Most Overused Advertising Cliches
Experts say that the average person is exposed to about 3,000 advertisements every day. With that many advertisements out there, it is no surprise that advertisers have a hard time coming up with something new. It seems that many advertisers out there have completely given up on being original and are simply recycling the same old ads. This list is a collection of the cliches that advertisers keep on throwing in their ads.This always shows up for like snackezz or pillow pets or like flashlight friends. Another one is you must be 18 or older to order
Order within 10 minutes and you will get two for the price of one!
Oh. So if I order this piece of crap now I can get more crap. ? Wow "cool"
For 200 extra pounds!
Research shows that you must not use round numbers for percentages. Use numbers like 37, 23, 78 etc, so people will fall for it easily.
Isn't it on T.V. already?
The free part just becomes useless when they say that.
I did not get the message from the ads..
Soo you are telling me to buy Two?
It's free but it isn't!
Billy May's famous quote
Get a free cat
The kids are cute, but I have to admit it's annoying. That's like showing a picture of a kitten rolling around and talking about car insurance in the background. It's adorable, but irrelevant.
Thank you! Those commercials are not cute at all! They're annoying, especially the smart-daughter-dumb-daddy ads!
These are bad because they all try to make you laugh, and think they are original, but the kids are just annoying.
I notice now that every other commercial nowadays always deals with first-time parents.
You should sell it for 7 dollars instead of 6.99 because one time, I bought something for 6.99 and I gave them 7 dollars and then I gave them 5 dollars for tax because that is all I had and I got no change.
There is actually a point behind it, though. Science shows that is you have a, say, 5 dollar product, and sell it for 4.99, (Or 4.95 if you live in a country where the penny no longer exists), you will thinks it's a cheaper price
Let's be real, we're all used to it.
Of course it may increase your risk of cancer, liver disease or a stroke... But...
These ones are great. You watch a 60 second commercial and when it is over, you have no idea what it is that you are supposed to buy.
Often I have noticed advertisements for shoes have pictures of people whose shoes are not even visible.
They look cool, so you keep watching. And you have no idea what you're supposed to buy.
Weight loss commercials
Person: Not proud of weight wanna be lighter than paper to be a supermodel well take one littlest nibble possible of weightie
Impossibly skinny person who never took it: I did and right away lost 600 pounds!
Person: It's only 22.99! But wait there's more order in the next 30 seconds and you'll pay an extra 400 dollars
There are actors on the commercials.
"This saves my life! I'm ___, and this is my true story! " And at the bottom of the screen, in tiny letters, it said "actor portrayal."
Or fake patients who tell their stories...
"I took this pill for 2 days and I lost 200 Kgs"
You'd think they didn't want people pounding on their doors in a frenzy to get their product. Maybe it's a safety issue - "we don't want our employees trampled to death, so we won't tell you how low our prices are! " Give me a break.
Oh yeah! This simply means: "We're going to stop selling this in a few years". Well any product can be : "For a limited time". You can't sell something FOREVER!
When I actually want to buy the product, I'll refresh the limited time to get the bonus!
These are done by actors who have never been on T.V., so they are perceived to be 'normal' people. Usually shot outdoors or some location to make it look like they were chosen at random.
Cheap ass way to make idiots buy it faster.
Are you tired of ads! Then get this sledgehammer today and smash your device or TV every time this stupid ad pops up!
Are you tired of hearing are you tired of?! Great!
Are you tired of are you tired of?
That one wrote itself.
Ever heard of The Dump? It's a furniture store that probably has had four or five "going out of business" sales that I can remember hearing about on television.
So if you buy 7 things that you don't want, you will be saving more money than if you only got one.
You save money by spending it!
That claims you're stupid for buying our crap product.
For only three easy payments of $39.99.
JEEZ! Please, just put the normal price. And no shipping! Make it so the shipping is in the cost. And instead of $39.99 put $40.00.
And people think it is better than saying the true price.
It normally costs hundreds of dollars, but you can get it here for only 5 payments of $75
Just because a company is old doesn't mean it's good.
Yep, that's right, 1853!
Day one ad - Today only.
Day 2 copy of day 1 ad - Today only.
Repeats forever.
Every other commercial on T.V. uses this at the beginning or somewhere in the content.
