"I called to check my ZIP code..."

These commercials are scam artists at work trying to phrase things in a way that the elderly think they are missing out on additional gov't provided medicare things because they forgot to fill out the right form.

But, I did start using the "I called to check my ZIP code..." line on my family any time an opportunity came up.
Example:
Wife: "Should we call for (usually pizza) takeout?"
Me: "Sure, I will do it"
Get phone, pretend to push buttons
Me: "Hi... yes I would like to order some pizza. I would like two large pepperoni...... yes that is right.... oh and I would like to check my ZIP code..."
Wife: (throws couch pillow at me)
 
How about ads for those apps that find subscriptions you forgot about?

My current fave is this one, with the stand up comic-

WTF?

Someone is spending 18K A MONTH on subscriptions they don't know about??

...and that is 980 bucks less than they spend on average??

18K is $216,000 a year

Remember those weird Burger King ads with the plastic faced King? That dude was creepy with that stupid grin....the dude always just appearing out of thin air with a hamburger. The forest, a woman's house, wherever. If some friggin dummy appeared in my house UNinvited, I'd hope my dogs would bite his azz before I could get my gun. If I want a Whopper, I'll go get one, not wait for this weirdo to show up.
Now these brainiacs have a new campaign. They have some dummy singing over the ad with the vocal qualities of THIS genius....

I like to have the TV on for background when I'm doing other stuff but who does this stupid TV ad appeal to? The lowest common denominators of society?

The same tone deaf, NO talent hack is still singing the BS jingles for Burger King and I continue to boycott them.
I hate this crap. I either MUTE the TV or fast forward through the ad if I can. I love the Burger King Whopper but refuse to give them a nickel until they stop these crappy ads.
 
I totally Agree,I hate his voice and the jingle Sucks, I mute or change the channel as fast as i can. I do not care for the Whopper (too much filler in the beef).I like their Ice cream when the machine isn't broken. Hardees for the win ! or Carl's Jr. depending on location !

I haven’t seen one of those commercials in a while. I hate to tell ya, but I honestly don’t think they will be stopping those types of ads anytime soon. Maybe write them a letter telling them how you feel?
 
I have sent a few. I get the obligatory email version of a form letter thanking me for my input.
The ads seem to play frequently during the reruns of Blue Bloods on the Wednesday marathon sessions on the ION channel.

And it seems like 3 out of 5 are for some sort of "medicine" anymore. And for every one of them, 20 of the 30 seconds are all the "fine print" side effect warnings.

I still miss when ads used to be for board games, new cars, and other tv shows...

The big Pharma ads are getting so out of hand lately, that, 90% of all the ads on TV are for their products and pushing the drugs, "Take A Pill" and "Get Better Results" and then the rest of the ad is for the disclaimers that would make one wonder if in fact any and all drugs were of credible usage in helping or curing one's issues. It seems most of them are for us old folks and then those with mental issues and finally eating disorders. It's no wonder that RFK Jr is touting the unhealthfulness that this Country is causing and promoting!!! cr8crshr/Bill :usflag: :usflag: :usflag:
 
I had forgotten about this one - it's quite funny....
