What commercial do you hate more than words can describe?

[sundog]

For me it is that one for some Visa card with air-travel miles where the sweet happy cute couple is in their living room dreaming of places to go:

"Mexico?" in unison: "HAWAII!!!"

Like friggin fingernails on a chalkboard... I hope their plane crashes on the way there. :grr: :nuke:

[kick-ass-bob]

1. Why do you hate America?

:silly:

[sundog]

49. aww, c'mon

It's fun to bash multi-million dollar ad campaigns by greedy corporate assholes ;)

[trotsky]

2. Any Hummer ad.

"Own a Hummer. Be an Asshole. People will fear and respect you."

[SmileyBoy]

29. They stole one of the greatest songs ever made by Filter:

"The Only Way Is The Wrong Way".

I read in an article that the band would not give Hummer permission to use the song, so the bastards used a different band to play the song and had the chick who sang it sang "The Only Way Is The Long Way" so they wouldn't get sued. Ugh.

[redqueen]

3. Levitra ... or whatever it is

The one with "Bob" with the fake, plastic smile.


There are lots more, but that one really gets to me.

[ewagner]

4. "I'm cleaning the litter box, I'm cleaning the litter box"

I swear, one more time and I'm going suicidal.................

[mac56]

5. Yes. Yes. Yes.

I hate that commercial so much.

Second place goes to the Mitsubishi ad with the spastic* woman in the newsboy hat, "dancing" in the front passenger seat.

* - Apologies for the comparison to those who suffer from involuntary spasms.

[hippiechick]

89. The Clairol Hairgasms

Yes, washing my hair gives me a screaming orgasm.

WHATEVER ?!?!?!

The Hardee's soft porn commerical with the teenage chick in the tight hip huggers on the mechanical bull is pretty nasty, too.


:puke:



:hippie:

[LSdemocrat]

6. Subway ads.

Jared is just incredibly pompous, plus their food is decidedly NOT fresh (at least at my local Subway)

[Left Is Write]

38. None of the Subways around here are that great either.

The bread is usually dry.

[boneygrey]

7. I don't know the name of the drug

but its for bladder control. They sing "gotta go gotta go right now" over and over and over. ARggggggggg.:mad:

[sui generis]

8. enzyte

anybody who walks around with permanent "O" face -- can you imagine this guy at a boyscouts meeting? And they thought it was us queers they should be scared of.

[underpants]

36. I think those are hilarious

Oh well

[blondeatlast]

61. Great. Thanks for the most disturbing, yet hilarious, image

I could never come up with on my own.

I'm so ashamed, but I'm in tears I'm laughing so hard.

[NJCher]

9. I am so pleased to say

I haven't a clue to what you are talking about since I mute all commercials.

One slight exception is that I do recognize the spaz woman from eyeballing the car commercial (but not listening to it).


Cher

[sundog]

12. consider yourself lucky

:7

[candy]

10. The ones for The Silvercare Plan------

A soft spoken woman says "If you were born between 1919 and 1964" you are eligible for their life insurance policy.

Lucky us!!!!!!!

[KurtNYC]

11. All of the Capital One spots

Huns smashing things ..."what's in your wallet?"

Then there are the ones with David Spade, ugh.

[Left Is Write]

40. Capital One ads bother me.

But that's largely because I don't like Capital One much to begin with.

[giant_robot]

52. Ugh! David Spade with the trainee.

Mr. Boot, meet Mr. TV.

[blondeatlast]

65. David Spade is on my list to wipe off the planet if I'm ever

allowed to do the "Bruce Almighty" thing.

Like he never existed, just POOF.

[RagingInMiami]

13. I hate that guy on the radio

That is advertising his book on the free money the government is handing out for things like starting your own biz, going back to school, working on an invention, etc.
I love the concept, but he could stand to be a little less annoying.

[blondeatlast]

67. Matthew Lesko; an interesting tidbit:

His books are among the books most frequently stolen at public libraries--believe me, I'm in a unique position to know.

And he offers NOTHING that isn't available widely already.

[Skittles]

120. OMG

he gives me a migraine

[catmandu57]

14. I can't think of it, but, I hate that son of a bitch

it's either alcohol or car related i want to kick in the screen whenever it comes on.

[LSparkle]

15. All debt consolidation ads

Makes me depressed every time I hear or see one of them. Debt, Inc. -- that's our nation.

[JimmyJazz]

16. Any personal hygiene or sexual dysfunction commercial -

I mean really....Yuck

[sundog]

17. yes, personal hygiene is just so...

YUCK! :P

[JimmyJazz]

19. No silly. It's important, but it's....hold on, what's that word...um...er

Oh yeah: PERSONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sundog]

27. uh- huh

I agree, personal is just so... so... PERSONAL! Geez!:7

[mac56]

18. Oral-B Brush Ups.

"Rip... Slip... Brush... AAAH!!"

Dozens of people poking minty fresh fingers in their mouths and gyrating in unison.

Stupid, stupid ad.

On edit: Oral-B, not Crest.

[blondeatlast]

69. I'm old enough to remember "Pearl Drops" ads.

Truly disgusting.

She licks her teeth orgasmically; saying: uuuuuhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnn, it's a great feeling!

I approximated the Uuuuhhhhhhhhhnmmmmm as best I could; I was too young to understand it when the commercials aired, but I think you get the picture.

[mac56]

118. And "Pearl Drops".

Suggestive name, no?

[blondeatlast]

123. Jeez, I never thought about that one.

Holy cow, now it's REALLY gross!

[TlalocW]

20. Mentos - the Fresh Maker!

I don't know if they still have them, but I was watching some old tapes over Christmas, and I didn't fast forward through one set of commercials, and one of those was shown. It was the one with some teenagers crossing a street, and one of them is cut off by a car that pulls up so he goes through the car instead. Fresh? You want fresh? You don't go through the car! You go get a shovel from the street construction going on near you and use that to smash his windshield! That's FRESH! :)

I like the maurading huns/what's in your wallet commercials. I'd join in if that pack came running through the mall when I was there.

TlalocW

[China_cat]

92. Those are Dutch commercials

overdubbed in English. Some of them almost 25 years old.

[jjmalonejr]

21. All Old Navy commercials

AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

Although, I gotta admit, sundog, that the one you nominated bothers the fuck out of me, too!

:nuke:

[cruadin]

34. I agree---any ad, and I mean ANY ad, put out...

put out by Old Navy has some indescribable quality to it that makes me want to open an artery.

I don't know what demographic they're shooting for (clearly not mine) but those ads are the most cloying, insipid, obnoxious drivel that leaks out of my TV--- and that's saying a lot considering some of the other crap that's in the competition.

[jjmalonejr]

41. Amen to that! n/t

[ihaveaquestion]

22. Cadillac ads with the Led Zepplin soundtracks

It's such an oxymoron that I cringe every time!

[sundog]

25. no shit...

zep rockers turned greedy pigs - I guess that's their target audience :eyes:

[Left Is Write]

42. Zeppelin music should never have been used in ANY ad.

It's a travesty.

[6000eliot]

107. GM originally wanted to use "Break on Through"

by The Doors, but John Densmore, bless his heart, wouldn't sell.

[Taxloss]

23. Jennifer Aniston. Barclaycard.

The horror, the horror.

[Phillycat]

32. What? Where does this air?

Jennifer Aniston has never done a commercial in the US, that I'm aware of. Is that a credit card? What does she do?

[Taxloss]

39. Sorry, should have given context - it's a UK ad.

Here's a good description:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/3814853.stm

It make Hulk want smash.

Barclaycard is a credit card, issued by one of our biggest banks. I have a Barclaycard.

[Phillycat]

43. Sounds f**king annoying.

Thanks for the info!

[Taxloss]

53. It's unspeakably annoying.

As Aniston is an American actor and so are all the others in the ad, I assumed it was American. I'm surprised you don't have Barclaycard!

[Phillycat]

54. Nope, we sure don't.

We mainly have Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, Diner's Club, and I think that's it.

[Taxloss]

84. Well, you're not obliged to.

We don't have Discover, and Diner's has withdrawn, but we have the others.

Odd that a UK firm should use US actors for a UK-only ad.

[alarimer]

103. I think American actors do foreign commercials

Because they know they won't be seen here in the US.

[Taxloss]

106. Do you get British actors in some commercials?

I know a lot of Far-Eastern commericals use British actors.

[SmileyBoy]

24. Any fucking Old Navy commercial.

They fucking piss the hell out of me.

[NYC Liberal]

26. If I hear

"I just lost another loan to Ditech.com!" I'll flip out! :mad:

[sundog]

28. Ditech sounds like some sort of acid reflux pill

[boneygrey]

30. amen to that n/t

[Left Is Write]

45. For that reason, I have no intention of ever applying for a Ditech loan.

[outraged2]

31. there are several...

... but the first one that came to mind is one for the new Mustang.... it 'sings' the national anthem in engine revs. :puke:

[Midlodemocrat]

33. Never saw it, but love your hopes for the plane. LOL.

[Strawman]

35. That abs guy with the huge head

Looks like Nancy Reagan on roids. Freaks the hell out of me. Forget his name. John Something. It's on all the time.

[sundog]

47. looks like a bad photoshop

I still don't believe it's his body

[jjmalonejr]

55. Celebrity fitness guru John Basedow

Sometimes he's got dark brown hair, sometimes he's got blond highlights.

"Bringing real results...to real people!"

I hate those ads, too.

[LDS Jock]

59. thank you! that is the worst commercial on tv

and just how does one become a "fitness celebrity" like john basedow?

[underpants]

37. Are you Jellin'?

God spare me.

[Left Is Write]

46. That's the one!

I couldn't think of which commercial I despise most until you said that. That's it.

Are you gellin'? Like Magellan! (WTF is that supposed to MEAN, anyway???)

[jjmalonejr]

56. They used to say "Gellin' like a felon"

but they changed it.

[Lavender Brown]

72. Nothing says Dr. Scholl's like

16th century world explorer. :wtf:

[KittyWampus]

93. Are You Jellin'.... You KNOW Those Two Guys Are Gay.

[proud2BlibKansan]

111. No way! I like that commercial

You must not be gellin! Or you would like it too :)

[AG78]

44. Kerr McGee, Boeing

I think it's Boeing anyway. In one of their commercials, they have an image of a fighter jet taking off, while a voice over and words on the screen talk about freedom.

Kerr-McGee for their commecials I always see on CNN talking about getting AMERICA'S energy for AMERICANS.

Hummer commercials too. They're like nothing else.

[arcos]

48. "THAT guy.... he's back!"

:puke:

[jjmalonejr]

50. Overstock.com

The Big O.

On occasion it's all about the gold.

I feel like I need to take a shower after I watch it. Not a cold shower, mind you, but a hot shower with lots of soap.

[blondeatlast]

74. Eeeew. Ya had to remind me.

Apparently they are huge Repuke contributors, too.

[BlueJazz]

51. The Remax Commercial where the Father and Son see this.....

...annoying bright light coming over their cornfield and then this typical, pasty, greedy, don't-do-shit-but-make-money-off-of-other-people leech, scumbug Woman in a hot-air balloon says:"I got the house for you and blah..blah..blah.

Oh..for the want of a shotgun to make that fucker sink faster than a submarine with a screen door...

[forgethell]

57. anything about

women's hygiene, internal medical problems, or constipation.

What a country!!!

[Rambis]

58. I am Dr. Greg SEET-AH-MONE!

I hate the cortaslim lifestyle BS with a fiery Passion.

[blondeatlast]

76. I need a shower after that one.

And to brush my teeth, shampoo my hair.

Can you say "oily?"

He's a psychotherapist, can you effing imagine...?

Ugh.

[meegbear]

60. The Brinks alarm ad with the delivery guys ...

The woman and 2 girls are in the house, but they have no lights on, the grass isn't cut and the mail and papers haven't been picked up for days!

And they're doing laundry while the rest of the place looks like that? You DESERVE to be broken into.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

62. anything with david spade

that goes for his movies and tv shows as well. i hate that smarmy, no talent shit.

[peekaloo]

63. Jerry!

that fookin' McD's salad commercial.

[Catchawave]

64. Refreshing eyeball spray....ahhhhhh...

It's just so dumb, I'm afraid a child will try that with mom's hairspray on his baby sibling ! What are these ad-makers smoking?

[Phentex]

66. All Swiffer ads.

ick

[Left Is Write]

70. Especially Swiffer ads using Devo's "Whip It."

[u4ic]

94. Yes!

Or any commercial that shows a woman enjoying cleaning.

:eyes:

[GumboYaYa]

68. Any commercial where the shampoo appears to be causing

an orgasm in the shower. It seems like shampoo is as effective as the pocket rocket these days.

[Blue Gardener]

71. That stupid Aflac duck

It might have been cute the first time or two, but now they actually have Gilbert Gottfried in the commercial. I thought it couldn't get anymore irritating, but they have proven me wrong.
Plus the commercial advertising Sunday night football on ESPN. They play it over and over and over again in a very short time period. Okay, I heard it the first five times!

[Left Is Write]

75. Along those same lines, the Geico commercials.

The gecko IS NOT FUNNY anymore. In fact, he hasn't BEEN funny since he gave up fighting Geico and joined the team. He was funny when he came out the shower to answer the phone and said, "No, I cawn't save you money on auto insurance!"

[ImpeachBush]

73. Ben Stien's eyedrops........ for red eye ....

Blah, blah ... and he's a jerk, anyway.

[ThoughtCriminal]

77. Girls Gone Wild

Drunk flashers are just not that attractive.

[Paranoid_Portlander]

78. "Too much Xmas spirit, Phil."

Because his antlers are too big. I also don't like the bear cub rubbing his rear end against a tree while being told "less is more", or is it "more is less"?

[vikegirl]

79. OxyClean/Orange Glo

That dude's voice just GRATES on me....

[vikegirl]

82. Oh! Also BowFlex

"I can't believe I'm a fifty-year old grandmother wearing a bikini...." And she's in a pool with some 20-year old!

[Liberal Veteran]

87. That's her great-grandson!

LOL!

[loudestchick]

80. The new trim spa ad..."you want to party...you want a viper...you

love my body?...trim spa, baby!" Anna Nicole makes me want to gouge out my eyes and ears!

[China_cat]

81. The Sunny Delite

"I'm not bugging you" commercial. I want to put that kid in a straight jacket and a ball gag.

[Done]

83. The hummer soap box derby

:nuke:

[cestpaspossible]

85. Last night I dreamt I was fastforwarding thru the commercials.

Isn't that sick?

[nytemare]

86. "Digger the Dermatophyte" toenail fungus

I forget the medicine name, but that commericial is pretty disgusting.

[miss_kitty]

105. That is gag-eriffic

seriously. I nearly get my gag on when that ad happens.

[proud2BlibKansan]

112. Yes, gag me!

That one is repulsive.

[Liberal Veteran]

88. When is a diet pill worth 152 dollars a month?

God...I hate that woman selling Leptoprin. She looks like the love child of Dana Scully and Tasha Yar.

[blondeatlast]

90. What is with the pacing, too?

The whole thing creeps me out, and she isn't even the least bit attractive, IMHO.

[Liberal Veteran]

95. That's what Leptoprin does do you apparently...

Make you ugly, creepy, and unable to sit still.

And have you noticed that outfit she wears in the commercial looks wrinkled and fits poorly?

[Skittles]

119. you've got fat on your stomach and thighs......right?

gee whiz, isn't that where fat goes IF YOU'RE FAT???

[blondeatlast]

91. Dennis Miller/NetZero. No more need be said.

I win.

[Liberal Veteran]

96. Netzero rocks!

Oh, wait...I meant NetZero is for rocks.

[peekaloo]

115. Gawd, he says HALF like he's coughing up a furball.

[mcscajun]

97. Any commercial with Sarah Jessica Parker in it.

Ugh.

[davis_islander]

98. Old Navy commercials and the one where

that guy screams "I LOVE THIS WOMAN!" in the middle of some European looking town square, BARF!

[fluffernutter]

99. the dipwads who shave in the carwash and make out while doing so.

wtf is that all about?

[Hans Delbrook]

100. Those Carrot Top ads

I mute them and he's still annoying as hell!

[Eugene]

101. Any Crestor ad

Patrick Stewart's Seuss-like voiceovers
are mind numbing! :grr:

[stpalm]

102. Do you wanta wanta Fanta?Do you wanta wanta Fanta? (nt)

[tanyev]

104. The two Sonic guys.

Aaaaaaggghhh! Instant mute.

[proud2BlibKansan]

108. Any drug commercial

I am sick to death of paying for the stupid drug commercials that have taken over my television.

[Skittles]

109. the diamond commercials where the women act like whores

trading love for diamonds. :puke:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

113. The idiots gyrating and grabbing their asses on the Pepto-Bismol ads

Also hate the "I LOVE THIS WOMAN!" ad and all Hummer ads.

[Paladin]

110. That Asshole On The "Who's Mr. Goodwrench" Ads

They ought to put that creep and Gilbert Godfreed (from that new, irritating-beyond-belief Aflac ad)in a small room and let them drive one another crazy. Rest assured I will never, ever use the services provided by these advertisers, as long as I live.......

[mac56]

116. That's Stephen Colbert from "The Daily Show".

Previously from "Strangers With Candy".

Hysterically funny.

[TOhioLiberal]

114. I don't know if it is a national commercial...

but there's on by Helzburg (?) Diamonds. Guy walking down the street with a gift wrapped box, song playing in the background (I swear!) '...I gotta mojo box' EVERY woman that he passes by looks like they'd throw him to the ground and screw him senseless. Its that song! On the local morning news they show that commercial every break! :grr:

[d_b]

117. Nothing comes to mind.

But the 'white's metal detector' guy who finds a ring for his wife pwns all.

[donheld]

121. Any US Military ad

They all discust me to no end. I think some are just plain lies.

[Left Is Write]

122. I just thought of another: The Bombay Sapphire gin ad -

the one that looks like someone's drug trip.

[steely]

124. Any ADM ad

agribiz that sounds ominous
