Stupid Commercials!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Name some commercials that you think are so stupid or that don't make sense. One that is really stupid imo, is that Woolite Dark commercial where the one actress stars in a major film and gets a major award because her clothes are dark. The show provides the costumes and so does the movie, and if being a good actor had to do with how dark your black clothes looked then we'd all be famous.

1) I dunno the name of the product, but it's an at-home pregnancy test. "I can't concentrate; maybe I'm pregnant." Or some such ridiculous wording. Uh... since when does lack of concentration automatically make someone think about possible pregnancy? Hmm... never happened to me.

2) Some of the cotton commercials: lots of film used to show who knows what, and at the end something like "Cotton, the fabric of our lives." The problem is that while seeing all of the preceding film, cotton does not enter the mind at all. I suppose it's in there, but it's not noticeable.

roflmao- I know what you mean about that commericial. It is ridiculous wording.

I hate those Joe Boxer commericials.

Another thing with those cotton commercials is that aren't most clothes made of cotton? so why should they advertise at all?

I have to say Britney Spears 50's style Pepsi commericial is pretty stupid, Bugt I love it soooooo........ lol

Crimson and Clover · 09-04-2002, 04:06 PM

that Woolite commercial bugs me too. yeah that ept pregnancy commercial is stupid also.

Brian Damage · 09-04-2002, 04:07 PM

Any Calvin Klein perfume commercial. They're done in black and white and make absolutely no sense! For instance, you have the narrator whispering about nonsense, while some guy stands on a beach doing nothing but staring! What the hell is that?!?

Moonlight Lady · 09-04-2002, 04:44 PM

Commercials for Viagara or similar drugs. They show senior citizens walking down a beach or all cuddly. I know they have needs too, however, I don't need to know about them.

the i zone fortune fim commercial! when that girl gets the fortune she looks like a damn ******** pigeon, and the music is all dumb and so is her friend who is an ugly bitch just like the rest of those idiots in that commercial...

*Marilyn Monroe* · 09-04-2002, 05:14 PM

The "gotta go gotta go gotta go right now" commercial. If you have a bladder problem, why would you call some stranger on TV if you could just talk to your doctor??
