What commercials out there do you really hate?

Old Fucking Navy! I hated ALL their commercials!

Two spring to mind:
The first one is Chrystler's (thankfully diminishing) Drive=Love campaign. That just seems so...neh, I don't have the right word for it even. But it involves shiting blood in some way or other.

The other is for a local used car company where the owner's friend or someone is dressed in really bad drag and doing something stupid.

Okay, I'm looking over this post and it is SO time for sleep... Later.

I hate those commercials for feminine hygeine products. They're on all the time, and they're damn annoying. As a man, I don't give a shit about periods, yeast infections, vaginal itching, or any of that stuff, and I don't see how women would go on TV and talk about it. They all must die!

As mentioned before, Old Navy commercials are annoying as hell, but GAP commercials are even more annoying. Target comercials make the annoying list as well.

And then, there are those kid's underwear commercials. "Mommy, I wear big boy underwear!". Ugh.

Old Navy hate that stupid annoying lady
and those bell commerials that says "go" at the end.
I everytime I heard it I want to kill someone.

McDonald's and those lipstick commerials are also moving up on my hate list.

1-800-CALL-ATT. Why do they keep using Carrot Top? He's not funny. He's not even Jar Jar funny!
The GAP conglomerate commercials really piss me off.

Local car dealership: This is why a budget is so important

Hotels.com: Ugly actors, bad acting

I hate any commercial for a phone or phone service

Post by **Dalton** » 2002-12-08 03:02am

Exercise or diet commercials where the promoter drops their name as if they're famous.

Post by **Dalton** » 2002-12-08 03:04am

Oh, and crappy local commercials with low production value that could have been done twelve times better on a college box with Premiere. I also hate it when said local commercials and infomercials use the star flash/lens flare in combination with the tingle/magic wand sound effect. Argh...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the "truth" commercials yet. I mean, come on. "This is a memo from such and such tobacco company in 1963, and it says that they knew nictotine was addictive."

Really? Could you perhaps give us a copy of that memo? How can we be sure it's not a blank sheet of paper? Is there a signature on it? Is there any way of verifying your claims? How did you get a hold of this mysterious, completely nondescript memo? Any answers?

Definately, the new old navy "family feud" wannabe commercial is at the top of the list. Could you get anymore fake??
For the New York people, Jim "The hammer" shapiro really gets on my nerves as does any car commercial where the volume on the TV goes up about ten notches.
I have to agree that I don't like feminine product commercials either. It is gross to hear about someone's itching or whatnot. And being a girl also I don't like the "girls gone wild" commercials... where is "guys gone wild"??
Plus what if you were one of those girls and your parents saw you on tv?
Actually, I think SNL had that situation.

My reply to some of their stunts:

"Hey, get the fuck off our property.....or else."

"Or else what?"

*Bashes in fucktard's head with a truncheon*

"Or else THAT happens."

Remember those Danimals commercials? If I wanted something that was on a high shelf, I'd call a parent, or get a chair. I don't want gay animated ceratures making a mess.

On the topic of yogurt, I hate Go-Gurt commercials. Dude, lose the spoon... and your taste buds!

I suddenly realized a whole CATEGORY I hate:

Perscription Drug Commercials

"...ask your doctor if Zocorenadril is right for you..."
WHY? Why the fuck do i need to ask my doctor fi I shoudl be getting this medicine? Do you idiots have any idea what medical conditions I have? I mean half these ads are for things like urinary infection medicines...christ at least fucking tell us what the medicine is suppossed to do. I mean you watch the ads and maybe i have a condition that the medicine could treat...I wouldn't kow it because th damn ad just tells me to ask my doctor without ever explaining what I will be discussing. God do these ads piss me off.

beyond hope · Post by **beyond hope** » 2002-12-08 11:21pm

Pop-up ads, and the related and even *more* annoying cousin the pop-under ad. I haven't watched TV in so long that most commercials would probably seem new to me.

Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi · Post by **Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi** » 2002-12-09 04:22pm

On the topic of perscription drugs, I hate it when they act like it will work perfectly, but spend half the commercial listing side effects.

Also, I hate campaign ads. Good thing we won't be seeing any of them for another year and a half.

Jadeite · Post by **Jadeite** » 2002-12-09 07:56pm

And while they were showing it, I absolutely hated that fucking 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse commercial with that stupid chick doing that lame assed "pop-lock" club dance. That godawful spastic movement...and that fucking blank stare/retard look that kept popping up on her face.....I just wanted to slap her through the damn TV.

Actually, I didnt mind that one. The commercials that really annoy are when some store is too cheap assed to hire a proper ad company, and gets people with absolutely no acting talent whatsoever, shitty effects, all filmed on some damned home movie recorder! Grr, those make me want to take a baseball bat to their shitty faces.
