Current TV Ads you Absolutely HATE!

[stopbush]

Mine:

1. That stupid Subaru B9 ad where the car drives by and every other car dissolves into dust or something "old"

2. That annoying ad that shows cars being hurled into the desert and crashing into the ground. The commercial ends with some writer/designer tossing paper wads at a wastebasket.

BTW - when they produce ads like #2 above, does the film crew scour the area and clean up every last piece of trash they've used to defile the landscape?

[elshiva]

1. Hate that car commercial that ends

"which one will they choose...depends on where he wants to sleep tonight"
:puke:

[DS1]

2. Anything with that loudmouth scumfuck Billy Mays

I wish he'd die.

[stopbush]

14. "BILLY MAYS HERE!!! Try oxi-clean anal rooter!!!

Your anus will be as clean as a whistle. Look, normal soap and water leaves a ton of poop in your anus. But oxi-clean turns that anus as clean as can be, all while providing a nice tingling sensation. The secret is in the tiny bubbles..."

[DS1]

16. That dude is quickly catching up to alarm clocks as the entity that's

woken up the biggest number of Americans.

I can fall asleep to some tv shows, but then that fucker shows up with his BILLY MAYS HERE bullshit.

Well, fuck you Mr. B Mays, I hate you, and anything you sell.

[Left Is Write]

21. I like Oxyclean, but can't stand Billy Mays.

[TheMightyFavog]

30. Reminds me of the annual villans RPG game at USWP's RPG con...

Every year it is tradition for the Villains game to involve killing off annoying celebrities. They've made Carrot Top dial down the center with his face and did away with billy mays by forcing him to do a beer bong full of Oxy Clean.

[WCGreen]

3. Any Diteck commercial.....

What is cable gonna do for revenue when all them discount mortgage companies get shafted by the House bubble.....

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

4. I also hate the Subaru ad

With "Dust in the Wind"? I associate that song with death and don't like to see it used in a stupid car ad.

Otherwise, I hate the Enzyte ads.

[Democracy White]

5. I would imagine that they do.

Plus where do they get the money and the cars to do that with?

I hate all of the "Smiling Bob" commercials though I haven't seen it as of lately.

The "I'm your Venus, I'm your desire" shaving razor commercials.

Any shampoo commercial

Any body wash/ soap commercials

Any house disinfectant commercial, they make it seem like your house is just a cesspool of bacteria. I don't care otherwise.

Those Swiffer commercials, who the fuck would be so fascinated by a dust mop for cryin' out loud.

33. You should have seen the household products commercials in the late '60s-

early '70s.

Perfectly coiffed and made up women in perfect daytime dresses obseessing over grass stains on their KID's clothesand rust rings in the toilet.

What's sickening is that we seem to be slowly edging toward that genre again.

The house smells like a dog lives there! HORRORS! Fideaux should be seen and not smelled.

God forbid little Susie spills the cereal--get the Dustbuster NOW! OMG!

[DawgHouse]

44. "You've got ring around the collar!"

[jus_the_facts]

6. they ALL SUCK ASS.....

x(

[jackelope72]

7. The one with the guy jogging

and everything he jogs past deflates suddenly. I've never quite understood what that was supposed to be about.

Any commercial where a woman tells you, "You want to have beautiful _______ (fill in the blank) like I do? Buy this product!" Yeah, like we're really going to find the same stuff she uses right there on the shelves at the local supermarket or department store.

[stopbush]

8. BTW - I saw a Toyota (I think) ad the other day that used the song

"What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor" as background music. I kid you not. I mentioned it to my wife at the time, and she couldn't believe it either. Then, my son started singing the song.

[TheMightyFavog]

31. It's the arrangement made famous by NFL Films.

It was written back in the 60s or 70s for background music for NFL highlight films.

[stopbush]

36. Not being a fan of football or NFL hilites films, I didn't know that.

Ya learn something new every day...

[Left Is Write]

9. The commercial for the Kia or whatever with that song...

"Start having a great life..." (I think that's how it goes), as the Kia is passed from one person to another.

I can't tell you how much I loathe that commercial.


On your #2, I haven't seen the ad in question, but is it possible it was done entirely with a computer and not actual cars in an actual desert?

[stopbush]

12. I hate that one as well. What a stupid song! And that fake

"hippie" with the guitar. Did you notice how he sort of forgets how to walk when he hands the keys off to the next idiot?

On #2 - maybe it was done with computers, but the very idea of littering a natural environment with car parts is obnoxious.

[koopie57]

10. any cereal commercial

where I have to listen to them chew and chomp on their food .. and that car commercial where people throw keys at each other and a horrible voice sings "start ...having a ...good life" and last but not least the one where it looks like a reality show and the people have to live in a miniature house.

[Left Is Write]

18. I can't stand the cereal commercial...

where the woman says, "The clusters are more of a crunch, while the flakes are more of a crisp" and she tries to turn "crunch" and "crisp" into sound effects. Grates on my last nerve.

[DawgHouse]

45. Pepto Bismol with the macarena-like dance

I hate that commercial.

[ghostsofgiants]

48. Those are the fucking WORST!

HEY! Pepto Bismol!

:grr:

[neuvocat]

49. OLD SNL parody of that...

had a bunch of rocks called "Quarry" where no one could hear the other speak because you kept hearing all the rocks grinding together whenever they tried to eat it.

[elshiva]

11. ANY CAR COMMERCIAL IS AWFUL!

Frikking cars offroading messing up the land :puke:

Stupid sexist bickering of couples over SUVs :puke:

[youthere]

13. The "Back to School" commercials..

especially when they are for places like Pier One, or the local car dealership. Who the hell considers a car-or a dining room table as school supplies?

[Left Is Write]

22. Really rich people sending kids to college?

[hobbit709]

15. Any of the drug ads

According to these ads 90% of Americans are either constipated, bloated, have indigestion, can't get it up, and are depressed with "sexual side effects"

[stopbush]

17. Yes! In all of them the side effects sound so much worse than the

problem they're supposed to solve! And why does every one of them promise to give you uncontrollable diarrhea?

[distantearlywarning]

27. Uncontrollable diarrhea might be a nice change...

...if you have been living with bloating and constipation for a while.}(

[Kat45]

43. I just saw one that listed several different kinds of diarrhea!

I didn't realize there were specific types: diarrhea is diarrhea and it's disgusting no matter what.

[Left Is Write]

23. Well...

if you were constipated, bloated, suffering from indigestion, and couldn't get it up, wouldn't you be depressed too?

[LisaL]

24. I just can't stand the commercial where they write the messages

on people's bare stomachs. I switch the channel immediately, so, I have no clue what it's for.

[Merrick]

19. Every Carls Jr. Adover the past 10 years

"If it doesnt get all over the place it doesn belong in your face" - zoom in of people eating hamburgers with ketchup dripping down their faces + amplified mastication noises = most annoying commercials of all time. And their newer campaigns "Don't bother me, I'm eating" and the one with Paris Hilton arent much better.

oh, and their food tastes like cold balls. (last time I checked anyway - its been about 6 years all things considered)

[Pepper32]

20. The drug company ads with the million and one side effects

I especially love the way they try to rush through the laundry list of side effect during the end of the commercial, while the music plays louder. :eyes:

[Ediacara]

25. The whistling Enzyte ads

Disgustingly unfunny humor with a bunch of unsexy actors for a drug designed to enlarge your penis. And a never-ending terrible song!

Another ad I don't hate, but think is silly, is an add for a sleeping aid (can't remember the name). One of the side effects listed is "drowsiness." Drowsiness? I certainly hope so since it's a sleeping pill!

[distantearlywarning]

26. Those stupid body spray commercials

The ones with young couples. There's one with a guy and his buddy being obnoxious over football while their girlfriends are being passive-aggressive about their feelings. And there's another one where the guy and girl go camping and the girl is being...well...girly... in an irritating way (the implication is that he's a bad person for bringing her to a place where there might be *gasp* ANTS! and OWLS! and other OUTDOOR STUFF!)

And then at the end of these commercials the guy comes over and hugs the girl and all is forgiven because she smells his body spray.

I LOATHE these commercials. I don't think I've ever despised a set of commercials as much as these. I think they portray both men and women as vapid, brainless stereotypes, and I throw things at the TV when they come on.

[Left Is Write]

28. I felt that way about the JCPenney ads for their "one day" sales.

The sales are always on a Saturday. The ads depicted a hapless, clueless man trying ineptly to care for children and failing at it. "Where's your mother?" he would say, followed by a shot of Mom happily shopping in peace at JCPenney.

The voiceover would say, "Don't worry, Dad! It's only one day!"

The implication is, of course, that women are shopaholics who can't be kept away from the one-day sale, and men are too stupid and clueless to care for their own children.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

29. I also hate the Tom Park car ads in Dallas

That guy followed us here from Kansas! We used to see him on ads for a car dealership in Hutchinson, Kansas.

[Initech]

32. All of them!

Although more specifically those Corona "great moments of the time out" commercials.

[wryter2000]

34. Digger the Demratophyte

Not sure of the spelling. But that's like fingernails on the chalkboard for me. Eeeeeeaaarrrgggh!

In general, I hate all the "ask your doctor" commercials, especially the ones where they don't tell you what the frigging drug treats.

And, I hate, hate, hate to see "Fallen Heroes" followed by something like a toilet scrubber or air freshener. Get a fucking clue. The person died so you can a neat and tidy toilet bowl? :mad:

[blondeatlast]

35. The ones for the Male body spray where the women can't keep their

hands off of the guy.

Give me a break--and a little credit for having some taste. UGH.

Most liquor commercials, including beer, but DiSaranno (or whatever it is) is worthy of special note.

[Cush]

37. Fitness Made Simple

http://www.fitnessmadesimple.com/

Dude looks like a Ken Doll on 'roids

[hallc]

39. LOL!

I always thought that his head looked so weird on that body...I can't even look at him!

[jakefrep]

38. I hate the "Stand Up and Speak Out Against Tobacco" ads...

...those smug, annoying, apple-polishing teeny-boppers make want to take up smoking out of spite.

[nytemare]

40. Those fucking McDonalds "I'm Loving It" commercials

Ba da bop ba baaaaaaaaaaaa go suck an egg!

[hallc]

41. the Daisy sour cream commercial

You can light up a room with a dollop...a dollop...of Daisy!

:puke:

[Kat45]

42. Oh, I HATE that Daisy commercial--and its stupid jingle.

That ad seemed to be on a zillion times a day. So I did what I always do with particularly annoying songs: changed the lyrics to something disgusting. Now I amuse myself by singing "with a dollop...a dollop... of feces!"

[mconvente]

46. Wendy's commercials

Dave Thomas RIP man because ever since you've left us Wendy's commercials have sucked so bad it's not even funny. They got rid of the Wendy's guy and they're commercials are even worse now. The one about grandma's picture in the kitchen, the MMMMM!!!!! salad one, and the stupid square divit thingy. They all fucking suck. And for you NY/NJ/CT DUers, that fucking MAJOR AUTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

radio commercial is horrible. I won't buy you're shit since you're screaming at me fucker.

[BrewerJohn]

47. One time not long ago I was coming up the stairs toward the TV

And on the TV audio were screams. Blood-curdling, agonized screams. Screams that could easily have come up from Hell (assuming one believes in such a place, which I don't). I wonder what kind of new horrors they're putting on prime time now. I get to the top of the stairs and check the screen.

Turns out it was all about *mold*.

MOLD.

Burn in the Hell I don't believe in, Madison Ave.

[neuvocat]

50. Hm. I haven't had tv since February.

Thanks for the thread.

:)
