Commercials that bug the crap out of you.

[Pacifist Patriot]

Being sick makes me appreciate being well enough not to watch television.

What mother in her right mind flips on the light and starts playing with her baby in the middle of the night looking like she's gotten ten hours of hard sleep in a row? Huggies is crazy!

And if I see that woman shake meat on her salad to a catchy tune one more time I'll hurl. Must they play that every commercial break? Her friend looks like she wants to reach over and bitch slap her. I wish she would, just once.

[NightWatcher]

1. Two Words.....Head On

[AirmensMom]

9. Noooooooooo!

:banghead: I had forgotten about that one until you mentioned it. How annoying! There's nothing on this earth that would induce me to buy that! We've been lucky enough not to see that commercial for a long time.

:hi:

[Kat45]

42. I have NEVER seen the "Head On" commercial.

I guess I should consider myself lucky?

[AirmensMom]

74. Yes!

VERY lucky!

[Pushed To The Left]

43. You might like the new version. They have people saying how much they hate the commercial but how

much they like the product. "I hate that commercial!! But your product is amazing!!" I guess they are sort of making fun of themselves.

[AirmensMom]

73. I have seen it.

Can't stand that one, either.

[taterguy]

2. The prescription drug ad with a Who song

Keith Moon died from an inappropriate prescription. I tolerate the Hummer ads with the Who song since I concede that Moon probably would have owned a Hummer if he lived that long.

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. Yoplait

"She wore an itsy-bitsy, teenie-weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini that she wore for the first time today..."

:grr:

[trof]

4. "Looka meeee! I'm a TEW!"

Some kinda diet pill crap.

ANY commercial with a screaming Aussie in it.
Or a screaming Brit.
Or the body builder guy with the long blond ponytail sticking out the back of his baseball cap.
Local car dealers who do their own commercials.

[Left Is Write]

32. It's actually for NutriSystem (not a pill), but that woman's perkiness...

makes me want to throw the TV out the window.

And I'm a pretty nonviolent person.

[trof]

70. I guess that shows how (in)effective the commercial is.

I couldn't even remember what they were selling.

[grannylib]

59. Ahhh, man, that chick drives me CRAZY!!

Any ad with a too-cute kid.
Any ad by a mega-billion-dollar oil company trying to be 'green.'

[SharonRB]

82. That's the one that bugs me everytime I see it

[texas1928]

5. That Quizno commercial about the prime rib sandwich.

The woman who likes because it has a lot of meat and that is what a woman needs. And then she does this laugh, that is just creepy.

[Omphaloskepsis]

10. That is the first one I thought of...

I fucking hate it.

[Book Lover]

11. Just what I was going to say!

Lady, you are not saucy!

[dropkickpa]

28. Haha funny thing

Quiznos all over Pittsburgh have been closing. Why? I think it may be trhe fact that their big thing was they toast your sandwich. Um, DUH, we call that hoagie here and every single pizza shop in the metro area does it. Idiots.

[blondeatlast]

39. That's my latest "kill my tv" spot. GRRRRRRRR! nt

[jakefrep]

41. It's an improvement over the talking baby,

Those ads were just plain creepy.

[live love laugh]

49. .

[Maddy McCall]

6. Any talking baby commercial. Love the subs, hate the baby.

[Zavulon]

13. I second this and extend it to kids who are really young but no longer babies.

There are a few exceptions, but for the most part "little child" does not automatically mean "cute" to me.

[Zavulon]

14. Delete

I meant to post this in response to the OP, not to my own post.

[LisaM]

7. The last batch of VW ads

Where they all are yapping away and then they all get in accidents. Also, the Nitro ads.

[femmocrat]

27. Was that the one with some idiot yelling, "My Daddy never loved me?" -- I hated that one!

[LisaM]

33. No, I don't think so

in one there's two guys in a car driving down the street arguing "you say this!" "No I don't!" "Yes you do!" and then a truck comes out from behind a hedge and sideswipes them (it sounds funny here, but it's actually kind of scary). Then there is another one where four youngish people have just left a movie and they're arguing about whether the guy driving was crying or not. In this instance, they are sideswiped at an intersection. In both, they are next seen all gathered around shaking, and they say, "Holy S----" and then the ad says "Stuff happens".

They are even worse than the VW ad where the guy runs over to a car and licks it so that other potential customers won't buy it.

[unpossibles]

8. the pizza commercial with the guys with large nose/chin/eye/ears

creepy. I had a friend who got grossed out by belly buttons and she could not watch the singing bellybutton commercials a few years ago.

I generally hate most ads and mute the TV when they come on.

[Nicole]

12. The battle of the blondes and brunettes

in some hair care commercial. Sunsilk I think.

It's the same old stereotypes, blondes are prettier, brunettes are smarter.

It's not a product I've tried before. I certainly won't now.

[Skittles]

55. "hey blondes, guess you'll have to buy shorter skirts now"

:puke:

[Nicole]

62. "sorry brunettes, at least your moms think you're pretty"

:puke:

Who the hell thought these commercials were a good idea? :mad:

[deadparrot]

15. Head On...

and that one car commercial where the salespeople are waving goodbye to the cars while singing "So Long, Farewell," from The Sound of Music.

[graywarrior]

16. All. Of. Them.

[Zavulon]

17. I don't even know what this commercial is for

because I mute it as soon as it comes on, but it's people dressed in white, white background, and they're dancing while singing "Anything you can do, I can do better...".

Bugs the shit out of me.

[LisaM]

20. Thanks, I had to replay that whole ad in my head

I think it's for ugly pants from The Gap.

[Zavulon]

21. Oh, man, I'm sorry.

I don't even know you and you must hate my guts right now. Nobody deserves the agony you just went through for me :(

Thanks, and mea culpa :)

[LisaM]

25. Well at least we're both Original Sixers

and we hate the Gap ads. It's okay!

BTW, ever read the book "The Hockey Sweater"? I buy copies every time I go to Canada.

[Zavulon]

72. Sure have. The author is a Leafs fan.

Kidding. :)

[JitterbugPerfume]

18. My husband jokingly calls me his trophy wife

:grr: :wtf: She is actually PROUD of being a brainless trophy


Nutra system is such a scam. Those bimbos lack the common sense to plan their own low calorie meals

[Ariana Celeste]

19. Subway commercials

Jared just really gets under my skin. Subway commercials have caused me to throw things at the tv

[Zavulon]

22. You know, Jared makes me rethink my stance on the death penalty.

Did you see the one where he's thinking to himself "Wow, how great it to be alone here in Subway with my favorite Subway sandwich," and 20 seconds later thinks to himself "I wonder if anyone wants to talk subs?"

TALK SUBS?

I'm not a violent guy, but if a stranger ever interrupted my lunch and asked if I want to "talk subs," I'd throw him through a fucking window.

TALK SUBS?

Jared needs to be exiled at the very least.

[Ariana Celeste]

23. no shit

if i'm eating, stay the hell away.

[Norwood]

24. Any and all Geico commercials

[Left Is Write]

29. What? Having Geico makes me less of a caveman?

[MAGICBULLET]

77. they MAY have their own sit-com

so get ready!

<http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9075944>

[femmocrat]

26. "Woh-oh, Office Depot. Woh-oh" That ditty makes me batty.

I also hate the ones for Marriott Suites: "for the clutch players" and "rest well my liege" on the "finest linens," blah blah. Augh!!!

Have you ever noticed that MSNBC has the most repetitiously annoying commercials?

[cloudbase]

30. Whatever the hell they're advertising

with that damned animated bee.

[Left Is Write]

31. Nasonex.

Nasonex!

I can't stand that ad either. It gets stuck in my head.

[blondeatlast]

40. I've got a suggestion for a destination for the bee.

The ad creator's painful sinuses...

[doc03]

34. Those animated Charles Schwab commercials and the

ING commercials.

[Control-Z]

35. 1 800 DENTIST

Get me an effing gun! I'll shoot my own TV.

[rhiannon55]

36. Smilin' Bob creeps me out

you know, the guy with the drug-induced woody.

Eeeewwwww! I can't hear or see that commercial without twitching.

[SacredCow]

38. Yeah....

They must have switched his "natural male enhancement" pill with a solid form of NO or something....

[Oeditpus Rex]

64. Smilin' Bob makes me laugh

That whole campaign is like, "Sure, this ad is silly. But everybody makes junior-high jokes about jacking up their yoo-hoo, so we figured we might as well play along."





:D

[Deja Q]

37. The brat whispering 'zoom zoom' deserves an award, but they're all patronizing and misleading

(or include any details we ought to know about in the microprint...)

[Ediacara]

44. Boniva, Enzyte, Nexium, Requip

"Restless Leg Syndrome, a recognized medical condition"

[Skittles]

56. that woman doing the crossword puzzle while sporting a smug grin

c r e e p y

[Ediacara]

45. Oh, and the Montana Meth Project ads

They're for a good thing, I realize, but they're nonstop here. Constant. And full of screaming.

[opiate69]

46. Not TV, but there's a radio ad that the local Progresive talk station plays all the time...

make me want to kill things.. "Lifeline Screening"..

[SeattleGirl]

47. Argh! I hate that one too!

"The. physician. said. It. saved. your. life." Blech!

[opiate69]

51. Isn't it just awful??

The over-dramatic delivery... hell, their voices alone make me want to stick sharp instruments into my inner ear

[reyd reid reed]

48. Mucinex

That's just disgusting.

:scared:

[AwakeAtLast]

80. That one actually makes me nauseous

Double :scared: and a dash of :puke:

[live love laugh]

50. The commercial where this fat lady has had weight loss surgery

Lap band surgery...and she walks around like a zombie, she drinks something from the refrigerator, looks in mirror and then goes outside...oh and there's a lion walking around in the house. It's just weird.

[Skittles]

57. and she still looks way overweight too

seriously

[ganeshji]

52. I'm thinking of a number...

It's for free credit report or something like that. Why is he talking to me like he knows me?

[texas1928]

71. I just want to punch that guys lights out.

Smug little bastard... "Mine is 720"... I can't stand that guy.

[mykpart]

53. Look! Sponge Bob No Pants!

I don't know what the product is, but it's not an ad for the show. Some guy standing naked with a yellow sponge on his head saying, "Get it? Sponge Bob No Pants!"

[WillParkinson]

63. It's Burger King...

I just saw it tonight. VERY weird.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

54. Greyhound radio ads on Air America

pure fucking torture

[Starbucks Anarchist]

58. The phone commercial with the guy at the gym.

Re; Fall Out Boy, "IT... GETS... ME... PUMPED!" :eyes:

[Initech]

61. I hate that damn commercial!

:argh:

[Initech]

60. All of them

[TreasonousBastard]

65. There's so many that creep me out...

BK's King is just too weird.

Anything with a clod, doofus, or jerk-- that asshole walking into things while drinking his soup, the other schmuck crunching his cereal in the office, and a special voodoo doll for KFC's Annoying Man-- "You gonna eat that drumstick?"

[SKKY]

66. There was a Wendy's commercial that had a bunch of Canadian..

...hockey players in it. One guy said, "Aw for the love of Pete." I always wondered who Pete was.

[NC_Nurse]

67. Viagra, cialis, levitra...

gimme a fuckin' break! :eyes:

[taterguy]

68. That's what they're selling

Something to help when the thing you fuck with breaks :)

[Beausoir]

75. Hate them. "When your sleeping beauty isn't in the mood...."

And the list of side effects makes me sick to my stomach.

[PVnRT]

69. The "turn in people anonymously for cable theft" shit

freecable doubleplus ungood unperson fullwise immediate

[tk2kewl]

78. toothpaste that claims to leave your mouth feeling like you just left the dentists office

:wtf: My mouth is usually sore and bloody when I leave the dentist.

[jakefrep]

79. Any anti-smoking ad populated with smug teeny-boppers

Here in Ohio we get "Stand Up and Speak Out Against Tobacco!" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean). I've been sorely tempted to take up smoking out of spite.

[gravity]

81. Apply directly to the forehead

Apply directly to the forehead

Apply directly to the forehead

[AwakeAtLast]

83. "Dead puppies, dead puppies!"

Kleenex commercial. x(
