That karate commercial is one of the weirdest commercials I’ve ever seen - but I love it!
I really do not like AT ALL the new Karate Mom commercial. I find it to be very annoying and mute the sound whenever it appears on my tv. I am very surprised that Dunkin Donuts would approve of such a commercial and think the ad agency that produced it should rethink their “talent”. Who came up with this???
That karate commercial is the worst thing I’ve ever seen. Who’s idea was that? I’m curious to know how many people out there have considered suicide after seeing that crap.
Catchy, fresh, memorable and fun. Finally a commercial always worth seeing and tapping my toes to. Joanne, darling, the ads are not for you, but for a slightly more saavy generation of fossil fuel and caffeine guzzling gen something or others who barely pay attention to anything. Much love from NYC!
Anybody who doesn’t like the Karate mom commrcl needs a freekin’ sense of humor……….
If you think this commercial is funny or otherwise entertaining, then there is something wrong with your mind. I don’t know what I hate more, the commercial itself or the fact that some of you morons like it.
I want to know who the guy is in the new Dunkin Donuts commercial on the beach. 1 million degrees…………………HOTTTTTT!!!!!!!
What is the name of the guy in the “one million degrees” commercial?
“KARATE!!!” = Mute button. Most annoying commercial in the past decade. Self absorbed mom sucking down 400 calories in a nice fatty drink while driving around overprogrammed little urchins. Give me a break. That “Karate” screaming has me reaching for the remote and hoping I never see that commercial again.
These commercials are all great, people that find them annoying are simply annoying people themselves!
These commercials suck a nice tightly held ballsack.
Straight station
it is obvious the commercials are anoying, espcially the karate one is anoying, that is one of media advertisings many tactics, be so irritating you get the product stuck in your head till you go out and buy it. Remember the at&t commercials with carrot top pitching their collect call number? well, if you remember it, then it worked didnt it?
Does anyone know where I can find the names of the bands and songs used in the commercials?
I wish Dunks would post them on their site.
Or better yet put together a CD and sell at their
shops.
I cannot _believe_ how anyone could dislike or hate this commercial so much as to bash it with the kind of over-the-top comments I’ve read here and elsewhere on the web.
For cryin’ out loud, it’s just a cute little commercial that’s meant to appeal to minivan-driving soccer moms and make them smile a little. Sheesh!
To Rich who posted on 7/17/06: You need a vacation, man. Self-absorbed mom? The mom in this commercial seems more like a self-sacrificing mom, since it implies that she ismaking the kind of sacrifices necessary to let her kids pursue their hobbies, pay for their lessons and uniforms, and shuttle them around to their various activities.
One last observation: Could it be that, deep down inside, some of those that hate this commercial are subconsciously annoyed that this family has 5 kids, instead of the politically correct two? Hmmm, just a thought…
that karate shit is SOOOOO annoying! Please stop running it
these commercials are great…..in a world of “Head on…apply directly to the forehead” X3 ad nauseum…dunkin donuts hit the mark, i am happy when i catch it on tv…especiallly the pleather one…it ROCKS!!
get a life old people. thanks.
Stan - I think its not the fact that she’s a soccer mom, but a very ugly soccer mom. Her looks are just annoying.
My husband I have a bet that the band that sings the wacky songs in the funny Dunkin Donuts commercials is THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS. Anyone else think so?
WHAT A GREAT DUNKNS COMMERCIAL THE ONE WITH SEYMOUR FROM THE PATS!
The songs are from They Might be Giants

During the past month or so, I’ve heard a dunkin commercial on 100.7 Star in Pittsburgh. I am curious as to who sings this commercial. Sounds like Toothpick, but then I heard he went back to school. Just curious
Can anyone tell me who the voice is on the commercials?! Its really bothering me and I cant seem to find it anywhere. Thanks
Commercials that yell at me make me want to buy the competetion’s products. Starbucks doesn’t have offensive commercials. Dunkins does. I buy Starbucks products now, and probably won’t return to Dunkin Donuts until they change their advertising. No big deal to them, but I conciously choose not to patronize Dunkins because of their ads.
The voice of the commercials is John Goodman, also known as Dan from “Roseanne”.
The problem with these commercials isn’t teh people in them, it’s that it is terrible “music”
your new “fritalian” commercial has to be the dumbest thing i’ve ever seen. “delicious lattes from dunkin donuts… you order them in english, not fritalian.” you morons - “latte” is italian, not english. so you AREN’T ORDERING IN ENGLISH.
it’s sad, really. it’s sad to think you are paying someone six figures to create something so stupid.
I love the new fritalian ad…. it’s funny.
It seems apparent to me that the ‘fritalian’ advertisements are meant to strike a chord with the more xenophobic citizens of the country. In the minds of the advertisers, allying the their substandard product with the same agenda that protests bilingual education and fears ‘foreign influence’ on a non-existent common American culture, they will be able to mask their shortcomings. Why not? It worked for Bush in 2000 and 2004.
Dunkin Donuts commercials are possibly the most annoying commercials ever. Whoever they hired to write and perform those terrible jingles should be horsewhipped.
Well their latest one with all these caffine starved, confused people chanting various French and Italian words and pondering if the product is “French or is it Italian” has me pondering how linguistically challenged they think we are, that “our mouths can’t form these words”. Then going on to state that at Dunkin you can order your Latte in English.
Hello… Latte IS Italian, NOT English and I am certain that we are more than capable of adopting and pronouncing foreign words, the English dictionary is full of them.
I have a pretty good sense of humor and thought that these commercials were mildly amusing and catchy…at first, however, they rapidly become annoying after you see them 3 to 5 times every hour day after day.
Looks like Holly share my sentiment. Sorry for the repeat.
I really do hate these commercials-so much that I had to write about it . I think they are just horrible and they certainly don’t make me want Dunkin Donuts. I especially dislike the “is it french or is it italian?” one. I understand that Dunkin is trying to target the average joe who is not into fancy coffee but , people can’t be that stupid. Oh and the “alarm clock catastrophe” sucks too. Maybe they should rerun the “time to make the donuts commercials.”
Ha - the is it french or is it italian is a feeble attempt to attract Starbucks customers. They’re actually helping Starbucks. DD needs to look in the mirror - I’m not sure what language most of their franchisees and their employees are speaking - is in Indian or Pakistani?
unlike Holly, Jenn, and Willie i liked the “fratalian” commercial. except “latte” is italian, like Jenn said. you could say “you can order a strong black coffee with a topping of frothed steamed milk in english” it might be long, but it is correct according to your commercial. If you notice, there are no french, italian, or fratalian words in that phrase. it just struck me as odd when i heard, :you can order our latte(italian) in english. other than that, i loved that commercial. CATCHY TUNE!!!
I agree with Sara I loved the fratallion commercials in Fact I think DD has come a long way and has a new make over. DD certainly passed over krispy cremes . I also live the commercial with the squirell on the surf boad
There are only a few commercials that I find so annoying as to prompt an immediate channel change. If your advertising group is convinced that the new jingle is good for business, go for it. From my perspective, it causes me to place DD in the category of businesses to avoid due to your decision to become one of those who foist upon us a barrage of irritating commercials. Get simple, get smart, and enjoy the benefits. This ain’t it!!
I think your latest commercial is great, verry patriotic. Like never having to press 1 for English.
[…] My vote for absolute worst ad of 2006 is the Dunkin‘ Donuts spot advertising its new lattes. Apparently it is beyond vocal capability of the average American to speak “Fratalian” (the supposed language of fru-fru coffee shops). And since “America Runs on Dunkin‘”, you order your… wait for it… LATTE!… in English. I guess they couldn’t really call the product “strong coffee with steamed milk”, but does Dunkin‘ Donuts presume its customers are that ignorant? They’ve got people talking with this ad, and that is good in some respects, but at expense of associating the brand with moronic and semi-catatonic xenophobes? That is bound to piss off a few people who are willing to shell out $4 bucks for a coffee. I did a quick Google search, and judging from a few of the comments, I am not alone in my feelings. […]
FYI Willie….there is no language calle “indian or Pakistani”
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS COMMERCIAL!!
But I hardly EVER buy Dunkin Donuts coffee, and even less often buy Starbuck’s…Why does this commercial work? Because you either love it or hate it. Why do I sing it’s praises (pun intended)? Because it’s silly and catchy and not boring. And it’s gonna stick in your head- you wait and see ;–0
Who does the voice on the commercial for the commercial that mocks Star bucks?
Thanks!
The “Fritalian” commercial is the worst. The whole theme is that you order their products in English then they end it with a pitch for their LATTES!!! The stupidity is mind numbing! Everyone responsible for the production of this commercial should be fired immediately.
Oh, I absolutely adore the “Fritalian” commercial. And if you folks can’t see the difference between a common word borrowed from another language (like latte, or deja vu) and Starbucks’ pretentious “Fritalian” twaddle, I can’t help you. Considering that whole over-egoed ‘barristas’ spouting ‘grande’ crap is one of the reasons I abhor Starbucks, that commercial is just perfect.
Read the board on th Fritalian commercial. The 1st thing I read was:
Himan Pla Cento
You pickers just have no sense of the hidden stuff on those commercials. That bad music and singing is to distract you from the fun stuff.
I guess only dunkin drinkers get it.
What is the name of the song and who is the artist that is used in the Dunkin Donut commercials for the various tv spots non-distractions?
I’m looking for the song on a recent Dunkin Donut commercial where the young man just stands there in front of a window drinking an iced coffee while his clothes and the seasons change.
I am with Holly and the rest of you - Long time D&D fan - but latte , like many words we use in America are not English. D&D commercials used to be so good I so miss “all the ghosts and goblins” its not Halloween without it. I don’t know what happened, but the lastest batch are not so good.
Maybe most of you guys are too young, but back in the day “time to make the donuts” rocked. Still the best coffee, when brewed by a shop that cares.
The best stores in the chain are those that stil bake their own product…not finish, but bake….
Does anyone know where i can find the new dunkin commercial where they keep calling the guy different names??
The people who find this commercial amusing, are that annoying mom and deserve a punch in the face.
Hey. I’m not sure if this was a Dunkin Donuts commercial or not, but I was told of a commercial where there’s a man whom no one calls him by the right name and then he goes into a Dunkin Donuts and they get his name right… Is it possible that that one could be posted if it is a Dunkin Donuts commercial… and if not, could someone tell me what the product of that commercial was… It would be EXTREMELY helpful to me and very important.
Does anyone know the name of the song playing in the background of the halloween headless horseman commercial? All the ghosts and goblins such a scary sight…..
I absolutely LOVE the new Fratalian commerical! It’s one of the best on TV right now
dunking donuts commercials are so stupid. people who cant say words in italian and french are just plain ol stupid, and by making that commercial dunking dunuts is just making it self look like crap. besides the whole commercial is trying to diz of Starbucks and they will never be able to…..
Fritalian is the wooooooorst commercial, EVER. How is it that DD has such horrible commercials?! They need new writers!!!! The Rachel Ray ones are ok though.
Just adding my 2 cents as well. Lame commercials. Just another testament to America’s monolingualism problem.
Dear Frank who posted on December 31, 2006 | 2:53 pm,
Starbucks’ entire basis was founded upon the Italian coffee shop feel and theme. I’m sorry you consider Starbucks’s drink names twaddle, but consider that the names excluding the syrup flavor are all adopted from another language. Dunkin’s entire basis is directed towards the average american joe, less educated, less worldly, less open minded who can just make out Large Coffee.
Now as for the “grande crap”. You are free to order your drink however way you like within a Starbucks, “Gallon size mocha latte and uh throw 2 more shots in there oh yeah I want non fat but pour on the whip cream.”
Now if every drink was called back in the manner they were ordered it would get frustrating fairly quickly, thus shorter terms were put in place for the baristas to understand and mark the cups quickly and efficiently “Quad (four) venti (large)non-fat with whipcream mocha latte.” Now was the very hard? Get over yourself.
