Annoying Commercials

[outofbounds]

If I hear "waterfalls of caramel" one more time send the guys with the straight jackets and white overcoats. Does anyone else hate this commercial as much as I do. I love Snickers but I'm switching to Butterfingers if they don't stop running that stupid commercial!:grr:

[underpants]

1. I like that one-the cell phone one with the audio cut out drives me nuts

I am really sick of seeing that one.

[madinmaryland]

[unpossibles]

7. that one confuses me

what are we supposed to do with it now?!?

and is it fair that their marketing "strategy" creates a need for the product?

[unpossibles]

8. the newest wave of anti-pot commercials

the frying pan did not work, the squashed and deflated girl won't work.

edit: ironically, this was supposed to be in response to the OP... I swear I am not high, I'm just tired.

[MiniMandaRuth]

93. I find those hilarious

because I have terrible allergic reactions to weed.

They should just show me rolling around on the ground, choking and spitting, with the words 'This could be your friend. Don't do it, unless you want their stuff'



But that might not work.

[deutsey]

10. This one tops my list, with the "Restore your manhood" hummer commercial

a very close second.

[outofbounds]

15. I forgot about that one OMG!!!!

Head on run into a brick wall! Head on run into a brick wall! Head on run into a brick wall!:nuke:

[L A Woman]

17. ha ha

:rofl: I HATE that one!

[Ava]

50. those commerical drive me INSANE!

:grr:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

67. Fucking stupid commercial.

:grr:

[deadparrot]

90. Gah. Me too.

x(

[NewWaveChick1981]

3. I hate all of those. I also hate the Milky Way "Why so blue,

panda bear?" commercial. :puke: He's not in a blue mood---he's "blue" because he didn't get any, bitch!!! :rofl:

[NJ Democrats]

6. Same Here

I also hate the Dial for Men one with the tuba player.

[NewWaveChick1981]

9. Yikes! Forgot about that one...

I HATE that one too... :grr:

[outofbounds]

18. Ohh yeah What ev? arrrrrrrrgh!

What ev? how stupid that sounds.

[NewWaveChick1981]

46. It sounds like a dorky white guy who couldn't get laid trying

to sound cool. :P Grrr.... :grr:

[Quantess]

92. The lame guy walks her to the door, after a lousy first date,

She winces as he leans in for a kiss. "C'mon baby, I want to bust a nut with you" he says, unzipping his pants on the doorstep.

Horrified, she slams the door in his face. "What-ev" he says.

:thumbsdown: :rofl:

[meegbear]

4. Hi, I'm a PC and I'm a Mac ...

and I'm gonna switch to Linux if they keep showing those inane commercials.

[Throd]

48. Mac=cool PC=still a virgin living in mom's basement

[meegbear]

55. Oh OK ...

I'll ponder that some more when I finish my Objective-C project. Maybe later, when I'm home on my G4.

So when you moving out of the basement?

[Throd]

61. My point is

that you should use the platform that best suits your individual needs. If Mac is the best choice for you, then by all means use it. My PC does my business just fine. I just resent giant corporations using low-brow hipsterism to peddle their wares as some anti-establishment rebellion. PC versus Mac, Ford versus Chevy, Fender versus Gibson, blah blah blah...

[LSdemocrat]

89. Exactly. The public image difference is more marketing than substance

[WritingIsMyReligion]

68. Like the "touche!" one??

That drives me insane.

:crazy:

[sarge43]

5. The newest Hummer ad

Soccer mom gets dissed in a parking lot by some bag. Instead of turning the other cheek, blowing it off or doing a verbal slam, SM goes out and drops big bucks on a Hummer. Final shot is SM driving around with a "no prisoners" look on her face.

Yup, just what the world needs right now - more aggressive, mean 'tude assholes in APCs. :puke:

[Crazy Dave]

31. They get my vote

The other is about a vegetarian guy who's supposedly becomes a real man after he buys his :puke:

[distantearlywarning]

72. I HATE that commercial!

It actually made me angry the first time I saw it. I called my husband into the room and made him listen to me rant about it for 5 minutes.

[ThomCat]

11. Are there really any commercials that are NOT annoying?

I work at an Ad Agency and there are commercials running in loops all day in every lobby.

[outofbounds]

16. You poor poor man.

But tell me you aren't creating those!x(

[ThomCat]

19. No, I don't create commercials.

I am a telecom management consultant. I help manage their North American telecom infrastructure.

[outofbounds]

21. Wow that sounds like sailing,

hours of boredom interrupted by moments of stark terror.

[ThomCat]

22. That is a very good description!

:rofl: It's a lot like that.

[outofbounds]

26. Cool! and man is it true;)

[displacedtexan]

12. DiTech

Mute and wait, or channel surf until it goes away?

Decisions. Decisions.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

13. What's that commercial where they scream "and KAH RAH TAYYAY!!"?

(situation is Mom's shuttling the kids from afterschool activity to aftershcool activity and there's some kind of rap soundtrack reeling off the names of the activities)

[terrya]

30. I HATE that commercial

God, that's the worst commerical on the air right now. Hands down.

It's for Dunkin Donuts.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

32. Dunkin' Donuts? I never would have guessed.

I guess there's such a thing as TOO annoying.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

69. Dunkin Donuts, for one of those summery coolattas they roll out.

That, too, is a fucking annoying commercial. :grr::grr:

[Mad_Dem_X]

14. I'm glad I don't watch a lot of TV

I've not seen any of these mentioned, except the deflated girl and

Head on! Apply directly to the forehead
Head on! Apply directly to the forehead
Head on...:banghead:

[AlCzervik]

20. and of the "Kidz bop" or "Worship jamz" commercials.

[outofbounds]

24. Haven't seen those,

is that avatar from that Adult Swim little mini cartoon? It has a cup and some fries and meatwad? That is so funny!

[AlCzervik]

1st be glad you haven't seen them, you'll want to puke, and yeah

thats Masta Shake from The Aqua teen hunger force.

[tinfoil tiaras]

28. Oh God, I HATE those!!

In the first place, why would you want to get a CD that has all the Top 20 hits sang by a group of kids that really can't sing at all. You can download the real thing on Itunes, Limewire etc, or you could buy like Now 22 that has the real singers on it...grr

But I do hate "WoRsHiP jAmZ" even more. Contemporary Christian sung by kids who can't sing...:puke:

[Initech]

34. Worship Jamz?

That cant for real, can it? :spray:

[AlCzervik]

45. i wish i could tell it wasn't so--but it is

http://www.musicspacekids.com/product.asp?catalog_name=MusicSpace2&product_id=MS1211&cookie%5Ftest=1

[outofbounds]

56. That reminds me in the early 70's

They used to sell these 8-tracks, oh yeah baby, that were top 40 hits of the day by the Original Artist. Turns out the Original Artist were covering all the songs! They were trying to side step the false advertisement laws and came really close to pulling it off but they didn't. They got popped and had to refund anyone who wanted their money back.

I never will forget how pissed off I was when I tried to listen to that fraud! I also never will forget how fuming mad my Dad was for getting taken by this group. Me = :wow: then :cry:
My Dad :-( x( :grr: :mad: He was hot!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

71. Unfortunately, it can.

x(

[WritingIsMyReligion]

70. I saw a "Worship Jamz" one just last night.

Crappy, crappy music. x( x(

[azmouse]

23. Why is eating someone else's food a good idea for a commercial???

I'm seeing so many commercials right now that show people eating food that belongs to someone else.
DQ has one with a guy on an airplane who sets his sundae down to put away his bag and the guy in the seat next to him keeps eating it. I'd like to see the ice cream dumped on the asshole's head!! Man! that is one annoying commmercial.

[Skittles]

37. rude, boorish behaviour has always been around

now with high cellphone usage it is increasingly considered the "norm"

[AngryAmish]

25. Ford commercial with American Idol fool hopping around

[outofbounds]

27. I hate that one too.

Every 8 minutes.

[AngryAmish]

29. On like 8 times during every baseball game

[WritingIsMyReligion]

74. NESN practically wets itself with anticipation playing them.

What a way to ruin the Red Sox! :mad::mad:

[hfojvt]

44. the next American sell-out

I wasn't ready for him.
Apparently his million dollar contract was not enough, or are the commercials part of his recording deal?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

73. Another winner. (Loser?)

Taylor Hicks: STFU.

:grr:

[Initech]

33. If I see that Jon Lovitz Subway commercial one more time...

I'm seriously going to toss my TV set out the window. :argh:

[SpeedwayDemocrat]

35. The new Chrysler ads with Dr. D...

O.K., I know that automakers like to use their presidents/CEOs as pitch men, but Chrysler's German CEO really SUCKS at it! You can't understand what he's saying (accent too thick) and you need to use close captioning to figure it out. He's not personable like Iacocca was and he's not a current star like Snoop Dogg is. So why are they using him? Rubbing our face in the fact that the an American car company is anything but - run by Germans who are in it only to rake in profits and screw the workers on the line (what few of them there are left)??? Please - somebody who works there - smack your ad agency around some and get those stupid spots pulled NOW!

[Xipe Totec]

36. Head On - Apply Directly to the Forehead!

Head On - Apply Directly to the Forehead!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

76. Brian Unger is so funny.

:rofl:

[calico1]

38. There are two in particular that give me the creeps:

One is the e-harmony commercial. That e-harmony guy is just very creepy!

The other one that creeps me out is the Terminex commercial with the "talking walls." Eeewww!

[Whoa_Nelly]

39. I hate those Video Professor ads!!!

http://tinyurl.com/hd4ro

[terrya]

40. Yes. Also those Matthew Lesko ads.

I would love to slap Matthew Lesko. Repeatedly. Just for that stupid outfit alone.

[Whoa_Nelly]

42. Ewwww! You are so right!

:puke:

[Phillycat]

41. The one where the fungus flips up the toenail and climbs in

FREAKING GROSS.

[NewWaveChick1981]

47. Bill Maher had a great comment about that one---

He basically said that he didn't need to be freaked out by Tazmanian Devils living under his toenails... :rofl:

[Phillycat]

53. LOL! Exactly! nt

[WritingIsMyReligion]

77. LOL. I actually like that one for some twisted reason.

Now I probably won't, though. ;)

[pinniped]

85. LOL, Digger the Dermatophyte.

I bought a Digger clock on ePay. Cute little guy.

There were two commercials. He kicks the toe and the toenail springs upwards, the other one, he lifts the toenail like he's lifting up the hood of a car.

http://www.slate.com/id/2085432/

[grannylib]

43. haven't seen that one. the ones I hate most are the ones that use

great rock music to peddle their gas-guzzling vehicles.

[Ava]

49. "call goldberg.. 800 - 600 - 6014"

bama people will know what i'm talking about :rofl:

[bertha katzenengel]

51. This is Bob! and ALL commercials hawking stuff for flaccid dicks.

:puke:

I swear, if 10% of the energy and money they invested in finding drugs for erectile dysfunction were put into AIDS research or cancer research, we'd have cures.

:banghead:

[IronLionZion]

52. Ask Dr. Z

because Chrysler vehicles are sooooooo German. CEOs shouldn't be in their company's commercials.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

54. Ooo, have you seen the Patron tequila commercial?

An attractive couple in bed enjoying the after glow.

Thought balloon over his head reads "perfect woman."

Thought balloon over her head reads "perfect one night stand."

That's the worst/greatest alcohol commercial since Billy Dee Williams' "works every time" slogan for malt liquor.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

57. J.G. Whitworth

NEED CASH???

[outofbounds]

58. Is that the one with the

get cash now? where the guy says cash now through his nose?

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

59. You got it!

[outofbounds]

60. like fingernails on a chalk board :)

[Gidney N Cloyd]

75. Bank of Scotland commercials, especially the choking one.

(they run these during Meet the Press so I'm usually ready to gag on my own already)

(and sorry to have submitted this as a reply to whitworth)

[Spaceman Spiff]

62. Those goddam Hardee's comercials!

I'd like to find whoever made those and stick a sheet of cheesy paper up his/her ass!

[crim son]

63. Any commercial with that frickin' horrible

Snuggly Softness Bear. You know, the one for fabric softener. I hate him just a little more than I hate the Pillsbury Dough Boy. And yes, I know some people think the Dough Boys is just adorable. ???????

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

64. Charmin Bears also

Once a week...O.K. not twenty times in one hour!

[crim son]

65. Oh yes. Especially the one where the baby bear

plans to take a dump so HUGE he's worried regular paper won't be enough. Ewwww.

[6000eliot]

80. You can't make wiping your ass cute.

It just grosses me out more.

[Digit]

66. I agree, because my parrot loves the whistling in the commercial

and she starts trying to whistle along with the commercial.
Of course, she can't carry a tune...but I don't tell HER that.

[AzDar]

78. That screeching, bearded, 'Oxy-Clean' dude. I sleep with the

tee-vee on frequently, and am always startled awake by that doofus.

[pinniped]

84. Billy Mays is da man!

Top Billy Mays HATE Post
I am so sick of Billy Mays (if that is is real name) and his monotone shouting that reverberates like a loud fart throughout the whole house. Man what gives with you Billy? Are you constipated? The products are generally pretty sucky and lame such as that orange cleaner or worst of all that pocket car dent puller. What do you care Billy if these products don't work, you're Billy Mays! On every Open Advertising slot on Dish TV. Most of the products are really just a big lie and a rippoff. The cleasner that is supposed to clear up the blue ink right away is an old Houdini trick which was debunked almost 100 years ago. Though he is hardly up to the task, Billy still allows himself to step into the seedy realm of the infamous snake oil salesman and crooked fast talkers of the oldtime medicine shows. Billy looks even more stiff behind the wheel of a vehicle propped-up and screaming scripted psuedo-praises of yet again another badly engineered, D list, bitch ass product. Get off my TV and get a real job Billy! -TW A very Annoyed Dish TV Customer.

[ariesgem]

79. I hate those Barcardi & Cola Commercials

[6000eliot]

81. Those fucking Burger King "I Am Man" commercials

Real men do not use the word "incorrigible." That word is gayer than a clutch purse at the Tony Awards.

[NMMNG]

82. That one by the Arts Council

The family is eating dinner and the parents ask the boy what he did in school that day. He rattles off all the classes he went to making it sound so boring. "I went to this class, then I went to that class, then I went to study hall, then it was lunch time so I ate it....". The parents exchange looks as if to say "GD, how boring". Then one of them says, "Sounds just like yesterday". Next a voice over says, "Arts, ask for more".

I have nothing against arts of course, but this commercial just reinforces the stereotype that learning is boring and undesirable, which is the last thing we want to do in the US at this time.

[pinniped]

83. Concast POS, eharmony annoying POS, geico POS,....

all vonage POS with the worst song I've heard in my life.

50000Xs a day.

[Homer Wells]

86. Head On! Apply directly to your forehead

Head On! Apply directly to your forehead
Head On! Apply directly to your forehead

AGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!:banghead: :banghead: :puke:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

91. I kind of have fun with that one...

figuring out exactly what it does when applied to your forehead...

...suck your brains out?
...give an earthshattering orgasm?
...kill cockroaches?

[CanuckAmok]

87. The one where there's a knock at the door and you think it's the pizza...

...but there's a former heavyweight champ (might be Joe Frazier...I can't tell) who keeps punching you full-on in the face until you agree to buy Snuggle.

[LSdemocrat]

88. Nearly every single Dairy Queen ad for the past 6 months

The one with the guy in labor, the romance trash cover model, and the one on the airplane with the guy eating the other person's ice cream I find incredibly infuriating.
