The ads for Navage. The nose flushing device. :barf

Consolidated Credit

If the high-pitching squealing 'jingle' of some unintelligible language doesn't hook ya, the painfully slo-mo dipshit dancing of the 'actor portrayals' certainly will. The above is only one example.

Everyone in the chain - sleazy company, spot producer, TV station airing the ads (often back-to-back) - should be required to sit in a room where this is the only thing they see and hear for a day. If they last that long.

The ones that give the 1-800 number four times, fast, in a high-pitched voice.

The ad for this year's fireworks show in downtown Detroit. It ends with a big QR code in the middle of the screen.

First ResponsepPregancy test. It promises results six days sooner.

Isn't pregnancy kind of a lifetime comittment? What differenc does six days make?

Good point TT. I also think the financial institution advertising the "get your paycheck 2 days early" as an incentive is somewhat ridiculous.

In light of the very brief window in which some states are permitting abortion, maybe six days could be crucial. Will those same states will outlaw the sale of products like this?

  • Any of Brewbakers of Onaway's ads, ever... VO talent yellin' & pukin' all the way.
  • Something called ASADeals - where the ditz hawking an overpriced electronic 'finder' device starts by stating she spends 3 hours a day looking for her keys & her phone, and by the end of the pitch, states it saves her 6 hours a day.
