If I see one more commercial for E.D. or some other product that deals with the male 'member' being to small (BOB!) or too soft (Viva Viagra) or what ever else could be wrong with it.
Last thing I want to do is to explain to my young daughters what E.D. is ...

"Daddy what erectile dysfunction?"
"Nothing you or I need to worry about."

OM F' G.

I just saw an AFLACK commercial -- where they're using the characters from the old Rankin & Bass Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer.

Ugh. Must everything be reduced to being used to sell stuff? Washington, Lincoln, and now Rudolph?

There is this one commercial that I hate with all my heart. There is this car dealership in Central PA that has radio ads and a few TV ads. The song is annoying and the people who sing in the radio ads are just awful. They also did the same thing for TV except they have a bunch of kids singing it, with cute look teenage females, but that's it. I HATE so much, that if I just start hearing the ad, I either turn off the radio or turn the channel.

The other ads that get to me. Hearing about Genital Warts. It's bad enough that you have them, but do you really have to come on National Television and let people know.

Medical problems ads, ads about medical procedures, (Especially Gastric bypass surgery). To me it's the easy way out for weight loss, which to me the easy way out is not always the option I choose to do.

Alright ladies and gents...a classic awful commercial which I actually have a comical soft spot for why you may ask?

I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP!!!

That's a wonderfully awful commercial!
Tidbit: I met the actor who played the Lifecall responder who states: "We're sending help immediately, Mrs. Fletcher...!" Interestingly, he told me had done a bit part on "Murder She Wrote," and was left without a name for his line in the commercial, so he used the first name that came to mind... Jessica "FLETCHER !"

I like all GEICO ads (even the "cavemen") which is like a breakthrough or revelation for me (being sort of religiously against all commercials) but I can't bear to look at that "Cavemen" TV program.

Debbie Meyer's and her goofy green bags is fast claiming my list of annoying commercials. She is getting close to Billy Mays and his hack products pitches.

Hey Debbie don't buy more fruits and veggies then you can eat in a reasonable amount of time.

The original HEAD ON is clearly the all time winner in my book.

Did anyone see the version of this one where the guy pops up saying "I HATE YOUR COMMERCIALS BUT YOUR PRODUCTS WORK"?

I've seen it, but I haven't heard it because soon as commercials come on I hit the mute button if at all possible.

Mr. DS · November 13, 2007, 10:09:45 PM

yeah the guy is twice as annoying as the girl who pops up

316zombie · November 17, 2007, 04:59:10 PM

definitely!!

I hate any commercials that use diseases or any form of sickness to sell their product.

"Buy this pink cell phone and support women with breast cancer." As opposed to just being a good person and donating money.

"Buy this hybrid car and save the planet." I'm all for hybrid cars and environmentalism, but how about saving water and electricity? Most power plants in the US still run on oil or coal.

I also hate the new anti-drug commercials. They were originally designed to show how bad Cannabis is for you, then new research shows it's not really that bad. Now they try to guilt rid you into not doing them.
-The old lady sitting at the dinner table with lots of food-"Just tell her you were too busy getting high."
-The kid sitting on the front steps with his friends-"Will he ever leave where he's sitting"

Thought I'd bump this thread because I'm really starting to detest the freecreditreport.com ads.

They were nice when they first aired and the song's catchy...
But when I can't go a single commercial break without seeing it...
AAAHHHH!!!!

Mr. DS · February 27, 2008, 06:32:15 AM

I'm glad this thred is back up. I detest any and all jewlery commercials during Xmas and Valentines Day period. They're engineered to make women everywhere look at their man and say "Why can't you be like that".

I don't necessarily hate this commercial, but does the pizza actually look delicious to you?
It looks like an inch or more of crust with a razor thin layer of cheese and toppings on top.
I want to see loads of melted cheese just oozing off pizza! Not something that looks like what I buy from the frozen food section of my local grocery store.

We have a CiCi's here in town. I've never been there and don't really want to if their pizza looks like that.
