Ad Wizz-ards

AITOOW hates the following commercials?

ATT's where some yenta in training gives her boyfriend the silent treatment. Could you be more of a JAP? I dated a JAP once and this girl is a perfect caricature of her annoyong cliches. Did the ad execs (from Jew Nork?) really think we think kind of snootiness and oy veh demonstrating is endearing. It's grating and degrading at the same time. Please don't leave the island.

Brighthouse's where they try to be "a friend". A friend doesn't force you to pay for something you can get for free. A friend gives you gifts. A friend doesn't put you on hold. A friend doesn't force you to buy packages. A friend doesn't break down constantly. A friend doesn't charge you to be a friend.

Domino's cheese crusts. First, it is just cut up crusts - hossah. Second, they say "big ideas" (this is a big idea?) don't usually come from the ground up. That's wrong. They just don't in tone deaf corporations that rely on consultants or their own squalid imagination - ostensibly like Dominos. Third, the CEO laughs when they say the guy who came up with the idea should become CEO. Why not? Why is this tool so much better? It's f-in pizza. How smart do you have to be stay the course on that. That guy couldn't even come up with the insanely complicated concept of cutting up crusts and powdering them with Parmesan. And his condescending dismissal of the suggestion just makes him look like the self interested corporate dick he probably is.
