GFY, Lexus & Their 'December TO Remember'

Fishooked · 12-18-2011, 04:13 PM

I bring this up every year. I get sickened from this crap to my very core.

I know I'm not the only one. SomethingAwful.com agrees.

If you're getting tired of the overbearing drumcirclers of the Occupy movement nothing brings you back around to their point of view quite like a steaming pile of one percenter consumerism. It serves as a reminder that, nope, not everyone is in this together. Some people are doing just fine. Finer, even. It's time for another "December to Remember Sales Event" from Lexus.

The Jets are now the dirty unwashed OWS crowd of the NFL. Think about it. :mad:

FF2® · 12-18-2011, 06:48 PM

Put Christ back in Christmas.

Jetworks · 12-18-2011, 07:02 PM

LMAO at the Zales reference!

But yes, I agree that this schlocky Lexus stuff needs to go. And does it really need to last into Little Christmas? COMMON!

Lone Star Lady · 12-18-2011, 07:18 PM

And don't forget the "every kiss begins with Kay" jewelers, that is -- makes me want to vomit -- enough with the $699 bracelets

Warfish · 12-18-2011, 07:46 PM

Agreed, these comercials are detestable.

Borgoguy · 12-18-2011, 07:51 PM

I absolutely love the chick in this commercial. What a body and smile. As you are all turned off by the spots, I volunteer my services in servicing (orally and otherwise) the young lady.

Lexus is an overpriced Toyota.

parkwayjet1 · 12-19-2011, 08:12 AM

This is one of those "I thought I was the only one who felt this way" moments. Glad to see I'm not. I instantly switch the t.v. to another channel whenever one of these hideously elitist commercials come on - same as last year.

Carlton · 12-19-2011, 08:46 AM

How about the one where she gets a ~$300 smart phone as a "joke gift" that then leads to the real gift.. a new lexus.

JetPotato · 12-19-2011, 09:17 AM

Next month, I have to get my wife a new muffler for her 2001 Ford Taurus. I like to think of it as a "January for the Ordinary".

If I see another commercial I'm going to go ape****....

The headlines will read 'A December To Dismember'

Joe W. Namath · 12-19-2011, 09:29 AM

So because you cant afford a Lexis, we are supposed to hate the commercial?

It's Lexus and I think you are missing the point. No one is bashing BMW commercials.

Traitor Jay & the Woodies · 12-19-2011, 10:06 AM

The most offensive thing about this year's campaign is the whole assumption that that stupid jingle is so iconic that by just hearing the notes, the person becomes aware that they are getting a Lexus. I realize that is the cherry on top of the pretentious sundae, but it really is irritating to me.

[QUOTE=Traitor Jay & the Woodies;4283272]

This one bugs me the most. The chick is very cute but her reaction makes me want to throw the remote through the plasma.[/QUOTE]

My wife goes ballistic every time these spots appear on TV, which is virtually non-stop. She hates that one in particular because of horrendous sound design. If you watch the end, the actress should inhale as she exclaims, "Huh". Instead, the editor has her exhaling.

As for me, I find the commercials annoying, but am always immediately overtaken by the desire to "F" each of the three actresses I mentioned above, especially the one with the short hair.
