Zimbra Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I have extremely negative feelings about LG using an Ol Dirty Bastard song to sell washers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coletti Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Some car brand using DJ Shadow's "Nobody Speak" ft Run The Jewels is great since the first line, via El-P is, "Picture this: I'm a bag of dicks." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Ok, the Nordstrom "How Sweet It Is" spot needs to go away forever. Marvin must be spinning in his grave as this fucker plays 50 times a day here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Any and every commercial that uses that schmaltzy "gonna make this place your home" song can fuck right off. When I was growing up, some bands looked for "crossover" appeal, defined as "your stuff will be played on genre stations AND top 40!" Now "crossover" means "your stuff will get played in TV commercials!" It feels like a lot of artists and bands are just glorified jingle writers, creating music aimed specifically at getting ad play instead of creating art. Imagine Dragons, I'm looking t you. A few years back, there was a group called Capitol Cities who had that big crossover song "Safe and Sound." I read that these guys actually were ad agency folks who formed a band. That really says something about the state of the music industry when bands are writing jingles and jingle writers are forming bands. Nice Venn diagram, there.

"The song was also used in a German Vodafone commercial,[10] in a television commercial in the United States and Canada for the 2014 Mazda 3, and in an Air New Zealand in-flight safety video.[11] The song "Center Stage" was featured on ESPN's First Take where they played a short segment of the retro sounding track before going to commercial breaks." If that was there intent, it worked for at least one album cycle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) The new Match.com commercial with Satan from Legend hooking up with a chick is surreal. I guess that is Ryan Reynolds under the (painfully heavy) makeup. Curry sure wouldn't have done it again. EDIT: And apparently they made more than one of them Edited January 2, 2021 by Curt McGirt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 New Nyquil commercial has husband in bed with angry wife appearing to bug her for sex before he produces a bottle of Nyquil from behind with a grin. The sound was off so I just flashbacked to my teenage years and said out loud "hey baby, let's split this" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I think the biggest thing annoys me about he insurance commercial with people driving with stuff on top of their car is not only the awful music that is being played but my parents constantly having to tell me that there is no way that you can drive with a fishbowl on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Is there any "brand" (AKA corporation) that has any more irritating commercials than Old Navy? Every time I see one I feel the urge to kill. Surely there has to be something worse from the past? Or not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
