tigerwoodKhorns Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 The new GMC commercials. Every time it comes on I grab the remote to hit mute. It's ruining Eminence Front. That one is funny. The commercial is about buying expensive items (including their truck) to show off and be a "well put together man" and they are playing Eminence Front in the background, a song about how showing off expensive items is hiding behind an eminence front. Do you think this was intentional by someone? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Its even more ironic than that. Basically its just a Chevy... hiding underneath the high priced Denali trim package. The big wheel spins, hair thins crowd the Denali is marketed too... forgets they're hiding (a Chevy), it's a put on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Any drug commercial. The last 3/4 of the ad are basically someone reading side effects. My favorite, narrated by a woman with a pleasant, upbeat, almost happy voice; "side effects may include death." Well yay, that doesn't sound so bad when you put it like that!

DizRotus Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Commercials? I vaguely recall the concept.With the availability of a DVR, I rarely watch TV in real-time. The major exception is sports, and even then I toggle between the live action and something recorded, such as Jeopardy, Wheeler Dealers , Antiques Roadshow etc., during the breaks in action.What few ads I'm exposed to are on the Internet in those few seconds before I'm able to "Skip Ad."

Edgar Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 "Look at our car...it can do what every other car can do...only ours is better..." Even worse, they all show their 400 HP car winding dangerously through mountain roads, doing burnouts or doughnuts in intersections, drag-racing between stop lights, or kicking-up dust on a dry lake bed. I'm actually in the market for a new car. I face an hour commute, each direction, through crawling rush hour traffic. How much good will 400 HP, Z-rated tires, stability and traction control, multiple handling modes, radar-absorbing stealth paint job, and all the rest do me in that context? What I really need is a comfortable (not luxurious) vehicle that will make my commute tolerable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be fine with whatever you choose...based on the commercials, all of them have the basics bones and power of a race car. They also can weave through all of the traffic with ease, and can avoid it by using their proprietary GPS to find a street that has no other cars on it. If anything, you chould now be able to get to work in far less time than you ever did before. Plus, if you buy a truck, it will be able to drive through fire, tow the Statue of Liberty up a 12 mile steel helix ramp, and beat the school bus to the school. A win-win, if you ask me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's to "The Tall Man." I watch WD while I workout. The buyers get well sorted cars for a bargain, as WD never includes the value Edd's time in their bases.

billybobg Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) The GE Commercial comparing Fuel Gauges on a jet airliner. The one on the rights "uses" less fuel than the one on the left. I've never known a fuel gauge that consumed fuel. This by a company that is pushing their engineering prowess. As far as drug company ads. My experience is that all drugs have side affects. Of course there are other drugs that can deal with those side affects. I avoid all that I possibly can.

Jim Naseum Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I've noticed in the last month or so, Viagra/Cialis having commercials late in the afternoon, around 4-6pm. I like to watch the local news at 5pm, my 14 year old daughter is usually close by doing homework. I just think it's odd for them to be on at that time. I don't have kids. I've often wondered what parents of kids do during all these viagra ads? They seem to be on all the time, anytime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
