Also this one, It's freaky.

i don't like the AT&T and other phone service commercials. they are just competing way too much! it's really annoying the way they compare themselves to each other.

That one yoplait light commercial with the wife on the phone and the guy looking through the fridge. The wife is sooooo annoying, I can not stand her.

Dvr is great! But when I don't have that connivence of fast forwarding through commercials I cant stand the ones that scream at you. Oh god Scratch and Dent world. >.>

I have a delightful quote for you;
"What's the first thing you notice about me? Is it my piercing eyes? My impressive salsa moves? It certainly won't be occasional bladder weakness!"
:lol: That one's for some kinda panty liner I believe, also;
"Girls...it was hard and really uncomfortable again!"
, from an advert for a stool loosener.

Advertisements for medication aimed at women are the worst!

there's a lot of commercials, pretty much I hate any commercial that has been played over 10 times during the course of a movie that is currently playing on a channel..

BinkaKitty 01-20-2010 03:21 AM

i just remembered what has always been my least favorite commercial that i've ever seen. that fruity cheerios commercial from several years ago, the one with that happy happy joy joy song! >_< that really annoyed the hell outta me!

Imaginative Sarah 01-20-2010 07:44 AM

I can't stand that male enhancment either... i laugh sometimes when it comes on but then im immuned to it alot when i see it... its like.. we get it already! everybodys already seen it!
Extenzeeeeeeeee! oh and

Head on apply directly to the forehead commercial is the one that really used to annoy me but then they took it off and started making fun of their own commercial, which really was effective. The annoyance of it gave it publicity and it made it on the news as one of the most annoying commercials ever which made people curious about the product. Pretty clever I have to admit.

Covet 01-20-2010 05:44 PM

haha! I hate that "girls .. it was really hard and uncomfortable today!" haha! do older women really sit and talk like that? no.. really really elderly ladies maybe.. and then only to their care providers or best friends. but yeah those commercials really make me squirm. that extenze one really disgusts me too cause they show these gross people that you know they are doing it and like they smile all sleazy about it and stuff... >< .."well, I'm bigger." "and you're not embarassed to say?" "ah, no way!" bleh :/

Inwe 01-21-2010 07:06 PM

I hate the "Talk to your kid about sex commercials" XD You'll just be sitting there eating dinner with your family and then that commerial comes on and you're like... "Oh God... If I don't look at them they won't say anything..." I know that I'm 18 but I still get that feeling that they're going to give the "talk" or some crap! XD LOL

And I REALLY hate the "Chat with singles now", onlinebootycall, and Girls Gone Wild commercials. You can't watch ANYTHING late at night on Comedy Central without seeing boobage... -___-

Beetle 01-22-2010 12:18 AM

Has anyone seen that commercial, where the little boy is at a trainstation with his mum, she walks away and he starts crying? It's an anti smoking ad.

I remember they redid the commercial with a customer stopping the commercial mid-way and mocking the commercial then saying, I hate your commercial but I love your product!

OH MY GOD! I actually think I remember seeing that one xDDD I do hate the Head On commercial...but that one was pretty funny xD



let's see...commercials I hate..........well...like everyone...all those male enhancement ones...like smiling Bob *shudders*...What bugs me about the commercials is that they have them on Kid's channels during the DAY when the kids can see them. it's just wrong and it's sexualizing kids at too young an age. Wouldn't bug me if they did them late at night or really early in the morning.

The new Geico commercials have been pissing me off a lot too...I miss the gecko from the early commercials...now the commercials are just annoying...though there IS one that amused me...though it's really the stupidity of the commercial that amused me more than anything. it's the office one where they're talking about the ring tones on the Geico website...it's the buisness man's ringtone that goes "ring ding diggity dong ding" or something like that. It's such a bad ringtone that it's funny.

ANYWAYS...what are others that annoy me...OH!!! The bowflex commercials =_= mostly because of this one commercial they had going where the guy said "I gave all my fat clothes to all my fat friends." I mean...seriously...how is that NOT offensive? I wanted to punch the guy...I think the company got calls because of that...because after a while they took that part of the commercial out.

OH!!! AND THE NEW NETFLICKS COMMERCIALS. God...those are so STUPID...Just...yeah...it's mostly the ones that involve the family...like the one where it was this family deciding on what movie to watch =_= and the other one with the african american guy and his child are at the door...I think that the guy they're going to see is a new neighbor or something like that...and this guy opens the door and they're explaining that they're there to give him peanut brittle and then he's like "Peanut brittle? Wanna watch a movie?" and then the conversation goes stupid from there...I think what bugs me about those commercials is the bad acting...

The ones that REALLY piss me off are those commercials about High Fructos Corn Syrup...EVERYTHING SAID IN THAT COMMERCIAL IS A FUCKING LIE!!! I've learned quite a bit about that stuff from a friend of mine who looks up this kind of stuff because she's a health food nut. She doesn't touch high fructos corn syrup anymore...I just get so pissed at those commercials because they're making light of something that is actually pretty bad for you.

the ONE commercial I actually think should be shown all the time is this one that's about thinking about what you say and who you could be offending when you say "that's so gay". A commercial supporting tolerance just makes me so happy. I think there should be more of those.

You mean you're 18 and your parents never gave you the sex talk? I was given the sex talk when I was like....13 or something...maybe 12.

nette 01-22-2010 05:37 AM

I really can't stand when certain commericals are on at inapropriate times of the day. Like the male drugs, birth control pill and those itimate product commercial. I mean really do these people not realize that there are still kids up at these times of the day (which is often the afternoon) watchig tv with their parents or siblings! Could you imagine an eight year old asking what ky was? That is so not something I want a kid to see. They should air these things on more adult networks like comedy central or spike and for the networks past 10 or 11 pm please! Adult don't give kids enough credit they like to think that kids are stupid and won't figure these things out. Well kids are alot smarter now a days and some of them well figure it out. They shouldn't grow up before they have to their kids and should remain so.

Covet 01-22-2010 02:28 PM

I like the commercial about "watch what you say when you say that's gay" and they say cut it out. I appreciate that commercial. I really hate those Suddenlink commercials. I hate that company. And I think its really tacky for them to air those male enhancement commercials, period. The subtle ones are OK, but the ones that talk about "oh I'm bigger now, huhuh" gross.. that would creep me out if I were a kid. It might make me afraid of men. And if I had seen those Girls Gone Wild commercials as a kid, I might have gotten the idea that guys only like girls who act that way - girls already get bombarded with pressure to look good.. Luckily my mom talked to me matter of factly that some people act this way, some people don't, and she taught me that there are people that are respectful of your privacy and you respect your body too. So practically every commercial on tv that's tacky, my son and I discuss what we think of it. It encourages him to not get brainwashed by stupid commercials, even subconsciously.

I also really hate that commercial about BUMP-IT's! Those are so stupid!! :/

~NorthEastFire~ 01-22-2010 03:03 PM

I can't stand ANY commercials, but I particularly hate those "Head-On" ones.

Dystopia 01-24-2010 01:41 AM

xD; There's an advertisement for a game called Ebony floating around the internet. You probably know what I'm talking about. They look like porn ads? "Come play, My Lord"? Yeah, those.

Actually, a friend of my friend tried it out. Apparently, there are no scantily clad women in the game itself. He sent them an email complaining about false advertisement. *snorts*

Izumi 01-24-2010 01:46 AM

The bear sheriff commercial...the one where the lady is insulting the bear sheriff cake. It is SO stupid.

Krusadin 01-24-2010 08:08 AM

I hate coca cola zero ads. I hate everything about them. The male narrators voice, the macho guys in them and the stupid idea that a soda could magically increase your sex appeal. Drink milk kids, it's better for your bones and teeth.

Strawberry Shortcake 01-26-2010 08:09 PM

I absolutely hate personal injury claim adverts! They are so annoying, and they all have the same generic "have you been injured by something that wasn't your fault" and have stupid stories where people get money from the most ridiculous things!

I also hate price comparison website adverts, especially 'confused.com'. Makes me want to get a bat out and go to town.

It is sad that people don't notice how one way it is. Sure you may get tips and tricks from the books, but the point is... that guy is probably rich just having people buy his book, not because he got free money from the government.

Here is that guy I was talking about.

Matthew Lesko Commercial
YouTube - Matthew Lesko Commercial

And here is a criticizing article about him
Matthew Lesko - Unmask the Hype and Rip-off That Is "Free Money To Pay Your Bills"

===

On another note, even though I don't live in Canada... I saw these Adverts on YouTube... and they annoy me, but they are also extremely funny. Because whatever is happening in the video to the people, is common freakin sense! And they want to blame the company for it.

Instead of making the adverts meaningful... they decide to go all zombie horror on people, which completely negates the point they are trying to make.

Look for WSIB (Workplace Safety Insurance Board) or just click
YouTube - NinjaRabbit3's Channel

XxXshizuki-chanXxX 02-01-2010 12:22 AM

hannah12319 02-05-2010 08:00 PM

oh my gosh same there so irratating

Beccaii 02-12-2010 01:25 AM

I just absolutly hate those commericals that show stuff like shamwow and all that dumb infocommericals (not really sure how you spell that so i guessed) one other that i can think of are those shake weights, all those seen on tv stuff...Aahh makes me get headaches like does anyone actually buy that stuff.

Also, not a big fan of those eHarmony ones, they just get so annoying and those free credit report ones i just think they keep getting more annoying. The old navys ones I just find pointless and I just kindof want to track down the person that though hey talking manniquins sounds cool and punch them in the face.

Frankly I can't stand alot of commericals so now I just mute the majority of them so I won't have to listen to any of it.
