When did annoying become a selling point?

Maybe its just me, but does anyone actually call anyone else collect? Sure... in emergencies maybe but if I was getting collect calls all the time I would shoot the person in the face who kept doing it. How in the world can that business be so large that there are like 5 different services out there with big time marketing campaigns going?

For me the high point of the Tracy Morgan commercials is the hockey one where he's like "Yeah, you're scared now... don't be --" then he slips on the ice and lands on his ass. I myself think they're damn funny.

I was under the impression that comedy based soley on being really loud and making funny faces with nothing to back it up died with Jim Carrey's career.

 

Silly me.

He's rich, but I think his "watch me make funny faces!"

Hey, I can make some more funny faces!

 

routine has grown stale.

 

He hasn't done anything major in a while.

Well I'm glad for him your thoughts on the man have no bearing on his career, although it seems you like to think that way.

Someone hasn't seen box office numbers from Bruce Almighty yet.

 

 

Oh and Carrey is far smarter then you give him credit for.

Business Data for Bruce Almighty

 

$242,589,580 (USA) (19 October 2003)

Totally forgot about that. Oops. :)

 

Nevermind then.

He's brilliant. He's found a way to make millions off of facial expressions and not much more.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Old Navy commercials.

That and GAP. I'm so glad the old Navy bitch is gone though. Her and that dumb dog. Also look for it in the news, a stranger goes on a shooting spree, says he was inspired by the hate obtained from watching GAP commercials about scarves.

I just hope that doesn't happen while I'm at work.

I really hate those Jared Subway commercials, esp. the latest one with Jared eating at a fine restaurant and saying he ate Subway for lunch.

I've been wondering that if I kill Jared and throw him in a river...

 

would that be ok if I had a cold cut trio from Subway for lunch?

I was going to bitch about the horrid horrid horrid commercial voice stream used to have with Jammie Lee Curtis looking in a bucket for her cell phone minutes "HELLO LITTLE MINUTES?" but then you guys reminded me of other evils.

First, the McDonalds commercials. I LIKE MCDONALDS. I've eaten there since I was a kid, but those commercials seriously make it hard to eat there. Especially with so many other fast food options I like now, BAH DAP BOP BOP BOW doesn't exactly make me want to eat at McD's.

Second, what I think is in my top 5 worst commercials list, and trust me that's a hard list to crack, that fucking GAP commercial with (I'm told, I don't recognize her) Madonna and (I'm told, Once again I don't know what she looks like) Missy Elliot. Or as I call them "Fake looking white bitch and fake looking white bitch". EVIL EVIL EVIL
