Super User burleytog Posted February 25, 2008 Super User Posted February 25, 2008 Just when I thought I couldn't hate Swindle any more. That commercial makes me want to shoot the TV. > Quote
CJ Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Yep, it's as bad as the Head On commercials. Only difference is Head On works. ;D Quote
Branuss04 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Yep, it's as bad as the Head On commercials. Only difference is Head On works. ;D That's excatly what I was thinking. HAHAHA. Another one to add to the worlds most annoying commercials list Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted February 25, 2008 Super User Posted February 25, 2008 You think the commercial is annoying, you should visit the site. I like G-Man too but not his website. Quote

Jake P Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 After the 57th plug for the website in that d**n commercial i almost head butted the tv. Jesus that was incredibly annoying. Quote
M_Fields. Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I got real tired of that commercial very quickly. I seemed like they only had a few commercials; not impressed with any of them. M_Fields Quote
Popeye Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 And that's why TVs have "previous channel" and/or OFF buttons:o) Quote
=Matt 5.0= Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I turned off the TV....can't stand him. Quote
BUCKEYEone Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Thats a terrible ad campaign! While I'm sure they want viewers/people to LIKE Swindle, it makes you despise a man you never met, all in less than 30 seconds! They could have saved money and just said "hey I'm g-man, I love babies, animals, and bass fishing...come look at my sight." would have been a thousand times more effective, and my mute button would not be jammed into my remote!

Super User Matt Fly Posted February 25, 2008 Super User Posted February 25, 2008 Gman gets most of his exposure from ESPN, and Head ON can be seen on alot of channels. Considering I watch less and less Sat and Sunday ESPN due to always fishing, its liveable. Try getting out more!!! Quote
Branuss04 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 After the 57th plug for the website in that d**n commercial i almost head butted the tv. HEAD ON... APPLY IT WHERE IT HURTS!!! Be sure to use head on after head butting the T.V. HEAD ON... APPLY IT WHERE IT HURTS!!! Quote
CFFF 1.5 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 i hate the commercial too but it did make me go to the website. How many of you went to the website to see what it was about. If it was a non annoying commercial I would have never went to the website. Quote
Fisher of Men Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I found it very annoying as well. . . almost as annoying as Target and Old Navy commercials. Quote
JCrzy4Bass Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Between this commercial and the stupid gulp commercials with Ike as the bass swimming around telling his story of how he's been fooled by their baits, I got pretty fed up. I was pretty much just swearing and cursing at the tv and Swindle telling him to go catch a freaking fish in the classic and stop worrying about his website lol. Quote
senko_77 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 The Head On and Gmans Garage commercials may be real annoying, but look what this thread is all about. It already has 15 replies and 150 views...out of those 150 views, I imagine 25% of the viewers checked out the site. Now that's smart advertising IMO I love it! Quote

Olebiker Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I guess I lucked out and didn't see the commercials. Actually, I didn't even watch the weigh-in. I found all the screaming and yelling by the announcer to be irritating and over the top. Reminded me of pro rasslin' or roller derby. Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Annoying? Absolutely. But I bet all you guys will remember the website now, along with almost everyone else who saw the commercial. Although a lot of people won't go there regularly, I bet a lot of people will, all thanks to that commercial. Seems pretty smart to me Quote

jrhennecke Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 The commercial did get real old, real fast. Quote
fish-fighting-illini Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Hated the commercial as well I am a little rebelious I guess. I made a pact to not visit the site just because the commercial was so annoying. While I'm at it I decided not to buy anything Purolator while I'm at it. ALWAYS vote via money! Put this commersial and the ancient IKE and whoever's half fish commercial out of their misery Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 27, 2008 Super User Posted February 27, 2008 i saw the commercial once, but now, [not] sadly, i cant remember what it was. but i DO remember it was annoying. i forgot about the website by the time i got back to a computer after seeing the commercial. but i did visit the [retarded] website after viewing this thread : i have to see the commercial on youtube now to refresh my memory of how much i hated it ;D Quote

I wonder how Team Toyota felt about him getting into his Chevy tow vehicle. Quote
