Pretentious Crap

[MickeySP]

omg I just cannot stand the Lincoln ads with Matthew McConaughey. Ok some people find him sexy, I just think he needs to be hosed off

Both my DIL & my DS's BFF had Lincolns, they were nothing but money pits. Transmission, brakes, recalls, only MM could afford one.

So Ads you don't like?

That's hilarious! I hate those commercials too. I actually like MM and think Johnny Depp needs a hose down.

I don't like most commercials. They are all stupid. It's probably easier to list the few I like. There is a car commercial, Subaru maybe... with a couple kids and the kids are discussing dad selling the one older car and the kids are just precious and adorable. I also like the car commercial with the little kid who says he's not ready to drive yet. Too cute.

Most medicine commercials suck!!!! The one that is freaking funny to me now is the one that assists with sleeping and says you may do things while you are asleep and not remember doing them. Oh, sign me up for that.

Alright, alright, alright...I love Matthew McConaughey. I haven't owned a Lincoln in years, but mine was a great car

 

[kimblebee]

I hate all car ads that advertise features that beep that let you know when you're too close to another car. That's what you're supposed to be doing..paying attention to the road!!!

They say he is reprising his role from Lincoln Lawyer? I don't know; never saw the movie. I bought a Cadillac in 2011. Never cross-shopped Lincoln. They didn't produce anything even close.

I could totally do without all of the erectile dysfunction drug commercials.

Actually, I could without all medicine commercials (toenail fungus, coughs, indigestion - any of it!) but those in particular annoy me.

Really!!! What's with the tubs in the middle of the field!?! Totally don't get that one!

Nothing will ever rival the feminine products commercials/ads for stupidity. Male enhancement ones come close but no cigar.

 

[fly girl]

Ugh the women talking directly to the camera about erectile dysfunction!


And why, why are they on at a time when kids are watching? Yes, thank you Viagra every parent wants to explain why you need to seek help with an erection lasting more than 4 hours.

 

[jdb in AZ]

My in-laws had a Lincoln. Not something I would choose, but to each their own. The most obnoxious car commercials IMHO are the Toyota commercials with the doofus -- do they really think we'd want to buy a Toyota after seeing such stupidity? Also not a fan of insurance commercials, especially Progressive and Geico. Insert gagging noises here.

And why do Peyton Manning and other jocks have to do such asinine commercials? Don't they make enough money playing ball?

 

[CPanther95]

You're supposed to focus on him so you don't realize you're just buying an overpriced Ford.

 

[PigletsPal2]

I'm an insomniac, so I may see/hear commercials many others might not: " Toyota of Orlando and our new (new? it's at least five years old) Sister Station, Toyota of Clermont." It runs back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back with a Lexus commercial. Wouldn't buy them either. I wouldn't buy a car from either place. Or from those silly girls at Drivetime

This is the exact opposite of pretentious, and maybe not as annoying, I just find it so ridiculous, I can't help but comment every time I see it.

I watch a lot of home improvement shows. On one station they keep advertising for a show about the super-small, micro homes. Homes so small you could use the toilet as a footrest for the couch, and if you sit up in bed at night you would hit your head on the ceiling.
The commercial features a young, attractive couple and states they bought their micro home so they could afford to do the things they love to do.
Then, it shows them canoeing. Seriously, canoeing.
Friend, that's not a mortgage problem, that's an income problem. lol.

DD was 20 when she bought a Lincoln and traded in her Mustang for it. It was an awesome car! We all loved it. As for MM, yeah, I watch the commercials just to see him.

I with the PPs that the erectile dysfunction ads with the women talking to the camera are the worst ads out there. Almost as bad is the car ad with the little dog chasing the car. STOP the car and PICK UP the little dog already!!!

 

[Dawnlight]

I hate that ad, too.

I also really hate the ad for State Farm insurance, the "She sounds hideous" one, where the basic premise is he's cheating and been found out. Yuck.

I saw a sweet commercial last night at the movie theater - it was for gum (Extra?) that showed a man drawing memorable first moments with his girlfriend on the inside of the gum wrapper; it was well done, I thought.

How am I supposed to know what tampons to use if I want to do awesome active things like riding a water slide or playing volleyball???

Doesn't everybody have a tub plumbed in the middle of nowhere?

Oh! I've been viewing them all wrong. I thought it was that you can't do those things without wearing one. So many years wasted.

 

[LukenDC]

I find the Lincoln commercials with Matthew McConaughhey super creepy. He looks so sleazy.

 

[NFLDERS]

Alright, alright, alright...I love Matthew McConaughey. I haven't owned a Lincoln in years, but mine was a great car

^This, he can advertise most anything, and I will not mind!
