Most Horrible Commercials

Anything depicting jewelry commercials.

I am tired of Flo on the Progressive Insurance commercials.

How about the GEICO Gecko, or even Mayhem from the Allstate commercials?

There was also a locally produced series in the Susquehanna Valley (which is how the local TV station now refer to south central PA) a few decades ago for the Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge dealership in Harrisburg where the tag line used at the end of the commercial who had a very VERY sarcastic and obnoxiously nasal voice screaming RIGHT...HEEEERE... At Harrisburg Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge.

There was a running joke around the area that combined the famous Wendy's "Where's the Beef?" (Which was also airing in the same period of time) ad campaign with the answer to the question being an imitation of the first two words of the Harrisburg Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge ads, followed by the words, in the same obnoxious voice "between Wendy's buns!! ! (Buns referring to a certain part of the human anatomy that guys usually like to pinch on the opposite sex.)

"Ancient Chinese secret, huhhhhh?"

Example.

Mike Myers did a parody of the ad in Wayne's World, the movie.

All the commercials with very happy families. They are happy because they bought a detergent or a yoghurt. It's a kind of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" situation.

All ads about 'feminine products.' Not only is it embarrassing and not something I want to think about while watching Tv (often having a snack), but they are just sooo happy in the commercials, which is bizarre. Also they are always wearing white clothing. Not very realistic in the circumstance.

The commercials in which the woman runs through a field of daisies like she's just been given a dose of some euphoric drug, because she found a good tampon, are especially bizarre.

I've heard worse commercials on the radio.

There were two McDonalds commercials that were really bad.

One advertised some new milkshake. It went like this: Some kid wanted to go to McDonalds for a milkshake but his mom said no because his team didn't win the game so she decided to go get a milkshake and eat it in front of him. (AM I HEARING THIS RIGHT?!?!)

Then there was one on the new iced coffees. The two girls were sick and tired of the word hot being used all the time in description of something (You know what it means.) so they took a sip of an iced coffee and then suddenly cold became the new hot. Cold already has a meaning. A feeling of unpleasant dislike.

Then there was some Steakhouse commercial during Christmas time that featured the WORST and disturbing Santa Claus voice that could frighten a two-year-old.

If there was one from TV, It would be from the time when the first Shrek movie came out. My Misophonia kicked in full swing into my Asperger's and burping and belching was already driving me crazy. The fast food commercials at the time made me swore off TV for a whole year. I went to video games instead.

A local "cash for gold" pawn shop owner. He is known for his ridiculous commercials.

"SOMEONE HELP ME I HAVE A FLAT TIRE"! !! !! !

The talking baby ones are the worst. I don't even understand how that can be seen as funny or cute. It's even more disgusting when said baby is talking about women and money. Ugh.

Ugh! Yes! The talking baby with the soulless black eyes and oddly flat skin tone creeps me out. I think that is an ad for e-trade?

Yes, but I can't stand any commercials with babies in them, really. Back when everyone was laughing at the dancing baby, I was utterly repulsed.

I also don't like commercials with families or kids in them.

I like to see real babies or cute animals in ads, usually. But the dancing babies and other computer manipulated babies are a little creepy to me.

I find pretty much all medical commercials annoying as hell.

< cue sad music >

< look of pain >

< insert condition > getting you down? Ask your doctor about < insert brand name >

< cue happy music and pretty scenery >

< happy couple dancing >

In clinical trials < blah blah blah.... >

Children under the age of 12 and women who are nursing, pregnant, or who may become pregnant shouldn't take < insert brand name >. Notify your doctor if you have < blah blah blah... >.

Side effects include dry mouth, headache, diarrhea, nausea, rapid heart rate, projectile vomiting, suicidal urges, profuse sweating, confusion, paranoia, sudden changes in personality, unexplained shopping sprees, violent outbursts, brain tumors, and bleeding gangrenous skin lesions that may result in amputations or death.

Ask your doctor if < insert horrible symptom > occurs, this may indicate a serious medical complication. In rare cases a sudden drop in blood pressure may result in death. This occurred in less than 1% of clinical trials.

I hate many of the insurance commercials- especially the one I posted above.
-Progressive-The bundler with the announcer
- The test drive commercial for Volkeswagon
- Most of the Geico Gecko ones
- Hardware store commercial wehre everyone has a Nickname for Rod
- Napa commercial with the talking oil cans
- NASCAR coke racing family
- The Dunkin Donuts when ever take sips of their ice coffee ice cream truck music starts playing.

The Cox Cable commercials. Ugh...that guy is such an idiot. Oh, and the Progressive Insurance commercials with Flo...she's creepy and needs to go away.
