes and mouths, each one a different colour (of the rainbow). The music for "Who likes short shorts" begins to play, and the items in the shop all start singing "PLEASE DON'T STEAL US" in tune to the music. They are moving back and forth, expanding and contracting, much to the thief's dismay. This continues for about four minutes, with the "duh-duh-duh DUH DUH DUH DUH" melody of the song replaced occasionally with the sound of an angry duck, quacking "quack-quack-quack QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK." The screen tilts infrequently to the disposition of a neglected toddler. Finally, once the thief has grabbed each and every cartoon envelope, we cut to an exterior shot of an erupting volcano, over which the thief's screams can be heard, "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" and then we smash cut to black. Some white text fades onto the screen in silence: PAID FOR BY THE ULTERIOR MOTIVE COMMITTEE OF YUGOSLAVIA. (Propaganda Machine Vortex #899) And then everyone's tv stops working. I hate it.

If you're going to indulge in potent psychoactive substances, at least offer to share...
Most any TV commercial featuring actors portraying real clients or consumers really grates against my nerves.

Oh, every time I here that one, I just have to mock it. My ears fill with blood evertime I here it (said overdramatically.)

It doesn't matter. I live in Alabama, where that kind of thing is tolerated.

Guess what day it is...
The day you finally decide to get a freakin' calendar.
It's Hump Day. You fail at the Internet.
I know, it's terribel I heard that birth and pregnancy rates increased 9 months after Hump Day started. How long has it even been out?

The term "Hump Day" has been around for years. I think it originated on a radio station, but I'm not sure.

I only heard about it a few months ago, I am very late with society.

I heard that birth and pregnancy rates increased 9 months after Hump Day started.
I don't think that necessarily has to do with 'Hump Day' regaining popularity, as 'Hump Day' does not physically entail anything sexual. It's likely more of a coincidence, or even more likely some lie that the media made up.

Or ShinyMetal*** trying to be funny but miserably failing.
She does that a lot. Anyway, I think all commercials with Ariana Grande on Nick are annoying because they make her act stupid and her voice is so annoying.

That Galaxy Watch commercial is so overplayed.
Good thing that they are airing shortened versions of it now.

Those "Koo Koo for Cocoa Puffs," commercials are terribly stupid.

I really find that promo for American Horror Story to be stupid. I've never watched the show, but that half-cow-half-man thing creeps me out.

I've never seen it, but I remember seeing commercials for the movie "Mama," they were hysterical yet creepy at the same time.

Someone should start a most favorite commercials thread?
Nevermind, I don't think there's too many of those.

I should have worded it differently. I meant a, what commercials do you find somewhat funny and don't mind watching thread.

I can at least respect advertising to some degree when it's original/clever/very well-done (ie. When someone's "Don Draper-ed this shit"), but it's still advertising at its core. I could never consider it art or something that I actually like.
