Revenge of the commercials you're currently hating

This new Ruby Tuesday ad, with an adorable Dakota Johnson lookalike in dismal "mom" jeans and sneakers, rapping about salad bar ingredients. Just in time for the new Fifty Shade movie, I guess. Played on CNN every 5 minutes. Kill me now.

The millennial "you don't just make a san'which / graduate from medical school" precious asshole deserves recognition. She also voices some disease cure ad, Alzheimer's, I think. Same wide-eyed, snowflake rebuke in her voice.

Viagra ads featuring sexy, alluring women in their mid-thirties among luxury resort/condo surroundings. Obviously Viagra is so men over fifty can get it up for an expensive younger whore, not their wife or any women their own age.

Nicole Kidman shilling for Neutrogena Regenerist skin cream -- it is so obvious that camera magic has blurred every line and pore off of her face. It's the 21st century version of putting Vaseline on the camera lens - they just do it with CGI. These companies piss me off - If your product is so great, show her real face. The same goes for Cover Girl, who uses Ellen DeGeneres and Kristen Bell and both of their faces get the blur treatment.

The ad for Sour Patch Kids that show a girl sneaking into her kitchen after returning late from a date; she's dressed in a camisole and miniskirt. The ad shows two animated SPK using air horns to alert the parents that the girl just made it home. The girl tries to shush them. Another set of SPK push a long shirt across the kitchen table, so the girl can cover her skimpy outfit, which she thanks them for. The voice-over says "they start out sour, but end up sweet".

I don't hate it, just think its very lame -- gummy candies that are overly involved in the social lives of humans. Then the humans eat them.

Any commercial with misbehaving bratty kids. These seem to be the current rage. The worst offenders right now are the ones with young siblings delightfully wrecking the bathroom, smearing every lotion and potion, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. over every surface giggling as they blissfully create hours worth of clean up.

The parents quietly pee their pants with delight as they secretly film their spawn, just knowing their video will go viral.

At 20,000 hits they blissfully clean up the mess in jiff with whatever product is being marketed.

R52, your post reminded me of the Breyer's Vienetta commercial from the early-mid-90s. I didn't hate it, so it's probably a bit off topic for this thread, but what was up with their emphasis of the serving spatula's clinking sound as it hit the tray it was sitting on? Cluh-CLINK.

And there was a previous commercial (you can find it among the 'similar' videos at this link) under a different company name, where their emphasis was on the sound of the spatula cutting through the many solid layers in the Vienetta.

Did it work on you, like it worked on me?
