Pizza Hut is playing an ad on tv where some dude is so happy because he's getting three pizzas for five bucks each.
I find the ad annoying because the dude thinks he's screwing the delivery guy out of some money.
Who thinks up and approves ads that celebrate screwing people?
not counting the porn industry.

Yoda, I know which one you are talking about but, look at it this way...Customers always want to feel like they have gotten the best deal....better than anyone else...and some even like the thought that they have somehow gotten a deal that no one else was privy too. Obviously Pizza Hut's goal with that ad I think is to make you secretly eat pizza there vs other chains because you will somehow get a better deal that only you will be privy too.
I agree....I hate people like that. I am still fairly new at my job and some customers will try to frazzle me into saying things so, that later on they can say, "Denise told me that I would only have to pay 5.00 not 10...so, I am only going to pay 5 or go somewhere else" so, of course the cust is always right and I get in trouble.....ugh!!!

Why, Smiling Bob does of course! And those commercials went away because it turned out Enzyte was doing all the screwing...
What gets to me is 'morons' in commercials, unless they use "Brand X". Like I want to emulate the folks on Sonic commercials?!?

The ad I find annoying is the Ashley Furniture ad. Why do we care if there are ten girls named Ashley? What does that have to do with the furniture? Nothing in my opinion!

What about those annoying HEAD ON ads, those things drive me crazy. Now they are starting to talk about the format in the ads.
Then there are the GEICO caveman ads, now ABC plans to make a series based on the chracters. Another ABC show I won't watch.

The truly sad part about the Pizza Hut ad is that the Happy man is the one getting screwed. Little Cesar and Papa John's both have $5 LARGE pizzas and you can buy just one (although it's only pepperoni at LC and only on Tuesday from PJ). Pizza Hut is $15 for Three Mediums, any day, any one topping each. So maybe that is a deal. Just not to me.
And I HATE the Sonic commercials. I just want to smack those guys in the head. I don't eat there anymore because of those morons.

Funny...one of my favorite ads is the sonic ad with the husband and wife...I love it !!! I love sonic too!!! I think I go at least twice a week...mainly because it seems to be the only place open after midnight now on Brainerd road.

Heh heh, quiznos has some good sandwiches too... If the food is good, how can commercials change that? Isn't that what really matters? |

I'm old. Some things just annoy me to much.
The semi smart wife with the moron at Sonic grates on my major pet peeve of "Stupid, rude and ugly men can still have smart, intellegent wives" theme.

Scarlett, normally I agree with that...but, this couple sometimes the guy is smart in the add and says something mean to the wife and then the opposite. It reminds me of the comic strip the "Lockhorns"

I dont like to eat at the Sonic near us.
The last time I ate there, the toaster sandwich was so greasy I couldnt eat it. The commerial for Sonic definitely isnt my favorite, but they arent as annoying as the caveman commerials.
One of my favorite commerials that I'll admit to liking is the Geico(sp) commerial with Little Richard in it. Its stupid.. but there is something in the way he looks at the camera at the end that I think is funny.
