The “Grown Men Crying” Jack in the Box commercial makes me want to go get a baby and listen to it cry over that commerical. Its quite possibly the worst and most annoying commercial since the “1-2-3-4″ Ipod commerical.

Isn’t the point of advertising to create buzz? Negative or positive? Isn’t Drew in advertising? Wonder what his take on this add is. Seems to be getting a lot of attention in the press. Maybe its working in a strange, incredibly annoying way.
Go Browns and my lady Brady!

I believe the guy selling the Sham Wow shit got the job because he was the top money taker at all of the traveling fairs in the United States. Dude probably started out at the game where you have to catapult the frogs on the lilly pads, got promoted to the ping pong ball in the fish bowl, then moved on to shoot the star out with the BB gun, and eventually landed the gig where you throw the darts at the balloon. And this all happened in just 7 short hours.
As for saved by zero, I thought that was an ad talking about how the Jaguars would roll through the last 2 weeks and the week coming up against these teams with zero wins thus far and jump to the top of the standings from their previous position of mediocrity. What the fuck was I thinking? I’ll pay more attention from here on out!

BTW, someone thought there were no Yaris pix in the Saved by Zero ad. I can say, as I perused KSK and watched my Wed. night cop shows, I saw the muted version. Second car zipping is a Yaris, but does not appear again. Apparently doesn’t need double pump.
At the NYS Fair this year, there were a lot of NYS versions of Tawmmy from Quinzee lugging multiple ShamWOW! towels around. Saved them the shipping and handling! Also had something to slop up the beer and blood later on the midway I am sure.

Saved by Zero is just annoying. I hate the “I’m a Mac” commericals even more, but it’s an intelligent hatred.

I agree with everyone, but still it’s not as annoying as that DirecTV ad that got played all the time during the World Series.

If you’re going to use a Fixx song in a commercial (don’t by the way) use “One Thing Leads to Another” and be done with it. Oh, and jump off a water tower to your death, as you are in advertising.

Saved by 0 was pretty horrendous on its own but the repetitiveness made me contemplate violence to others. No where near as bad as the VW add that they played non-stop during the final 4 last march where the guys sets the car alarm off. Hey you know what people love to hear, over and over again, Car alarms!- fucking assholes.
My question is this. According to my friends who work in the advertising “biz,” the creative side of most companies is the hardest to break into, and only take the top talent. If thats true, why are 99.95% of all tv commercials fucking terrible and annoying as hell. I’d be so shittcanned from my job if I turned out the financial equivalent of the drivel that gets aired between football games on sundays.
Please to explain.

Ape, I agree on the sentiment. Really, I do. But the first thing that went through my mind was that something had happened to Rongrastname. I know I should have looked at the tag, but I clicked on the link, terrified of something bad happening to him.

And I think McCain might’ve won if his commercials had just been POW pictures with “Broken Wings” playing in the background. “Baby…it’s all I know…that I can’t lift my arms…or bend my elbow-whoa.”

What about the fucking Shamwow commercial with that Crack head dude that says “Its made in Germany, so you know the German’s always make good stuff…” You know what the German’s made, the holocaust. And fuck the Shamwow it could never get that soda up from under the fucking carpet no fucking way.

Can’t wait for the new “Secret Separation” women’s deoderant commercial.
I still hate the OxyClean guy more. Much more. And those 20-something hipster douchebags on the credit score spots, they can die in a fire, too.

Luckily, my brain has developed, on it’s own, the ability to completely tune out shitty commercials, annoying jingles, assholes, etc. Last year for example, I didn’t see one Dane Cook baseball commercial. That’s right, completely blocked it out. This year, saved by zero, never heard of it. It could be early alzhiemers, but I don’t think so. I think it’s from years of practice tuning out my ex.

I wholly disagree. While I think that the J In The B commercials are generally funny, and that the grown men crying one is pretty awful… “Saved by zeeerrroooooo” makes me want to go blind with rage and club a few thousand baby seals.

Out here on the west coast we have a commercial much, much worse – the Jack In The Box ‘grown men crying in a baby carriage commercial.’
Has us changing the channel much quicker than the subliminal ‘all hope is gone’ Saved By Zero commercial.
