commercials that bug you

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

I like to think "What happened next...?" after really annoying commercials, where things go horribly wrong.

For example:
Like the dvr commercial where the chick gets out of the shower and complains that it feels like the dvr is watching her naked, and her husband replies "at least someone gets to."
What happened next?
Turns out her husband isn't her husband because she yells at him, "You're my brother, you sick pervert! Get out of my bathroom!"
"As they say in China, 'Arrivederci'!"

I find it hilarious that we now have commercials that suggest a full DVR is inexcusable and one of the worst things that could ever happen to you.
"ohmigod! You've only got 100 hrs of space on your DVR!! How will you get thru life!?"

We have become a society of whiny candy asses.

Yeah, if you have a DVR completely full, there's a lot of shit you'll never watch.

But the one where the kid does "two things at once" and then starts having a seizure is hilarious. Mostly because the guy cuts the little girl off and the expression on her face.
That guy is Beck from the awesome comedy group Good Neighbor. Oh look, here's a video by them.

Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

That wasn't funny. And the "gay" guy had mumblemouth syndrome. Either he was failing at some kind of accent, or his parents never explained ununciating to him.

Less a rant and more of a humorous observation.

That Pull-Ups diaper commercial where li'l Eli flushes for the first time and is then treated to a huge circus outside his house with hundreds of well wishers and banners(and a guy in a toilet costume).

Yeahhhh....Eli's life expectations are totally skewed going forward in life. He's gonna expect parades the first time he makes toast or opens a car door or masturbates. Or anything. Life's gonna be disappointing from here on out for pool ol Eli.

Every so often, Geico reminds us that they can be funny, they just usually choose not to be.

All the insurance companies commercials run together for me. Flo, the lizard, President David Palmer, the "mayhem" guy. It's all the same shit to me.

the new pepsi commercial with the multiple Beyonces bugs me because they play it so often. especially the part where she's bouncing her titties. it makes me want to jerk off every time I see it.

Geico's so ridiculous, even the biker who's made out of money is now a hero and they don't use the "you're not made out of money" tagline anymore. They're worse than Capital One, which is fucking hard because Capital One has Jimmy Fallon.

That Home Depot commercial where the wife wants to make some new rosebushes or some crap. So the guy takes his iPad(who does that?) to HD to show the lady and ask her "is this easy?" and then they make the rosebushes and the guy says "that was easy" and the wife gives him a look.

After, I imagine the guy saying to his wife, "Well, that's my entire weekend shot making your stupid rose planters. I better get to fuck your face tonight..."
