It's absolutely horrible isn't it? The 30 second ad is pretty unbearable but every once in a while - like last night - they air the super extended version of this POS. |

Good comparison, that voice was the exact reason why I could not take stand her mousey, whiny character on "House M.D."

HA i thought she was pretty great on House but that still doesnt excuse this excrement...this is far from the only ad that uses this overdone 'amateur' voice strategy and deconstruction of old songs, but its head and shoulders tHE WORST

I never knew about this till I listened to Howard Stern several weeks ago. "The Vocal Fry." Where women vibrate their voice. Especially with hipster singers like I'm Living The Life of Dreams and this horrible U of Phoenix commercial. Thought we were done with this campaign but just when I thought it was safe (not hearing commercial for weekd) I heard it yesterday. Check out the link about Vocal Fry.

That is so spot on! 8min 40sec mark "I caaaame in with waaaalls up" It is a 'thing' a horrible annoying thing. Upbeat and then the tone drops to this dragging croaky voice..almost slow like they downed 3 Xaxax's My god, I couldn't handle that! I was about 11, 12 when that whole Valley Girl talk was popular, that song from Zappa and I recall that kind of talk was f'ing unbearable! |

Bingo! You just nailed the most annoying part of this ad, as far as I'm concerned. |

are possibly as annoying as Squawky McHipsters WARBLIN |

There's not a whole lot of commercials that REALLY piss me off, but every time this commercial comes on I just want to CHOKE this b*tch and everyone who had a hand in producing this commercial! Even the Buick ads aren't this bad. I HATE THIS COMMERCIAL! I hate it so bad I joined this forum because I hate it so much. Hate is not even a strong enough word. So glad I graduated from someplace ELSE.

Are women as oppressed as this ad leads me to believe?

She is a looker, and this character knows it. She'd be the kind with perfect pedi toes, take off her shoes and eeech, the smell of fetid fromage comes wafting up further assault on the kindly boss or security guard putting up with her BS. as she does her schoolwork for that diploma mill. However, squawky Mc. Hipster warblin gets my vote as number one annoyance!
Even "Precious" is sportin a ducky face!
That Aflec Duck ate too many dung beatles or whatever quackers throw down!
Zaftig "blubber ducky" would need an "Extra Seat" when flying on an airliner!

Eh, I found out who actually signs this pile of crap. Some girl going by the hip one word name "Roarke"
One of those YouTubers - like Justin Bieber, that Megan Trainer artist, etc - that's trying to spawn a career. https://www.youtube.com/c/roarke Nothing original on her page, covers of Radiohead, Nirvana, Adele, John Lennon.......... .....destroyed by that insipid voice!

To me, these indie, artsy, folksy women singers sound like prepubescent boys. Colbie Callait comes to mind.
Stop butchering classic tunes with this breathless, pathetic creaking. |
