    Default Most annoying commercials?

    I loathe the new mercenaries video game commercial.

    WARNING this horrid, bouncy jingle will be stuck in your head after watching. If you've been lucky enough not see the commercial by now, you might want to keep it that way.

    Hahaha, I love both of those! But I love all shows tunes and jingles. I think I'm secretly a gay man or something.

    I also hate most commercials that have some little kid being a brat/bossy/acting like an adult.

    I hate all commercials that use kids to get their point across (unless its a kid food or toy)

    Like....

    "My parents refinanced their house using this company!! They went from 45% to 1%!!!! Thats because (some annoying explanation that nobody understands, much less a 7 year old)!"

    UGH shutthefuckup. i guess its supposed to be cute but annoys all fuck out of me. Use a damn adult.

    YES! I hate that. I hate the one where the kids explain the cell phone to their dopey looking parents.

    Default Re: Most annoying commercials?

    Annoying commercials are one of my greatest pet peeves. I actually boycott whatever they're selling if they're bad enough (Burger King and Dairy Queen have earned a lifetime ban for their consistently obnoxious spots).

    Generally, I can't stand commercials that feature:

    -Screaming or yelling.
    -Bratty kids who are smarter than their parents.
    -Classic songs used to create a false sense of familiarity with the product, ESPECIALLY when they change the lyrics. The whole Aretha Franklin catalog should be retired from commercial use.
    -Dramatically increased volume over the program you were watching.
    -The "dumb daddy" stereotyped character who is always made to look silly by Mom and/or the kids.
    -Fast food that looks nothing like what you actually get at the restaurant.
    -Attacking a competing product more than promoting their own. It's a cereal ad, not a political campaign!
    -Eating noises! Or people cramming food into their face.
    -The unlikely conversation between two supposedly average people, in which they discuss the merits of the
    product in detail, using the full name brand repeatedly.
    -People debasing themselves or going to extraordinary lengths to acquire the product, which is actually easily available at a number of nearby stores.
    -Ascribing magical properties to the product, as if a particular beer will make you more attractive to the opposite sex.
    -Fake news anchors, especially the ones that try to grab your attention by saying "We interrupt this broadcast..."
    -Mascots created with poor-quality CGI.
    -"This offer is only good for the next two minutes, so call now!" "Supplies are limited!" "In these troubled times..." and other such lies/extortions.


    As for specific ads:

    I hate the FreeCreditReport commercials, too, as much for that creepy-looking douchebag as for the poorly lip-synched jingles. Plus it's pretty much a scam, anyway.

    9/11 Commemorative "Twenty Dollar Bill"- This is the most shamelessly exploitative ad I've ever seen. "It's legal tender in Liberia!" "Nine and eleven equal twenty!" Not to mention it's absolutely hideous.

    Billy Mays- I truly DESPISE this person. The voice which makes you scramble for the mute button, the smarmy, fake smile, the astroturf beard- I hate everything about him. There is no end to the crap he whores, and now he's even shrieking about insurance! When you've had a rough day and just want to zone out to the History Channel, this screaming jackass gets on your last nerve. The world is definitely a poorer, less kind place for having Billy Mays in it, but apparently people buy whatever he shills by the truckload, which makes me sad for humanity.

    ShamWow- I think this is purposefully obnoxious, in hopes it will get people talking (it worked for Head-On!). "Vince" looks like Popeye's scrawny son. His bizarre eye twitch, goofy hairstyle, cartoonish gesticulation. and ridiculous headset make it clear we're supposed to mock this ugly jerk.

    Remember the Countrywide ads, featuring the sickly-looking, pale creep with the beady eyes and obsequious, used-car salesman grin? For a time he rivaled Billy Mays in obnoxiousness. Hilariously, they tried to colorize the ads to give him a more human flesh tone, so they knew how awful he looked, but still kept using him.

    Twix- Idiot makes a social faux-pas, then stalls for time by shoving an entire Twix bar into his mouth at once, devouring it noisily. This is supposed to be appetizing?

    Video Professor- He's been running the same ad for years, with the Hobbit-ish woman snickering about how her 3.5 year old daughter knows how to use a computer better than she does (the kid has to be at least eight by now!) Plus, the VP just LOOKS like an asshole, with his orange, Oompah-Loompa skin and Hitler-esque mustache. From reports that he sues forum posters who criticize his product, it's apparent he actually IS one.

    The Geico "celebrity" spots- The "sound-effects guy" from the Police Academy movies is NOT a celebrity! How about the Joan Rivers one, with the guy making a joke out of his father's carjacking? (I do, however, kind of like the one with Mrs. Butterworth.) And speaking of Geico, the Cavemen are long since played out.

    Circuit City- I hate this store with a fiery passion already, but the back-to school ad with the CC guy hitting on a girl who looks underage makes me hate them even more.

    Viva Viagra- the worst musical ad EVER, perhaps equalled only by the screeching old women selling denture adhesive.

    "Time of My Life"- The song's bad enough, with its cheesy 80's synthesizer sound, but they play this ad (for some resort) constantly!

    The AARP spot in which their spokeswoman impersonates a motorcycle cop in order to threaten a senior citizen into joining the AARP.

    The fear-mongering security system ads where a lone, frightened woman is saved from a burglar/possible serial killer by her alarm.

    Progresso- They've based their entire advertising campaign on the notion that if you buy Campbell's, you're an stupid, unsophisticated loser. Some smarmy, elitist snob mocking me for my choice of soup isn't going to get me to switch brands.

    The John Mellencamp Chevy ads, mostly because I hate John Mellencamp.

    I know many people like the Mac vs PC ads, but I think they make the PC guy much more likable, while Mac guy is the kind of arrogant, slacker punk who judges people based on what operating system they use.

    To end an a positive note, I generally like the Jack-in-a-Box ads, and the Michelin spot where Bibendum is driving in the rain, searching for his little, lost Michelin-dog.

    And the all-time best commercial... the Trunk Monkey!

    Oh god, those are on the radio ALL the time. 'I use whatever every time I perform', etc. If you can't say it on tv you shouldn't be allowed to sell it.

    I hate the Head On commercial.
    Explains nothing about the product.
    Just how you use it.


    "Head on, apply directly to the forhead.
    Head on, apply directly to the forhead.
    Head on, apply directly to the forhead.
    Head on, apply directly to the forhead."

    "Laser Eye Centerrrrrrrrr" UGH.

    I listen to a lot of talk radio, so I hear most commercials instead of hearing them and seeing them, which reduces The Annoying factor.
    If anyone lives in the L.A. area, they might be aware of the most annoying commercials on 97.1. The ironic thing is, many times I don't even remember what the product they are peddling even is. I can only describe some of them.

    1.) The one where the guy is answering his cell phone over and over, and talking about his really "bad habit" of interrupting people/situations to answer his cell phone.
    2.) AshleyMadision.com, promoting a web site that specializes in cheating, basically. The commercial "characters" just come off as slimy, imo.
    3.) The Miller Light one where you can hear the beer being poured in the beginning, and them talking about something about the Miller Light Lounge. That sound annoys me instantly and makes me feel like peeing even when I don't have to.

    Those are my top 3 offenders.

    Baby come back? lolol I love those.

    Geico just needs to STOP with the cavemen. I can't stand it.

    Also, the Mac vs PC commercials are too frequent now. Getting old.

    The drug ads annoy the hell outta me, too. "Side effects may include liver and kidney disease, high blood pressure, stroke, massive internal bleeding, heart arrhythmia, death, things worse than death, and the death of death..."

    I like all 3 commercials. The one w/ the Mariachi band, the grocery store, and the one where the broom is sitting out in the hot tub. I always laugh the hardest at the mariachi band though.
