Most despised tv commercial person

[Bossy Monkey]

Poll question: Most despised tv commercial person

Now I know everybody's going to say the "Can you hear me now? Good!" guy or the "Lost another loan to Ditech" guy, but hear me out! What commercial do you always, without fail turn off, even if you have to jump over major articles of furniture to reach the clicker, or if this isn't possible, shoot out the tv? I submit Matthew Lesko; deny it who will. I'd like to tell HIM to go shove it!

Wilford Brimley slips from the list due to working less, or more probably because I hate the Intel Neutrino guy so much. Probably just me.

Register the ever-popular "every fucking one of them!" option by voting Other and replying to this effect.

Edit: Leptaprin person (and I hope I'm misspelling it) replaces tax shyster Roni Deutch. (Hey, I don't care if you can settle my IRS beef for pennies on the dollar; why can't you spell your last name?)

[swag]

1. "I'm George W. Bush, and I approved this messitch."

[SW FL Dem]

88. That was my first response too! n/t

[Az]

2. George Bush. Nuff said.

[wryter2000]

3. Without a doubt

Digger, the dermatophyte, the toenail fungus.

[Blue Gardener]

4. Ditech

But that stupid AFLAC duck voiced by Gilbert what's his face is a very close second. It wasn't bad at first, but enough already!

[DS1]

5. Billy Mays gets my vote. That fuck has interrupted enough

well needed naps for me to want him silenced. Like you'd silence a doberman.

[Bertha Venation]

8. who is Billy Mays?

[DS1]

11. BILLY MAYS HERE WITH THE GRABBER

or the SUPER OXY CLEANER!!

He yells everything. Your TV is screaming at you when he comes on.

He looks like Tim Tayler's Tooltime sidekick Al, but plainer looking.

[Bertha Venation]

15. ah

:puke:

Gag.

Thanks.

[Commendatori]

6. Any of the Subway dieters, especially Jared. Also, the old guy

in the Six Flags commercials makes me wonder how anyone can be against individual ownership of shoulder-launched anti-aircraft weaponry.

[DS1]

12. So you're saying you want him seated in the Superman without

a harness, so when he goes flying off the top you can shoot him down with a Stinger missile.

Amusing. I'd pay the parking fees to see that.

[Commendatori]

59. That is precisely what I'm saying, and

I wouldn't charge you to watch. All expenses would be picked up by yours truly. It would be worth every cent.

[BigMcLargehuge]

78. ROFLOL!!!!!

Oh man I can just see that in my minds eye.... HAHAHAHA... Oh man.... WOOOOO.....

[MallRat]

18. I agree.

Winner of the Worst Elderly Person Makeup Job, 2004.

Previous winner- Geena Davis, "A League of Their Own."

-MR

[mark0rama]

28. Um, that wasn't Geena Davis

For the present-day scenes, they cast an older actress and looped in Davis' voice.

Maybe you were thinking of some of Davis' makeup in "Beetlejuice"? :)

[devilgrrl]

30. What's the deal with the 'Junior' Soprano look-alikes?

Also, that wasn't Geena Davis in make-up, that was an elderly actress (Lynn Cartwright: http://imdb.com/name/nm0142187/) that resembled Davis.

[Red State Rebel]

46. That old guy in the 6 Flags Commercials is just creepy!!!

If he ever pulled up with a bus in front of my house I'd be calling 911!

[ForrestGump]

49. The Six Flags demon. I think it's the music that makes me want to

throw up, but I hate that pseudo-codger by association, if nothing else.

[BigMcLargehuge]

79. The Six Flags Demon!!!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[TrustingDog]

7. The nail gravy eater idiot....

why, can I have some battery acid with that too? forget about common sense, there's always a pill for my stupidity.

[Bossy Monkey]

54. So glad I don't know what you're talking about

but it sure sounds annoying.

[BlondieK143]

56. Ugh!

I hate that damn commercial! Not to mention the OJ acid!

[pscot]

9. That woman who's gotta go

She's gotta go.

[Liberal Veteran]

10. Bob and his penis problem.....

I don't really need to know.

[ewagner]

17. That's my vote

That insipid smile..........Bob and his "wife"...

god I hate those commercials

[dawg]

84. Bob's done knocked that poor woman's brains out! n/t

[hyphenate]

13. I'll tell you the worst

Those fucking Geico commercials. In California, the worst are the Survival insurance commercials. The idiot on the Survival commercials makes me nauseous and want to punch him out. As for the gekko in the Geico commercials, I'm a major animal lover, but give me half a chance, and I'll run over that little green bastard!!!

[skrunch]

29. Man, that Survival guy is such a putz!

I wanted to re-edit that spot where that babe in the sports car tries to pick him up in the desert and he refuses because it's not insured by Survival.

Just add a shot of him covered in a cloud of dust as she peels out...fade to black...fade up: sand blowing over skeleton...camera pans to hand clutching a Survival life insurance policy.

[Tom Kitten]

31. I hate those too!

Isn't that Ken Starr in one of them? :puke:

[Tom Kitten]

32. I hate those too!

Isn't that Ken Starr in one of them? :puke:

[Tom Kitten]

34. I hate those too!

Isn't that Ken Starr in one of them? :puke:

[Bunny]

35. Oh I love the Geico gekko!

Everybody was Kung Foo fighting!

Cracks me up every time, but then again, I'm seldom accused of being a deep thinker! ;)

[tjwash]

38. nt

[Sabriel]

14. Jonathan Pryce

He used to do those patronizing commercials for some luxury car, I forget which. Infinity,maybe?

[WilliamPitt]

16. The Geiko gecko

[blackcat77]

19. Car lot owners who do their own commercials

They have no acting talent at all and end up looking like fools. They do stupid crap like throwing money at the camera or dressing in some costume, or they find some has-been local celebrity to join them on screen.

[coloradodem2005]

20. I got one.

How about that Wal-Mart commercial with that one older guy and the Gingerbread Cookie that looks like it came from "Shrek". The cookie says in the high-pitched voice "Hi Kids. Welcome to Wal-Mart." That is so annoying.

[Gogi]

97. The gingerbread cookie is male.....

so he makes more money than the female workers!

[cmf]

21. Well, the easy answer is *, but my all time hated person

Is the little girl in the Christmas cheese commercial. You know, the one where the family comes down on Xmas morning and the dad says, "Wow, you must have left Santa some really good cookies." And the little girl sneers out, "I didn't leave him cookies, I left him cheeeeeeeeeesssssse."

:grr: :nuke: :mad:

[Zomby Woof]

51. best.avatar.ever.

That MSN Messenger face kills me every time. :D

[On the Road]

22. That Idiot in the Suit with Question Marks All Over It

who sells books on how to start a small business.

[Bossy Monkey]

25. That's Matthew Lesko, and the books are on how to rob the government n/t

[dawg]

85. Batman should come and kick his ass! - n/t

[ironflange]

23. Does anybody remember Ralph Williams?

He was a car hustler back in the 70's, had car lots all over and so spread misery over the airwaves to numerous cities. He was the archetypical TV car sales guy. Had a dog, too, but I can't remember its name.

[Doctor Smith]

24. CortaSlim

[Bossy Monkey]

26. I was thinking more Leptaprin

As I still have editing time, maybe I'll slip her in there

[Liberal Veteran]

27. Is that the woman who looks like Tasha Yar and Agent Scully had a kid?

She creeps me out.

[Bossy Monkey]

36. That's the one; now you can vote for her n/t

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

33. ironically, matthew lesko, who tells you how to waste taxpayer money

is a huge advertidser on the so-called fiscally conservative FOX news channel and am talk radio

[democracy eh]

74. it is only wasted if it is spent on other people

if you get it it is OK

[terrya]

37. There's a new series of ads for Six Flags...

with this old bald guy with big black eyeglasses who is truly, hideously annoying. It's the worst ad campaign to come along in a long, long time.

[Sporadicus]

41. That's My Latest Favorite One to Hate

The music is as annoying as the hyperactive geezer.

[Red State Rebel]

47. I'm with you - posted above he's just creepy!! n/m

[Red State Rebel]

48. John Basedow and his muscles...ewww

For one thing, his name is just weird - but I'm tired of seeing him flex and look in love with himself to sell his video.

[terrya]

62. My bad. I didn't see your post above. This is one of the worst ad..

campaigns ever devised. I see these idiotic ads and they make me NOT want to go to Six Flags. I don't think that's the hallmark of a successful ad campaign, it seems to me. :-)

[tjwash]

39. ALL of those freakin' drug commercials where they...

..blurt out the side effects in the last ten seconds are despicable. "Can cause diarrhea, dementia, heart palpitations, vomiting, fever, high blood pressure, delirium, and spontaneous combustion. If you are between the ages of 4 and 92 consult your physician first".

Damn, the side effects on half these drugs are ten times as bad as what they are supposed to be curing.

[Beaker]

40. the "Chaser" couple...

the guy is complaining about having to go to work all hungover, then wonders why wifey is so perky, when she "drank even more than me..."

Then she decides to tell him about "Chaser" the hangover cure you take before you drink...

in real life, wouldn't the drunken husband pop the little woman right in the mouth, and then ask why she didn't tell him about "Chaser" last night, and why was she holding out on him in the first place??

I see a definite Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolff? future for this couple...if they live.

[afraid_of_the_dark]

72. The acting in that one is SO bad.

The "actress" doesn't even let the actor finish his sentence before she blurts out her lines. Absolutely dreadful.

[baldguy]

42. Everyone in the Pepto-bismol commercial.

They're all WAY too happy to be having those gastro-intestinal problems.

(tho the red head on the end is sort o' cute.)

[Merrick]

43. Viagra (and competitors) that feature guys skipping down the street...

or wearing big shit-eating smiles in the swimming pool, or getting "What's different about Steve?" remarks at work by impressed co-workers because some magic pill has given them a chemically induced boner with which to torture and torment their poor, downtrodden wives who'd probably looked upon the "erectile dysfunction" of their fat, ugly old husbands as a blessing in the first place.

These impotent bastards should be in commercials promoting some harmless hobby, like train sets, that intend to sell train sets.

[worksux]

63. bwhahahaha~

so glad somebody finally posted this! when you are watching Dan Rather and they cut to "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS" by Queen argh!!!
Just between us chickens, it's true-I'm a gal and my guy took viagra one night and I had to go see the doctor the next day he had split my back in two (this was several months after I had back surgery for herniated disc L-3 and he was going at me like a pile driver).
I hope he caught on.
oh yeah, the commercial-my vote for Cialis, Levitra and Viagra.
Kathryn

[Bossy Monkey]

68. Welcome to DU

Pleeeeeeeease sue Viagra!

[worksux]

90. sue them? that could be hard

no pun intended. These corporations are buffered against the little people like me.
Thanks for the welcome btw.
It's nice to "be around" like minded people.:pals:

[a_random_joel]

44. Ditech guy...

[Brahma Bull]

45. "Can you hear me now? Good!"

I wanna beat his ass to a bloody pulp.

[-..__...]

50. Ball Park Grill Master hot dogs

"Giiiirrrrrthy"!

The Freeper football type meathead stuffing his fat face with tumescent "ball park" sized franks.

I'd gladly offer to use my boot heel to introduce a regimen of "giiiirrrthy" Grill Master tube-steaks up his lower bowel tract.

[MrChupon]

80. hehe I like that guy

he seems innocent enough to me, I won't judge his politics.

[dawg]

86. If you don't ask, he won't tell .....

I hope they paid him richly 'cause that poor guy is going to catch hell over that commercial for the rest of his life.

[Bluebear]

52. Any Englishman selling home products at 3 a.m.

"And, Jennifer, you can make 'ollandaise sauce in jus' thrigh easy poolses of the Bullet Blender!"

[Dogmudgeon]

53. Catherine Zeta "Get More" Jones

I live in one of their prime marketing areas, and she's as difficult to avoid as a Mormon missionary with ADHD. (With my apologies to Mormons, missionaries, and people with ADHD.)

--bkl

[DS1]

61. At least Sela Ward got into slinky leather catsuits for her

Wireless shilling

[phillybri]

64. Those were the great commercials of all-time...

Damn, Sela looked yummy!

[mac56]

55. The zoom-zoom kid.

Creeps me out. Same with the Six Flags zombie.

[electricmonk]

57. John Bastow (sp)

The fitness guy. He just gives me the creeps, a freak of well not nature, just a freak I guess.

[TOhioLiberal]

58. those stupid Viagra commercials

with 'We Are The Champions' playing...:grr:

on a side note...Can you imagine the poor slob who goes to the emergency room because his chemically induced 'woody' lasts more than 4 hours? :D

[gauguin57]

71. can you imagine the poor WOMAN

who has to be sent to the emergency room cuz she's been UNDERNEATH the poor slob who's had a woody for 4 hours????

[TheMightyFavog]

91. Freddy Mercury's spinning in his grave.

He'd be pissed about this.

[Bossy Monkey]

60. Oh Jesus, I forgot the woman whose boyfriend thinks his truck is

"totally sick"; such a bad spot, they may have taken it off. I haven't seen it lately, for which I am profoundly grateful.

[phillybri]

65. Joe Isuzu...

...still gives me the creeps...:scared:

[phillybri]

66. Ooooh...I forgot the annoying little demon-girl in the Pepsi commercials!

That little curly-haired pain in the ass!

[FranzFerdinand]

67. Billy Fucillo 'UUUUUUUGGGGGEEEEE

ugh...

[Loonman]

69. Rebecca from TUFTS health whatever thingy

Irritating.

[T_i_B]

70. Hi. I'm Victor Kiam

I liked the razor so much I brought the company. Remember that?

[Xithras]

73. The lady in the EXTENZ commercials.

"Guranteed to increase the size of that certain special area of the male body by up to 25%!"

She's loud, annoying, and a bad actress to boot. You can't miss her commercials on SciFi, History, or Discovery/TLC after 9PM. Personally, I don't know what's more offensive; the fact that I have to put up with her faux-perky mug every 30 minutes, or the fact that these channels would run commercials for such an obvious scam in the first place.

[democracy eh]

75. Over exposed celebrity athletes

Michael Jordan - Ball park franks, gatorade, batteries, nike, bunch of other crap
Wayne Gretzky even worse - pain killers, fords, mcdonalds, CIBC, and others

what aren't these guys selling?

they want to be the next William Shatner.

[democracy eh]

77. and Ron Popeil and Tony Little

spray on hair? the gazelle?

[MisterP]

76. I vote for Lesko

I don't buy things from people dressed like the Riddler. And I can do the woman screaming as he walks past her in the tub in the cartoon house.

[Enraged_Ape]

81. Matthew Lesko, AKA The Riddler

God, I wish there were a real Batman who would punch this guy's lights out.

[Donkeyboy75]

[skippysmom]

87. The nail fungus guy

Who lifts up the toenail to show you what's underneath. I think it's for Lamasil? I cringe just thinking about it.

[Mike Daniels]

89. Ditech loser

Wouldn't a real bank have fired this clown by now for low production?

[GCP]

92. That stupid asshole dressed as a blue butterfly

For MSN - AKA the Evil Empire.

[Kat45]

93. I find the Christian Children's Fund guy extremely annoying and

kind of creepy too. That ad always has me reaching for the remote. And those commercials last forever--when I flip back to the station, the fucking guy is still on!

I guess I can count myself fortunate in that I don't know most of the choices in the poll; that's how little attention I pay to commercials. But I sure do know the Six Flags guy; that stupid music can't help but catch one's attention. And it's kind of like looking at an accident: I know what I'll see if I look up at the TV, but I can't help doing it anyway.

[indigo32]

94. The Peptol Bismol Dance

:puke:

[Spider Jerusalem]

95. Anyone who's ever done one of those fucking "1-800-CALL-ATT" ads.

[Massacure]

96. "Leptoprin is far to powerful for the casual dieter."

I hate that commericial. I just saw a Ronald Reagan coin on the History Channel as well.

[Bjornsdotter]

98. The Menards Guy....

save big money at Menards......he makes me crazy!

Cheers,
Kim

[porkrind]

99. How about "infomercial" types?

Like Ron Popiel, or Billy Mays (OxyClean), or the chef "knife guy"? How about the "personal power guy?" or the "make a million dollars in real estate" guys? I also hate those women who sit on the white sofa in pink lab jackets yacking on and on about makeup. The Tony Little guy with the exercise thing also bugs.

Sales Whores. :puke:

[truthbetold]

100. The little girl in the anti-smoking ads.

She has the most annoying voice I've ever heard. She talks about how much she hates smoking and begs you not to do it around her. I definitely agree with the message, but the girl is so annoying and whiny sounding. It almost makes me want to light up, just to spite her.
Also, if anyone lives in western New York, they will know this line from the car dealership: It's HUUUUGGGEEEE!
UGH, WHY?!

[Justitia]

101. Miss "My Man Takes Levitra", to "enhance the experience"

She's all dishevled, with a "seductive" shit-eating grin.
"My man" this, and "my man" that - oh brother.
She annoys the crap out of me.
