Radio Commercial For ComEd -- Father and Son cleaning out the garage. Son says let's start with this old fridge... Dad says, what are you talking about. Son says ComEd will haul it away and give us 50 bucks. Dad says you keep the 50 bucks and clean out the rest of the garage. So why would you suggest starting with something that you know has to be scheduled to be picked up? Is this like a con job from the kid planning on getting the 50 bucks locked up?

Radio Commercial for Vein Centers of America -- The paid voice lady (not an actual patient) says that her legs were feeling tired and she was over 40 so it is "par for the course, right?" Then she talks about Vein Center Clinics and how they can test for vein issues, and she took the test, and she had issues. Then she says the treatment was easy and she feels better and she can wear skirts and shorts again because her vericose veins don't show. Well, if you can see the veins in your legs, you don't really need a test for that, do you? You are embarrased to wear skirts and shorts but you don't know if you have vein disease? C'mon lady.

TV Commercial for Miller Lite -- This skateboarding guy gets a 12er and starts skating through the city, then gets on the L and goes to some party. The only problem is that when he gets this 12 pack it looks like it is 2PM out with sun shining brightly... he travels everywhere with the sun out, and then as he approaches the party, it looks like it is 7PM out. So the presumably cold beer has been sitting out for 5 hours now. Which may explain why some lady gives him a beer when he shows up instead of one he brought, but he is no hurry to get his beers into some sort of cooling agent. Hold True to common sense.

doritos still running the "fetch" commercial, sometimes every commercial break, is like an insanity test.

Draft Kings, sick of those already. The one with the large bearded white guy is particularly annoying.

I don't know if this has come up before, but I had the misfortune of not being able to sleep around 3:30-4 am & turned on the Score. Every break the damn Parkins' themed Sportclips commercial was played. Ordinarily I don't pay attention as they aren't targeted at me and are so bland. But upon hearing it for the fourth time, I couldn't help but wonder who would randomly go to a variety of chain barber shops to get a basic cut & on the recommendation of a guy whose general appearance screams dork? And what ad firm thinks it's a good idea to play the same commercial in such heavy rotation?

Well, spots that run overnight are usually just bonuses getting burned off. But I agree with you: Parkins shouldn't be endorsing anything that's, uh, aesthetic.

Vaping commercials running rampant on the Score under the guise of PSAs about the dangers of vaping for kids. Clever little end-run around banning cigarette commercials.

There is a new iPhone commercial with two girls talking to each other. I think they're supposed to be annoying, but they did too good of a job at making them so.

AM1000 has been playing a LOT of Jurko commercials for John Cicco Menswear, It's Just Lunch, and Blue Chew boner pills. All of them are an immediate PTFB. It's almost like the people at John Cicco don't want anyone to listen to their commercials all they way through.

It's funny, I think cigarette companies were criticized similarly for running anti-smoking commercials after research showed people actually took up smoking and/or smoked more after being told not to (due to some kind of psychological phenomenon).

I like the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab commercial that says they'll treat you with all the newest forms of SCIENCE, like biomedical engineering and avatars. I know what they mean, but I still think to myself "my avatars are helping stroke victims? cool!"


Are they affiliated with the Marines? They do an "OOH-RAH" at the end of their commercial which I thought was a Marines thing.

Not to my knowledge. They just use the theme from Patton because the implication is that they're going to go to war with spinal cord injuries as if they're Patton. It all has a weird written-by-committee feel, because a lot of the copy is obviously written by I-fucking-love-science millennials who have the tic of using the mere word "science" as the ultimate trump card of logic and reason. But it doesn't really work for a hospital, because when they say, like, "we're going to conquer brain injuries with a little thing you may have heard of called SCIENCE," well, you're a hospital, you'd pretty well better use science! Don't they all? I don't think NorthShore uses witchcraft. But how many of said millennials really like the film Patton, count on listeners to recognize it as such, and would also favor comparing spinal-cord rehabilitation to fighting World War II? It's a weird series, but my favorite is still the one where the announcer says "Hey. Stroke" so as to talk shit to a blood clot in the brain, but really just sounds like he's calling the listener a jerkoff.


UPDATE: This commercial is now running on WFMT, but pursuant to FMT's no-outside-spots policy, it's just Lisa Flynn or someone dryly reading the copy.

I've been hearing that for the last several days on WFMT! The first thing I thought of when I heard her say "Hey, stroke..." (hearing that particular copy read dryly is pretty funny) was this thread and your comment about how it sounds like they're calling the listener a jerkoff. :lol:

Even worse than the first Fisher Nuts commercial.

Two more recent ones:

Mully has been doing reads for ATT ("More for your thing...that's our thing"). They really don't make any sense. He talks about how you might use your home internet to work from home or watch sports, but let's be real---everyone already has an internet connection and does those things if they are so inclined.

Allstate has a new "100% Claim Satisfaction Guarantee." One would have to be naive to think that means they will give you everything you are asking for in your claim, but they don't even promise to give you your premiums back. They give you a premium credit upon renewal. So you can't drop them and get your money back.

The State Farm "she shed" commercials, but especially the radio version. Besides being annoying as fuck, let's just put the idea in every wife's head to usurp the last piece of the husband's 5% claim on his own personal space.

There's an AT&T ad running during the Cubs broadcasts that has a teenager asking Dad "Can I play video games on the tablet" to which Dad replies "How about we finish your homework, first" and then the punk says "DAMNNNNNN", to which Dear Ole Dad ought to beat the kid with the tablet until both were broken.

The other commercial, I believe also for AT&T, features a gentleman who talks of his teleconferences from home on his free internet that he conducts while pants-less. I assume the man is spmack.
