Ads which make no sense

There are two guys surfcasting on a beach. One suddenly says "Oh!" The other guy then says:

  • "Are you hurt?"
  • "Got a bite?"
  • "Fifteenth letter of the alphabet"
  • "Susannah!"

Now c'mon. If I'm fishing with a buddy and he makes a sound, the first thing I'm gonna say is "Got a bite?" But no, the other guy jumps immediately to the conclusion that his buddy is hurt and offers him some Aleve.

Arrgh.

Hi Linkmeister!

Yeah -- so many commercials are such a stretch. The ones I hate right now are the ones for instant oatmeal -- and they try to sell the convenience of instant oatmeal by showing people dragging hot plates and water on trains, etc.

They are so bad!

But, they must work. Cuz they're are so many bad ones.

:(
