I realised that the TV providers in my country like money very much .They don't mind if 1 commercial repeats for 100 times/days.If you watch Vietnamese TV,you will smash your TV !!!! Really !.A show just 30 mins but commercials takes 15 mins or more.It's insane :(:drool: . Especially,when I watch GPL championship (game contest in my country),wishing a happy new year commercials repeats a lot :rawrmayor: .The TV provider wants me to die !!!.Just tell your wish 1 time,repeats a lot will reduce my age !!!!!!

I'm not sure but I believe the commercials that annoy me the most are the local ad ones .Like the one for my employer. It's bad enough that I hear the Can Can song at work I have to hear it at home too? And there's this one for a Car dealership and it keeps saying the name "NissonNisson23Nisson." Over and over and there is this random porcupine in the commercial. It makes no sense and gets stuck in my head.

Some Japanese commercials that add a bunch of crap that has nothing to do with the product, and it is just a promo spot for some idol. Then everyone claims at how cute it is... ugh

1. In general, commercials that target other specific brands.
2. AT&T commercials with Luke Wilson. Seriously, they're not even better than Verizon. Everybody I know with AT&T has big problems with getting any reception at my school, and I see people leaving their apartments to go stand on this hill outside to talk all the time. I have Verizon and it's like 95% fine for me.
3. The Mac vs. PC ones.
4. The commercials for HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. WTH? They're trying to make people who are against HFCS look like idiots, and then tell us this processed crap is GOOD for us. I don't know about other people, but I tend to not trust anything that's been processed. Real sugar for me, please. They also try to say that HFCS is "fine in moderation," but what about when people consume large amounts, WHICH IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN with the amount of processed crap that goes into our food these days? JSDKGLSD WORST COMMERCIALS EVER.

The commercials for Bing search engine.

I hated that commercial for gap or old navy kids clothes that was on around Christmas.
"I love this comfy sweater...how cute are these boots? How cute are these boots?" GAH! Annoys me just thinking about it.

wiccanmaid 02-16-2010 06:07 AM

I aggree I hate the old navy ads with the clothes models. If i wanted to hear stuff like that I whould watch Enertainment weekly.

Amen to that. It's like, that stuff doesn't even NEED to be advertised, condoms too. If people stop buying the latter, we are in serious trouble lol.

I also personally hate the mop commercial, for the swiffer jet I think? The mop's always crying because it misses the owner? It's so dumb, it's like it was made for infants.

Melody 02-17-2010 02:55 PM

I don't think there are many commercials I like. My most hated commercials are Geico (They over charge so much for car insurance it's not even funny. :/ ) Enzite or any other male enhancement drug. I also hate all of the commercials that deal with people who have some medical problem but didn't care enough to get it fixed until it caused erectile dysfunction. It was bad before your pecker stopped working right, get it fixed BEFORE that happens!
Old navy manikins ugh. enough said.
and Target commercials.
There are probably more but they slip my mind.

Cinnamonbun08 02-18-2010 02:48 AM

I really don't like those GoDaddy website commercials. I feel like those women are fake and err... promiscuous. I hate how some companies rely on sex to sell things. Even web domains. <_<; Ugh.

memyselfndI 02-18-2010 11:53 PM

Alright, so on Channel Five there's an ad.
It's a middle-aged woman with curlers in her hair, a purple hoop skirt and a tight purple corset (which should have been at least a little looser... Especially up top, if you get my meaning).
She starts talking about how there's nothing to do on a Saturday night, and then a light bulb goes off and she backs away from the camera.
Suddenly giant bingo balls drop form the ceiling and gather behind her and they all start singing about "Channel5 Bingo".

Every time I see it, I freeze. Literally freeze. I can't move to change the channel or to even look away. That's how horrifying it actually is.

demiyoukai 02-19-2010 06:47 PM

fox's bingo ad they killed the song "Your the one that I want" THEY KILLED IT T^T why?

Risque 02-21-2010 03:15 AM

How about those jewelery commercials? It's so damn materialistic it makes me RAGEEEEEEEEEEE

Sadistic Deer 02-21-2010 06:51 AM

I CANNOT stand the commercials for 'General Insurance'. The actors are horrid and are always way over enthusiastic about the stupidest stuff. Especially the one with some guys on their laptops, ugh.

'OMIGAWD, THE GENERAL?1!?!11?//ONE'

Kelken 02-21-2010 07:03 AM

next day floors commercials ( my five year old cuz could do a better job)and super linens (what's withthat crazy laugh)

ElysiumFate 02-21-2011 01:28 AM

I think I've said this before...but the E-surance baby commercials. Make them stop. /gags

/whoops. Unintentional thread necro. Thought it said 2011.

alexandrakitty 03-27-2011 02:29 AM

Commercials tend to be bossy and patronizing, going on about made up problems and try to get people insecure over nonsense. The teeth whitening commercials are idiotic -- the woman is all excited about her wedding, but then her smile isn't "white enough." That kind of dreck...

Aspinou 03-30-2011 07:21 PM

@Elysium I don't mind thread necros, can be quite intresting at times xD xD



I really don't like commercials at all (infact they are the reason I rarely watch traditonal tv anylonger) but the ones that I hate the most are those that pisses me off with sexist, masogonist, racist, homofobic.. etc. messages. Like the add for a certain nationalistic and racist political party, that aired during our last election. Everytime it showed Iwanted to hit someone and scream my lungs out.

1982-Lolita 04-01-2011 10:18 PM

These commercials in Canada that have people being hurt, maimed, or killed due to their own stupidity but then ending it with "I blame the company for my lack of common sense". It is seriously facepalm worthy.

And they are done in such an over the top manner that you just end up laughing.

Black Phoebe 04-02-2011 07:00 AM

Most of the Axe commercials piss me off because not only is it sexist towards women, but it's condescending towards men as well, I mean, they treat their target audience like idiots

'use this, spray half the bottle, and attractive women will desire you'

first off, it smells HORRIBLE, especially when the guy uses half the bottle of that crap

if you're gonna use sex to sell your product, can't you be a bit more clever and discreet?

alexandrakitty 04-02-2011 10:58 PM

I just thought of one -- Hellman's Mayonnaise with their pseudo-alternative posturing -- the bad crunchy music, and their declaration that they won't tone it down. What are they talking about? They are a mainstream food product, they aren't fooling people with more than one functioning brain cell...

Gentle Neko 04-03-2011 10:00 PM

Here's a few that really irk me.
1. Totino's Pizza(The one where the two girls are singing and dancing like a bunch of retards. Those two almost look like they're on drugs!)
2. Jared's Commercial (Oh yes! The "HE WENT TO JARED'S!" commercial. It's so sickening! I always want to puke every time I see that one.)
3. E-Surance(Come on! Talking babies?)
4. Old Navy (I just want to take a chainsaw and chop the damn mannequins up!)
5. Stride Gum (Really? Honestly, I am not a fan of stride gum and the commercials don't seem to be working.)
6. 5 Gum(Awesome movie like visual effects to advertise chewing gum. Why is that?)

-Commercials that I currently hate.-

But don't you think they are such a sign of the times? Scary plastic faces with frozen grins that have no lines or wrinkles? No curves on the bodies and just stand there?
