Car ads annoy me. Especially all the ones that have disclaimers saying either not to do what's being shown or that the company does not endorse them driving methods. So it’s a bad idea but you'll use it to push your crappy car? I'll start liking car adds when they show the competition being smashed with a 4000 ton freight train.

Ads involving cliches. I'm not much for narrowing things down :wink:

Do you not believe in Thor, the Viking Thunder God? If not, then do you consider your state of disbelief in Thor to be a religion? Are you an AThorist?-Darth Wong on Atheism as a religion

Ads about medicine in which if you aren't informed about them because A. They're either new or B. You just never heard of them....NEVER FUCKING TELL YOU WHAT THEY DO FOR YOU!!! *Although there are some that do....maybe one....that's all*~Jason
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Speaking of medicine ads, I find it funny that there are all of those commercials that say "4 out of 5 doctors prefer our medication for the same illness". And then, there are those commercials that spend half the time detailing the side effects. One said "Serious infections may occur, some fatal...", for example.
