Infiniti's Out of Tune 2001 School Orchestra Ads
Because of these ads, I will never buy an Infiniti car. Ever.

To the tone deaf ad people who thought this was a good idea - it isn't.

I think they’re funny

You don’t get the point they’re trying to make?

Sure I get the point. Doesn't mean I like hearing this abomination every 15 minutes when I have Fox News on. To a non-musician, perhaps it is funny. To someone who plays, it's excruciating.

^^^agreed.

Second strike is Infiniti vehicles use laser driven collision avoidance systems. They set off my valentine one.

It was funny the first 10 times, after that...not so much.

MIGHT have been cute if it was an actual beginning band playing but when I saw the close up of the girl with the French Horn and how she had her lower lip on the mouthpiece I knew they were paid actors who had never played a note and likely there were studio musicians faking the bad playing. Any beginning player would know better how to blow a horn after the first day with it, the way she had it would be impossible to even make a sound.



Endeavor to persevere.

My oldest is in 5th grade band, so I find it amusing.

Having been in band before, it is painful to listen to.

Beats having to watch and listen to Mike Lindell every 10 minutes. I can't watch Fox News without a mute button close by anymore. Frown

I think the blame goes with Fox. They're the ones airing it. (Yes, I know Infiniti is paying them to do so.)

Ah, c'mon. Clearly the advertising company knows it's cheaper/easier to get a bunch of kids to pose with instruments and add a good band playing bad notes than it is to get a bunch of kids who actually know how to play instruments and get them to play badly.

Liberty deliberately makes their commercials super-annoying. So does Progressive; GEICO seems more inventive and less annoying.

My wife hates the Infiniti commercial more than I, I guess that means she's the real musician.

Was watching some old shows (with the old commercials) and it said the fall of '86 was the best time to buy an Accord ever!

Seeing the price that the thing goes for now, I'd have to agree.

Newsmax and OAN are even worse. The man has saturated all of the conservative channels. How he makes any money given what he spends on advertising is a mystery to me. I pray he goes bankrupt and then just goes away.

At least many of the other obnoxious commercials are short 15-30 second spots that are tolerable. Lindell has 1-2 minute infomercials. I cannot watch them or even listen to them. It's either mute or turn off the channel...the latter likely being the best choice.

I'd say that all these commercials that annoy you all have accomplished what they set out to do and that is remember them and who the company is.
