Speaking of commercials that annoy us

[speckledfrog]

I don't like the Audi one where people are freaking out that the lady is putting diesel in her car.  Really, because she's a woman you don't think she knows what kind of gas to put in her car?  If that was a man would people be screaming their faces off and knocking shit over to run out an help him?  I realize I may be putting too much into into it, but it still bugs me.

I thought the same as you. H just rolls his eyes at it.

[LeggsBenedict]

I thought the same thing, especially because the guy yells, "LADY!"

[mskitkat]

I laugh at the diesel commercial only because my BiL put diesel in his car on the way to my wedding. He got stuck in some random state until it could get taken care of. I admit to not really paying attention to the stereotyping.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

One time I was in Philly visiting LTP. And I got lost, and I had to stop for gas, and it was a bad part of town (to my stupid small town eyes, I have no idea really). And some guy came running over to me and I freaked the FUCK OUT but it was because I was about to put diesel in my car.

SO SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

THIS POST IS MAKING ALL THE INSECURITIES I FEEL EVERY TIME I WATCH THAT COMMERCIAL COME TRUEEEEEEEEEEE

There's a Denny's commercial about omelettes and they are trying to make some play on words with omelette and art. So they pronounce it "om-lart" and I think it sounds disgusting. I laugh/grimace every time.

Yep, if this post doesn't sum up everything about me that makes me too immature for life...

Once my kids asked me if we could buy the green gas, and I said SURE! and pulled up and put diesel in my Audi 5000. FUCK.

Holy shit, really?

What happens if you do that?

Really. I had about half a tank, and put in about a quarter of a tank of diesel before I realized what I'd done. I called my brother, a car expert, and asked him what to do and he said to fill it all the rest of the way with regular unleaded, and see what happened. 
Worst case scenario, if I'd filled the entire tank with diesel, I would have had to have the tank drained. What happened was it ran really rough for about 300 miles (diesel will not ignite on spark plugs, and gums them all up). When that tank was all  used up, I got the plugs and fuel filter changed, and put in some engine cleaner, and it was fine. Apparently its not an engine killer. It WILL klll a diesel engine to use regular unleaded in it, though. 

I didn't see the commercial, then realized it was an Audi commercial and you said you had an Audi so I thought you were making a joke.

Glad it didn't ruin your car! I almost used diesel by mistake recently because I wasn't paying attention so was just curious what it would have done. That was close.

Omg, I hate that commercial. 

I don't know if this is a national or regional commericial, but we have an anti-Obamacare commercial that drives me insane.  "It can't be implemented". "Our government is not set up to take care of us".  I don't want my children to be a name or number in a computer".   WHINE.   Shut up!  I can't stand it.

the first two times I saw this, I didn't see the beginning and I couldn't figure out why she was eating her fingernails off. I don't know why they made the paint red.

Omelette du fromage!

[bonquiqui]

Yes, it's horrible

[bonnie]

There is a really long Humira commercial that bugs the shit out of me. The lady is not a good actor and the scenes in the commercial are so contrived. The part that I really get disgusted with is that her and her daughter share toothbrushes with each other. Then she is such a douche when her family is playing soccer.

This is it BTW: www.ispot.tv/ad/7ZDf/humira-at-work

I generally hate commercials that feature one or more women obsessing about clean toilets, clean floors, clean tiles, etc. I especially hate the one where Junior makes a mess, and mom (it's always the mom) is SO happy to clean it up with the sturdier paper towel. Like it's the highlight of her day!

[urbancowgirl]

I hate all of the Wendy's commercials with the sassy "Wendy." Her sing-song voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

[snickers]

I don't usually pay attention to commercials, but I absolutely hate the ones of the abused animals. Those commercials are always so long, and so sad. Also, once they play it on the channel, they seem to play it at every damn commercial break.

It's also impossible.  Recent cars are built with a special plate that prevents anything but an unleaded gas nozzle to fit into the tank.

The entire line of current VW commercials pisses me off for some reason. The ones where VW owners take the dealership guy on the test drive from hell, randomly "kidnap" the employees of a place where they don't work, etc. I think it's because they seem to be insulting their owners: "YAY! The people who buy our cars are self-absorbed, inconsiderate assholes!"

YES- this makes me want to gag.  I have a thing about putting my hands into a chip bag as it is, and this commercial just makes me cringe.

OK, here is mine. I hate any commercial that is for a diet/ low cal food or clothing that is supposed to slenderize a woman and then they use tall, thin model/actors in the commercial. Come on! If you want to show how great a pair of pants will look on a curvier figure, then use a person who has said curves rather than a woman who wears a size 2, maybe 4.
