I hate commercials.


  • The Taco Bell commercial has guy and girl walking down the street while he eats something that you dip.  From Taco Bell.  Her dad walks up, and she introduces him as her new boyfriend.  The guy then hugs the dad and kisses him because he can't use his hands due to the dippable food.
    • This is stupid, because in any normal situation, the dad would recognize that the guy's hands are full, and this wouldn't be a thing at all.  Even if he did put his hand out, couldn't the food guy just say something like, "sorry, my hands are full of food."
  • Apple wants everyone to know that their new payment thing is so fast, you'll get home in time for your surprise birthday party earlier than the surprise planners had planned.  
    • First, does anyone do surprise parties outside of television shows?  Second, when I go shopping, the payment part of the transaction is a vanishingly small fraction of the total time spent.  Cutting that in (let's say) half is going to save me all of ten seconds.  Therefore, fuck you and your shitty marketing team, Apple.
  • Every car commercial trying to sell a car as an appropriate Christmas gift.  More specifically, the commercial in which a kid calls Santa via skype, and asks for a truck.
    • That kid can't drive.  Plus, he's going to ask for a boat for next year?  Boats are terrible investments.
  • McDonalds wants everyone to ask them questions about their food to reassure them that "all beef" means "only contains beef."
    • You have a bigger problem than you think, McDonalds, and this isn't going to fix it.
  • This commercial just suggested that "the perfect gift" is the TMNT movie on blu-ray.
    • This is just a straight up lie.
