Really annoying!

Nothing's worse than the every other day or so mailings I'm now getting from the AARP just because I recently tuned 50. I'm not interested dammit!

And the one where the lizard flubs his lines and starts laughing isn't funny because LIZARDS CAN'T TALK!

I think car insurance ads, in general, might be intended to be annoying. Except for this commercial, I have yet to come across any that I wasn't at least mildly annoyed with. Whether it's the Gecko and the Looney Tunes bit, the talking pig, the General, or State Farm, I find myself usually having to switch channels for about 30 seconds.
