Re: Rainy Day Poll

  • i offer my answers with a disclaimer--my husband works in advertising, so this is a hot topic in our household, and i watch a LOT of commercials, even though i don't watch much tv to speak of! 

    1) i like the reeses pb cup commercial with the sharks.  i also like the one with the goat in a party hat standing on the table.  (i think it's for windex or something).

    2) the skittles ads are horrifying.

    3) i generally don't buy things based on ads.

  • 1.  I am in LOVE with Mayhem - the guy in the insurance commercials (Allstate?) who wrecks people's cars.  HILARIOUS.

    2. Most annoying is anything from Bob's Discount Furniture.  I can't stand Bob and Mrs. Bob!!

    3. Hmm...I actually fast forward through most ads these days so I can't think of anything I've bought because of one recently!

  • I really don't watch too many ads since I DVR almost everything.  I agree with Danielle about those damn Bob's Furniture ads.  I was so happy when I moved away from New England to be rid of them, only to have them open up stores in the area a few years later.
  • I also DVR almost everything so I almost never watch commercials anymore!!

     

    I like those ETrade baby commercials, they crack me up.

    The Bobs ones are bad, I agree. I really hated those Groupon ads that were on for a few days after the superbowl. 

    Probably an ad for ice cream, not anything specific. It just put ice cream in my head and then I needed to buy some. And it was satisfying!!

  • Sorry for the post & run yesterday. Here are my answers:

    1. What is your favorite TV ad? I like the Chrysler one where they say, "this is not New York city and we are no one's Emerald City" It's nice.
    2. What is your most annoying TV ad? I hate, hate, hate AAMCO's ad especially when they play it back to back with the people making the weird noises. Ugh!
    3. Is there a recent TV ad that prompted you to buy something? What? Were you satisfied? We saw a Domino's pizza ad, large 2-topping pizza for $5.99. We were feeling lazy and called our nearest Domino's and they said they didn't know what we were talking about. LOL But next day I saw the ad again. Hmmm
