Anyone else annoyed by the Six Flags commercial?

The Asian guy screaming "ONE FLAG, SIX FLAGS, MORE FUN!"

i hate those ads. beyond the fact that they're annoying, i actually find them a bit offensive... the whole wacky asian accent thing.

Thank you. I was wondering if anyone else would think they were a little offensive.

I've fortunately never heard the audio to any of those commercials, but I have seen a few versions repeatedly, sans audio, at the gym. They even look annoying, what with the close-ups of the guy's face screaming into the camera.

It's the most annoying series of commercials I've seen in recent months. I don't mind the concept -- the one with the mother and the puppets actually makes me laugh -- but the "one flag, six flags" guy needs to be removed from TV land at once.

It seems Six Flags is two-for-two.

Anyone remember the older gentleman from last year's Six Flags television commercials? There's "annoying to be remembered" and then there's just plain creepy.

Had to search on YouTube to see for myself. Pretty annoying for sure:

More Flags! More Fun! Six Flags! - Dance Machine (http://youtube.com/watch?v=3hadvDHyEwE&fmt=18)

More Flags! More Fun! Six Flags - Evel Knievel Part 1 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=frIJc1mW-fM&fmt=18)

One of the most annoying commercials ever.

[Michael]

they should be killed for this! How dare they!

[reechie]

Is it supposed to be a parody of some of those loud, bizarre Japanese television shows? I don't get it. :confused:

Must be intended to get the attention of kids, so they'll pester their parents to take them to Mt. Splashmore... :wtf:

I'm not too crazy about the new ads, but the old ones, like the one above, just freaked me out. The guy looked like a serial killer.

Yep. That's the one.
Nothing like promoting your business with someone you try to avoid. I think the series only lasted a year or so.

"What ad wizard comes up with these things?" :)

[The Panda]

Thank you. I thought it was me.
Even the ever tolerant wife said, "well, that's pretty annoying."

It's worse than the Fat Boys yelling SWATCH WATCH!!!!!!!! over and over.....

It is not WE who are slaying the asian population...it is SIX FLAGS. Those commercials are not only annoying, but extremely offensive, IMO.

You need to read better, and chill out.

For me, the most annoying advertisement presently on T.V. is the advertisement for a Simpsons amusement park ride, in which Bart & Lisa Simpson repeatedly intone the works "Are We There yet?,Are We There Yet?,Are We There Yet?,Are We There Yet?

[Uncle Al]

Jeez - those old dancing dude Six Flags commercials must have run for about 4 or 5 seasons here in the northeast. There was a whole series of them. They dissapeared about 2 seasons back. I thought some of those commercials were pretty funny.

The current "more flags" capaign made me yearn for the old dancing guy...

[Downsampled]

The ads are definitely annoying -- except, in the ad with the old woman getting entertained by her cat chasing the flashlight, that actually looks more entertaining than going to Six Flags!

I found the old guy hilarious. Have not seen the current commercials.

Huh?? It's not like they're using some caucasian guy in yellowface with big fake buck teeth. What's wrong with a guy with an accent?

[Henry Love]

I think it's funny myself.

[gd0]

This thread!

One flag!

No fun!

that would be a lot funnier to me, actually.

I love doing that to my cat. :)
