that stupid AO-hell commercial

[fluffernutter]

where they are in a cafeteria and the guy dumps "a whole bunch of spam" on the other guy's sandwich is going to make me crazy! x( i try to change channels during commercials, but this one is on so much, you can't help but see it. stupid AOL! just one more reason to hate it.

what commercial makes your skin crawl every time you hear it?

1. Spammity calamity!

yeah I hate that one too

[mtnester]

2. We were with AOL back in the day

in the early 90's when it was a great place to be...

we dumped them 5 years ago and have never looked back.


On edit - I warned my dad this last fall what would happen when he cancelled his account..thank GOD I did because it was a NIGHTMARE for him to try and cancel...he had to call his credit card company and tell them any further charges from AOL was stealing...and the PHONE CALL from hell to cancel...he still talks about it even now, like he was in a war zone.

AOL is not the company it was a decade ago.

4. yep, I've always told people who cancel aol

that is much easier to just report your credit card stolen.

5. "welcome to the Hotel AOL,

you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"

they make it SOOoo easy for you to use them, and then they never let you go.

12. Us too...

back about 1997, they kept billing our checking account for two additional months. Rather than pay us back, they attempted to offer us "free service" for four months instead. I advised them that if I was satisfied with their crappy service, I wouldn't cancel them.

3. any Carl's Jr commercial

except the one with the fetus chastising mom for eating too much spicy food.

[fluffernutter]

6. we don't have Carl's Jr. here

that one you mentioned does sound kinda funny :D

[Sugar Smack]

7. THAT'S THE ONE.

I really cannot stand it any more than you can. It drives me nuts, and I have what I believe to be a high threshold for pain.

[fluffernutter]

8. like it's gonna make us pay extra

for that crap when we already have a cable connection. 'cha right. :eyes: Julia Roberts as the spokeswoman isn't helping matters either...

[Atlas Mugged]

9. ARGGGHHH!!!!

I fucking despise that commercial!!!!!!!!!!!!

So glad I'm not the only one. My SO is bewildered by my reaction to things like that. He doesn't even notice them, so it makes me even more irritated. Then I start wondering if there's something wrong with ME.

[fluffernutter]

14. lol, i'm glad

i'm not the only one either!

[loro mi dicevano]

10. I dunno, but we use AOL CDs as coasters 'round my house.

Very handy, I must say.

[neebob]

11. The Orkin man with his ant and cockroach knowledge

And the ones with the "engine start" button. What's that about?

BTW I hate that AOL commercial, too - especially the part where the stupid guy follows the other one to the cashier as if he's going to eat the spammity calamity.

13. the one with the soccer mom

i can't remember what its for, dr pepper maybe, but the one where a soccer mom and a bunch of 11 year old boys are casting disturbingly lustful looks at each other because she has a cooler of pop
