The Worst of Television: Commercials, Sitcoms, Cartoons...

[Bangel]

Commercials-

Oral-B Brushing Strips Commercial- Who the heck created this stupid commercial? And anyone who sings and dances around just because they can brush their teeth on the go is just an idiot.

Geico Gecko Commercials- You've seen one, you've seen it all.

Television Shows

The Maury Popich Show- Who really gives a crap if Cindy cheats on Bobby with his father? I mean, really- how low can you get?!

All My Children- Same reason as above.

The Days- Why is everyone in this show pregnant?!

That's all that really comes to mind in being absolutely terrible?

That staples commercial with Alice Cooper. He went to the dark side and it was SCHOOLS OUT FOREVER!!!!!!!

Actually it was schools out for summer and school's out forever one comes after the other, and the kid in the commercial is his daughter, so you'd think she'd know anyway.

Big Brother, anyone?

Michelle *shiver* She was so mean to Nadia, pratically rubbing it in her face that she had a boyfriend and Nadia didn't. Ahem....I didn't watch it every night ritually *shifty eyes*

I couldn't sit through the UK Big Brother. It's the fifth one and the series was dull after the first one. They don't know when to call it quits.

What annoys me though, is that the amount of money they get for it, they put almost none of it into the microphones ect. Divina's is always faulty and stuff.

You just mad me realise something. Money is wasted on game shows and reality TV when they could be giving to so SOMEONE WHO NEEDS IT. (Starving kids in Africa come to mind?)

Though perhaps not enough, money is given to them, it just gets lynched by their governments to buy shiny new guns.

Fair enough.

SO WHY DONT WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND THEN SPEND OUR TIME PLAYING REALITY TV STAR!?

Sorry,I'm really touchy on this subject. Most likely so because I sponser a girl who probably lives in a stupid tent with over 5 siblings.

I really hated The Swan and I can't stand Fear Factory.
And there seems to be way too many shows about decorating houses.
I usually Tivo the shows I want to watch so I fast forward the commercials so I don't see to many of them, but what stands out to me are those car insurance ads especially Geiko.

Most of you have probably never seen this, let alone heard of it, but there's this commercial for a cereal called "Sultana Bran" and these annoying kids rip off that old grape-vine song and put a sultana twist on it.

I find that commercials with over-enthusiastic little kids really tick me off the most.

URGH.

"Well, it looks like mama's lost the plot,
What's this cereal she's gone and got?
You know it's pretty yummy am I right
(Yeah, she's right!)
Now we want it day and night,
Don't you know that Sultana's from the grapevine,
Makes Sultana Bran taste so fine,
Sweet juicy Sultana's from the grapevine..."

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me,
You're eating breakfast and it's half past three?
Well we were starving, when we got back,
And Sultana Bran's an awesome snack,
Don't you know that Sultana's from the grapevine,
Makes Sultana Bran taste so fine,
Sweet juicy Sultana's from the grapevine..."

For the benefit of those that don't have those commercials.
I envy those that don't have the sultana bran commercials running.

All barbie adverts and My Scene adverts and Bratz adverts. >.>

[Combusken BG]

Commercials

All Commercials that advertise The Simpsons (whether it games or the TV show)and the Nick channels (I can't stand those channels)


Television Shows
The Simpsons (Just isn't funny to me nowadays)

UK Big Brother (After the first series it went downhill)

[Nessa]

All the commercials on AFN that encourage you to:

stay in school/don't do drugs/don't drink and drive/don't talk to strangers/"head down to your legal office for more information"/don't talk about anything that might be important but doesn't seem important/don't mess around with DoDs compters/update your virus definitions/report causes of fraud, waste and/or abuse/do you get the idea yet?

[Robert]

Commercials:
The McDonalds ones with the kids dancing around, everyone on them tries to hard. I audition for commercials all the time and who ever is casting the McDonalds ones is on drugs or something. Also, does McDonalds really need to advertise, I mean who hasn't heard of McDonalds?

Television Show:
Jerry Springer: Do I really have to explain why?

[Paul]

All adverts that are aired now suck, there seems to be a trend of life insurance, car insurance, money saving plans for elderly people so they when they pass away they can give their kids "a little bit extra," crappy car adverts, remortgage companies, accident compensation lawyers, loan companies etc


I wish they'd all dissapear, and it's just recent, like in the last few months. t's driving me up the wall.


Adverts that really get me:


I think it's the national accident helpline. But anyway, you see this guy on the top of a ladder who's installing a firealarm but he has the wrong type of ladder and the it slips, and you see him fall and you can see his arms get crushed, ew. How are they allowed to air something like that? It's digusting ._.

We had a campaign of similar ads advertizing home safety, one of them involves a guy ontop of a ladder extolling the virtues of his new paint (thus you think its an ad for paint), then his ladder collapses and he falls to the ground and get killed/goes unconscious followed by a 'safety around the house'. There are follow up ads where you think the guy in the shower is advertising shampoo until he slips and dies, and a third one where a guy is advertising something then falls down the stairs...

Does anyone remember Baby Wee Wee?

#Baby wee wee, baby wee wee; he needs a wee!


That. Was. PRICELESS.

[DM was on fire!]

Yugioh.. This has to be the sorriest excuse of an anime I've EVER seen.
I just don't see how anyone can be entertained by that piece of trash. It's like the same thing happens in every episode.
Bad guy comes, good guys have to challenge him. Bad guy has the upper hand and does some super secret move which he has to explain out every single detail about. Good guy panics... *commercial*.. come back.. good guy remembers he ALSO has a super secret special attack which he ALSO has to explain out in detail.
And lame lame lame.. blah blah blah.

It's the closest thing I got to anime. I can't stay up and watch all the good ones.

Worst TV show: Code Lyoko. I hate anime takeoffs (but Teen Titans is another story), and this one, you just don't know what's going on.

[Crescendo]

That toenail ad really, really gets to me. If you've never seen it, here you go. You can get the idea. It's very gross.

Too true, although I hate all anime (sorry to anime lovers, that is just me) but I would watch other things before that. They explain every little thing, over and over and over and over and over....
