Most hated commercial? (Part 6)

[NewcomerDC]

The new commercial for the Internet search engine Bing gets my vote for being another bad commercial. Not only is the second girl who still don't a clue that the "treadmill guys" are the band known as OK Go has a voice that's sharp enough to cut your eardrum but her partner didn't do much to shut her up. This can be found at the beginning of select videos shown on Blip.tv.

[Nexonius]

That Gushers commercial. That's........just gross.

Am I the only one who actually appreciates OK Go because of their music more than their videos?

[Doz Hewson]

Now, I know, just know, that there're some of you who either hate UPS' new WE [ARROWED HEART] LOGISTICS (tm) campaign, think it bad, or consider it an irritating nitpick. If you do, please explain, to me and other TZers, why. Thanks.

[NewcomerDC]

You're not wrong with this opinion. Some people are just drawn into easily entertaining music videos.

You hate commercials? Now you can do something about it. Well, at least you can vote in an online poll. Vote for the worst in Consumerist's contest.

Good, the Modelquins are in that ballot. I thought they were gone, since Old Navy was using that small guy over the summer, but guess what showed up tonight. GAAAH!

[Kitschensyngk]

I recently saw the long version of the Quizno's commercial with the "singing" kittens.

Seeing it wasn't so bad, but HEARING it...

[Tobias]

I can't express how much I really- REALLY- hate the Wrightnows Netflix ads.

[JShaggy]

I just saw a new Snuggie commercial last night and I already hate it. It was done to the tune of the Macarena, and I just thought to myself afterwards "Why won't this song die?".

[Miyamoto Musashi]

I hate most food commercials, they are done in a bad way, at least they make me laugh of how bad they are

[Mesousa]

The lastest dumb "respect the pouch" Capri Sun commercial had a girl trading her Capri Sun some watter balloons, and for some reason, makes it seem like the girl did a bad thing, as she turns into a balloon.

May I ask how is that "disrespecting the pouch"?

[Silverstar]

I just saw a new Snuggie commercial last night and I already hate it. It was done to the tune of the Macarena, and I just thought to myself afterwards "Why won't this song die?".

Yeah, I can imagine how the boardroom meeting for that ad went:

"You know, I like the Snuggie commercials that we're doing, but they're just not annoying enough. I know....let's make a new one and set it to THE MACARENA! That'll guarantee that viewers will want to bludgeon themselves with blunt instruments when they see the ad!"

Because she willingly traded a *so called* delicious drink for some measly water balloons. In the pouch's mind, she traded something good for something mediocre.

[Mesousa]

So, apperantly, being curious is a crime.

[Tobias]

If she pelted the guy with the balloons and taken the pouch back, I think she would have been fine.

[Michael24]

The new BK commercials with people walking around singing obnoxious songs. Jeez, bring back the King. At least he never said anything.

Thank you. I feel the exact same way.

[Viper]

Anybody see the new Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles commercial?

I find it absolutely stupid and disgusting!!!:ack::( The CGI is completely awful!!!

What happened?! Did they run out of ideas?! More importantly, did Maurice LaMarche quit playing Fred Flintstone?!

[The Nameless]

Oh yes, I saw the UPS "That's Logistics" spot and hated it. Sounded like it was written by an executive, muted it.

Also, I didn't find the Snuggie Macarena ad rage-inducing (as I don't get the hate for that song, which is probably motivated by "it's an old fad, so it's bad"), but baffling. It hasn't been popular in years, why use it? I don't think the 90s nostalgia boom's supposed to come for another few years anyway.

[Michael24]

Personally, I hated the "Macarena" when it was brand new. Haven't seen the Snuggie commercial with it yet, though.

Actually, I like that commercial since it has the Flintstones done in claymation or whatever. I didn't really find the tastebuds turning into pebbles disgusting.

@Kitschensyngk: Yeah, I ahte those Quiznos commercials.

[Philmister978]

Personally, I hated the "Macarena" when it was brand new. Haven't seen the Snuggie commercial with it yet, though.

I have, albeit briefly.

Also, there's this McDonald's ad that play constantly. It's for their mango McMini sandwich. It has this (Horrible) quartet of females who sing almost everything another woman says (When they say Kick of MANGO! I really want to go to the house of who ever thought this up and kill him right there and then).

I swear, I was expecting them to repeat everything that announcer said as well. Good lord it was horrible.

[tucsoncoyote]

Dean Winters:
I'm a key against your side door...
I'm a wild deer....
I'm a random windstorm...
I'm a hot babe, out jogging...
I'm a filthy rich executive...
I'm the puppy that ate your back seat..
I'm a teenage girl....
I'm Mayhem...

Tucsoncoyote:
No you're freaking not...
You're Dean Winters...
and you know what?
You're not in good hands with Allstate..
and
I'm not going to watch you anymore. (bye bye!)

Let's face facts.. initially these commercials were funny as heck.. seriously they were.. and at first they were okay..

But when you listen to them over and over, and over again.. It gets you to thinking..

What the hell is Allstate thinking? That Dean Winters is cool?

No, no, no. Bow ties and Fezzes are cool..

But as for Dean? He's annoying..

and he's starting to get annoying as Flo (from Progressive) is at the moment.

Enough said.

:coyote:

It seems that every time Nick airs Victorious, they seem to need to air special bumpers informing the viewer of what they're watching.
Sorry, Nickelodeon, I thought I was watching Cowboy Bebop, silly me.

They'll even have them air twice in one break sometimes. Is it really necessary? Don't most viewers have the "info" button these days anyway?


Also, in one of the Zhu Zhu Pets commercials, there's a really random doorbell noise that goes off during it. Nothing in there that makes it fitting, just whoever edited it put it in there since he knew he'd trick people. Well played.

[Kiddington]

Speaking of Nickelodeon... Nicktoons (the channel) seems to insist on airing the music video for whatever song Big Time Rush happens to be promoting for the week.

For the most part, it's hard for me to get mad about boy bands, considering that in 2-3 years these guys will be totally irrelevant ... but still, this constant pushing of their music just irks me to no end. If I'm watching DBZ Kai, Avatar, Rocko, or whatever else I like on that channel, I don't want to sit through a three minute segment of awful boy band dreck during the commercial break. It derails the entire viewing experience.

They do this with pretty much every show on the channel. I don't about you, but I don't know I'm watching Spongebob until they have a bumper come on telling me this fact.

Then thank my ever loving stars I'm not getting it anymore on my cable provider.

[chalmers]

I'm getting pretty tired of the McDonald's "Put the 'M' back in your morning" commercials, where they basically take the 'M's out of every word in a person's speech. It was kind of humorous when they did it with the weather girl, but now that they are expanding it using couples and whatnot, I find it annoying.

[Shawn Hopkins]

Has anyone seen the Five-Hour Energy Commercial, where the wife brings home a six pack of their speed and says her husband recommended it, then sits down next to him on the couch and says he was right "for once" in a very sarcastic and icy voice? Wow, what a ball-breaking witch. Basically, if you're a married man in a commercial you're a dangerous idiot.

[Kitschensyngk]

Dear Snuggie,

Are you aware that it is no longer 1998?

NOBODY dances the Macarena anymore.

NOBODY.

Getting a bunch of people dressed up in your little backward robes to dance it in your commercials will not bring it back. Sorry.

Love,
Kitschensyngk

[Tobias]

The commericals that hype EVERY. LAST. EPISODE. of iCarly as 'special events'. We get it, it's your #1 live action show at the moment, there's no need to hype up every single episode as a 'special event'. The Jane Lynch appearance, yeah, I can understand that being promoted as a special episode. But 'iSpace Out'; 'iBeat the Heat', 'iGot a Hot Room', and the rest are just regular, run of the mill episodes, stop treating them like it's an end of the world 'we're never going to air these again' type episodes.

Surprisingly, the last episode of iCarly wasn't be being billed as a special (about them all selling t-shirts or something; the plot slips my mind at the moment). I remember the promo's actually calling it a regular "new episode" and not a "BRAND NEW iCarly SPECIALLLLLL".

[Blackstar]

The recent Snickers Halloween commercial in which 2 kids are standing on each others' shoulders disguised as a woman who instructs an actual woman in a grocery store to buy plenty of Snickers for the Trick or Treaters, while the one at the top speaks in a voice that's obviously being dubbed by a man speaking in falsetto. That plastic mask with the non-moving mouth scores a 20 on the Creepy Meter. :eek:

[Kryten]

There's this local commercial for an upscale cupcake place. It starts out with this normal-looking, if bland, guy talking about his upscale cupcake place and how delicious his cupcakes are, and then halfway through the ad he transforms into this horriffic giant squeaky-voiced cupcake creature, and it's just... disturbing.

[Scirel]

Actually, I like that commercial since it has the Flintstones done in claymation or whatever. I didn't really find the tastebuds turning into pebbles disgusting.

@Kitschensyngk: Yeah, I ahte those Quiznos commercials.


First thing I thought with the new cocoa/fruity pebbles commercials was that they lost the VA's for Fred and Barney and had to think of soemthing new, fast.

Why even have them there if they're not going to talk?

[The Penguin]

I think Snuggie must be doubling down on being annoying. They know their backwards robe is annoying, so they decided to take up another level to stay in the public eye. It's the only thing that makes sense.

[NewcomerDC]

New hated commercial: Donny Osmond getting schooled by the new Mickey Mouse, voiced by Bret Iwan, dance doll as seen tonight on Dancing with the Stars.

[Kiddington]

Ooops... well, that didn't last long.

Just seen a promo last night on Nicktoons; next week's new episode is indeed a "special". And here I thought they were actually making some progress in their advertising...

[defunctzombie]

I don't know if this one has been mentioned yet. I'm watching Coneheads on comedy central, it's NOON here, and they keep playing a commercial for a feminine massager. If there was ever an inappropriate time for this, it's right now.

[Kitschensyngk]

Dear J.G. Wentworth:

In regards to your ad with the bus passengers singing about your services, including a man in a viking suit:

Look, I liked your first operetta commercial, but don't milk it.

[Butterstar]

While looking through old Toonami, A&E, WB, and other old junk tapes, I found this gem in one of the tapes:

HEAD ON! Apply directly to forehead...

Some Guy: Their commercials are annoying, but I love their product.

Seriously, I can see why this commercial died. Although the product survived till a few months after and ripoffs are still on the market.

[veemonjosh]

I hate the commercial where it's just a bunch of people shouting their windows "IT'S MY MONEY, AND I NEED IT NOW!"

Really, how would you like it if you were trying to relax at home, and then I suddenly start shouting out the window next door at the top of my lungs for no reason? Several dozen times? You'd call the cops on me for disturbing the peace.

[Butterstar]

I hate the commercial where it's just a bunch of people shouting their windows "IT'S MY MONEY, AND I NEED IT NOW!"

I believe that commercial is for Cash4Gold.

Education Connection --- nuff said.

New iCarly special ads --- could you cut it out with the promos already? We get it, it's an iCarly special where (minor plot here) happens.

Most Nick@Nite ads on Nickelodeon --- this just bother me, especially the ones that are censored from what they're going to be uncut on Nick@Nite.

Baby Alive --- I really hope this commercial died. Baby Alive dolls are freaky. *shiver*

Windows 96 was my idea! Mine, mine, mine! --- again, nuff said.

[defunctzombie]

I believe that commercial is for Cash4Gold.
Oh no, that's another JG Wentworth gem.

[PunkPhantom]

I just saw an awful commercial last night.

It was one of those diamond ring commercials. So they have this little song narrating what's happening. That's not the bad part, the bad part is what happened. So the guy is going to propose to his girlfriend who is "perfect in every way" and she's really happy until "she found out what he payed."

So basically she's mad at him for proposing to her and she sprays him with a hose because he didn't throw all his money away on a crappy diamond ring and it's totally OK and justified!!!!:mad:

[Lonestarr]

Got a couple of them:

- Those new Fruit by the Foot commercials ("I've replaced something special to you with Fruit by the Foot.")

- Those moronic, bobbing head Pebbles commercials

They actually make me miss "Pack up your troubles in your ol' kid bag and smile, smile, smile...", so you know we're at Def-Con 1, here.

[Arxane]

There's a new Pizza Hut commercial that irritates me not because it's annoying, but because what someone says in it grates me.

It basically boils down to Pizza Hut saying they've lowered the prices on their pizza so that people don't have to use esoteric coupons to buy pizza cheaply. This is all well and good. But then the guy at the end says:

"People love pizza. They don't love math."

Ugh! Maybe it's because I work with upper level math all the time, but hearing him happily claim that people don't love math at a time when we need our school systems to better promote things like math and science just irks me to no end. There are many ways of saying that simplifying price reductions are a good thing; saying that people hate math is not one of them!

[Tobias]

I want the Wrightnows to drive off a cliff and explode in a fiery ball. I hate their Netflix commercials THAT MUCH.

[Kiddington]

"What's a 13 letter word for marriage proposal?"
"He... went... to... JARED!!!!!"

Ugh. I don't think there's been a single jewelry commercial in the history of mankind that hasn't been some new level of corny, but this one is BY FAR the worst. Honestly, who in the world actually talks like this?

[AJ Skyterra]

That Clean & Clear commercial. I hate hearing that song Wakin Up to Love.... after awhile. There is no girl I know who wakes up like that.

[defunctzombie]

"What's a 13 letter word for marriage proposal?"

When I hear a Jared commercial I think of Jareth. And he's a vain enough person to make silly jewelry commercials.

It must be a plot by the Goblin King to take over our civilization! :D

[Mesousa]

That M&M's Prezels commercial is very, very, very bland.

It's basically "Oh my God, I'm gonna have a prezel in me, oh God."

That's not funny.

[Silverstar]

The latest Kayak.com commercial, where a hot chick named Mandy is chillaxing on the beach with some shirtless dude, and it turns out that Mandy booked her flight with Kayak.com and her boyfriend used some other company, and so he's been up all night and is now asleep in the hotel, and this guy she's with isn't her boyfriend, just some beachcomber she met that morning.

I get the point of the ad, Kayak is superior, but I'm getting a little tired of these disloyal wives and girlfriends in ads who will dump their men to make time with someone else in a heartbeat for the most trivial of reasons, like using a different brand of product. It's a double standard because if the reverse was depicted, and they showed a guy dogging his girlfriend like that, women would be out there with picket signs and boycotting the product.


-Granted, the girl playing Mandy was pretty hot.

[veemonjosh]

I don't know if anyone else has seen this ad, but I've spotted a commercial for one of those "TEXT ____ TO GET THIS!" scams, advertising some app that calculates your chances at ending up with someone.

The premise of the ad is that this girl just started dating this guy and she uses the app, and it gives them a low score, and she gives a "Pff, it's just a stupid cellphone app, what does it know?" expression. Then the announcer cuts over, says something to the effect of "BUT SHE SHOULD'VE LISTENED", and it flashes forward to her wedding day, where she's been left at the altar.

So what they're basically saying is "Put all of your faith in our randomized love calculator or this could happen to you". I've seen some incredibly stupid ads for cellphone apps over the years, but this is by far one of the most idiotic.

Trust me, of all the Jared commercials, that one is by far the least offensive one. All of the other commercials repeat that insipid phrase "He went to Jared" over and over and OVER. The worst one is a wedding announcement at a restaurant where all the guests repeat "He went to Jared" to each other, as well as the restaurant owner in a bad foreign accent. All with dreadful overacting. To top it off, a kid repeats the phrase to the woman as if going to Jared was a big surprise. The woman looks at her fiance and says, "Yes...he went to Jared" as if going to the right jewelry store was more important than the proposal itself.

AWFUL!

[Spaceman]

Just saw a smartphone commercial (I forgot the company's name) where this poor guy gets dumped by his girlfriend while they're having lunch... via text. Not only that, but he confronts her about it face-to-face, only for her to brag and brag about her new carrier's superior data plan and how it facilitated her rude, insensitive break-up with him.

I'm sorry, how was that supposed to be funny? Or make me remotely interested in the product?

Oh! I know those! Those are so annoying! Especially the one that says to text both names to a number and it will tell you the compatability. How do names tell you the compatability? It's just a name! And just because two names aren't compatible doesn't mean you weren't meant to be with that person. And it's just a stupid waste of $9.99 a month. :o Sorry for my long rant.:sweat:

Everybody's least favorite ad genre right now must be "political ads," am I right? A particular target right now is "politicians who voted for the stimulus"...which is practically every politician currently in office. Gimme a break.

I'm sick of political ads where whoever appears promises to "create jobs."

Beyond jobs in the government itself, they can't. They can only suggest to the people that DO have the power to create jobs -- big businessmen -- that they hire more people domestically. But they can't force them to do it -- it wouldn't be capitalism anymore.

The most popular method of soft coercion is to throw a lot of money at Big Business, whether via the Republican method (lower taxes for the rich) or the Democratic method (giving them tax dollars). Then they sit and hope that Big Business will use all their new money to build a new plant somewhere, preferably within the 50 States. Instead they outsource further, the money is pocketed as profit and some old fat guy buys an island. Without a gun constantly aimed at their heads, CEOs aren't going to think of anyone but themselves first.

So don't tell me you, as one man in the Senate, can singlehandedly put hundreds of thousands of people back to work. I KNOW you're lying.

Also, SADDEST AD IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND: courtesy of the ASPCA. They've set a record, I'm convinced. You know which ad I mean. The images are bad enough, but they add captions like "No one will ever love me" and top it off with SARAH MACLAUGHLAN. If you're in a good mood, this is an instant killer. I don't care how many big-eyed puppies suffer, I'm not giving these guys money just because of this ad.

I'm really not liking the new Windows commercials. Do you know how much work is put into properly photoshopping a picture? It's not the point and click that they're making it out to be. There's also the whole remote desktop thing making it look ten times easier than it actually is.

[Kiddington]

I know this was mentioned not too long ago, but here it is again; the Burger King sing-song "March Down the Street" breakfast ads.

I mean, honestly; these are just getting more and more idiotic by the day. When they first came out with this idea a little while back, at least the lyrics rhymed (even if they were bad rhymes). Now, in the newest ads, they're too lazy to even do that much. It sounds awful.

[Kevin the Geek]

I find it annoying how recent Twix ads consist of a guy cheating on his wife or girlfriend, and when she thinks that something is up, the guy bites into a Twix bar and tries to think of a lie.

Maybe the head honchos of Mars, Inc., the company that makes Twix candy bars, are cheating on their wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends, or whatever, too. :p

"To the cloud!" isn't any better or any less intelligence-insulting than "Windows 7 was MY idea!"

Surely Microsoft can afford better ad men than this. This is ridiculous.

I'll also be glad when Due Date finally comes out so I can stop seeing the ads for it. Is it just me or is this the third "road trip to take an immature frat someplace by a deadline" film in two years?

[Maenos]

I've never liked the talking baby-E*Trade commercials. Always annoying.

But the newest annoys me and also confuses and kinda...disgusts me.

I'll just link it. I can't really give it justice. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZgZBn0Eyis)

I'm just creeped out by it. It seems kinda...well, I don't want to come right out and say it, but its pretty much right there.

Interestingly, I don't think I've seen it much lately. Maybe it got pulled?

[Kiddington]

But... it's from Todd Phillips, the same guy who did The Hangover... oops, I mean, "the Funniest Movie EEVAH!!!!". Because he has that credit to his name, it's obviously a big deal.

You know, I've never even seen The Hangover, so maybe that's why I don't really understand all this buzz surrounding the sequel, or the popularity of Zach Galifi...whatever his name is (the fat guy with the beard), that goes from random nobody, to household name almost overnight.

[Peter Paltridge]

....or the popularity of Zach Galifi...whatever his name is (the fat guy with the beard).
Normally, Hollywood actors create fake names for themselves when something like "Galifinikis" happens....but oddly, not this time.

[Silverstar]

Those Toyota commercials with that blond kid who talks about "lame" parents and their lame cars are starting to get annoying. I don't need some 8-year-old twerp with hair like Harpo Marx lecturing me about being cool. Zip it, kid. Just play with your handheld game system, enjoy the ride and be thankful that you don't have to make the payments on the flippin' car.

You beat me to it! I was going to mention how annoying this commercial is. :sweat:

The commercial I also find annoying is that Touch of Gray commercial where the dude thinks that he's going to get a job based on the color of his hair. The gray hair would show he has experience and the black hair would show he's young/fast. Plain dumb if you ask me! :D

[Blackstar]

It's not even December yet and I'm already tired of these Verizon commercials that feature Christmas carols put to a rap beat. Enough of that. Quit trying to make Christmas gangsta. Christmas is not gangsta. Buying electronics as holiday gifts won't earn you any street cred.

[Dixie_Chick89]

The commercial I find annoying is the one with the dancing hamsters that promotes the Kia Soul.
That song is still stuck in my head. x.x

I'm to the point where the 'My baby can read" ads are driving me insane....when i watch channels like The Hub or 'This' network they play it every single commercial break. It's almost like I'm watching a My baby can read telethon....what are they going to have as a follow up product? 'My baby can do my taxes!' My toddler can build a nuclear reactor!':sad:

Sorry if this is a bit of a bump, but...old gravy with a side of burnt toast, I think I saw a Head-On advertisement recently.

Those bing commercials that STILL show up on online video sites. One of them even hypes up wall street 2 which isnt even in theaters anymore, and i can NOT STAND the OK Go one "oh look, the treadmill guys!".

Facepalm. Apply directly to the forehead.

All of the *insert product here*-on commercials drive me nuts. The active-on one seems to be the latest here.

I'll nominate every, single State Farm commercial including the latest one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAOZZX8amp4) that's been gaining a lot of airplay recently.

McDonald's "credit card roulette" ad annoys me. Doesn't help that both versions of it seem to always air just a couple ads apart almost every commercial break. :mad:

Also, the AAMCO ad with all the customers demonstrating the different sounds their car problems are making. The only one I kind of find funny is the one guy making a steering motion with his hands, then he throws them up and looks at the mechanic like "WTH?!" But the others I just want to punch, especially the lady who doesn't know what the OIL CAN light means!!

I'm not sure if I hate or am afraid of the commercial, but that Target electronic Santa Claus is....Something else.

And I hear the haunting melody on how it will rock my body.

The Planters peanuts commercials. Not only do I just not like Mr. Peanut talking (especially with Robert Downey, Jr.'s voice), but I hate the one with the nutcracker where everything stops when he arrives. I just hate commercials that have a sudden extended gap of silence in the middle of them.

And if I have to see that annoying guy showing me how to make a Disaronno on the rocks one more time . . . :mad:

Those Toyota commercials with that blond kid who talks about "lame" parents and their lame cars are starting to get annoying. I don't need some 8-year-old twerp with hair like Harpo Marx lecturing me about being cool. Zip it, kid. Just play with your handheld game system, enjoy the ride and be thankful that you don't have to make the payments on the flippin' car.

This. You're lucky to even HAVE a car you little ingrate, much less a nice one.
