What commercials out there do you really hate?

You know those commercials, they're either offensive, overplayed, annoying, or a waste of time. Out of all of them, which ones really made you want to put a bullet into the TV?

Any of the Belle Tire commercials. I hate that whiny bitch they've got on them and they all sounds the same. There's nothing fun or cute about them. They're dull and uninteresting.

The verzion can you here me now guy...I want to crack out my BlasTech AR-285 Sniper rifle and pick that guy off from 500+ meters and those zoom...zoom commerical with the zoom zoom kid, and Carrot Top I would kill at 1000+ meters so I don't have to really look at that red-headed stepchild who grows uglier by the moment

<Sets up the AR-285 on a Tripod, finds the verizon guy, still trying to get the guy to here him now, look into the scope, squeezs the trigger and blasts in half with a powerful plasma burst> Can you here that now

I'm Mike_6002, and that my two cents

The new Sam Adams Light commercials.

I'm sure people in the UK will agree the Lombard Direct advert with the talking telephone is extremely annoying, it was on TV when I started secondary school and its still on now, thats 7 years in which it has remained completely unchanged. It's also repeated an excessive ammount which adds insult to injury...

The new 7UP commercials. The old ones were great, spawning such quotes as "Make 7, Up Yours!". But this new crap sickens me, esp. the one where he's talking about sponsoring youth hockey.

I hate that Estee lauder commercial where that fake-looking woman is standing there in a wedding gown looking stupid while a little girl smiles at her.
It ain't realy stupid, but I find that woman annying, even though she doesn't talk. That dumb look ahe has on her face reminds me of a certain troll....

Geico commercials have been known to make me

and groan, especially the recent ones.

Geico, Verizon, red-headed Collect ads

Furniture store commercials, especially around Xmas when they have the Xmas themed ones. They're part of the reason I don't watch TV anymore other than the weather reports.

currently 1-800-COLLECT ads.

Oh why has no one killed Carrot Top?!

For all those who have ever driven through the American state of Connetect will have witnessed THE Most Annoying Comercia's on the Planet

I speak of...

BOB'S DISCOUNT FORUNITUE STORES
Take the most annoying little man you know, clone him, then breed more annyoingness into him until his voice is enough to make the Dali Lama Drop kick somone then add in idiot music and typical annoying lines in a Furniture add

And you have the pure essance of annoyingness

To date Mr Bob has been assulted in his stories three times over said annoying comerica'ls and he has yet to cease thier production, Strangly enough he's highly succesful from people wanting funriture from this evil evil annyoing man

And yes the price are to die for DAMN THAT LITTLE MAN HE'S RIGHT AND ITS ALL THE WORSE FOR IT!

I hate whichever department store (maybe J.C. Penney's?) has the kid at home, making a mess, and the father saying, "Where is your mother?" and she's off shopping at some one-day sale. Like he can't clean up the mess himself? Or like women are always out shopping? Grrrrrr.

I despise ALL Old Navy commercials. They're fucking retarded.

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.

Heh....I like the girl in the Glad Lock commercials...despite her ear drum shattering squeaky voice!

I dislike all of the 1-800 COLLECT/ATT/10-10-321 adds.

I also don't like the "drink responsibly" commercials that the beer companies are putting on, now. One of my fellow editors, when seeing a Miller Light add, said it best: "That is a socially irresponsible advertisement."

Are you insulting the company that deigns to shell out a few denarii every other week for me? If so then you can join the ranks of every single Penney's employee in the region. I love my store but God I can hate my company.

Oh yes and (in order from worst to not as worst)
Sam Adams Light
Is there anything more annoying than some shmuck just shouting at the top of his lungs for no fucking reason? Yes..he can do it more than once in the same damn ad.

Jim Coleman Honda
You'd have o be a Balt-Wash area resident to see them but its the middle of fucking winter (well late fall at least) and they have ads running with a "lets go to the beach" theme. I'm sorry but the sight of a cardboard cutout fat guy in a swimsuit doesn't make me want to buy cars...it makes me want to vomit.

1-800-CALL-ATT

Someone just shoot Carrot Top and put us out of our misery.

I'd post a commercial, but you guys wouldn't have seen it so it would be pointless. So I'll just post to up my post count

TrailerParkJawa · Post by **TrailerParkJawa** » 2002-12-06 12:43am

I hate commercials that try to make you feel bad if you dont have a GO-GO-GO-GO life. You are so busy you dont have time to comb your hair! How could you possibly take care of your children. With the new mobile, wireless, tv dinner of course!

Post by **Dalton** » 2002-12-06 01:18am

I'll have to concur with MoO here. What really gets me about those ads is how they scam you. "Oh yeah, 99 cents for the first 20 minutes!" What they DON'T say is that even a two-minute call costs 99 cents.

TrailerParkJawa · Post by **TrailerParkJawa** » 2002-12-06 01:24am

I hate those line splitter commericals on TechTV. The ones that show people not getting calls beause they are on the internet.

I hate cooking informercials that make boiling water look to damn hard unless you have their special pot. Uh...I think there is a waffle commercial out there for some special waffle iron.

One of my buddies got one of the special hamburger cookers, looks like a waffle iron of sorts, it does cook hamburgers twice as fast. But since you cant get the machine wet, ie no dishwasher or sink, it takes longer to wash it than, if you just use a regular pan.

Post by **Dalton** » 2002-12-06 01:25am

Goddamn infomercials. WTF, a colander too good for you?

Johonebesus · Post by **Johonebesus** » 2002-12-06 03:01am

Not as bad as some of the ones already mentioned (I hate Old Navy), but those animated toilette paper commercials. I don't care if they are cute cartoon bears, I don't want to watch them taking a dump and wiping their rear ends.

neoolong · Post by **neoolong** » 2002-12-06 03:17am

The Old Navy/Gap/Banana Republic, I forget which, commercial line that had that chick saying "You gotta get this look." Damnably annoying despite the chick being good looking. That line is just fucking annoying.
