What current ad campaign makes you contemplate homicide?

[shmenguin]

Upon further review, freecreditreport.com and freecreditscore.com are both run by the same company. FreeCreditScore.com and FreeCreditReport.com are websites owned by Experian Consumer Direct, a subsidiary of the credit bureau Experian. The sites offer users their personal credit reports from Experian on the condition that they sign up for Experian's Triple Advantage credit monitoring program for a fee.

In October 2007, Experian Consumer Direct began airing an advertising campaign featuring singer Eric Violette as a man struggling with difficult life circumstances due to his poor credit score, and his ignorance of it. The commercials feature jingles written using various distinctive forms of popular music. To date the company has aired nine different commercials, which have aired in different orders in different markets. The commercials featuring Violette and his band stopped airing in February 2010 to focus advertising on FreeCreditScore.com and a new band.

In May 2010 a nationwide band search began to find the new face of freecreditscore.com. Live auditions were held in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Bands could also submit videos of themselves online at freecreditscoreband.com for consideration. Many were typical entries, but some bands, apparently as a joke, submiat tting videos as well, most notably Comparative Anatomy (band). In August 2010 The Victorious Secrets were named the new FCS Band.

in that case, it's not that annoying. i thought they were just shamefully stealing from the original

Not sure why but I'm less annoyed by the kid that was in the first band. He couldn't speak English, so they had him lip sync every commercial.

We buy any car .co .uk just doesn't have the same swagger.

[Froggy]

Wait wait wait... Back this up a second. The name of the free credit score band is "The Victorious Secrets"? Ugh.

Local sleep apnea commercial that's on every break during Pens games.

Prius hatchback "come along" song commercial and also that Special K one with the women on the scale.

[PghSkins]

Not really related: I am so jacked for the Ferris Bueller commercial that it is almost certain to fall into this category.

Supposedly the PA Lottery has hired a new ad agency. Nothing definitive yet, but they may elect to end the "Gus the Groundhog" campaign. I suppose they could also elect to kill off the aforementioned holiday season ad that's been running for the last 20 years.

This one has bothered me for at least a full hockey season, so I may have missed this earlier in the thread - who is the actor/comedian appearing with Hines Ward in the Baierl Automotive ads? Not funny. Really not funny.

gus the groundhog is horrifying. he's not annoying, he just makes me think of what the gatekeeper to hell must look like.

Too lazy to bring up the youtube page, but he is listed as being the director of the commercial as well as the "star"

[LeopardLetang]

i know i just mentioned it a few pages ago but i honestly cannot watch that dude on the skoreit commercials. no matter how lazy on the couch i'm feeling i'll leap to the remote with gusto to get that loser off my screen.

[the wicked child]

There's yet another screaming Geico pig commerical?! **** you, Geico. **** you.

[Rylan]

There's yet another screaming Geico pig commerical?! **** you, Geico. **** you.

I was hoping he got killed for Christmas/New Years.

(also why is ham generally the meal for Easter and Christmas, is this a subliminal F-U to Jewish people?

Take that crap to the "What current ad campaign makes you want to donate your organs to save the people who have been hospitalized due to commercial rage?" Thread

Uncle Charlie's Sausage. It just tastes better! I every time I hear that.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

Kids love Uncle Charlie's Sausage.

[Mango Salsa]

Astonishing that no red flags went up when they were writing the ad copy for that. Seriously, no one saw a problem with that?!

[Mango Salsa]

Add the S&T Bank ad they play over & over during the Pens radio broadcasts to my list. Hello friends here's an app you'll be needin' come on get appy! Then they start whistling'... :eyeroll:
