Commercial Critic 2

I would like to continue with my commercial raves and rants. So I'm making a couple more categories.

Stupid commercials

Some commercials seem very stupid. LIke the ones with the guy on a tree branch jumping up and down until it falls on a car. I mean yeah, it does make a point, But it's still stupid. And I know these commercials don't air any more but the ones where they showed the cellphone bars in everyday items, like a stack of papers, or a bunch of buildings in a row or some other things. Some of them I never got, but then they would only show it for a few seconds at the most, so you had to have a fast eye.

Sad commercials

I know you aren't going to believe it, but there was a commercial that would make me cry when I saw it. It was one where the pregnant woman asks her husband to go get her some ice cream and so he grabs his keys and gets in his car, he backs out into the road and wham! A car comes around the corner and hits him! The message was to fasten your seat belt every time you get in your car, no matter how short the drive is going to be. I just thought it was so sad that this man got hurt or killed and his wife was about ready to have a baby.

Creepy Commercials

Burger King tops the list on this one. What is up with the creepy king outfit? I recently heard that BK was almost bankrupt, it's not a wonder with their stupid/creepy commercials! I wasn't sure if I should put these commercials in the stupid category or that it deserved it's own category. But since there are several of them out there, I opted for the category of it's own.

I'm sure I can think of some more categories for commercials, just give me a day or two.
