The commercials I can't stand are the kids' cereal commercials; I think they're trying to trick little kids to get the cereal, as in the Trix commercial with the humanoid rabbit; also the head on and this one Dairy Queen commercial that had men dancing next to cows with some song on it and at the end of it, it said "Milk...shakes" and I thought it was disqusting. Also, there was one period commercial where they made a metallic ball move around on a sanitary pad like a pinball machine. I think commercials have really gone down the tubes nowadays.


I hate those commercials too. The commercials for fast food restaurants and Red Bull are annoying too.

Every ad mentioned so far annoys me too!

Others include:

Febreeze (That stuff doesn't work. That and cat pee make an even more noxious odor when mixed.)

The Raisin Bran commercial with the three idiots.

Any feminine hygiene product ad. Too much information!

The most recent Fruit of the Loom underwear ad.

Almost all ads for medications. The side effects are more horrendous than the condition you're trying to treat.

Allthough this TV ad is in a mix between norwegian and swedish, you don't have to understand the language to see why it's annoying. This commercial was sent every 15. minutes or so on norwegian TV a while ago.

I hate the Allegra ads featuring that bee with the crappy accent. (Is he supposed to be French or Spanish or what?)

I also hate ads in which they take a perfectly good song and ruin it by changing the lyrics to make it about the product. DO. NOT. WANT.

I know I'm pathetic for watching kids' channels, but there are some cartoons that I like.

But I really think that the person who came up with the words of the Moon Shoes commercial needs to get stranded on an island in the arctic ocean.

"Gotta get those shoes - It's a neccesity!! !"

Um, yeah. No. No it isn't.

"Hopping up and down like a Kangaroo!"

Aren't we supposed to act civilized?

"Jump straight to the moon with shoes that defy gravity!"

Houston, we have a dude who failed physics.


Ugh, I'm too literal, but that bugs me so much.

I hate the most recent Geico ads with sitcom and cartoon characters. Get a grip on reality, people!

I remember, long ago, there was one Snickers ad that p***ed me off so much I never ate another Snickers bar again. It involved a guy who had a cat glued to his back.

Ads encouraging people to sue for everything one can name.

Whoever created the adverts for confused.com should be shot.

Does watching this advert drive you totally insane?
Then come shoot yourself in the head at confused.com etc etc

I'll admit they're clever for repeating the name of the product several times during the advert, but damn do those adverts annoy me.

Other annoying adverts:

The churchill insurance dog (needs to be put down)

McDonald's i'm lovin it (misleading advertising showing healthy people gorging on processed poo)

Barry Scott (not even his real name) shouting about cilit bang (sounds like a cream to get rid of genital warts!)

Almost every single advert aimed at kids for crappy toys or junk food

Car adverts with no point (here's a novel thought mr advertiser, tell me about the car so I know if it's any good or not)

Multi bladed razorblade adverts

The current UK fashion for badly dubbing over piss poor foreign adverts to save money.


What's really annoying for me is that there have been so many brilliant adverts over the years, and even today I still see occasssional flashes of originality and/or brilliance.

Anyway, that's enough venom spat out for now

I will never forgive Dunkin' Donuts for that one.


A lot of Dunkin Donuts commercials during the past 5-6 years have been very annoying. And don't forget that HEAD-ON commercial!! !! The very first HEAD-ON commercial was very annoying. It went like "HEAD-ON, APPLYING DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD" 3 times. You can find the commerical on YouTube.

All the Subway commercials with Jared.
I think he's just a puppet for Subway.

I agree about the Charmin commercials with the cartoon bears.
