Annoying Commercials 2: Searching for the MUTE button

Re: Annoying Commercials 2: Searching for the MUTE button

I would say that I think it's time for FCA (or, as my dad calls it, "F'in Chrysler, America!" :D) to retire the "Imported from Detroit" nonsense, but I see their sales are up almost 6% in the first quarter. So maybe these obnoxious ads with the foreign-accented actors are actually working for them.

I think it started as "Imported from Detroit," but then was changed to America after they realized that Detroit doesn't even carry the swagger of Gary, IN.

I know this is titled "Annoying Commercials" but one of my favorite current commercials is the United Healthcare commercial when the couple tries to do the Dirty Dancing lift.

I think I recognize her from the Geico "auctioneers make bad grocery store cashiers" commercial.

Reviving the thread to say that my current faves are the Duluth Trading spots. :D

On the new Red Lobster commercial I keep hearing, "Crap like no one is watching" instead of crack for their crab fest. Though I feel they're interchangeable when Red Lobster is the subject.

Anything to do with "start seeing motorcycles" or being safe around bicyclists. When people on motorcycles and bicycles are the most unsafe dinguses on the road.

I want to punch the new Colonel Sanders right in his phony Goatee. Annoying and lame, lame,lame.

It's like they're unsure if they want it to be a real impersonation or a satirical impersonation.
 
Re: Annoying Commercials 2: Searching for the MUTE button

Either way, it doesn't work for me. Don't understand why they thought it was necessary to resurrect the Colonel at all.

Totally agree - it's terrible. I always imagined the Colonel with a genteel, sophisticated Southern accent, not...well, whatever it is that Hammond is doing.

I wouldn't doubt that there's a canned version of a genuine Colonel Sanders (What are you, chicken?) commercial with a genuine Kentucky accent, but they made a last-minute change once the murders in South Carolina and subsequent Confederate Battle flag protests began. There's an anti-South sentiment running rampant in the country, and the company may go back to distancing itself from its Kentucky roots.
