Commercials feed us bullshit everyday, but I saw a commercial so outrageous that it almost had nothing to with the product which was a cell phone. Allow me to summarize:

The commercial starts off at the inauguration of 57th president of the United States, because when you think of cell phones, you wonder who will be the president of the United States in half a century. Anyway, the commercial starts moving backward in time through the president's life. We see him go from an adult to child but it doesn't stop there. We go all the way back to present day where we see the president's dad standing outside the train when he sees the president's mom on a train. This where the cell phone comes in and the commercial is already more than half over. Presidential dad uses his phone and buys a ticket on the train so he can meet Presidential mom. The commercial finally shows us the phone and then ends.

If you're still confused, here is the super short version of what the commercial is implying that if you buy our cell phone, you will not only meet your future wife but your child will become the president one day. I have seen commercials where hot women jump guys just because they smell good(body sprays). I have seen commercials where gum gave people the ability to make the best of a worse situation(Mentos). But a commercial that is trying to sell me a cell phone tells me that I will not only meet the love of my life but tells me our child will become a world leader takes the cake. I can't even remember the name of the damn phone because the commercial was so damn ludicrous. It has tried so hard to impress me that it made me forget the name of the product. This commercial is EPIC FAIL. If you can top this example, please do. I can't find the commercial but I assure you it exists and it takes itself absolutely serious. What do you think of this commercial?

The thing is, the commercial stuck with you, so it did it's job.

I can't think of a terrible one.

At least that one made some kind of sense, even if they were just repeating the direction. They mention the product throughout the commercial unlike my example where the product is almost secondary.

There's a bud light commercial where three guys just talk to each other in auto-tune. I hate auto-tune anyways, but it's unbearable when you combine it with a retardly, annoying commercial.

No, the commercial was so ludicrous that I remember the premise but not the product's name. The commercial itself is so extraordinary that the product is almost not as important as what happens after you buy it.

I haven't seen this commercial yet, but it does sound pretty...lacking. I personally don't see the connection between presidency and cell phones. I guess the commercial tried to be powerful and emotional, but fell short of that goal. On a side note, I love the parody of the Snuggie commercial. I've seen it before and it's hilarious, it's totally worth a watch ^~^!

you are insanely foolish and do not understand advertising
I understand reality and the people who came up with this commercial clearly didn't.

I hate the "Dollars for gold commercial", or commercials with awful customer testimonials. Or people who say that they are number one, when EVERYONE ELSE SAYS that they are number one. *I'm looking at you, every single car company out there.*

There can't be five number one saftey rated cars in North America. Four of you are lying...

That's an amazing commercial!

OT - Most commercials are ridiculous or annoying, but that's how they attempt to get it in your head.
