Commercials I hate right now

Zappos' woman who ordered a dress but it came before she was emotionally prepared to deal with it so now it's in the garage and btw, can she return it.  WTF?

Re: Commercials I hate right now

  • I haven't seen that one, but I hate the one where the girl doesn't know who sent her the present, so the Zappos customer service rep tells her.

  • are those the ones with the puppets? i hate those too. the puppets look like they've spent some time in someone's garage. probably the garage of a producer of "Crank Yankers"

  • Crank Yankers.  Thank you.  That is what I was trying to think of when I saw that commercial.  I was thinking that it was an actual call, but the "not emotionally ready" blew that theory out of the water.

  • Don't they even say on those commericals that they are 'actual calls from Zappos customers'? I hate those too!
  • Yeah, those are terrible. Don't make me hate you Zappos. 

    I saw a commercial today that starts on some dude's overly tattooed arm, then goes down to his hand, and he's getting his fingernails painted, and then it pans out and it's this tough looking dude getting his nails painted by a little girl in a tutu and fairy wings, and it says something like, "Take time to be a dad" and it made me weep. So I hate that commercial too.

  • For me the worst recent offender was the "interchangeable moms" Kleenex ads. Why would you insult your target demographic?

    "The meek shall inherit the earth" isn't about children. It's about deer. We're all going to get messed the fuckup by a bunch of cloned super-deer.- samfish2bcrab

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • Oh man, there's a commercial for the Jimmy Fund Walk with this little cancer girl with a cancer hat on and she has this tiny voice "My friends walked for me. Who will you walk for?" and it makes me cry every time. I'll walk for you, little girl!!!

    I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
