(...) Lots and lots to be sure. I have seen that one advert where the young lady sits on a block or something with the voice-over saying "I am part of a disturbing trend..."

(...) You regularly sleep with the TV on? That's bad! It mostly isn't worth watching while you're awake. Why let it disturb your beauty sleep? (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

  Re: You know what annoys me?
 
(...) I'm with you there. I also hate when a commercial uses an annoying sound effect to grab your attention, such as a ringing phone or an alarm.

I can't stand it when a commercial character eats a piece of candy or something and their eyes bug out, steam comes out of their ears, or their head turns into a piece of fruit. (...)

(...) Not if the goal is to sell product. I never buy whatever product that Snuggles bear represents. As far as branding goes I guess they can think of themselves as having successfully made me remember a product I never buy. Weeee! -- Hop-Frog (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
