Are there any commercials out there that due to the people in them, the product it is for, the frequency of its appearance, or something else about it just starts to anger you each time you see it? For me, there are a couple off the top of my head. I'm not sure if these are just shown in our area or not but....
- First of all, a series of Hardees commercials shown around here (not really showing anymore), that was featuring their burger and saying how it was just as good as a sit down restaurant burger, etc. Anyways, the one that especially bothered me was the one about a guy on a construction crew who had to get lunch (since he was the new guy), and brought back Hardees burgers....and the construction crew told him "Hardees? We don't eat Hardees"...then they proceed to try the burgers and tell him he's getting lunch all week.
- The other one that is really bothering me now is a new McDonald's commercial showing around here (for a while now I guess), with four or five guys playing cards and "gambling" using McDonald's fries. The song that accompanies this commercial gets me in the spine :).
How about you, any commercials that annoy you?
-
That McDonalds French Fry poker one is a great one for some of the stupidest dreck I have ever seen. Who the hell is going to play a card game that last 20 minutes to win a plate full of cold ass fries...come on. Then the song on top of it...nice one Brian :)
-
There's this new SUV commercial that's on every 1/2 inning during baseball games where these insufferable little turds keep saying "take me fishing because _________."
It freaked me out pretty bad.
EDIT: And how can I forget the "Las Vegas" commercials series where this guy is in his room asking the front desk for a wake up call then he's like, "uh, can I get it to my cell phone, i'm not sure if I'm going to be in my room tomorrow morning."
Then the screen flashes to "What happens here, stays here."
I do not like what that commercial is promoting at all.
-
The "can you hear me now?" guy has run its course.
-
All Cell Phone commercials have run their course...Catherine Zeta Jones, the Sprint dude, Can you here me Now, the Your In spots
Go away
-
Yeah, but at least CZJ's somewhat good to look at.
-
I can't think of any commercial I don't hate.
-
I've had enough of the NBA "Let's Get It Started" spots, they were old after Game 1 in Round 1, good thing there are 2.5 rounds left :'( :'( :'(
-
Enzyte with "Bob". They run 2 back-to-back for some odd reason, and they're proof positive that women aren't the only ones who society puts "requirements" on to make them feel good about themselves.
Not to mentionn they're F'n annoying after a while... They're all that's on some stations. Comedy Central and Spike play those Enzyte coms religiously I think.
-
Those Orbit gum commercials with the Brit narrator --"Duh-tee mouth?"
Not campy enough to be funny. Yet plenty lame.
-
She's cute though, at least there's a single redeeming feature to them.
Otherwise they're horrible indeed.
Anyone ever catch the Ron Jeremy Infomercial that's on late at night for "male enhancement"? Got a bunch of adult film stars on it and stuff...
Not one I can't STAND since as an infomercial I simply don't watch it, but the concept alone is kind of amusing.
-
ALL Fast Food commercials are "teh suck". I can't decide which are worse: McDonald's (Baby Shower, Poker Game along with terrible music), or Burger King (New ones with the office environment).
I hate just about all car and cell phone commercials.
That's all I got for now.
-
She's cute though, at least there's a single redeeming feature to them.
Yeah, she's cute and she has the accent. ;)
I hate the diamond commercial where the guy is yelling in some public plaza "I LOOOOVE THIS WOMANNNN!!!" and then he gives her the diamond. Lame.
Any commercial that's verrrrry long and isn't a Victoria's Secret commercial (those can be as long as they want)
Valtrex commercials (ok, ok, you've got herpes. How does that affect your ability to canoe and play tennis?)
The entire McDonalds "I'm lovin' it" campaign.
-
Drug commercials that don't tell you what the drug is for...like the Guy who throws the football through the tire
"Please give me the drug so I can throw the football through the tire better"
-
Ok, I've got a new one. Have any of you caught the new "McChicken Selects" commercials from McDonald's? I think there are a few of them that I have seen, usually consisting of someone...mostly all alone with their box of chicken selects, and screaming at everyone to stay away...accompanied with faux karate moves. These commercials have only recently started showing, and I'm already sick of them.
-
Woody commercials (erection inducer med ads, IE Viagra, etc.).
-
Any McDonald's commercial. I'm hatin' em.
-

I don't like how they refer to it as male enhancement. Just say penis enlargement. ::)

I'm starting to hate those Dr. Angus commercials.

If any commercial ever deserved a 4 1/2 old bump, it's the one for Coors Light where the dickheads "talk" to the head coach at a press conference. (Yeah, I know there's more than one. Pick any of them--they all suck.)
Who are the ad wizards who came up with this one? (Seriously, tell me--because I'm going to track them down and kill them.)
-
Prescription drug commercials. Basically if i'm not allowed to buy a product without someone else saying I can, you probably shouldn't be convincing me to try and get it. Its against the law to advertise alcohol, cigarettes and firearms to individuals too young to buy those.... Basically if I was really concerned enough about my RLS, PPRF, SEHU, SERHFG, SEDFHDFYER or RA, I'd ask my doctor (which is what the commercial tells you to do anyway....)

Every now and then one falls flat on its face, but I think about 2/3rds of them are pretty good.
-
The Progressive Insurance girl... While I'd like to see her naked, or perhaps in some sleazy lingerie, that's about the only situation I'd ever want to see her. She's really annoying in those commercials.

I'm with Rob. I like those too. Any chance to see Jim Mora say "Playoffs?!? Playoffs?!?!" over an over again is fine with me.
Now for me, I hate those Gieco commercials with the Cave men. The jingle is catchy but I hate the commercials.

I agree, but would also like to add the Free Credit Report commercials. That John Mayer wannabe needs to be shot.

i liked the 1st few caveman commercials, but it ran its course. i really new hate the money with eyeballs ones though. that is just creepy.

This jackhole bugs the hell out of me. You'd better check it out in the next 20 minutes though, Vince (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns4mnmNBk1Y) can't do this all day. I mean who the hell spends $20 a month on paper towels?
-
I find the caveman commercials subtle in their funny so I actually like them. The whole notion of Cavemen being worldly, suave, playboys... and then getting pissed off and acting like children at every Geico commercial is kinda funny. I think they have some diversity to them too, in the ways they are getting bitchy with girls and at sports events and stuff.
Here's another... $5 footlongs. Some of the scenarios in the commercials creep me out for some reason and remind me of a bad porno's intro to a sex scene... I dunno, it's just odd and the song is annoying. Plus Subway's not as good as Quizno's.
-
This bastard.

I've always HATED MR. OPPORTUNITY more than anything in the entire world, second only to when someone erases with a wooden pencil that has little/no eraser left and the screechy sound it makes. I'm not even kidding, that is the ONE commercial that makes me want to throw an axe at the tv every time it comes on. >:( >:( >:( >:(
If I had pick another commercial I hate, there's this annoying commercial that I've seen a few times watching The Clone Wars where a mother is making Chinese food with her daughter using this recipe thing on the Nintendo DS. Something about the mother's acting combined with the stupid dialog really bugs me. :P
-

Couldn't agree more on that one. I loathe that ******.
I also can't stand the SAVED BY ZERO ad, and the $5 foot long Subway spots.
-
Those Alltel commercials with the animated characters. That freaked me out at Christmas every year when we watched Rudolf and Jack Frost and any other Christmas show with that style of animation - I hate seeing it over and over in commercials. I not only hate it -- it gives me the heebie jeebies.
-
I also can't stand the SAVED BY ZERO ad, and the $5 foot long Subway spots.
I was just about to mention SAAAAAVED BY ZEEERO~!!! because it's shown every other commercial during football games, especially NCAA.
Most Burger King commercials, specifically the Steakhouse Shroom N Swiss one with the stupid Renaissance singers and that weird Mexican guy.
-
There seems to be a lot of concensus on what sucks. I like it.
Does anyone see those old "short" animations around Christmas that are black and white? There's hardrock and cocoa and jo, Suzie Snowflake, and a regular 2-D animated Frosty... I love those... They're always on at odd hours of the night for some reason, but man I miss them if I don't see them before Christmas.
-
The analog-to-digital switch commericals. I hate them.
-
Nuggnuts or anything to do with that god-damned restaraunt. Everysingle person in that company deserves a swift kick in the nuggnuts. >:(
-
The WHopper Virgin commercials are retarded.
-
All Carl's Jr./Hardies commercials.
-
The WHopper Virgin commercials are retarded.
They don't even tell you the results. Most taste tests, if they're successful, they'll say "preferred 2 to 1" or something along those lines. Whopper Virgins just say they preferred the Whopper. Which means the results were probably a lot closer to 49-51 than 67-33.
And who compares the Big Mac to anything these days? The signature burger at McD's is the Quarter Pounder.

Wouldn't it be great if the commercial continued on, and the person who ate the Whopper vomited violently because their stomachs were used to healthier foods, and the shock of American Fast Foods was just too much? A perfect SNL fake commercial I think.
And don't you guys be hatin' on Pittsburgh's own Billy Mayes!
You want to hate?
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3254/2711616881_94fc5bc67e.jpg?v=0)
Hate this dickhead.
And if you want to hate someone even more, hate the guy in the commercial with him giving a testimonial that says, "If you are going to wash any vehicle you'd be crazy not to own one". That guy should be run over by a truck.
-
By the way I can't stop laughing at the Billy Mayes dubs. Fantastic.

One of my friends got his dad a pack of Sham-WOWs as a joke for Christmans this year.
I saw Vince on another commercial not related to Sham-WOWs! the other day and now I can't think of what it is. There really are a bunch of stupid infomercials out at the moment.
Like the Snuggie™ (https://www.getsnuggie.com/flare/next) cult robe sleeveless blanket. The main woman (the one fumbling for the phone in the beginning) looks so utterly pathetic I just want to throw a shoe at her. And is anyone else noticing a lot of the same people seem to be starring in these infomercials? That old guy (who I'd assume to be the Snuggie™ cult leader) is in a few others, including one of those ridiculous sound amplifiers.
I saw another one for some foot mops the other day called Shuffles (https://video.permint.com/pi-player-mkI.swf?mediaid=21). I can't find the exactly video I saw on TV (it was hosted by some annoying ass British guy but other than that this video is about the same.) WORST. IDEA. EVER. Again, I would like to throw a shoe at every person in that commercial, better yet I'd like to throw their own shoes at them when they take them off to put that **** on their feet.
-
Dammit, I knew someone would've gotten that guy already. Sorry Tracy. :(
But at least we hate the same commercials... That says...
well that doesn't say anything I guess, other than that guy is really annoying.
I would buy Shamwow though... :-[
-
Like the Snuggie™ (https://www.getsnuggie.com/flare/next) cult robe sleeveless blanket.
I'm just glad it comes in various colors, that way cults of all types are covered. Plus there is no discriminating against tall cultists, the snuggie can handle cult members up to 8'6"!
-

If that was a joke, I don't see what's so funny about it. It's a fabulous product. Made in Germany. You know the Germans always make good stuff.
-
Schiza films with Cartman's Mom come to mind.
-
Something I'm gonna give a try though, and Billy Mays loves it, is that fabric glue **** he advertises.
I'm thinking the customizing potential to "sew" without actually sewing is intriguing since stitches bulk fabric up at that scale. I'm gonna see how it works and give it a try.
I love Billy Mays and his crap he peddles. His beard's fantastically shaped as well. An outstanding display of grooming.
Mighty Putty worked pretty decent so I owe it to the glue to try it out.

"You're just gonna. . . ******'. . . green-to-white technology is gonna happen. You just put this on, and guess what? ******' Optimus Prime can't even tear this **** off. It's 80,000 pounds of pressure. Mighty Putty action, that's what's happening."

I think that new dunkin' donuts commercial with the TV is ridiculous and the very definition of oxymoron.

I'm beginning to grow very annoyed with the Volkswagen "what the people want" commercials.

I now have a love/hate felling for the McDonalds "Give me back that Filet-O-Fish" commercial. I get a strange kick out of it when watching it. However, then that stupid song gets stuck in my head and I can't get rid of it for hours.

I love this topic. I love to bitch about commercials I hate. Living in Canada, commercial hate comes to a whole other level. I'm pretty sure we have a law, that only the same five actors can work in tv commercials every eight months. With our small population there are only so many commercials we can support at a time let alone actors, so they are played repetitively as all hell. I think all Canadian commercials should be shot with an alternate ending with a ninja jumping in to behead everyone with a sword just to break up the monotony. There was this one campaign for "Whoppers" that really drove me close to the edge.

The new commercial that make me change the channel immediately is the SpungeBob/Burger King commercial. I don't think Ed Wood ever made something that bad.
-
I can't tell if that commercial is marketed towards kids or adults. I like how they dragged Sir Mix a Lot out of the mothballs for that commercial though.
The new commercial I hate is that Wendy's chicken sandwich with the evolving ex-con looking guy. Sure, I'd love to celebrate my new promotion at work and learn how to take care of my pregnant wife, but I MUST EAT MY CHICKEN SANDWICH FIRST
-
Quizno's new ones with the toaster that sounds like HAL from 2001... Creepy as the King.
-
This needed a bump because I can't stand these new Verizon/AT&T commercials fighting over maps. The worst ones are the AT&T ones with Luke Wilson portraying Affable Luke Wilson. But Verizon's are just as lame.
Another "favorite" of mine is the new one with the chick who claims to have lost weight eating at TACO BELL. Jared Fogle and Subway it ain't.
-
I think we've all lost weight eating at Taco Bell, we just don't like to talk about it afterward, and remember why we don't eat at Taco Bell very often.
Locally there is a car dealer who owns franchises around the country, Billy Fucillo, whos tag line is "Its Huuuuge!" Now there is a local pizza place that has ads on the feature a large, heavy set, Italian man who has same the type of sales style, (in the background is a few cars, each car has a pizza, calzones, subs, etc. on the hood) and at the end he says "Its Humongous!". Seriously, imitating a hated commercial?

I'm with you - both of those are annoying as all get out. The TB in particular is such a ridiculous rip off of Subway. Of course you'd lose weight eating more at Taco Bell - the stuff is impossible to digest.

I think the our unified response is something to be proud of. ;D
