8. That sprint one is what I thought of when I saw your post...
a close second would be the Pepto Bismol... basically they're all knocking off the singing ebay commericals.

9. Any local ads with bad jingles
Are these everywhere? Seems like they have the same really bad writers. The tune is basically the same but the words are different. It's the same annoying crap whether it be for a local car dealer, body shop, furniture store, bank, etc...

we flip the stations, we find she is simulataneously on about 5 at once.

22. I don't know WHY these bother me
but the woman talking about her "man" taking Levitra. She keeps saying "my man" and "the performance he needs" and shit like that.

I absolutely cannot put my finger on what it is that makes me want to claw my face when that commercial comes on. Her smarmy facial expression the whole time? The insinuation that he has a day-long woody? (Yeah right.)

dunno. bugs me.

Maybe because a lot of health insurance companies still don't cover birth control pills but they'll cover THIS.

24. A tie
I hate Hootie & the Blowfish and that one car company used their stupid song in it, and played the commercial FIVE MILLION TIMES.

The other one I hate is another car commercial. Some yuppie couple in an SUV or something asks for directions in some vaguely New Orleans place. The reason I hate it so bad is it just feels so freaking racist, the old black man that helps them tells them these wacked out directions in a really old-timey stereotypical voice. The only way it could be more offensive is if he shucked jived and ate some watermelon.

26. any ad that uses kids-to sell a non-kid product.
Edited on Mon Sep-13-04 08:59 PM by mlle_chatte
it pisses me off. plus i find the kids they use in those ads to be annoying. usually they are local ads...local whipped car dealer uses the unnatractive fruit of his loins to hawk Toyatas at wife's insistance (i always imagine), that sort of thing.
a furniture place in this area called the oak barn included the owner and a group of kids jumping at the end yelling "At the 'Oak Barn' WE SAVE YOU MONEY!" for years. Gack! thank god it was so unsuccessful, the biz went t.u.

Nationally, the Welch's Grape juice child actors are beyond annoying. to me. Actually, i hate the very sight of them.

27. Besides anything with Shrub in it,
I have a few I find incredibly irritating.

First are the Bounty ones. "BOUNTY! The Quilted Quicker Picker-Upper!" Just shoot me now. Then that Acura commercial with the woman going "Aaaaa aaaa aaa!" over and over.

Oh, and now somebody got the brilliant idea to put advertisements along the bottom of the screen DURING the program. I especially hate networks that promote their shows/movies the same way. Like TBS and "We know Drama," with an ad for the next movie they're showing.

29. Viagra with the "V" as horns
Mr "I can't get enough" or whatever.
I have to mute the TV and turn away.
His expression is the biggest turnoff I ever endured.

34. Foreign Motors
I can't remember the name of the idiot who runs the place but he is by far the most annoying freak I've ever seen. Any and all of his ads are ridiculously stupid. If his was the only car dealership in the entire state, I would gladly go out of state to buy my next car.

Everyone associated with these commercials should be ashamed of themselves.
