MORE Awful Ads and Terrible TV shows

Post Reply New Topic

Now that I'm back from food shopping I have decided to list even more ads and shows that should be dead and buried. Enjoy. (if you can):

Awful Ads:
-"Flo", that obnoxious woman from the Progressive ads. And if she wasn't bad enough, they've introduced Flobot, who ironically is better looking, a better actor and not half as scary. Flo even once appeared as a SIM when I was playing Sims Social on Facebook and I was supposed to go on some stupid quest to gather unicorns and glitter. Why would Will Right allow this??? Oh well he's a bazillionare now so he probably doesn't care.

-Will Shatner's "The Negotiator" ads: You have betrayed all of Canada, Will. You deserve to be vaporized by a Klingon.

-Any and all ads for drugs where they list about a million side effects and/or possible reactions that sound more scary than the illness, and often the ailment is not something fatal, like bladder weakness, and they show stupid robots made out of pipes or that ethnically offensive cartoon bee with the Latin accent.

-That guy for Slap Chopper and his weak joke about his nuts, and then later came out with the Shcticky lint-roller where he talks about a "shedding p**** (cat)". Actually I bought a Shticky at the store and it's not bad, I can really use on my two cats to pick up loose hair without hurting them... but the ad is still ugh).

-HeadonapplydirectlytotheforheadheadonapplydirectlytotheforheadheadonapplydirectlytotheforheadAAAARRRRGH!! !

-The Skittle Pox commercial. I only saw this last night on YT, where a young guy with Skittles all over his skin tells his girlfriend the doctor told him he has the Skittle Pox, as if it were an STD, and then she pulls one of them off his face (Gross) and eats it, breaks out into Skittles and asks "Is it contagious?" it then ends with a "Contract the Rainbow!" I don't know about the rest of you but I would not want to eat food that was growing on another person, especially if they were diseased!

-Anything for yeast infections. The end. That's it. No more!

Terrible TV Shows:

-Anything with the word "American" in the title, especially America's "Funniest" Home Videos. Oh yes it's so funny watching babies projectile vomit and small children and innocent animals get badly hurt. Ha ha. How is this show even still on?

-Pawn Stars: A bunch of obese men with mush for brains sitting around and try to rip off people who are probably selling off their items as a last resort to make some money during a recession-depression. And my mother LOVES this show!

-The History Channel: Like many others I used to cynically call it the Hitler Channel, but I guess they ran out of new things to put on about Hitler. Now it's mostly stupid auction or pawn reality shows, or even worse, all this garbage about the world ending in December 2012.

- Maury: You know, when I was younger the show actually wasn't as unwatchable when there was actually variation and more thought-provoking topics. But now almost every show is WHO'S THE DADDY??! !?? and there is so much cursing and bleeping I can't understand what anyone's saying most of the time.

-Jerry Springer: OH PLEASE TELL me why this is STILL on the air?!? I am afraid if I watch it for more than a minute my IQ will rapidly decrease and I might turn into a hillbilly with no teeth!

-Judge Judy: The lady's a psycho, really. Although it IS enjoyable to see brain-dead, drug-addicted, obnoxious people get served by justice I am tired of JJ screaming and yelling and "UM IS NOT AN ANSWER!! !" Actually, I like other Judge shows where they are more low-key, like Joe Brown. But I hate People's Court. It seems people only watch the show because the lady judge is "hot" and occasionally speaks a Latin language, and I HAAATE the sneery-sounding announcer's voice.

Whew! I guess that's it (for now). Unless of course they stop making new shows and ads that aren't terrible. BWA HA HA LOLOLOL!! !

I love the medicine ads on TV where they say, "If you experience side effects such as a stroke or death, call this number." WTF?

They had this dumb ad for a product that was suppose to cure ringing of the ears and the product was called Quietus,o.k., That's from a D.H.Lawrence poem called Ship Of Death and it means suicide(also it's the suicide kit in the great movie Children of Men).Sure that annoying ringing has stopped now.And the ads for a video game called Kid Icarus,it shows the kid flying right at Cerebrus who is belching flames out of his three heads.Why does he not remember his wings are held together with wax?Then he flies right at Medusa and she looks right at him and he should turn to stone but no he flies off on his merry way.
Don't even get me started on Springer,Jersey Shore,or Keeping up with the Kardashians.
I thought at first it was Keeping up with the Kardasians and it had something to do with Gul De Kat(spelled wrong) from Star Trek and I was very disappointed.

Kid Icarus isn't about Icarus. It's about a guy with real wings named Pit. I don't know why they call it that.

And I like pawn stars.

This ad is absolutely genuine believe it or not.

My sister is obsessed with "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." I watched once for about thirty seconds just to see what all the fuss was about, and I seriously think it resulted in brain damage.

There's a blog that I found devoted to bad ads. It's called "Who Are the Ad Wizards Who Came Up With That One?" Be warned, it contains quite a bit of NSFW language; nonetheless, it's a funny look at bad ads.

"The Talk" is my pick for Terrible TV show. My mom leaves it on sometimes after her soap-opera ends. Women suddenly start talking loud & screaming because they get excited about stuff or something. Mom had it on a few days ago when I was in the kitchen eating & they were talking about how Kristian Stweart & that guy for the Twilight movies were rumored to be getting back together after they broke up because he cheated on her, then they were talking about how Miley Cyrus stole Pink(I think it may of been Pink but I could be wrong) style,then they had Elmo from Seasme Street on. I never had the urge to smash a TV so bad before in my life

I have noticed that they've started airing ads that are essentially info-commercials that seem to last 5-10 minutes before heading back to the actual program. It is no wonder that I've given up TV except for sports. I couldn't name and describe the subject matter of more than a couple of shows currently being broadcast.

Do you guys (American and Canadians) have the Go Compare! adverts over there? They are awful. Although, the one where he gets blown up was pretty funny.

Jerry Springer is awful. I caught the start of it and was think "why, oh why do people go on to these shows?"
