Guys, guys......

The Cashman ads are the clear winner here.......
well........not so fast.....actually Russell Oliver is an easy target, but for me his ads are,nt so annoying
i dont mind ads with re occurring characters....Doug from Liberty Mutual, or Carl from the Charles Shwaub ads or the A& W guy
having said that the vast majority of ads are a nuisance, but in our free market capitalist society a necessary evil

The new ones with his kids? At least Russell had irony and hot club chicks. The kids have no charisma, no presence, Android phone CGI and no soul.

i remember one from years ago when his son cried..."Dad can i run the Hamilton store?".....for years his ads have been around and im all too familiar with them......but i have never been the slightest bit interested in visiting his store, much like most others...however he no doubt has captured quite a few who need a glorified Pawn Shop..

The annoying old man lecturing about cantaloupe ad - more annoying everytime I see it.

Those ads showing sports figure destroying their food order.

Aside from the incredible distracting dental work, which is a pet peeve all on its own, there are so many questions.

Why do all these ads seem to be half dubbed from another language, but only half the dialogue not all of it?

Why is the big guy so angry? “Oh yeah!! Prove it!!”

If they’re friends why do they all book the trip separately and not let each other know they got a deal before hand? Instead they let the poor schmuck pay a higher rate and then make fun of him? Ok, i just discovered why he’s so angry.

The Subaru ad with the kid asking questions.

Where do bunnies live? How tall do trees grow? He’s an annoying little fucker but I’ll forgive those ones. But every time I hear the kid ask “where does the sun go at night” I want to do violence to my television.

What school is this kid going to that he doesn’t know this?? Do they not tell him the fucking earth is round?? ARRRRGGGGGHHHH :mad:

The kid is being raised by MAGA parents. They are also clueless to the questions.

Tide detergent TV commercial, showing a nerdy looking girl asking her mom "do crabs have eye brows?"
This commercial does not say anything about Tide. What does crab eye brows have to do with detergent?
The ad agency has forgotten about the 5 Ws of marketing. Tide is wasting money using them.

I like clever ads, not ads where people just act stupid and think it is funny.

Wasn't there an ad years ago of a classy lady getting into the back of a car, waiting for a ride, thinking she was alone, who then let out a loud fart only to realize that there was a driver in the car?

But... it's funny ONCE NOT A THOUSAND TIMES!!!

Also the boy asking about Aioli stains. How many kids his age know or care what Aioli is. I admit I had to goggle it.

Don't really have cable or anything, but stream now and then. Pampers had an ad where instead of calling a leak, a leak, they started saying a blow out. Drove me nuts, yes babies have leaks, but a blow out? What did the fucking diaper explode like a high pressure line? What a stupid, and disgusting term to use.

It seems over the last year they stopped though.

Ikea has an ad for best bathroom, showing a girl throwing an iPhone down the toilet.
What does iPhone down the toilet have to do with best bathroom??
Ikea needs a new ad agency who understand what are the 5Wsof marketing.
