Dude driving the car, techno music on, woman in Gatsby cap launches into weird rhythmic contortions as the dude sails around corners.
If Ritchie and Madonna had anything to do with it, it wouldn't make me like it any more.
Dave Chappelle did a great parody wherein the woman gets dumped on her ass on the kerb.

It definitely is on my top 10 worst ads also. Everybody in the damn car acts like they just escaped from the "Dumb Farm"

1- The song is pretty sweet, I used to enjoy hearing it at DC dance clubs.
2- The chica can dance, I've seen people with moves like her under many a black light and disco ball and they always impress

3. How about the Quiznos ad with the guy suckling the wolf? |
|
That is the most disturbing commerical I've ever seen. They have a second, less annoying one where he's only being licked by the wolf cubs and their mom. Still a little weird.

In Milwaukee there is a car dealer that has been advertizing using his own face and voice for decades now, Ernie Von Schledorn.
He sounds like Lawrence Welk, and says "Who do know wants to buy a car?"

That's bothered me for years. Pharmaceutical companies encourage the patient to make their own diagnosis and suggest a certain drug to the doctor. I thought it worked the other way. But then I could be wrong.

37. It's all about drug advertising regulations. |
|
If the drug company actually states what the drug is supposed to DO, they have to also disclose possible side-effects.
If they mention just the name of the drug in a commercial and say "ask your doctor", they don't.

21. Purely on annoyance! "It's Her" |
|
Comedy Central has been airing these seemingly pointless (I am sure they are trying to build something up) commercials that feature a girl doing stupid crap like falling in love with a homeless man (thinking he is an artist) and getting off on a 25% drug store pony ride. It drives me nuts, I don't know what it is about, and I think I get stupider everytime I see it.
On the other side, the new Geico commercials (I got good news), are rather fun for a few viewings/hearings. They definately have some talent in thier marketing depo.

The first time I heard that commercial I announced it was my new most-hated ad. Let's Get It On! Sixth-graders! Yuk, yuk, yuk.
It replaces the old most-hated, in which a parent is bargaining with a child over breakfast: two bites of egg and one drink of OJ, etc. Eat what's put before ya, you little ingrate, or be hungry.

My only hope for humanity is that the creators of these assorted debacles have intentionally made them this reprehensible in order to attract more attention.
Newlyweds: man carries woman across threshold of hotel room on honeymoon, leaves room to change out of tux. First thing wife does is call her friend and brag about how great the room is and how it must cost her husband a fortune, etc, and that she has obviously made the right choice, the posh room being the icing on the cake.
Then there is that one with the old couple giggling obnoxiously in the elevator because they paid less than the other couple riding with them. There are others, but these are the ones that have unfortunately been fused into my brain stem when I was too slow in reaching the remote.

51. Okay, another one came to mind: |

It's that paper towel commercial in which a fat little bastard is eating barbecued chicken, wiping sauce off his mug after every bite, then tossing them onto a three-foot pile to his side.
Is Mom supposed to clean all that up? Is she out buying more chicken for the little shit?
