What Commercials do you hate?

[pineappleguy]

I came downstairs today and the first thing I heard on the TV was the sound of an animated gecko singing Kung Fu Fighting and I thought, "Someone probably got paid good money for putting that trash on TV." It got me to thinking, there are a LOT of commercials that I find revolting, offensive to my intelligence, or just plain stupid. Of course, my "top 10" list of most hated commercials changes rapidly over time, but right now, the top 2 would be:

- The Six Flags "fake" old guy dancing all over the screen

- The Quiznos "sprong monkeys"

I have more, but there are so many, I'll have to think about it to narrow it down to a top 10 list.

What are some of yours?

 

[Alucard]

all of them ?

There's this headache medicine commercial - basically the gist of it is that you can take Asprin (or some fucking thing) for your heart and pain at the same time.

The problem is, they've got this violin playing some God-awful modern out-of-tune screeching riff (and I say this as someone who genuinely likes modern classical music) that sounds like Alban Berg skinning a cat with a chainsaw.

I mean, the fucking commerical is for Aspirin, and they're trying to give you a headache! How low is that!

...every last friggin one... thinly veiled attempts at separating me from my money.

I hate the Alexander Keith commercial. The guy in the kilt barking and complaining is extremely annoying.

 

[drlove]

The one where the godamn cell phone won't stop ringing! Reminds me too much of work...

 

[The Bandit]

The ones on the radio for Grosch .....

I typically hate those stupid (usually American, hate to stereotype, but it seems more prevalent there) commercials that personify things from dogs to cars to mops, poptarts, etc. They're just so inane. They obviously don't attribute any intelligence to the viewer.

On the other hand, beer commercials (Bud Light, Labatt's Blue) are usually amusing.

the native indian peddling some pain medicine

Are you gellin?...

This commercial bugs me to no end

 

[Asterix]

Ads for presidential candidates that are now required to repeat ad nauseam, "I approved of this message".

 

[Big Yellow]

The stupid Canadian Tire family commercials. You too can have a perfect home complete with stupid neighbor if you shop at canadian tire.

I don't watch a lot of TV, but there are several radio ads that bother me. Lord God King of them all is any ad for Canada's Wonderland. Every year I have to endure either an annoying jingle, a bratty kid or some other stupid concept they have come up with, from April until October. They almost make me dread summer.

On the other hand, the Bud Light Institute ads are hilarious. I particularly like the permanently steaming cup of coffee.

As either Nigel Tufnel or David St Hubbins of Spinal Tap said: "it's such a fine line between stupid and clever."

 

[Mr.lover]

the one on the fucking radio with the guy crying or laughing continously.. just want to bitch slap him stupid!!!!!!!!!!!! getting annoyed no as i hear him arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggg

moreover, i don't even remember what the fuck the ad was all about.. so talk about a waste of ad money!!!!!! if it were me i would have fired the manager who authorized that one!!

all i remember is that it was annoying so i flip radio stations as soon as i hear the idiot!

1. Anyone remember the commercial for Dupont carpet that had the baby crying uncontrollably? Until the baby gets put down on the "soft" carpet. They actually changed the cry because it was too disturbing at first.

2. I want to hunt down and shoot the Canadian Tire family...

3. I actually like the Six Flags old-guy commercial. I get the farking song in my head for hours after seeing it, though.

The Valtrex commercials. Okay, so they put a pretty good looking broad on and then announce that she has herpes. WTF? I look at her and think, "hey, she's alright", then she has herpes and I think, "man, what a damn shame".

Oh, and all the NBA Finals commercials where it's mostly about the Lakers even though the Pistons have been royally kicking their ass all over the court. Even in the loss, the Pistons could have won that game. And I know that this isn't a commercial, but that dildo Doc Rivers on the Finals coverage. The way he acts, you'd think the Lakers were up 3 - 0 and were ready to clinch the series. Friggin' dildo.

 

[Goober Mcfly]

Oh, I forgot these ones:

4. "Ask your doctor if Cocktrex™ is for you!" Well, I would if you would tell me WHAT THE FARK IT TREATS! What the fark do you want me to do, call my doctor up every week with a list of these new drugs? I can see the conversation now:

*RING*
Doctor: Hello?
Goober: Hey Doc, it's Goober McFly.
Doctor: Hello Goober. *sigh* What is it this week?
Goober: A short list. Only 6 this time.
Doctor: Oh joy.
Goober: Pardon?
Doctor: Oh, nothing. What would you like to know?
Goober: Should I be taking Pubitrex™?
Doctor: No.
Goober: Spankazol™?
Doctor: (chuckling) No.
Goober: Penisium™?
Doctor: Did you know that's for uterine bleeding?
Goober: I did not.
Doctor: Well, now you do.
Goober: *pauses* Well, should I be taking it.
Doctor: No! You farking moron.
Goober: Well, tell me that then! Shit.
Doctor: Any more?
Goober: Lessee....yeah, Sheikzac™, Farkium™ or Fangitrex™?
Doctor: Did you know that that's a horse suppository?
Goober: Which one?
Doctor: I'm not telling.
Goober: But what about your Hippopotamus oath?
Doctor: It's "Hippocratic", you asshat.
Goober: You're mean. I'm going to find another doctor.
Doctor: Go ahead! Good luck on that! *evil laugh*
*CLICK*

The one on Mojo for Harvey's. The guy's voice is nauseating. I hate to say it, but I imagine this is what a salivating child molester sounds like.

 

[tillithurts]

I have to say I can't stand the Canadian Tire Family either. I'm willing to bet that the guy in those commercials finds difficulty in pouring his own bathwater.

 

[superquad1968]

All of them. Buit in particular those stupid five alive commercials. Copolete nonsense. I know there is one drink I'll never have.
