Stupid Commercial

[ladyluck_t]

Ok, i just have to get this off my chest. Has anyone seen that commercial for enterprise rental cars, the one where the couple are getting off a plane and the wife tells her husband that they are getting enterprise rental and he says they have an enterprise in the airport? and the wife says yes, they are now in the airports. well DUH!!!

SO, tell where else would you look for a rental car place? and wouldnt they all be represented at an airport? How dumb do you gotta be not to expect a rental car place at an airport? now i know little airports may not have them, but these people were getting off a jumbo jet => larger airport

i really hate tv!

Whewww.....sorry it just overflowed

Actually, that is new for that particular rental company. Historically Enterprise has not been located at airports and did not cater to travelers - their main business was built around people needing rental cars locally - like while their own vehicle is in the shop. Most rental car companies are located at airports - and are more expensive as a result - so enterprise used to be going after a different market with better pricing for people who didn't need (or want) to pick up a car at the airport. Until recently, you wouln't find enterprise at the airport.

The whole thrust of Enterprise at first was that they picked you up when you rented a car. You didn't need to travel to get the car at an airport or anywhere else. They came to you, you signed the agreement, you drove them back to the agency lot and off you went. So they didn't need or want to be in an airport.

They also have major contracts with insurance companies such as Geico and Allstate and provide rental cars for their insurance customers who have accidents and are provided rental cars by their insurance companies.

The dumbest comercial I've ever seen is the pizza one, where the three guys are sitting around and one of them rings a bell and the dogs comes running in the room and the guy says, "dumb dog."

Man, I just want to punch him in his teeth everytime I see it!

Ok, i admit, i didnt know that enterprise was not initially at the airports. i guess that does put a new spin on the commercial. i just assumed all rental places were at airports and we all know assuming does! SORRY! Thank you for bringing that to my attention! :D

You know the one I hate??? Is that Pepto Bismol one, where they're dancing, and they point to the parts of their bodies where they need Pepto, and they point at their butts for the diareah one!! And that lady on the end, in the skirt needs to NOT dance... Everytime I see it I think "that's so embarrassing for them! They point to their BUTTS!"

I, too, hate the Pepto commercial. It's so crass!

I hate the Quiznos sub commerical with the singing rats. Why in the world would a compnay use singing rats to promote food of all things. Every time that commerical comes on I want to throw some thing at the TV

OK, I literally just laughed out loud at the mention of that Pepto commercial. As if having a British accented announcer makes it classier to grab your butt on the word diarrhea!!

But, the commercial I hate the most is the one for Tractor Supply Co., the farm equipment place. The guy is standing in the parking lot and says something like, So, you don't want your huntin' dog to have more huntin' dogs? You better fence her up then! Then they proceed to build a fence around this poor little GSP with barbed wire at the top. I know it's meant to be silly, but I think it's just stupid. If you don't want more 'huntin' dogs, get your dog spayed you dumbbutt!!

PS: I have to admit that I really laugh at the Quizno's commercial. Several marketing industry publications have actually pointed it out as a very effective advertising ploy... You won't ever forget it, will you?!
