Nomination, this year's most annoying xmas commercial, Verizon's Carol of the Bells

[UTUSN]

Not to be confused with Hershey's classic version or even Walmart's dignified version. This thing is hammered out frenetically and has been hammering since before Thanksgiving:

[Mad_Dem_X]

1. Agreed - very annoying!

[UTUSN]

2. Thanks for the backup!

[debm55]

3. Yes---too intense

[Chipper Chat]

4. I lunge for the remote when it comes on.

It's like nails on a chalkboard.

[Niagara]

5. Absolutely!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

6. 30 seconds too long, even if it wasn't shitty verizon.

[gratuitous]

7. Agreed

I detest the assaultive "Carol of the Bells," in fact I detest most Christmas music. There's a local station that plays nothing but Christmas music and they start earlier and earlier every year. This year they started in with the Christmas music on or around November 1.

In the history of humanity, there has been about four hours' worth of Christmas songs written. That means you get to hear the same fucking song six times a day in various iterations. I know it's not poor Burl Ives' fault that his goddam song gets played to death again every December, but I still have the impulse to take an asparagus-laden piss on his grave.

11. It's the Romans' fault - they had their 17 days' Saturnalia at the same season. But wilder!

And I relate to the outsider syndrome that people of other beliefs go through.

8. Hate it. Hate it so much that I didn't even know what was advertised.

9. My Nomination

The Home Alone commercial with Kevin Hart. Unbelievably annoying. Oddly, the Verizon commercial doesn’t bother me that much.

10. Yes but it's bound to get worse...

We still have two weeks to go.
