OT: Worst Commerical On TV

SportsWorld · Post #1 » by **SportsWorld** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 6:07 pm

Has anyone seen this US Cellular ad where the girl goes off to college and leaves her illiterate dad behind? The dad brings his mail into the US Cellular store everyday so the US Cellular employees can help him read his mail.
What a stupid commercial. I am not going to buy a US Cellular phone because their workers supposedly read illiterate people's mail. That has to be the worse commercial on TV today even worse than that stupid overplayed Kia ad.
Please tell me I am not the only one that feels this way about this stupid commercial.

Both of those are stupid.

Even though I didn't like that commercial about US Cellular, I did like that Girl though. She is sweet.

I hate that commercial that has the old lady talking about how much she love her pets. It's for some pet medication website. Like petsmart.com or something like that, they play it all the time.

That thing annoys the **** out of me.

I hate all commercials. But the ones I hate most nowaways are the ones for ED drugs, the Kia commercial with the stupid dancing salesman and anything with Dwyane Wade in it

the guy driving his car to "rock me gently" and all the stupid singing animals.

Just the thought of it.... ewe

I agree about that one waffle.

1) The song sucks.

2) They don't even have a good harmony when singing the song.

3) The commercial makes no sense and hits on no imaginable theme.

I actually like the Kia commercial, I guess that because I'm from Britain and the only time I see U.S commercials is when I am watching a bulls game. No doubt I would be sick to the stomach from the result of watching it multiple times throughout the day though.

My favorite is the poorly acted Giordano's commercial. Every time, I think it's about a sleezy love hotel, and then the limo pulls up to a pizza place.

"Why does it taste so good?"

Close up on Tony's face, or whatever his name is...

"It's the fresh ingredients." (creepy smile)

That Giordano's commercial is awful, but I would put commercials for small time local places in a different light than national commercials made with 10x the budget.

The guy driving and singing with animals is BAD.

But I think the Bulls "where amazing happens" commercial takes the cake since it's false advertising.
