Mine would be those horribly HORRIBLY overplayed Ab Lounge excersize machine commercials that they play over and OVER and OVER again ad nauseum on cable/satellite. But I know that like a weed, if I was able to get rid of it, another little fucker would take its place.

So how bout you??

2. Enzyte Commericals
If I have to watch "Smiling Bob" one more time, I'm going to pull an Elvis on the TV.

8. The one with the dancing line of sick people.
I think it's for Pepto-bismol. This line of unfortunates proceeds to cover their mouths, grab their stomachs and then their asses, all in time to music, indicating that whatever they're selling cures vomiting, nausea and diarrhea, I gather. I think it's really over the top and I usually turn away, because just watching this gross exhibition makes me want to puke! Maybe they're hoping I'll run into the next room and chug some right then!:puke:

11. All of the above plus the one I hate the most
is the one where everyone whispers. Paper towels? Toilet paper? I don't even know what it is because the loud whispers just grate on my nerves and I mute it almost as fast as I mute Jr.

12. The patent medicine diet pill one- leptoprin or something like that
The one where the announcer keeps saying that this stuff really works, but you're not fat enough to need it and you can't afford it anyhow.

14. Who's that guy with the pony tail and the icky bike shorts doing the
Geico commercial now? I'd get rid of that one and "Can you hear me now?". Okay, if I could ditch only one of those two, it'd be the nutjob with the ponytail, baseball hat, and bike shorts. What kills me is that I used to love the little Geico ghecko and actually looked forward to see him and wondering what he'd do next.
