  • SCs in commericials

    OK, just saw the new National Car Rental commercial... when I worked there I never understood why we had so many more SCs than the other rental agencies... now that I have seen the commercial I understand... National is trying to attract them. For those of you that haven't seen the commercial yet there is a smug looking asshole talking about with National you can skip right past the desk and pick up the car of your choice (with small print underneath saying, select locations, no one reads that though)... the guy is walking towards a car sees another person walking towards it, picks up a rock throws it at the guy and shouts "hey, that's my car"

    OMG, did I just see a commercial encouraging customers to be violent to each other

    Fantastic, advocation violence to your fellow man. Way to go National!
    A PSA, if I may, as well as another.

        That actually reminds me of the advert from V8 that advocates spousal abuse. The V8 advert involves a woman braining her husband every time he chooses to do something that might not be healthy. Not dangerous, mind you, just not the healthiest choice. The first time I saw it, my jaw hit the floor.

        But, back to the OP, methinks they're going to find themselves in a spot of trouble with that advert.

          This almost makes me want to go throw rocks at National customers and then claim false advertising when I get arrested.

                There have been quite a view commercials lately that make people think being an EW is the way to go. I thought the same thing when I saw that commercial, too, Smiley. Never worked, there, but my reaction included shock and shaking my head.

                  Mom hates that commercial. She said she can't wait for some idiot to try that to her so she could deck 'em.

                  I'll post video if it ever happens.

                    I absolutely HATE the newer BK commercials for that one steak burger or whatever the frack it is (I don't care for BK very much).

                    Guy rear ending the person in front of him and shrieking the tires and smoking them and pulling up to the window after pushing the other car out of the way and looking all innocent, etc etc....

                    Thats...not...funny.

                        The guy rear-ending the other one. The guy jumping from his car and letting it roll into traffic. The ones before those where they hidden-camed a bunch of SC's going apeshit on their employees. And now the new Mushroom-Swiss burger commercials. I don't advocate senseless violence, but those two guys in that commercial need to be buried up to their necks in excriment and then run over with a moped. And BK needs to fire their ad managers, I won't go into one untill they actually do a half-decent commercial.

                          I heard a commercial recently that made me want to reach through the radio and punch the announcer in the throat. It went on about how; when you go to the store and ask if they have anything better, they'll go to the back and get you the best stuff, if they like you. I had to turn off the radio and scream.
                          wouldn't lube work better in a f***ing machine?

                            I'm guessing no one's heard of the infamous J.G. Wentowrth "It's MY money and I need it NOW!!!" commercials then...

                            'Cuz they're been playing them a lot lately.

                            Also those Staples ones where SC's are shopping, don't like the price, push the EZ button, then either catbuttface or do something equally sucky when -lo and behold- it doesn't work.

                              Hmmm but I find the J.G. Wentworth commercials funny, and well the Staples one seems like a [Nelson] HA HA! [/Nelson] to SC's.
