What celebrity product endorsements have irritated or upset you?
Advertisements [?]


Or disappointed you?

Was talking about this in another thread, and thought it might get some traction as an original post.

I haven't watched 30Rock b/c Tina Fey's American Express commercial pissed me off. The commercial itself seemed so self-satisfied with its cleverness, and I just don't like credit card companies.

Patrick Stewart's voice over for one of big Pharma's meds (don't remember which). Really disappointed me, I like Patrick Stewart and it seemed he had no integrity.

Sting singing for Jaguar = ridiculous.

John Boy for Mercedes = irritating.

Now, William Shatner for Priceline cracks me up. I have no problem with it at all.

Nor does James Spader's voice over for Acura bug me in the slightest.

I fully realize these irritations of mine may be quite petty, but there you go.

How about you? Any endorsement irk you more than others? :hi:
