irritating commercials

Post Reply New Topic

What commercial do you find particularly irritating? For me, in the US it's those overly macho burger commercials- the "guys don't bake" ones.

Any of the "Bing.com" commercials. Toyota also can't seem to come up with an un-annoying commercial for the Prius.

I kind of like the wireless commercial that has all the lists of statistics and various graphs, though. I can't remember what company it's for, but that one's amusing. I like lists. <shrugs>

The ones for cleaning products. One of them goes "Bam, and the dirt is gone!".

The ones for sanitary napkins. "Always...Have a happy period."

All of them. (almost)

I don't like the messages in these Hardee ads. You're a real man if you're a selfish jerk and you're not a real man if you do nice creative things for people.

It would have to be all of those stupid erectile dysfunction product commercials as well as all of the phone whore ones.

The phone whore ones make me laugh. There's one especially where a woman is trying to get through some veils and she's supposed to be some winsome fairy sprite or something.

Years ago, Sprite had these commercials where they sang about "The Sprite in You." Those commercials were so annoying that I eventually stopped drinking Sprite.

It's also been the same with Subway singing about their five dollar foot long. Sure, the song sticks in my head, but since that advertising campaign started, I haven't eaten at Subway.

Those Head On ones. Also, any that don't actually say or make obvious what the product is for.

During the worst part of my unemployment period, the Powerball's "Lucky Dance" commercial would cause me to have a full-blown panic attack.

I am annoyed by the sham-wow commercial. There is a part where he is sopping up some coke. He rolls it up and it looks dryer than a popcorn fart and then when he brings it over the bowl it looks soaked with coke. There has to be some video editing during that sequence.

For me, it's those free credit report commercials and that damn Heineken commercial with the white people rapping in a taxi cab and the Frank Rizzo look-a-like cabbie singing at the end.

I don't really like the energizer bunny commercials. They scare the living crap out of me (mainly that bass drum and the one time you see the bunny without it's sunglasses).

Those Geico commercial's with the stack of money and eyes, they dont make any sense to me all.

The subway commercials with the "5 dollar footlong" songs, its like they are trying to force it on us as a catchy song when there is nothing catchy about it.

I agree about the Hardees commercials.
