I stopped by to vent my anger at the latest Wayfair mess of a commercial.  Magically everything appears thanks to the app on the happy villagers' smartphones.

And the assclowns in the ad department of Wayfair has jumped on the drop the mic bandwagon.  Thumbs Down

Morons!! Wayfair ads are just painfully bad.
Every time I see them, I think of this numbnut! Sleepy




As for "Drop The Mic," that trend is not ending anytime soon. Theres a Rap Battle show called Drop The Mic airing on TBS next month. The host could not be more whiter, that British James Corden guy.

Damn - it just occurred to me!
 
The reason they have to drop the mic is to let you know the commercial is over.
In other words, exactly like Millenial "music".  Dead
 
So, rather than discouraging the practice outright, we should urge them to do it SOONER!

Thanks for the warning. So now we have "Dancing with the D-Listers," "Lip-Synching with the D-Listers," and "Rapping with the D-Listers." Kill me now.

I think it's fair to say that the "honky mic drop" is the new "Boom!" *insert annoying hand gesture*

And yet, these "corny white people" caricatures appeal to literally no one. The resulting ads are about as fun and engaging as watching paint dry. I guess it's better to play it safe by being as lame and as mediocre as possible though, huh?

I cannot Stand the Wayfair song.....everytime I hear that.... "Wayfair, you got just what I need....", I think to myself, wow, you must really like filling your house up with cheap ikea type junk that most people wouldn't buy at a yard sale.

As much as I dislike their commercials, I will suggest to anyone with credit problems who really want to carefully crawl out of the financial ditch, Wayfair and Fingerhut are GREAT places to start - but START SMALL, WORK SLOW.

The sad thing is, this POS gets stuck in your head so much that this garbage permeates your head all day. ARGHH!

What's wrong with the voiceover's voice?  Sounds like he's losing it.  Look at the wrinkles on the woman's face popping up at 0:15.  More obnoxious acting idiots!

I just happened to get on here to see what others say about Wayfair ads at the same time I turned on the TV. Forensic Files was on and they were showing an autopsy photo. Now if it had been one of these damn Wayfair dancers I would have hurried to change the channel while averting my eyes!

Yeah I'm one sick S.O.B.

As a former sound tecnician, this whole fad drives me to drink!!!  9 out of 10 times when you drop a mic, you totally trash it. Have you priced microphones lately?
INstead of "drop the mic" you might as well "smash the car"

These were some of the inspirations for Wayfair (Gayfair) advertising.
