Anyone Else Getting Sick of Rory's Omega Commercial?

[Bob57]

Tiresome like any commercial that is constantly repeated. Often times I wonder if these companies realize that playing their commercials so many times in succession might actually turn people off from their product. Same as all the Nike Tiger commercials---booooorrring. But the worst has to be when they would run the cialis commercials what seemed like every other shot...

[AZGolfer1969]

I have watched too much PGA the last few days because this commercial and the one about the curved television seems to be the only interested advertisers for this demo. So much for the coveted golf demo as you would think they could sell a few more spots to other advertisers. At one point today they did the omega commercial, curved tv, then omega again in the same break. btw... I have watched the curved tv commercial for what seems like a billion times and have no recollection of the brand. Great job.

As for the smoking kills commercials they are on a lot as well. I think that is a case of channels that have to air a certain number of commercials of this type so why not get as many out of the way now when you have spots available and only 4 advertisers.

Can't get that stupid song out of my head.

I officially hate the Travelers commercial with the stupid "Magic When You Come My Way" song, and the Behr Deckover "Barefootin'" commercial much more than Rory's Omega spot.

I also hate that dang barefootin' commercial. I don't know why but it makes me want to stab sharp objects into my ears and eyes. Lol. Despite the deep hatred I have for that one, the Rory in the hall of fame Omega spot makes me want to walk out into oncoming traffic... Preferably right into a city bus.

There are a number of commercials that are on so often or are so annoying, that they make me NOT want to buy the product. The rory/omega ad is headed in that direction, and I am a big rory fan....

[golfcarte]

a 4-page thread on it here proves the commercial (and its constant play) is successful, imo.

what's the old saying, any publicity is good publicity?

[Playaway]

Rolled up sock in the trousers works better than an Omega on the wrist.

[toddnt]

It's getting old!

Apparently he can break rocks...

Even my wife has said "is it that same commercial again??"

[TN22]

I like it. Probably because I like Rory, I like watches, and the song is sort of catchy.

[bucky316]

the commercial that is playing non-stop that I don't get sick of is the Transamerica commercial with Azahara Munoz.....damn! her accent is sexy!!!!!

HA! That puppy is 4 Gs. Not too many folks would pony up that cash anyway.

They have definitely run it into the ground, but there is one redeeming aspect of it: Rory's golf swing. Could watch it all day.

[OBbogey5]

Since this is the place for commerical complaining...

12:24 - Back from commerical. Stupid bird taking a bath
One approach shot.
Two player's putts.
Mickelson walking.
One player putt.
Range shot.
12.26 - commerical.

It's sickening. It's not golf. It's not TV. It's advertising. Your Sony, or Samsung, or Vizio is not for entertainment. It's for pushing product. And we all paid money for it. What fools we are. The broadcast companies should be supplying televisions for all of us. They are LOADED from the commericals. God, are we fools.

[Ringer]

Don't watch commercials. DVR is the best thing since sliced bread.

[bandrz]

Breitling is far superior to Omega anyway.

[monkeynaut]

Okay. It's been impossible to avoid this commercial. I hate to complain about them b/c that seems nitpicky. But this one...
THE SONG IS POORLY WRITTEN.
Whoever slapped it together has no understanding of hierarchical order. Everything is backwards.
"You can be the greatest/ You can be the best
You can move mountains/You can break rocks..."

If you're the greatest, you're already the best. Best indicates mastery of skill. "Greatest" implies stature. You're so good, you're larger than the rest The Greatest. There's a reason Ali called himself the Greatest not the Best.

AND
if you can already move mountains, i'm pretty sure you can break rocks. do these people not know what mountains are made of???

Okay, I found the full song lyrics and there's another example in there
"You can go the distance/ You can run the mile"

Stupidest song ever....

I think you guys are forgetting the Web Simpson IZOD commercial... I haven't seen anything to top the dooshbaggery of "Golf Team Izod".

I don't think I dislike anyone based on their tv persona, much less a guy who is supposed to be as good a guy as Simpson is. But if I did, that commercial would turn my heart black.

[b]"Fresh sleeves and sticks. Grip,it and rip it.. Sick."[/b] :vomit: I'll take the Rory Omega commercial all day, in every spot first.

As a side note, I'm wondering how many Titleist marketing folks needed a fresh pair of undies after seeing Rory hold up a ball without their logo on it. Lol.
[/quote]I had no idea what they were saying there, now that I know I understand why, totally nonsensical. Thanks now I feel like vomiting.

You're putting waaaaaay too much thought into modern music.

Most songs these days are written by people that probably couldn't pass a 7th grade math or reading comprehension test.

Just listen to music from the 60s and 70s if you want a good story.

[MB Dirtyy]

I'd rather watch Rory's commercial than the pure strike commercial. Hearing that woman say "Holy Moses" makes me cringe.

I will not buy an Omega watch because of this commercial. Honestly I like the commercial but it's now bordering on torture.

Oddly enough, the lyrics in this commercial have come true. The world knows Rory's name (if it already didn't) and he will definitely be in the Hall of Fame.

[BMC]

I just bought my Omega watch on e bay after watching Rory win!! Woo hooo.

$23,000 with free shipping. FREE SHIPPING!

I've yet to see him break rocks.

[squarre]

My kids were singing the song the few times when the commercial wasn't playing.
