SAVED BY ZERO! SAVED BY ZERO! SAVED BY ZERO!

ugggh

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

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.

miss u bob seger!

oh shit, it;s actually a song. fuck. i wonder if the original sucks or whether it's just the cover and the way it it has been used on teh commercial that makes it so soul destroying.

i want leonard cohen to cover this is our country

YOU make the call:

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.

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.

yeah well i hate zeroes and cars!!

Saaaaaaaaaaaved Byyyyyyy Zeeeeeeeeer-O!

LOOOOOOOL i can't believe i missed this poll. my boyfriend and can't take this commercial it's too good

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

someone needs to invent adblock plus for the teevee.

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.

why is your dad advocating for the fixx?

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."

tivo, dude. tivo.

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.

so, in fact, he WAS saved by zero!

AMAZING!

The guy responsible for the Saved by Zero campaign needs to be killed.

btw, this thread has succeeded where that fucking ad has failed.

jesus, guys...kill me.

pepsi/nfl/will.i.am "forever young" spot making me miss "saved by zero" tbh

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.

SAVED BY ZERO!!!

Five! Five Dollar! Five dollar FOOTLOOOONG!

amirite!?

I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight, LIKE CHICKEN TONIGHT!!

Like a rock! Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa like a rock!

well, that's all the songs

all the ones that matter.

Wait, wait.

Inna-godda-da-vida-hon-ey!

DOO DOO, DO DO DO DOO, DOOO-DOOO-DOOO-DO!

Ok, now I'm done.

Some really intense songs out there

You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day

(over shots of fantasy football dudes bemoaning their bad performances)

guys who knows what in-commercial song will make people feel murderous THIS year? field is WIDE OPEN.

im unironically enjoying the 'i cut the sleeves off cuz it looks cool!' ad, whatever its for

yeah i enjoyed that.

wait, what about the version of everyday's like sunday that sounds like hootie and the blowfish?

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

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

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

is the grooler (grill + cooler) a real thing?

btw Bud Lite is apparently REALLY INTO this tee hee giggle in the can line: http://www.queerty.com/beer-companies-always-go-for-the-butt-sex-jokes-dont-they-20090911/

no contenders came out of week 1 btw imo--those tailgate commercials are annoying but no song

y must i hate everything
