Anyone else hate commercials? - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I hate commercial. I got a TIVO My son got me one shortly after they came out. I would only watch movies before that. They waste my time just like the one on the phone. I am so glad we got rid of most of them. I had a commercial at my door yesterday. There is some commercial that my 2 year old granddaughter likes that has a Yorkie in. It has other dogs too. If she sees me flip thru it we have to play it over and over again while she points and says "Ayrwen".

I like the HP Photosmart Printer commercials. They are the ones with the guy and he takes these white frames and they turn into pictures, etc. It's hard to explain, but the commercials are really cool! The music in he background of the commercial is "Out of the Picture" It always gets stuck in my head!

Yeah, Stephanie, that HP commercial intrigues me cause I can't figure out how on earth they do that!! And that little guy on there is kinda geeky cute!

I know what you mean. That's why I love those commercials! I watch them and I cannot figure out how they make them.

Do you remember the old snikers commercial from like th 90's.. My sister and I used to sing the song... "There's a hunger inside you, that wont go away, theres a hunger inside you, theres a hunger inside me".. That always cracked us up.. I love all the mentos commericals and also the frosted flakes commerical "SHow 'em your a tiger, show 'em what you can do, the taste of tony's frosted flakes bring out the tiger in you" These are just some of the older commercials my sister and i would sing

iheartyorkies · 07-03-2005, 06:53 PM

Ok Brooke, now I really really want frosted flakes!! LOL! I have had the munchies all day! I'm gonna have to find something crunchy to eat. See!! Those commercials really work I guess!!

bkessler · 07-03-2005, 07:30 PM

Come to my house.. I have a huge bag of frosted flakes (like from Costco!!) Enjoy and happy 4th of July!!

I hate local cheezy commercials for pest control or lawyers. Or used car dealerships! But I Love the funny beer commercials or Sonics new ones. I am one of those people that only watch the superbowl for its funny commercials

iheartyorkies · 07-05-2005, 04:35 AM

Yeah, I watch the superbowl for the commercials too...or the wardrobe "malfunctions" (yeah right!). I do like the Sonic commercials. With that couple in the car?? They're kinda "off" in a funny way.

Julie1 · 07-05-2005, 05:08 AM

Wait till you get the crazy frog ring tone ads - now they really do drive a person mad

iheartyorkies · 07-05-2005, 08:46 AM

I haven't seen the ring tone ads. Oh gee, something to look forward to. Do you guys get those cheesy Sylvan Learning Center commercials? With that music?? My son torments my daughter and turns the volume up when those come on cause he knows she hates them so bad!! That's a brother for ya!

Midge5353 · 07-05-2005, 04:16 PM

I thought of another commercial that I love! It is so funny! It is for something at DairyQueen.

This guy is staring through a magnifying glass at this bee. The guy goes "Buzz buzz" There is a guy sitting next to him eating this DQ thing and he is like "What are you doing?" The bee guy goes "I taught myself how to speak bee!" The guy with DQ thing goes "What good is that for?" The bee guy goes "Buzz Buzz Buzz" Then the bee flies over and stings the DQ guy in the neck. The bee guy picks up the DQ thing and eats it. It is so funny! If you haven't seen it yet, you HAVE to see it!

It makes me laugh every time!

Oh and I was wrong. That commercial with all the puppies in it (bulldogs, basset hounds, Yorkies) isn't for Purina puppy chow. It's for Pedigree puppy chow. LOL

LOL! I totally agree. I like those HP commercials. And that water commercials when the people dress up as animals and then advertise some water company. I love that commercial when that guys is the RubberBand Man. He likes rubberbands and advertise a office supply company.
