In the new Jeep ads: We don't build Jeeps, you do.
So apparently when you buy a Jeep, they send you a kit with all the parts you need to built the Jeep in your garage.

I remember hearing somewhere that commercials deliberately try to be annoying so they are easier to remember. I don't know if that makes sense in terms of selling.

Not a tagline per se, but I see so many prescription drug ads that say, "Do not take (insert drug name here) if you are allergic to it or one of its ingredients." If you've never taken it before, how are you supposed to know if you are allergic to it?

High on the list of the drug idiocy is the one for treating POST MENOPAUSAL something or other that says "don't take it if you are pregnant or may become pregnant !" and the ones that say '' be sure to tell your medical professional if you have had a liver (or heart or kidney) transplant " .. like maybe they wouldn't notice the scars even if you are a new patient ?

The guy selling insurance with the EMU probably has a tagline but the sound goes off when they come on so dunno what it is so I looked it up Liberty Mutual "Only Pay For What You Need "  The tagline is not as bad as the whole emu idea made it look like it would be. |

For a long time, this company's commercials were too cerebral. So get a cute animal and voila! Make annoying commercials with an animal, but not a cute one. |

ANY commercial using any of the following lines (or variations thereof):
"There's nothing like it!" Oh, really? Nothing like it? Then basically you're saying your product doesn't exist. ("There's nothing else like it!" would be correct.)
"We deal in exclusively quality merchandise." (Everything has some kind of quality--unless it's nonexistent. See previous example. How about "We deal in exclusively high quality merchandise.")
"If you are on a diet..." (Everybody who eats anything is on some kind of diet; your "diet" comprises everything you habitually eat. Better to specify "weight-loss diet" or "low glycemic diet", etc.)

There is that couple who lose 10x more weight .... but 10x more weight than WHAT ?
or is it 10x more by this method than some other way ?
Have not seen that commercial lately.... maybe someone asked the company that question !
