Any commercials out there you cannot stand?

I cannot stand that Your Baby Can read commercial and I also get sick of other ads I keep seeing when I watch my TV shows. One of them is with dinosaurs singing about brushing your teeth twice a day and floss once a day and there is another where they are playing a game that is a Guitar Hero version and the other is about planting a tree. Then there are a few others I just cannot stand because I hear them all the time when I watch my shows. Thank goodness for TIVO.

Anything that has to do with Barbie is pretty annoying to me. If there wasn't Barbie, gender stereotypes wouldn't be as strong as they are.

Those shampoo/makeup/moisturiser ads which use made up scientific sounding words. "Buy the new Nivia Because You're Worth It Super Duper Special Creme now, with hydro-elastic atono-tronic soothing technology!" :roll:

I find the anti-drugs rise above the influence adds that come on back to back with adds for perspiration medication or sexual enhancement medication to be very annoying. It makes no f#*king sense. They tell people not to do drugs rite before or after they are being marketed to for perspiration medication. That is so hypocritical

I kind of like those commercials, I think they're funny enough and not too serious so that teenagers will relate to them more. It's about time someone said something about the "that's so gay" phrase.

I can't stand the KFC commercials where they make KFC meals out to somehow be healthy and fresh out of a farmer's market.

Whoever made this contraption can't possibly respect their consumer base.
