Stupidest Commercials of All-Time

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

Because if you do do drugs, you really are helping support SOME form of terrorism. It may not be Al Queda. It may be some drug warlord down in Colombia. But in some way, it's all paid with bloodshed.

More than likely, you'd be supporting inner-city gangs when you buy weed since they are the ones who sell it the most. Pretty much EVERY druglord in Columbia(or in any country) make their money with harder stuff like herion(as previosly mentioned), cocaine, etc., etc. THAT'S pretty much the problem I have with the commercials.

 

Notice how I have NO sympathy at all for drug users?

 

Those commercials are unpopular because no one wants to accept anything remotely resembling personal responsibility.

Oh believe me, I have no sympathy for them either, but wasting MY TV time by spewing misinformation is why I hate the damned spots. And linking buying weed to 9/11 is just milking that tragedy to pimp more bullshit(that they can't even get right) is what pisses me off, so fuck their pretenious asses. Every single one of them.

Can someone explain TheTruth tagline for me?

 

It's "Knowledge is contagious - infect Truth."

 

So, Knowledge is contagious... and Truth wants to be infected with it? Wouldn't that imply that Truth, at this point, doesn't have it?

 

Or am I somehow misreading/misinerpreting it?

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

This is a shot in the dark, but I think when they say "infect Truth", they mean they want the truth to "infect" the populace. I'm pretty sure that may be it.

See the words, contagious and infect are "bad" words for advertising, those words represent bad things, i mean do you know of a good infection?

 

Its all to help make the ads look bad, so they dont really turn peopel off their product. I mean there IS a reason people hate those commercials. I mean the words are right next to eachother and pretty much in the middle, this was all done on purpose to make the adds less harmful.

[Guest godthedog]

I actually liked the commercials linking drugs to terrorism.

well shit...why don't they just make commercials of people who buy clothing and novelties, saying they helped support overpopulation, child labor and general economic hardship in dozens of countries?

 

"You should be out with your friends, but you smoked weed and got grounded." WTF is that shit?

 

those commercials are such a riot. they're absurd on so many levels, but my favorite is the fact that the kids in the commercials look like they're ten. aside from those who starred in 70s & 80s tv shows, HOW MANY TEN-YEAR-OLDS IN THE WORLD SMOKE WEED? I NEVER KNEW ANY TEN-YEAR-OLDS WHO EVEN SMOKED CIGARETTES, MUCH LESS WEED! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WEED WAS WHEN I WAS TEN! HOW BIG IS THE DEMOGRAPHIC THESE COMMERCIALS ARE AIMING TOWARDS? the thought of a ten-year-old who can't go out with his friends because his parents caught him smoking weed just sends me into fits of laughter.

You would be in a big shock if you came here, my friend...

[Guest godthedog]

well...my guess is that if you're smoking weed at ten, you've got some bigger problems than smoking weed at ten...

[Guest phoenixrising]

Has anyone noticed the loophole in that commercial?

 

Basically, it says the kids got grounded because they smoked weed and their parents found out.

 

Which means...don't let your parents find out, then you can smoke weed and not get grounded.

 

I just find that funny.

 

Also, what if the parents are former hippies and are supportive of marijuana? Would they still ground their kid?

Knowledge is like a disease, and by infecting the population with this knowledge about what smoking does, you will overcome the lies of the tobacco companies and infecting others with the Truth. Notice how at the end of the commercials they put an asterisk on the people. Those people are infected with the truth and will pass it to others.

 

That's the only cool thing about the ads. The rest of the time I just wish someone would lay a beating on the rebel stoners.

No, the commercials are unpopular because they're milking a tragedy and attempting to link their faulty war on terrorism with their always fautly, never working war on drugs. If you ask me, that's irresponsibility right there.

I never noticed that until now but you're absolutely right...

[Guest DrEvil]

In general the ones I can't stand are the ones where they hire really bad actors who are having an "actual casual conversation" about whatever product. Because I know the first thing I talk about after a game of hockey is my erectile difficulties and/or my diarreah. Who the fuck just casually talks about this shit, and it's so painfully obvious that they're reading a script that I want to tear their throats out for thinking that I'm stupid enough to believe that they're not.

 

 

That zoom zoom kid needs to die, slowly and painfully. He reminds me so much of Damien from those movies (I can't remember the title), I'm sure he's the spawn of Satan. And that zoom zoom song is just too fucking annoying. I went to a car show a while ago and was talking to a salesman. I told him that I liked the car but there's no way I could buy it because everyone I know would constantly come up to me going zoom zoom, zoom zoom, zoom zoom. Unfortunately my buying power wasn't enough to bring the promo to an end.

[Guest dreamer420]

not exactly. most people begin by smoking weed at a younger age and then quitting, only to pick it up again a little later in life.

LOL... True... I thought of this also...

 

I actually know this has been said already, but I'm putting my vote for it:

Any truth.com commercials annoy the hell out of me

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

Vyce, I just want you to tell me how buying weed from a dealer, whose connection grows the stuff himself in a greenhouse on his own property IN THE UNITED STATES, supports a cocaine-profiteering crime family in Venezuela.

[Guest dreamer420]

those anti weed commercials are hilarious. everytime one comes on i swear i have my bong in hand and it makes me laugh so hard.

 

i also hate the one that I think was mentioned earlier that is another anti drug one saying that anyone who buys drugs is supporting terrorism. fuck all that shit

[Guest godthedog]

another one i forgot:

 

most people probably haven't seen this, but during 'law & order' reruns, they show commercials for hebrew national hot dogs. a woman is at a drive-thru of a hot dog place, then god (unseen, of course) comes beside the woman's car. he explains that the hot dog place has lots of artificial ingredients in their products, while hebrew national hot dogs use 100% real kosher beef.

 

is anybody else insulted to the very core of their being by the idea of a company that tries to use god to pimp hot dogs?

[Guest dreamer420]

i haven't seen that commercial but it sounds pretty fucking bad.

[Guest cynicalprofit]

You know that the government has proven that the anti-drug commericals arent working, yet they are still gonna spend a huge load of money on them, despite their own evidance that they DONT WORK. Read that ar NORML.org I believe.

[Guest sk8420kid]

I would say "Prison Song" by SOAD pretty much sums up the drug policies of America.

[Guest hardyz1]

All Kia commercials suck ass.

 

On the other end of the spectrum, I like most of Geico's commercials. The one with the deer has got the be the funniest commercial I've ever seen.

[Guest Mattdotcom]

I can't stand any of the four or so fake Spider-Man trailers...let's see..

 

Episode II

Mr. Deeds

8 Legged Freaks

Stuart Little 2 (the worst)

[Guest Michael Joel Benoit]

Fuck the U.S. goverment and their bullshit propaganda commercials. They should blame themselves for letting this happen.

Hey... those are great commercials! OK, maybe not, but how many other hot dog companies "Answer to a Higher Authority"? Exactly... seriously though, if you were a Jew trying to obey dietary laws (the prime audience of HEBREW national KOSHER hot dogs), you'd probably get a kick out of that.

 

My personal favorite "blasphemous" food product is He'Brew - The Chosen Beer.

[Guest dreamer420]

i also hate that everytime we go to the movies now we have to see a cheesy commerical for the canadian armed services. fucking commericials before movies are no good.

EXACTLY what I think every damn time that commercial is on!

 

Wait till you're 18 and move out on your own...then you can go weed crazy!

 

 

PUT SOME THOUGHT INTO YOUR MESSAGE, MORONS!

yeah, if i was an orthodox jew i'd probably buy hebrew national hot dogs, but i'd still be a little taken aback that a company goes low enough to use GOD to pimp their products.

 

i think the only thing more desperate than trying to fake god's endorsement would be using mentally retarded epileptic amputee war veterans.

[Guest evenflowDDT]

i also hate that everytime we go to the movies now we have to see a cheesy commerical for the canadian armed services. fucking commericials before movies are no good.

they have things like that in movie theatres around here, except they're like public service announcements with themes like "Caring for others - pass it on!" and cheesy stuff like that. The worst thing though, is before Spiderman they showed REAL commercials... for Ford trucks and stuff. Whasupwidat?!

[Guest dreamer420]

i have no idea what this new shit is with commercials before the movie starts. seriously though, how long will it be until the movie will stop to show a damn commercial.

[Guest MrRant]

They have a captive audience... what better place to show them? How the fuck are you going to change the channel on them? You'll watch and you'll like it goddamnit!

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

LMFAO!

 

I would just like to add that I hate the Start Little 2 commercials, especially the Spider-Man rip-off. Whoever approved them needs to be dragged out into the street and shot.

 

And that cellphone guy?I hate him. I want to eat his children. [/Tyson mode]
