every time that ad comes on when i have ppl over for mnf there is a loud, audible, groan of despair.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 31 October 2008 19:36 (seventeen years ago)

i feel like the same warped, twisted mind is behind both those jingles. shit, they aren't even jingles, they're just irritating sung slogans. anyway, the one guy who did these, he is on my list of people i would kill if i knew it could never be traced back to me. in fact, chances are he is the guy behind the freecreditreport.com commercials so is a'ready on the list.

I watch TV all the time and had seen the commercial a billion times and i have NO IDEA why this is a "thing." I honestly have no idea why this is pissing everyone off so much.

Whiney G. Torture Garden (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 31 October 2008 21:30 (seventeen years ago)

I have the five-dollar footlong song in my head all day, but don't mind it because i like the song and like five-dollar footlongs.

Surmounter, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 14:19 (seventeen years ago)

omfg that saved by zero commercial makes me want to throw my tv out the window.

bnw, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 15:56 (seventeen years ago)

someone needs to invent adblock plus for the teevee.

bnw, Tuesday, 4 November 2008 16:00 (seventeen years ago)

My dad keeps telling me to "listen to the original" Saved By Zero and I keep telling him this commercial has given me no reason to even consider doing that.

What's good for Wall Street (call all destroyer), Tuesday, 4 November 2008 16:02 (seventeen years ago)

why is your dad advocating for the fixx?

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 4 November 2008 16:04 (seventeen years ago)

I have no idea. When I was a kid he would make me listen to Band of Gypsies and Led Zep II every Thursday night when my mom was at work. I grow up and move out, he goes through this weird depression phase, and now all he talks about music-wise is mediocre new wave songs.

A year ago we were driving and he was like "have you ever listened to Depeche Mode" and pulled out this CD-R (not saying they're mediocre btw). I was like "Yes Dad. I know about Depeche Mode."

How come my dad never had a new wave phase? I'm jealous.

The director of my department bought a new RAV4 because of these commercials.

j.q higgins, Wednesday, 9 September 2009 20:56 (sixteen years ago)

have we decided this year's new most annoying ad yet? There were no stand-outs this weekend, I feel like.

everyone kills people (the schef (adam schefter ha ha)), Tuesday, 15 September 2009 04:44 (sixteen years ago)

Fuck the tailgate tested ads.
that said, I believe the on-screen note for the "foozy" (giant we're #1 finger with beer coozy) was "one in the hand! one in the can!"
i mean, somebody must've noticed that before it aired, right? That's not a WACKY INTERNET MEME attempt, it's a pretty straightforward pretty gay line

EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I’M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE! (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 15 September 2009 05:57 (sixteen years ago)

it's not like i was LOOKING for that meaning, it jumped out at me when I was watching with the sound off on an elliptical and it seemed egregious
