Commercials We Hate on SNY - 2016 Edition

[Guest themetfairy]

I think this is for the Nature Conservancy, but I'm not sure.

A family of four gets into a car, the parents in front and the two pre-tweens in the back. The son puts on his headphones, but the daughter keeps annoyingly humming at her brother, hitting him with her toys, etc. For the entire ride! And the parents let him!

If that kid gave his sister a good smack nobody in the universe would blame him. Why are these parents letting their daughter be such an undisciplined brat?

It's irrelevant that they eventually get out of the car at Central Park - it's a blessing to get out of this clown car no matter where it's stopped!

Oh, and the same advertiser has another commercial where this annoying hipster family takes a NYC bus to go kayaking, taking up everyone's time to secure their kayaks on the bus and taking up tons of room in the bus with their equipment. We're supposed to admire them for finding nature, but I hate these selfish assholes who should have sprung for a cab rather than unreasonably inconveniencing all of the other passengers on the bus.

My apologies to the Nature Conservancy. The offending organization is Discover The Forest.

I truly hat them.

You've violated the historically more concise "One Sentence Summary" format that I came up with lo these many years ago.

Right? It's like they hired Ayn Rand to head up their advertising.

[Guest cooby classic]

I am just astounded that someone would have to take a bus to a forest. I am so lucky...I have a forest behind my yard and I love it.

[Guest themetfairy]

This is the commercial that makes me bonkers -

Trust-fund hipsters get "back to nature" by traveling to a wedding in a car that gets 9 mpg

[Zvon]

So I suppose uni commercialism will start like this, small & out of the way...
Ugh, horrible.

Every time I see this ad I scream at the TV that the woman should run!

What's wrong with getting married inside a dry house?

Nothing, though I'm glad I didn't (get married inside, it wasn't raining). But presumably they went into it knowing it was a possibility.

Fwiw I had to google to figure out which commercial it was, I couldn't remember the brand.

I often conflate it with

"Guy drives clumsy girl up into the mountains to propose."

I think that one's Mazda though.

[Guest cooby]

Wow not even close to 60 seconds!

[Lefty Specialist]

It's a small wedding party; you could wait things out.

Moms and Dads nowhere to be seen; I guess they were the smart ones. Or maybe they and everybody else is back at the lodge, figuring NOBODY would be stupid enough to go out in this weather, regardless of what car they had. Dad's probably hitting the bourbon again, muttering about not trusting this doofus with his little girl.

And then they come back, all wet and muddy; a bunch of broken heels and one of the bridesmaids has a sprained ankle and it turns out the guy who married them isn't really a reverend at all, he just paid for it on-line. Dad's really in his cups by now, and Mom is in tears because all those beautiful family shots they were going to take will be ruined.

Groom's stepfather comes over to say, "Hey, we'll all be laughing about this in thirty years!", and Dad delivers a haymaker that sends Stepdad over the mahogany bar into the Cutty Sark, screaming "You and that goddamn Land Rover- it's all your fault, you bastard!!!!!"
