Most hated commercial?

[Chimera]

There aren't very many advertisements that I absolutely can't stand, but the new Hawaiin Punch commercial is definitely one of them. I don't have a problem with anything in it except for the *ahhhhhh* noise that the kids make after they drink the juice. It' just so mind-bogglingly irratating. NOTHING is that refreshing.

[Lucky Bob]

Six little words:

"Can you hear me now? Good!"

[anime_babe]

Most hated commercial of all times: Every OLD NAVY commercial ever made!!! Especially the ones with the old lady with the big glasses! They make me crazy :mad:

[The Landstander]

Anything Old Navy. Those commercials (all of them) just plain suck.

Oh, and if you mean overall, I'll go with a local ad (if there's anyone in the Buffalo area, they should get this one). There's this one local car advertisement; every commercial ends with some guy doing something along the lines of this:

"It's gonna be huge, Tom, HUGE! It's gonna be HUGE! It's gonna be...

HUUUUUUUUGE!!!!!!!"

That commercial makes me want to hurt people.

[JDuncan]

Right now, it would have to be TV spots for Gigli... ugh.

[Sigma]

Right now, it would have to be TV spots for Gigli... ugh.
The TV spots are as close as I will get to seeing that movie. Lloyld Kauffman couldn't even spof on a movie that awful!

[Meow]

The new Geico commercials. The older ones are funny, but the newer ones are just stupid. Where'd the Gecko go?

Reporter #1(on the scene): The bad news is the Volcanoe is erupting!

Reporter #2(in the station): Well what's the good news?

Reporter #1: I just saved 15% on my car insurance!

:rolleyes:

[Tienshin]

Video Professor.

The guy is practically begging people to buy his product. Actual line: “Buy my product.” I can just see computer illiterate types, getting the CD loading it, and staring at the monitor with furrowed brows, in a vain attempt to understand, before proclaiming fraud and writing angry letters.

Meanwhile Video Professor: the home disk spins happily in the six disk player.

[Chimera]

In the first generation of Video Professor ads he was holding the CD by pinching the bottom (i.e. his index and middle fingers where touching the label and his thumb was pressed against the back).

[DR.MID-NITE]

Most annoying one is that Mitsubishi commercial where the girl is having a spasm attack in the front of the car. And her friend just keeps driving. ;)

And then their is an annoying radio commercial for Cable internet service in the NY area. Where you have this stereotypical white guy trying to use all of these slang words. "I've got game now, uh-hu". I have to turn the radio off every time.

[EightOh]

"Put dem Big Macs up, y'all!"

The new Geico commercials. The older ones are funny, but the newer ones are just stupid. Where'd the Gecko go?

Reporter #2(in the station): Well what's the good news?

Reporter #1: I just saved 15% on my car insurance!

:rolleyes:
I hate that stupid commercial too!

[Tienshin]

Oooh, oooh! I got another one!

The commercials for Lugz shoes. Good god those are awful. Its all footage of CGI Lugz shoes (attached to some hard dude), stomping on stuff, pressing gas pedals, and generally being high impact. Wha...what!

[Spike Mcdougal]

The recent string of AOL commercials, especially the one with the monks.

Every Kidz Bop commercial

I know there's more but I cant think of any at the moment

[LightAngel]

Every commercial with that blasted Dell guy in them. Who didn't want to smack that guy?

[ToonamiFanatic]

have to say the aol monk commerical,and the one also about aol with those two girls at mall with their car dead and their dad is at home on the internet on some stupid website enough already its annoying.

the video professor commericals

the worship together commercials
kids bop basically any cd that is advertised on tv

all I can think of for now

[David Lucas]

There's some new cereal called Campfire Smores or some crap.

The beginning has a whole Austin Powers 2 ripoff where a kid is "packing" flashlights and so forth into his dad's mouth. Then we see that it's just a shadow illusion.

Then for some reason 2 kids are watching it on TV, it's not a show, it's just a recording of a kid camping. The acting from both kids makes me wanna hurt someone, but then the fat kid pretends to do the same thing with a spoon.

Cut to the girl, who has the most solemn face on and then tries to go from that into the worst laugh I've ever seen in my years on earth.

I hate this commercial worse than any other one.

[Lunacat]

Sprite Remix commercials...I love the drink, but man! That thing is so annoying! I even had to see it on the big screen (it came on before previews @ the movie theatre...*shudder*).

Those AOL "call waiting" commercials...they've plauged my television screen too many times...

Those gum commercials...can't think of the name...but it always shows some British girl talking about how the gum keeps your mouth clean (followed by a shot of someone getting mud all over and then revealing a dazzling smile :rolleyes: ).

Give me an hour...and I'm sure I can come up with some more. ;)

[Feslmogh]

That Wanna-Wanna Fanta Commercial "um-hmm"

[Lachesis]

Oh yeah, the McDonald ones are awful.

The absolute worst commercials have to be the Ovaltine ones. Really, aggressively horrible.

[Condiment King]

The AOL Monk Commercial

The AOL Call Waiting Commercial

All the Comcast commericals (they are played ad nauseum and they aren't even really original, at least the Dish Network ones are.)

There's a local ad in the middle of the Simpsons every day advertising Will & Grace afterwards. So annoying because I'm not going to watch Will & Grace, I'm never going to watch Will & Grace, and why are they trying to compete against the greatness that is Seinfeld on TBS anyway? :D

Krystal commerical. Everyone on that commerical is so fake, its annoying. Its sad that I know they would pay for 10 tiny Krystals for 4.99 every day.

Sprite Remix commerical. It just takes advantage of all the NBA tie-ins and such, and its annoying at the same time. It really doesn't make any sense at all. Sucks cause I really like Remix.

[Terri]

Those Lipton Ice Tea commerials with the evil looking snowman. That snowman is just plain old creepy.

[Jaguar]

"Put dem Big Macs up, y'all!"

:rolleyes:
You took the words right out of my mouth.

"Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, picklesonionsonasesameseedbun."

Oh, and that AOL monk commercial, and now I'm really tired of the "Great American Family" Family Guy commercial.

And those bad acting Ovaltine commercials ("I LOVE TEH OVALTINE SHAKES!!!!111") and that Smorz crap.

*serious face then bursts into fake laughter* Heeeheee.

[TOM 002]

Two words: "GO YAFFA!!!!!!!" Need I say more?




Those gum commercials...can't think of the name...but it always shows some British girl talking about how the gum keeps your mouth clean (followed by a shot of someone getting mud all over and then revealing a dazzling smile :rolleyes:


Ah....that would be Orbit sugarfree gum. I swear in that tennis one, I wanted her to get pelted by that ball. Now THAT would have been hilarious.

KIDZ BOP. I cannot stress this enough. Not only do they butcher songs, but it's too the point where the fans themselves would hate that song. And with the fourth one coming out you know that it won't be good. (imagines a horrifying clip that will coinside with the butchered "Bring Me To Life") *shudders*. Not to mention "Geo's Dance Groove" or something like that. A choreography video by the makers of Kidz Bop. Terrifying.

The "6-Million-Dollar Man" spoof by AOL. The reason I find this one annoying is not because of the content so much as it's A POP UP!

And, of course, ANY KID'S WB COMMERICAL EVER MADE. These are the absolute bane of my Saturday mornings. It was bad enough that they smeared Toonami's name and hacked up every single dub they could find, but these absolute STUPID gimmicks they use to draw kids in are the worst:

-Having completely different characters interact with each other in complete OOC: stupid.

-Promoting a "special event" that's an excuse to use reruns: pathetic.

-Taking badass characters (Imhotep, Wolverine, etc) and have them act like pansies: disgraceful.

-Mindless events such as the "Way Out of the Way Roadtrip" or the "Burp-a-licious Belch-a-thon": An insult to a kid's intelligence.

-Using that freaking sock: UNFORGIVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[K@pri]

All of the AOL commercials, and the Fanta commercial, I can't stand that commercial!!

[sag_2002]

The new Geico commercials. The older ones are funny, but the newer ones are just stupid. Where'd the Gecko go?

Reporter #1(on the scene): The bad news is the Volcanoe is erupting!

That, and those Baby Ruth "Real Deal" commercials ESPN has been bombarding me with. Oy.

[Yuss]

Those gum commercials...can't think of the name...but it always shows some British girl talking about how the gum keeps your mouth clean (followed by a shot of someone getting mud all over and then revealing a dazzling smile :rolleyes: ).Aww, I like those. They're obnoxious on purpose (still obnoxious, but funny in their own way).

I hate any commercial that involves working moms and their idiot husbands, or ultrasmart kids and their idiot dads. And any commercial with an animal in it that makes a 'hilarious' face/noise/gesture. And any commercial with a baby in it, ever.

~B+:

[Conekiller]

the Sears Airconditioning commercial
" woman:you said you'd call sears.
Man: I'll call today
Woman: You'll call now
Man:......I'll call now"

UGH! and then they aired it every summer for like 5 years!

-Arroz Rico (maybe just a south florida thing)

-Dandy bear" I love dandy bear, please have my party there" repeat incessantly in the most droning voice you can muster for about a minute.

A radio ad a few weeks ago for a local car dealership that would have this woman saying "stop" in all ssorts of languages then the regular announcer busts in scream "stoooooo----oooooo-----ooooooooooppppp" echoing in and out with that annoying vocal reverb thing. it would always grab my attention, which I hate when I'm making an effort to NOT be advertised to.

the Juicy Fruit commercial withthe old lady lifting the weights at the end, the kid "spotting" them had the most retarded looking face. if I ever see that kid on the street I swear I'll drop kick him on the spot! it didn't help that it aired during EVERY Adult Swim commercial break earlier this year.

[Artemis]

[duck voice]AFLACK!!!![/duck voice]

[zimfan3000]

There was a Ruffle's potato chip commercial that ran on TV in June; it featured a baby that said, "Rrruffles have rrrridges." That baby did NOT sound like a baby.

Other ones I don't like:
* Can you hear me now? Good! (These were good when they weren't in excessive quantity)
* More Ovaltine, please! (More kids drink Nesquick, thank you very much!)
* All AOL commercials
*The Kibbles 'n Bits commercial that was on recently...the one with the CGI dancing dog. That's as bad as the Ruffles commercial

[The Detective]

The new Geico commercials. The older ones are funny, but the newer ones are just stupid. Where'd the Gecko go?

Reporter #2(in the station): Well what's the good news?

Reporter #1: I just saved 15% on my car insurance!

:rolleyes:
Me and my sister both hate that commercial!!!!!!!

Oh and the Dell guy was annoying to think goodness he isn't on any more but there new ones are just as bad.

Kidz Bop is horrible as well, and I CAN'T STAND THE KLONDIKE BAR SONG! Oh I can hear it droning in my head. Sadly, my sister likes it. :eek:

AOL commericals, especially the one with the monks.

But the one that takes the cake, is OVALTINE! Those commercials are the bane of my existence. So worthlessly acted it's not even funny. I hate it above at all others.

[Rurouni]

Ah, one of my favorite topics.

-Any of those touchy-feely herpes medication ads. The definition of "too much information."

-Domino's Pizza's "Bad Andy" character. Bad Andy, even worse mascot. (No opinion on the pizza.)

-"Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now".....to mute my TV.

-The same few ads that cable channels like Cartoon Network cycle through endlessly-bland entertainment targeted at Christians (Worship Together, Veggietales), insurance and creditor ads (Geico, Ditech), long-distance saving numbers-(10-10-whatever, AT&T's Carrot Top ads), and of course kiddie junk (Kidz Bop, that wannabe Cheerleader video thing.)

[Master Moron]

Six little words:

"Can you hear me now? Good!"

Actually, that one where they had a ferret bite a guy's tongue was hilarious. Then when the guy came walking by saying "Can you hear me now." I burst out laughing. If they did more commercials that put him in weird places they'd be better.

[Master Moron]

-Domino's Pizza's "Bad Andy" character. Bad Andy, even worse mascot. (No opinion on the pizza.)


No way, Bad Andy was cool! but, they should have made him even badder.

Domino's Pizza guy:"I'm gonna go to the freezer to get some more dough."

*after opening the freezer he discovers dead body of Little Caesar then goes to talk to Andy who's holding a bloody knife*

Domino's Pizza guy:Andy did you kill Little Caesar? We're supposed to compete with the competition by making our pizzas hot and fast, not by killing them! Bad Andy!

[Feslmogh]

[duck voice]AFLACK!!!![/duck voice]
Fall down...! :D

Anotherone I hate is when some commercials (kid's commercial are the worst) take a classic oldies song and REWRITE THE LYRICS to sell the product. OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH! I hate that!

[Lonestarr]

The new Geico commercials. The older ones are funny, but the newer ones are just stupid. Where'd the Gecko go?

Reporter #1: I just saved 15% on my car insurance!

:rolleyes:

Couldn't agree more.

Other awful ads:

- anything for Apple Jacks (lousy, smart-mouthed, sons of...)

- those 7-UP ads with the guy that replaced Orlando Jones; I cannot stand that guy, though there is one ad that I like - him getting hit by a truck

[Bud 'n Lou]

Of course, my hate for any and all commercials featuring Carrot Top is undying.
Those commercials for wrinkle cream. Do they really think people are stupid enough not to realize that in the before picture, the people are slightly squinting and grimacing under badly angled lights designed to bring out every crease in their skin? It infuriates me.
That commercial for that anti-fungal toe medicine. The one where the little gremlin lifts the toenail as if it's on a hinge, and they sets to unfecting the nail bed? Ew, make me vomit, why don't you?

[Carolina Red]

In general, those ads with a husband/wife pair where the husband is treated as the moron are stupid. Are these ad writers uncreative or what? Also, people should stop changing lyrics to classic songs. It's just uncreative and dumb, and it insults our intelligence too. Also, stop making ads where you try to make babies seem cute or act like adults! It didn't work the first time, and it won't again.

Domino's Bad Andy was awful...and it was a ripoff of that character in that Mr. Oizo video.

Christian music collections. Those ads bother me so much. The music is so smarmy and all of the people in the audience are singing along to it, holding hands, etc.

Old Spice Bath Wash/Spray. Talk about pathetic sexual references.

Darren's Dance Grooves. Talk about trendy. :rolleyes:

Dodge Summer Sales Drive. All of the customers in those ads are jerks. The two guys who get overly excited, the big lug who is upset, and the man who for a moment sounds angry.....I hope that's not what really happens in car dealerships.

Dell Guy/Dell Interns. Dude, get a Sony!

Nationwide Insurance. These customers are idiots and annoyances. I know you have a policy where you have multiple ads, but you get Two (cuts quickly) THUMBS DOWN!!!!

Foot Locker. Why are they trying to alienate so many potential customers by giving this store the ghetto/street attitude?

Local ads (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill): Crossroads Ford (man rambles quickly in southern accent about cars), Toyota of Durham (southern accented man speaking fast, and you can get (sticks hand out with all fingers extended) $5000 IN CASH!), Hendrick Chevrolet (people on the street sing to modified lyrics of "I Like It Like That"), any area commercial involving Clay Aiken (I know he's from the area, but do you have to follow him everywhere?)

[Jaguar]

I don't see that commercial enough to hate it. :sweat:

[Elven Moon]

That Applejacks commercial where they announce new... blue bananas? What the heck? Why blue bananas! That doesn't make any sense.

The subway commercials with Jared. I find him and his voice irritating. Plus IRL he's a real jerk.

That dog food commercial where the dog starts dancing... whu? It's so annoying.

Herbal Essence (sp?) - You can't possibly have THAT much fun washing your hair. I use the stuff and you don't see me using every opportunity to use it.

[Drachentöter]

Okay, I have come to the conclusion that my cable provider is the ONLY one that insists on torturing people with an AWFUL barrage of annoying and senseless commercials for MTV2.

DOES NOBODY ELSE HAVE THE MISFORTUNE OF SEEING "TALKING BABY" PROMOTE "WHERE THEY MUSIC'S AT" RELENTLESSLY? AM I THE ONLY ONE CURSED WITH THAT AWFUL, HORRIBLE PLASTIC DOLL? WHY, LORD? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

[RKillian]

Maybe he knows the guy who was asking when the water show is? :P

Seriously, though, it would've been funnier as a cartoon short than a commercial...

[Kolbar]

There are 4 commercials that I can't stand, and 3 of them they play them before every movie at the movie theatre, and the other is on Cartoon Network, CNN, TNT, TBS and on any Turner owned channel. They are:

1. Nike - the one where they have all the different things racing, like the dog, the guy, the train, the snake, etc.
2. Levi Jeans - the one where the guy's on the car
3. Tropical Sprite Remix - the one with the record and they keep on saying, "Remix. Remix. Remix"
4. AOL - just gets annoying seeing it all the time

[Shawn Hopkins]

I hate AOl's "world wide wow" DSL ads, especially the one that implies Sharon Stone had sex with a stick figure. It's an oldie, but they also used to feature an ad where a girl who looked about 14 proclaimed the people on AOL are "just like me." No, dear, some of them are just -pretending-.

I really hate those commercials that suddenly pop up late at night, showing acne or something equally gross. There should be a couple seconds of warning so people can flip the channel.

The ad that irks me the most isn't really a commercial, but the pop up thing FX puts in most of their shows. It takes up almost a quarter of the screen and makes sounds. The sounds were especially unexpected, and it took me a while to figure out that the weird noises on an FX airing of "American Pie" were actually, IIRC, casino sounds coming from a "Lucky" ad.

And in Eastern Kentucky some radio stations think it's funny to feature an extremely obnoxious hillbilly accent in their commercials. I stab at the off button on the radio like a maniac when commercials featuring any kind of obnoxious fake accent, the Austin Powers and Forrest Gump ones threaten to drive me mad, or kids voice comes on, but the hillbilly thing is especially bad.

I love Barky the Dog, though. "I'm just a grown man who's made a lot of mistakes."

[Dark Spider]

I really hate those Kidz Bop commericals that plague Cartoon Network. Ugh,their songs are so stupid like "Sk8ter Boi". What is up with the "Net" spelling? Are they trying to sound cool?

Oh and those VeggieTales commercials that plague Adult Swim. If I see that pickle type creature jumps those paddle of that ship again, I'm gonna kill myself.

...and actually that's it. If I see a stupid commercial, I usually just laugh at it and take it at face value. For instance, that Garnier Fructis (its a shampoo) commercial with that sexy black haired woman. Now I admit, the music is VERY catchy, but the commercial itself is stupid. Its just a montage of clips with the woman (complete with her hair swinging around and being combed), some dude that plays with her and combs her hair, and an orange slice that fizzles in some acid or something. I just laugh at that commericial and enjoy its catchy music.

[Obi]

That Applejacks commercial where they announce new... blue bananas? What the heck? Why blue bananas! That doesn't make any sense.



Blue carrots.

[EinBebop]

Most hated commercial of all times: Every OLD NAVY commercial ever made!!! Especially the ones with the old lady with the big glasses! They make me crazy :mad:She's been dead for some time now.

[BrendaBat]

-GO YAFFA!: Though I must admit, the over-acting of the announcer is pretty funny

-Maxaroni: Some idiot has the idea that, if you put in a rapping white kid, children will buy your crappy snack foods :rolleyes:
"Yo Maxaroni iz da bomb ya'll fo' shizzle!" :p

-Kidz Bop and all the stupid kidz dance and/or cheer instruction tapes

[Spastic Minnow]

the Juicy Fruit commercial withthe old lady lifting the weights at the end, the kid "spotting" them had the most retarded looking face. if I ever see that kid on the street I swear I'll drop kick him on the spot! it didn't help that it aired during EVERY Adult Swim commercial break earlier this year.

I hold a special place in my soul, just for hating that commercial.

Actually, during AS lats year they played that *%$#@! Ingorant commercial TWICE almost every break, immediately after it went to break and directly preceeding. I absolutely despised it the first time I saw it and by the end of the month I felt like destroying my television! I skipped shows I would have watched otherwise because I knew that was going to be on. I actually wrote e-mail letters complaining about it to both Cartoon Network and Wrigley's. And finally I personally boycotted Wrigley's for months, (and the only gum I chewed at the time was Big Red) I still avoid it and have developed a taste for Trident.

Why was it so bad?

1. It made absolutely no *%$#@! sense! What the *&%! were they doing on that stupid weight bench!

2. Ugly sweating kids

3. Screaming kids! AAAAAAAAAHHHHH, Push it! AAAAAAHHHHHH! shutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutup!

4. Screaming Grandma! *&$#$ @#&!$^+ stop it! SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP!

That's how much I hated that commercial.

[Master Moron]

Blue carrots.

I think there was a vote and the two choices were brown bananas and blue carrots. I don't really get it though. Do the carrots actually taste like carrots? Also, I HATE the Apple Jacks commercials, they claim that their cereal doesn't taste like apples when they DO taste like apples. And even if they didn't taste like apples, why would they advertise that? It's like Country Time lemonade advertising that their lemonade doesn't taste like lemons.

Another ad I hate is that jeans commercial where a couple is holding hands and hundreds of bulls run toward them yet the jeans magically save them from being trampled. WTF?

[B.W.H.]

Juicy Juice j-max- Has some boy outside school saying bye to all his friends then when everyone's gone he pulls out a walkie talie and calls his mom she drives up to the school and pics him up and then the announcer says some crap like "Cool moms know that cool kids drink J-max" Oh yeah coming up with a "hip" name for your drink that is advertised by 5 yr olds will really appeal to the older set.
This new drink called DNL_ It starts with this lepracane on a sidewalk selling DNL then a cop comes up and asks does he have a permit then the lepracane sayas im not real im a myth and starts dancing aroun :shrug: d

[Elven Moon]

Blue carrots.

D'oh! I meant blue carrots. It still doesn't make any sense, though :sweat:

Herbal Essence (sp?) - You can't possibly have THAT much fun washing your hair. I use the stuff and you don't see me using every opportunity to use it.

and that's a bad thing.....? :anime: :D

[StarScream64]

"Ch-ch-ch-chia!!!" "Try our new Chia-Shaggy and Chia-Scooby!" :rolleyes:

Then there's that Honey Combs commercial with Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. After I while I was chanting "Eat the girl! Eat the girl!"

Ooh, and let's not forget "Watch it float in MIDAIR! GOOO, YAFFA!!!"
Oh, the horror! The HORROR!!!

[gohan11]

It sounds like porn more than a hair cleaning thing.
I always have to mute the TV when that thing is on, so my parents don't think I am watching porn.

Anyway there is one add where there is a white background and various people one by one are singing and dancing to some rap song. Of course the people are old/fat/wearing a format suit or something that makes them look and sound absurd singing the songs they are singing. I think it's for one of those new "iTunes" type websites where you download mp3's for money.

[Tienshin]

Those baseball instruction videos by Tom Eumanski's constantly airing ESPN. I'm not sure which is worse the fact that it has Fred McMriff (Offical cognomen: The crime dog) with that stupid hat sitting on top of skull or the shots of all those kids moving in synchronized robotic fashions. Why hasn't this commercial been unceremoniously shot in head?

[Beat]

Those "Dude, you're getting a Dell commercials." God, that guy was annoying.

Why hasn't this commercial been unceremoniously shot in head?

That was one of the ads in my favorites list. That's what makes the ad so funny!

Some other ads that I forgot:
What was that commercial for where there's techno music playing as the camera moves around a moving car, and when it goes inside the car the Spongebob theme is playing? That ad bothers me so much because I don't want people to think I'm watching that Spongebob junk.

54321. Have you ever noticed that all of the cool kids don't wear the appropriate protective gear? (except in the motocross one)

Subway with both Jared and Clay Henry, the second-most annoying man named Clay out there.

Apple iTunes (or any commercial where ordinary people try to sing popular music). Those people cannot carry a note, especially that kid who sings Eminem.

Pepsi with Hallie Eisenberg. She's just as annoying as that Small Wonder girl.

Mountain Dew radio ads. Like I'm going to go out of my way for a soda.

Craftmatic Adjustable Beds. I remember watching a decade ago about how these old people can relax in their beds. It looked like they lived in that bed all of the time! And I don't think it was cheaper than ordinary mattresses. I saw an updated version of the ad recently, it was just some younger (in their 50s) people, and they still say the mattress is cheaper! Yeah right!

[Matthew Williams]

More in the "makes no sense" category than "hated" to me...

I work at Acme Markets, which is a unit of Albertson's (a lot of you probably heard of it, or Osco, Jewel, Super Saver, and Sav-On, which they also own). Over the past month or so, we've introduced a new advertising campaign, "Acme Makes Your Life Easier". For the first time, we have a spokesperson for the company, Patricia Heaton, the wife from Everybody Loves Raymond. Consequently, not only do we now have huge banners with Heaton's face on them adorning the store, we now have the cheesiest ads I have ever seen.

Basically, the one I saw has Heaton as a housewife who goes shopping at Acme (or whatever Albertson's supermarket serves your area) and discovers that the courteous service at Acme really does make your life easier. Problem is, it's done in "humorous" ways, like her holding up more boxes of cereal than are humanly possible, or going back in with a full cart to thank the bagger.

Problems: 1.) Most customers aren't like that. 2.) The humor doesn't work and it really makes the ad seem forced and cheesy... esp. when surrounded by the plugs for what's on sale this week. 3.) Celebrities shouldn't really endorse supermarkets in the first place. It's just... an odd fit, as the selling point is "low prices, good service" instead of the "this athlete/celebrity wears/eats this!" thing you get with Nike, for example. The ads make me cringe... what happened to the snappy jingles?

Another bad one... First Union bank. When they bought out CoreStates here to become a real big bank, they ran some slick commercials. Very nicely done, great photography, great ideas. Only problem was the tagline... "Come to the mountain called First Union. Or if you prefer, the mountain will come to you." If you are a huge bank that wants to attract the customers of a former bank, the LAST thing you want to call yourself is something big and imposing like "The Mountain".

And, finally, car ads. Ford has been running commercials using Journey's "Any Way You Want It" for their authorized clearance. It's a good song, and I do like it... but not when the ad is being run 10-20 times. an hour. Seriously, I see it twice every commercial break. It's enough to drive a man nuts. (And some would argue that any large dosage of Journey would be enough to kill people.)

I can't believe no one has said this commercial yet: The one with the 2 guys sitting outside a Dairy Queen holding a Blizzard upside down making stupid noises. I mean what is that supposed to prove...that Dairy Queen's shakes are so thick you can't eat them?!?!

[SNS]

Two more commercials:

The commercial with the kids singing in spanish about rice.

The anti-satellite commercials.

[Lord Ashram]

Most of the people above have already covered commercials I can't stand that aren't local, so I'll just mention the local ones I despise.
First is a commercial for some stupid crappy-looking oddity store with some nasal-sounding man singing about the store with no harmony at all. I also hate the local commercial for a junky local amusement park called "Dorney Park", which features more annoying singing. If I want to go to a good amusement park I'll go to Six Flags, not some crappy one that's only local.

[SlyBoy]

There's this one local commericial I get, and it's about recycling and stuff like that. It features a really bad rap song and horribly animated people. These are the lyrics...

"I"m Littering Lucy, and I don't care. I throw my trash...ANYWHERE!"
"Toss-It Tom's my name, here's my vibe, clean up your mess, I'll clean up mine."
"I'm Keep-It-Clean Jean and I'm here to say, I pick up trash that's in my way!"
"All-Star Stan, hey that's me! Help keep San Jose...litter-free!"

:rolleyes:

[Tienshin]

Here's an oldie:

The Kool Aid commercial with the woman singing: "I make Kool Aid for my family na, na, na, na, na, na"! Ok seriously now people Kool aid ain't nothing sing about. The song should be "I gave diabetes to my family na, na, na, na, na, na"

[Conekiller]

the "any one named CANDICE goes first" bus safety ad

the Grim adventures of billy and Mandy , jsut cuz I sewar the bat at the beginning sounds just liek the bat from where are you scooby doo, and I always expect the song to start.

and old one: the California Raisins singing a rap about library books. "books, check em out!" for YEARS my annoying younger brother has busted out with that song just to be an irritant. I wish that commercial never existed.

[JDuncan]

Oh, I remembered another one. It's for the Arbor Day Foundation, and it stars a singing cartoon owl. "You need a tree to climb, and thats where squirrels spend there time. It's possibly a crime if someone damages a tree."

[Robot Jones]

The Recent Apple Jacks Commercials
Kidz Bop
Old Navy commercials
Sprite Remix Commercial
The E-bay commercial with that fat chick singing and dancing in the middle of traffic.

The one with the 2 guys sitting outside a Dairy Queen holding a Blizzard upside down making stupid noises. I mean what is that supposed to prove...that Dairy Queen's shakes are so thick you can't eat them?!?!

[Lonestarr]

Oh, and if you mean overall, I'll go with a local ad (if there's anyone in the Buffalo area, they should get this one). There's this one local car advertisement; every commercial ends with some guy doing something along the lines of this:

"It's gonna be huge, Tom, HUGE! It's gonna be HUGE! It's gonna be...

HUUUUUUUUGE!!!!!!!"

That commercial makes me want to hurt people.

I'll see your Fuccillo Chevrolet ad and raise you an Airport Plaza Jewelers (esp. the one with the angel and the devil). How dumb was that?

Conekiller: Come on! That California Raisins ad was a good one. Brings back memories...

[EinBebop]

Conekiller: Come on! That California Raisins ad was a good one. Brings back memories...No way. Those raisins were creepy.

[Space Kitty]

The Fandango commercials that they used to play before movies. One had the guy saying "There's a wild fandango loose in the theater. raaar!" The other on had this fat guy waving around beads saying "You are going to let me in the picture."

[Lonestarr]

That's a big 10-4, good buddy. That first Fandango ad made me dread the moviegoing experience. (And let me tell you: it would take something of incredible magnitude to cause that to happen.)

[JShaggy]

Local commercials:

Those Sheraton Casino & Hotel commercials (Tunica, Ms - outside of Memphis) that has this guy in an orange tuxedo and white cowboy hat shouting about "the loooooooooooosest slot house in Tunica".

I can't think of any others.

National commercials:

The K-Mart/Joe Boxer commercials with that guy dancin' around in his underwear. I swear I just want to hit him right now.

The Hardee's/Carl's Jr. commercial with the censor block over the chicken's ... well, you know.

[Feslmogh]

Those pre-teen girl products...
Bratz
Polly
Divas

The Huggie Diapers commercials...
The Charmin/Bear in the woods ads...
To be continued... when I see more...

[czyznyck99]

The new commercial claiming that "common" in the movie and recording industry are losing jobs because of people downloading movies, music, etc. They say stop piracy.

Newsflash 1 - Piracy is when someone makes money from bootleg material. Most people who download aren't interested in making money, just not wasting it for crap-filled entertainment.

Newsflash 2 - Those "common" people aren't making any money. Working at a theater is minimum wage. All of those other gigs pay decent amounts, but not enough to live off for an extended period of time. The people who wants this stopped are movie stars who won't take a 1 million dollars pay cut from 15 mil to 14 mil, or the recording industry mongers who make all the money from record sales, then keep the money away from the artists.

The first time I saw this "plea," I think I flipped off my TV.

Later.

LOL That commerical sounds so stupid!

Also, I hate the Charmin/Bear ads, as well as those annoying Disney Channel ads for Kim Possible which don't tell you a god-forsaken thing about the episode.

[mobo85]

I can't believe no one has said this commercial yet: The one with the 2 guys sitting outside a Dairy Queen holding a Blizzard upside down making stupid noises. I mean what is that supposed to prove...that Dairy Queen's shakes are so thick you can't eat them?!?!

Dairy Queen has always advertised the Blizzard frozen treat as "Upside-downright thick." I found this commercial hilarious, as it features two idiots testing this theory, after which, you hear an announcer say, "Yeah, they're thick," referring to both the Blizzard and the men. Very funny, in my opinion.


Ugh,their songs are so stupid like "Sk8ter Boi". What is up with the "Net" spelling? Are they trying to sound cool?

I don't know. According to ASCAP, you have David Alpasch, Graham Edwards, Lauren Fownes, and Avril Lavigne to blame.

czyznyck99, I believe you're misinterpreting the anti-piracy ads. The people speaking are people who work behind the scenes on a film, not theater employees.

I never understood those Apple Jacks ads, either. "Why do you kids eat Apple Jacks if they don't taste like apples?" Anyone with eyes can read that they are meant to be an apple-cinnamon flavor. They started out with kids making parents look like buffoons (an idea as old as time), then eventually went into anti-establishment fun (we don't want them to taste like apples!), now it's turning into the Salvador Dali of cereals. I don't get it. Consider me as confused as the parents/authority figures in these ads.

[SNS]

Yeah, did you see those dumb commercials recently about Apple Jacks making the cereal taste like real apples & then you see the kids panic like it's the worst thing in the world?

[SlyBoy]

Ugh... Don't remind me! Then they have blue carrots...

[FinalDragoon]

Ok I understand that a milkshake is supposed to have some thickness to it, but come on that is just ridiculous on Dairy Queen's part. I bet you have a better chance of getting ketchup out of a Heinz glass bottle than eating a Blizzard shake. I know the secret ingredient to their shakes then...quick dry cement. I don't hate Dairy Queen I just prefer their ice cream slushies over anything else.

[TOM 002]

Oh yes! How on Earth can I forget this one?!

THE NICKTOON MARTIAL ARTS PARODY

Ugh! Being both and anime fan and a martial arts nut, you can see how something like this makes me sick. To those who've never seen this.....GOOD. To those who have, you have my deepest sympathies.

It goes like this. In some random Japanese shrine/dojo, you see Tommy with some mysterious orb, floating around like one of those holy robed ancients. Four Nicktoon characters in very bad Japanese outfits accept the challenge of getting the orb first: Chuckie, Debbie, Helga, and Patrick. Every single one of them have "special moves" that they yell out before executing them, most of which involve snot, a blowdryer, a kiss of death, and a VERY fattening Krabby Patty. And in the end, Dil Pickles gets it! The moral of this pointless fight? "We're all winners, cuz we're Nicktoons!!!!"

Honest to god, that was the worst Nickelodeon commercial that surfaced ever since that "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" parody with two kids in robes. Absolutely senseless. Were they trying to be cool by making this thing anime-like? I'm pretty sure that there are manga nuances in that commercial as well. Regardless though, I still think that this is one of the worst promos ever. Talk about mind numbing propaganda.

[Boy Wonder]

What about the Skippy Squeeze commercial? That also brings another point on the Cafe Toon Zone board about obese children and commericials.

[HellCat]

There's a really annoying one playing in the UK for Starburst ( a fruit sweet). A boy politely asks his older sister if he can watch her TV. The sister and her friend proceed to be really nasty and tell him to get lost (they act just like the kind of girls that made me glad when I finished school). The friend gives him a packet of Starbursts and then tells him to go away. The boy eats one and his sister screams a horribly acted "NOOOOOOOO!" before her head briefly turns into fruit and the brother and friend laugh at her.

That ad must only play in the UK, because I see Starburst commercials all the time in America and I've never seen it. Her head turned into fruit? Are you serious? What did it look like?

[HellCat]

It's a CGI piece of fruit that they digitally insert over her face.

[Obi]

Well, they do that same sort of thing on American commercials, except its for Gushers...not Starburst....

[LightAngel]

Has anyone seen that new yogurt commercial yet? The one with annoying, fluffy, cutsey, disgusting music in it. Aaggh, it just hurts my ears everytime I hear it! I'm not sure which brand its for though.

[The Detective]

I despise all gogurt commercials. Especially the current one with the horrible rapping in it. *shudders*

[StarScream64]

I just saw this Push Pop commercial a couple days ago where this kid's sitting in the back seat of a car sucking on a lolipop. Then this kangaroo pops up out of the seat beside the kid. That's right, he actually comes OUT of the seat. He has the WORLD'S MOST ANNOYING VOICE. He grabs the kid's lolipop and flings it into his mother's hair, who's sitting in the passenger side, then whips out a Push Pop. The kangaroo doesn't give a darn about poor Mom's hair (who's totally oblivious to the whole conversation going on 3 feet behind her) and apparently neither does the kid, seeing as he listens to the mad marsupial go on about the benefits of Push Pops.

Bottom line: if you don't use Push Pos then your lolipop will get stuck in your mother's hair and freaky kangaroos will pester you untill you take a Push Pop.

[Toon Capone]

I hate those Buddy Lee Jeans commercials and those Kid Bop CD commercials.

[Curt]

I dunno if it's just in my area, but they usually air this commercial for Comcast Digital Cable, in which these two guys are at a party, trying to look nerdy start talking to these two girls. The girls don't really even pay any attention to them, and turn on Star Trek, so the "geeks" would just stare at that instead.

Personally, I thought that was kind of screwed up, how the girls treated the guys. I mean, jeez, they just wanted to talk, and probably dance. And the girls just shrug them off as a 1980's stereotype of a nerd or geek.

You're not alone. I saw that same Comcast commercial in Nashville.

I thought I'd seen ever Starburst ad but I still haven't seen this one. Do you have any more information on it? Any pics?

[Chimera]

Woah... After organizing the threads by views I realized that this topic's view count is #6 out of all the topics currently on the Entertainment Board! It even beat-out the Movie Talkback Thread Collection.

[Zim_Zany9000]

Pad and tampon commercials where a woman tells you how good it feels and then they cut to a picture of a pad moving all CGI like.. I don't want to know how it feels like to them! that's just freaking sick!

Oh and anyone remember those old tampon commercials where there's this group of snotty preppy teens sitting high up at a table like some sort of jury telling the 'unpopular' girl to wear tampons or be uncool or something.. yecchh creepy...

[Classic Speedy]

The pro-choice commercial where all these women are horrified to see the headline "Abortion Outlawed!" on all the newspapers. First of all, if they're so scared, maybe they shouldn't be sleeping around so much. Secondly, how is abortion any different than murder? The only difference is the fetus/zygote doesn't have a choice in the matter. (Can you tell I'm pro-life?) Thirdly, they implied that the Senate members who voted against abortion were evil. That commercial was nothing but agenda-pushing propaganda. A close second commercial I hated is the home security system one (forget which company) where the mom and two kids are getting ready to watch a movie and a burglar breaks through the window with a knife and the petrified family (What? No father?) runs upstairs as the alarm blares incessantly. If the burglar were THAT desperate to rob the house, why would an alarm stop him? You'd think he'd run in and grab anything he could get his hands on and THEN leave. Also, why would the mother run UPSTAIRS to avoid the burglar's attacks? If he comes up there, you're cornered! That one, like pretty much all home security ads, preys on people's paranoias, and I don't like being preyed upon.

[Classic Speedy]

Not quite sure what the above comment implies, but anyway, I've got some more. Any "embarrasing female hygeine products" ad makes me mute the TV. Like men need to hear about this. And I know I'm going against the majority on this, but I liked the Juicy Fruit commercial with the benchpress. I love how the commercial ends REALLY abruptly with the lady yelling. (Actually, that's really the only part of the commercial I thought was funny...) And I can relate to Barky the Dog, as people ask you dumb questions all the time in the food salesman business.

That was a Brinks Home Security commercial. The woman and her children were defenseless. What else would you expect them to do?

[Matthew Hunter]

The "Pediasure" commercial with the little boy and his bunny. His mother explains that the rabbit will grow big and strong if he feeds it well...and he says "just like me!" then they explain about the nutrition Pediasure gives kids. The last line is "Look mom, he's getting bigger!"

Aughhh!!!!! Two words...WABBIT SEASON.

-Matthew

[Mackenzie Rainelle]

One of the local furniture companies does ads that try to rip off ANYTHING in pop culture. They've had cheap knockoffs of everyone from Steve Irwin to Harry Potter, and those commercials PISS ME OFF because they're so horribly done. First year computer arts students could do better with no budget. I want to take a bat to the TV every time they come on.

And has anyone mentioned the Dell Interns yet? ::chases them with a torch:: I reeeeeeeeeally hate them. Hate hate hate HATE them.

Auuuggh- I dislike that one, too. It's drenched in sweetness, has terrible acting, and would only be liked by mothers who are excited to have kids because they want them to behave that unbelievably innocent.
That was a Brinks Home Security commercial. The woman and her children were defenseless. What else would you expect them to do? OK, so maybe I was too hard on them. But maybe she could've grabbed a nearby blunt object to HIT him with?! ;) In a time of crisis, anything will do.

[Will Sturnick]

Apple Jacks: Uh-Oh, Apple Jacks will "taste like Apples" now, the world is ending! Why can't those foolish adults realize that us kids don't care if it really tastes like apples becuase "We eat what we like!".
AOL - Monks: This one is seriously overplayed, at first I would just mock what the monks saying to each other, but now I just stick my head into a pillow when it's on.
Breyer's Natural Ice Cream: I could care less if there are chemicals in Ice Cream that little kids can't pronounce. (Poly-sor-be-teeeeeeeee)
Gerber Baby Food: There is only one Gerber baby commercial I can't stand. It says how babies who eat Gerber will develop healthy eating habits, then they show an ex-Gerber baby (who's now 9) eating apple while smiling. It just bothers me how artifical it is.
Stacker: I pity people that think losing weight can be done by only taking a pill.
Subway: I like what they said in the 1st Jared commercial "After eating Subway sandwiches and doing a lot of walking..." I can't imagine he's that nice a persion in real life. I much perfer the SNL parody of these commercials, instead of people leaving their homes all skinny they were leaving them extremely fat (which is closer to the truth).
This one for a new woman's razor: It shows all these women shaving the "old" way and being unable to shave but the woman with this fancy new razor can with ease (when they're essentially doing the same thing).
Trix: Just give the rabbit his Trix, personally if I were the rabbit I would shoot all those damn kids and take their cereal "that's for Kids".

Local:
Cellino & Barnes: I can't stand lawyers that advertise on TV (especially as much as them). They're everywhere, they've got billboards and commercials playing on TV 24/7
Great House of Guitars: They only have like 5 commercials, which are all at least 15 years old. They constantly play one for the store's 32nd Anniversary,which seems to be every year.
Lori's Natural Foods: This is so pathetic it's funny. It has people in fruit costumes dancing around with a jingle playing in the background
"If you to live long and be healthy and strong...Shop at Lori's
To be good to Earth...Shop at Lori's
Shop at Lori's Natural FOOOOOOOOOODS"

Max Pies Furniture: It consists of the ower dancing around his store singing "Furniture, Furniture Man, I want to be your furniture man!" That and it looks like it was filmed in the mid 80's.Road Runner, Free Sofware: A couple of months ago, the people at my local Road Runner were offering free digital cameras (and the software to go with). So they made an incredibly annoying commercial and decided to show at least two times a show.

Shapiro & Shapiro: "I'm Jim 'The HAMMER!' Shapiro! I'll be your SOB!"

[Damien]

I'm totally anti-drug and anti-tobacco, but the commercials now are just...buying drugs support terrorism? In a sense, but come on. I'm not supposed to bum a joint because some dad got shot by the cartel for "getting in the way?" Usually, here in reality, that means that poor guy was probably trying to run off with some of the product, or as least a big cut of the cash.
TRUTH covering the streets with body bags? That closes the streets, creates detours, and wastes people's time. Using a loudspeaker in a public neighborhood during the night? Some people have families to settle down with at the end of the night. The last thing they need is someone disturbing the peace.
I think my fav. one is the kid who has the bum read about Project SCUM. Was he a real bum? If so, I sure hope he wasn't after getting paid to do that commercial. Was he just an actor? Shame on them for not getting a real bum and paying him a hefty sum of money, and shame on them for leading us to believe he was a real bum.

I respect what these people are trying to do, but some of the things they do are just silly.

[Mackenzie Rainelle]

Trix: Just give the rabbit his Trix, personally if I were the rabbit I would shoot all those damn kids and take their cereal "that's for Kids".


Amen to that. Just let the poor thing have some Trix, he's been trying for how many years now?

[B.W.H.]

Another commercial I despise like the plague is for this new line of dolls called Flavas. There like dolls from the ghteeo and the commercial seems more like a SNL skit then for real. The song goes something like this
" Flavas,Flavas what's youre favorite Flava?"

[Elven Moon]

I haven't seen the commercial and actually just saw the dolls for the first time a few days ago. I was like - "What the hell? Not another 'My Scene' and whatever the other one is called" :shrug: And they're actually made by a well-known company - they couldn't come up with a a better name than "Flava"?!

[Conekiller]

Amen to that. Just let the poor thing have some Trix, he's been trying for how many years now?
I remember back when i was in second grade ( about 13 years ago) they had a vote to see if the rabbit would get the trix he won ina race or not, the vote was unanimous and the rabbit at e the cereal. but the next wave of ads he was back to beign a victim allover again.

[Chimera]

I aslo hate the infomercial for the "Tummy Tucker". TUMMY IS NOT A REAL WORD! It sounds really stupid and really annoying every time the woman on the voice-over says "tummy" because she apparently sees nothing wrong with it. It's a stupid word that insults the intelligence of consumers who might be inclinded to buy the product. I could see them using the word for the product name, but the woman says it over and over like it's a real word. How often do you hear "tinkle" in an ad for bladder-control drugs? Never. Because it's a stupid little kid word that means nothing. ARRRRRRRRRRRG.

(I need to get more sleep)

Conekiller is correct, I remember that commercial from way back, and the Rabbit finally got the vote to feast on the 'Trix', and I agree with 'CK' that it makes no sense having the rabbit pining over the cereal all over again. :mad:

[Tienshin]

MY concern is why this seemingly nice rabbit is so hopelessly addicted to Trix? I refuse to touch the stuff lest I end up like that.

[Matthew Hunter]

The new Old Navy ad for the cargo pants. It's the 1970's disco thing, to the tune of "Boogie (Cargo )Fever". The "host", "Jamall", says "shake what yo mama gave ya!!!" ARGGGHHHH! And it's on EVERY COMMERCIAL BREAK!!! You can shake what your mama gave you all you want, but play that ad any longer and I will cut it off.

The Keebler Elf commercial with the "Elfvis" character singing about club crackers. Don't make me get all shook up, lace up my blue suede shoes and round up the hound dogs to hunt down the cartoonist who animated that. Thankyouverymuch.

-Matthew

[sammy_ siggles]

I hate that Dr. Pepper commercial with LL Cool J. He raps about being original, yet the company is telling him what to say! LL Cool J wouldn’t know the “Taste of Originality!” he only knows the “Taste of Fructose Corn Syrup!” and money. :|

[Spastic Minnow]

[AOL - Monks: This one is seriously overplayed, at first I would just mock what the monks saying to each other, but now I just stick my head into a pillow when it's on.


No wonder AOL/TIME Warner loses so much money, they jam those damn free discs in the tin boxes into every orifice of your body and spend 100's of millions on producing and saturizing the airwaves with commercials so annoying that they make you want to send them mail bombs... in little square tins, hee hee hee.

[Conekiller]

I like that AOl ad, just for the fact that they use the word "Carpathian" which reminds me of Ghostbusters 2, which was a funny movie. in whoch Bill Murray berates Vigo for chosing New York "only a CARPATHIAN!......."

but another one that truly gets my skin bubbling is the mini oreos one where the kid sees the cookie and runs home like a madman outta hell only to see that HE HASN'T GROWN AT ALL. Noone can be that dumb.

[Elven Moon]

And oh yes, I also don't like those "Mama's Got the Magic" and all those other commercials that imply that all women should do is clean the house and take care of the kids. Grrrr :mad: I guess I'm a feminist :sweat: There's also this dish cleaner stuff featuring that little droplet with the sunglasses.

[Behonkiss]

Really? I thought that was pretty funny for a kids' commercial.

Anyway, I hate, hate, HATE that "Rrrrruffles" baby, "NEW MAX-A-RONI, HERE'S THE DEAL!", and Kidz Bop.

[sag_2002]

...I hate, hate, HATE that "Rrrrruffles" baby, "NEW MAX-A-RONI, HERE'S THE DEAL!", and Kidz Bop.

More good choices.

And wow! 7 pages worth of goodness. My most loved commercials post has, what, 4 now? These commercial posts are popular.

[Spastic Minnow]

Really starting to hate that Converse classic commercial with that sad excuse for "poetry." It was alright when it started but now it's getting way too much play.

And a question about a commercial. You know those commercials for Time Warner Calbe or I-control or whatever where a person imagines a rediculous situation where they're inconvenienced by their cable TV or Dial-Up connection and they announce a weird conclusion about their fantasy (possibly a regional thing). In the one where the guy mentions to his friend that if they watch a movie than he won't have time to pick up his mother from the airport, after he has the fantasy about his mother being picked up by bikers and being arrested for a bar brawl what does the guy say? What I can get is "Cable won't make my mom *mumblemumble* in the yard." What does he mumble!?

Those commercials are actually decent and somewhat humorous (I usually always chuckle at "Dial-up won't bury joggers in my garden!") but in the above example it's completely ruined by the fact that the punchline is ruined.

[HellCat]

New one to add- the new adverts for Currys, an electronics chain in the UK. They have this really annoying woman with big teeth sticking her face in front of the camera and a horrible jingle- "Currys, always cutting prices!"

[Zim_Zany9000]

That damned lady in the crest white strips commercial trying to talk ending up sounding like she has no lower jaw bone while using the strip then takes it off and talks more.. makes me want to punch her teeth down her throat so she won't have to worry about white strips or advertising like a moron again...

I'd also have to say that Sony long life light bulb commercial where this idiot stacks up all his furniture to put in the light bulb.. I guess he's too stupid to invest in a foot stool or ladder.. It'd be justice just to see the screen go black just as you hear a loud scream then a deafening crash.

next up...the Depends commercial where the old lady talks about losing bladder control and confides in her fogey buddies abut how her depends diapers now help.. I can just imagine they had to cut out the crinkling noises she made when she walked.

[DaphHime]

I hate that one Comcast commercal with the two "nerds" trying to talk to the ladies and their attention is averted by Star Trek. Worst case of sterotypeing ever. :mad:

Those tapon commercals where they say that "wearing a pad feels like a diper." If it feels like a diper than you're obvously not whearing the right kind.

The Carrot Top commercals. 'Nuff said.

The "Worsip Together" commercals that come on like every few minutes on cable. I hate haveing relgion stuffed down my thraot. And the fotages of those conserts are disterbing for some reason.

Kidz Bop. I hate it when they butcher songs and "kiddiefy" them.

[Animation Otaku]

The stupid verb commericals, of course. And the Scooby Doo snack commercial where the people start talking like the characters, plus that Nike commercial with the kid saying he'll outrace anyone. I always have to mute those they are so annoying.

[Meow]

I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this yet, but I dislike every Pepsi commercial where they compare themselves to Coke. All of them are annoying.

[sandwichman]

We have a local commercial for Jim Reed, THE AUTO GIANT where a car salesman is walking around Nashville making stupid poses. DEATH TO HIM!

Skippy Squeeze: I, for one, do not feel especially cool when I eat peanut butter.

Trix: In all honesty, I think those selfish kids are sparing a poor, innocent rabbit a bowl of hell-in-your-mouth.

Kidz Bop: I think everone knows about this.

Verb: Why do you need commercials for a part of speech? Why not "Preposition" or "Adjective Clause"? I might finally be able to pass english. Woo.

[Tanooki]

GO YAFFA!!!

these little plastic containers they are trying to sell as real furniture

...

[Jowy Blight]

These aren't so much hated commercials as are ones that freaked me out.

The first was an Ego commercial where the father, after trying (and failing) to get waffles from was son and daughter, trys to take them from the baby. Then in one of the most freaky things I have ever seen, the baby turns into some wacked out monster and stops the father from getting her Ego's.

The second one was a pringles commercial with what looked to be some kinda clay faced boy and girl. They spent the whole commerical speaking in jibberish with the girl always trying to take the chips from the boy. It was mostly just how their faces looked and some of the things they did that creeped me out.

[Sir T. Ghostal]

Ok, this commercial makes me want to throw a brick through the TV Screen. The one for those Toaster Strudels, the kid has a piece of Toaster Strudel on his pants and he's like, "look, it's toaster strudel." The other kid eat's and and asks for more. WHAT'S THE FRIGGIN PUNCHLINE????? :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :confused: :mad:

[Conekiller]

an oldie but baddie, almost as bad as the infamous "I've fallen and I cna't get up" tagline

a kid is being grilled by his dad about the drugs he found in the kid's room. then after a heated verbal beating the kid just bursts out with "I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU, DAD!" followed by akward silence. Ugh!

[supermonkey]

I hate the subway commercials too. They have one blonde guy on there and you can tell he is a real a-hole in real life.

[Behonkiss]

Sort of. There were two of them. In the one you're describing, all the baby does is grab the father by the hand and lift him up into the air with superhuman strength and shake him up a bit. The other(And freakier one)is where that girl is talking to her doll, and when her brother tries to touch her Eggo, she turns into a freaky-looking monster.

Personally, that reminds me of a commercial that I downright HATED as a kid. Back in the mid-90's, they advertised for Rice Krispies Treats by having a kid get angrier and angrier because they wanted one. Finally, they turn into a clay-faced denizen of hell, screeching, "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-EEEEEEE-IIIIII WAAAAAAAAAANT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEE!!!" Those things gave me nightmares. Anyone else remember them?

This is local, but i think those Jordans furniture guys are starting to wear out their welcome IMO (Though i DID love their Simpsons parody).

The Old navy ones. They really think they sell cheap.(Here in puertorico there's old Navy stores as well).

[mobo85]

Verb: Why do you need commercials for a part of speech? Why not "Preposition" or "Adjective Clause"? I might finally be able to pass english. Woo.

These are part of a campaign from the Centers for Disease Control. (Apparently, other people were confused, as their name now appears alongside their logo; albeit as "U.S. Department of Health and Human Services/CDC"). The idea is for kids to get out and do things, hence the idea of "Verb: it's what you do." As I said before, I'm guessing they figured "Hey you! Excersize, you lazy bum!" wasn't an effective slogan.

[Mackenzie Rainelle]

they're not really terrible ads, but those 'Worship Together' things are hideously, HIDEOUSLY overplayed. >_<;; I've gotten to the point that if one comes on, I wanna take an axe to my TV.

The new Pepsi Vanilla vs. Vanilla Coke commercial. Enough said.

~B+:

I agree with this completely. I mean, first of all, I thought the Vanilla Coke driver was listening to a pretty cool song. Does anyone know the name of that song? But, of course, just as I'm getting into that song that stupid retarded Pepsi driver starts playing a crappy rap song so I can't hear the cool Vanilla Coke song! And the most retarded thing about the commercial is that the Vanilla Pepsi guy can't even carry Pepsi on his truck because it's filled with huge speakers!

[Meow]

And the most retarded thing about the commercial is that the Vanilla Pepsi guy can't even carry Pepsi on his truck because it's filled with huge speakers! Not to mention the obvious fact that he's going to shake the drinks up by bouncing the truck up and down like that. I think Pepsi intentionly makes it's commercials annoying so they stick in your head.

[Chimera]

I think the worst part of that commercial is that they're implying that the Pepsi Driver's song is better than the Coke Driver's song.

[StarScream64]

I haven't seen this one yet. So this is a Pepsi commercial? I though that using the competitor's name in a commercial was an advertising no-no.

Chef Boyardee- I can't stand those commercials that always have some stupid kids singing raviloli filled with beef (I don't remember what they say here, and they always finish it with this!) Chef Boyardee!
oh boy oh boy oh boy!

I also hate those Maxaroni commercials

I hate the stupid fruit roll up commercials and their stupid "new creations"

I also hate the Squeeze-able Skippy ads

VERB- This is really dumb

I hate the pediasure commercials with that 4 year old kid, that always says this in the sappiest way ever: "This taste good!" The rabbit in the commercial is cute though.

I hate oveltine ads- "More oveltine please!"

I hate dell computer ads, and any cell phone ad, or any barbie ad

I hate the new Keebler Elf ads "Now do you believe in elves?"

By the way the lady with the thick black glasses that used to appear in the Old Navy Commercials died a couple of years ago so thats why you don't see her no more. I also hae the new Old Navy "Beaver" ad with Fran's stupid laugh.

[Behonkiss]

Here's another one that bugs me: The Pringles ad where that kid won't trade his Pringles for ANYTHING. What a stuck-up brat.

[Krypton710]

That Flava commercial annoys the living day lights out of me every time I see the urge to strap explosives too my tv and blow it to kingdom come rises. Theres also that stuipid Cammbells soup commercial where Lil' Bow Wow is playing baskettball against some unathletic uncorrdinated engilsh gentleman for the last bowl of the Cambbles soup and during almost the whole stupid commercial lil' bow wow's "music" is playing!! :mad:

[Puu_MadamJelly]

"VERB- This is really dumb"~courageeditor

WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO SELL?? I don't understand how anyone can make a profit out of these commericals. If the government wants people to be active, they're not going to encourage anything with a commerical. Peeple are lazy because they chose to be.

[Carlos]

There's one local commerical I hate and it's for this furniture store called "Sticks and Stuff." There's this car racing lady who's telling you to buy furniture from the place. It's annoying because IT KEEPS POPPING UP ON EVERY SINGLE CHANNEL! I also don't like Comcast's Digital Cable ads. Bow Wow's Campbells commerical is dumb because it has bad lines(WAHT'S UP?, SOOPS UP!), some white guy who can't play basketball(oh come on, it's not THAT hard to make a basket), and Bow Wow showing off. THANKS BOW WOW, WE CAN CLEARLY SEE YOU CAN PLAY BASKETBALL.

I like those DN&L commericals. :D

One thing I hate about those verb commercials is when they say really stupid stuff like "Talking is not a verb".

[Mackenzie Rainelle]

Scary fact: I KNOW a couple of kids who act like they stepped out of those commercials, aged 6 and 4. They terrify me, especially the girl.

And the most retarded thing about the commercial is that the Vanilla Pepsi guy can't even carry Pepsi on his truck because it's filled with huge speakers!

The Vanilla Coke driver is listening to Ridin' the Storm Out by REO Speedwagon. It is a pretty cool song. I guess the point is it's a somewhat older song, and Pepsi is always trying to act like it's more hip than Coke. It's weird though, because it seems we're supposed to think the Pepsi driver is really cool, but yet the truck is bouncing him all over the place like he's having an eplileptic fit.

I hate the recent TCBY frozen yogurt commercials. They all go something like this:

"62% of Americans are overweight. TCBY has the solution - EAT MORE DESSERT!!"

What??? Does this commercial make any sense to anyone?? First, if I were fat I sure wouldn't want to be reminded of it. And if someone did remind me of it, I'd probably be feeling too depressed to eat dessert. More importantly though, the commercial clearly seems to imply that eating their frozen yogurt will somehow help people lose weight. This is just insultingly stupid.

[Boy Wonder]

The only thing that I like about the "Pepsi Vanilla" commericials is the Pepsi truck hoppin.

[Classic Speedy]

In response to the Pepsi Vanilla comments, I think it's ironic that Coke was the one to come up with the Vanilla flavoring first, and Pepsi trying to imitate it just seems like an immature, insecure schoolboy who copies everything the cool kid does to get attention (and never succeeds). The commercial solidifies my theory. I don't know about the rest of you, but I have started to either mute entire commercial breaks/go to the bathroom, or change channels to find non-commercials for roughly 2 minutes, then flip back to my program. I'm really getting sick of advertisements in general. Anybody agree with me on that?

And here's a commercial that makes no sense: the I Love the 70s 1979 comercial where a kid gives a football player a Coke and then the player tosses him some equiptment and then they say "Coke adds life". That's wrong because Coke sort of weakens life and here's why:
Coke has a lot of phosphoric acid in it. That kind of acid attacks through the enamel of the tooth, hence weakening it.

This new drink called DNL_ It starts with this lepracane on a sidewalk selling DNL then a cop comes up and asks does he have a permit then the lepracane sayas im not real im a myth and starts dancing aroun :shrug: d


that's actually kind of funny.. comparing the stuff they've come up for 7-up which is bottled in shame in dallas, texas and is a lot of satans. the one i like , most, is where the leprechaun dances and he goes sarcastic on the guy saying 'no, you want the OTHER leprechaun' or something to that effect, and continues dancing.

where do they get these guys anyway? maybe i could trade on in for cash at a pawn shop @_@

Local:
Cellino & Barnes: I can't stand lawyers that advertise on TV (especially as much as them). They're everywhere, they've got billboards and commercials playing on TV 24/7
Great House of Guitars: They only have like 5 commercials, which are all at least 15 years old. They constantly play one for the store's 32nd Anniversary,which seems to be every year.
Lori's Natural Foods: This is so pathetic it's funny. It has people in fruit costumes dancing around with a jingle playing in the background
"If you to live long and be healthy and strong...Shop at Lori's
To be good to Earth...Shop at Lori's
Shop at Lori's Natural FOOOOOOOOOODS"

Max Pies Furniture: It consists of the ower dancing around his store singing "Furniture, Furniture Man, I want to be your furniture man!" That and it looks like it was filmed in the mid 80's.Road Runner, Free Sofware: A couple of months ago, the people at my local Road Runner were offering free digital cameras (and the software to go with). So they made an incredibly annoying commercial and decided to show at least two times a show.

Shapiro & Shapiro: "I'm Jim 'The HAMMER!' Shapiro! I'll be your SOB!"


you're lucky. ... in comparison.

there's these two car salesmen for payne motors in south texas who hawk cars like they were the stuff.. they do things they think are funny, like surf fake bluescreened waves, pretend to be cavemen, , have their heads superimposed on different characters from films, etc.. like they've been anywhere, like it's funny when it's not. i think they even pretended to be blown up...
and they do it all...regardless.

i wish they could sell their organs to science sometimes.

"Coke Adds Life" was the slogan at the time, but really has nothing to do with the commercial. The football player in the ad was a Pittsburgh Steeler named "Mean" Joe Greene. And apparently, he was really tough on the football field. This commerical showed him as a nice guy. It worked very well. Even if you don't know who Greene is, I think it works, since this little boy is unsure if Mean Joe, his favorite player, will take the Coke. And when he does, he expects nothing in return, but gets Joe's jersey.

[Yuss]

I can't stand when a company makes two commercials, and they're always aired back-to-back. Pop-Secret's doing it now. Why does this always happen?

Another thing I hate is commercials that have lists ("Dating Tip #57: blah blah blah," "Dating Tip #136, blah blah blah"), because they never make more than two of the commercials. (And they're usually aired back-to-back. ;) )

[goat]

Any kid's product/cereal commercial. Like most of 'em on Kids WB.

Most commercials where the adult is the dumb antagonist and the kid is obviously smarter because they "get" it (Apple Jacks, Cinammon Toast Crunch).

The new Barbie commercials. The old ones were bad enough, but now they're trying to give Barbie this hip new look. Even skimpier outfits, trying to look sexy. And in one commercial, there's this guy rapping in the background, and I KNOW I heard him say "I'm down with her [Barbie] and my name ain't Ken." ...wow. And now there's this Cheerleader Barbie. It's disgusting.

Weird candy commercials like Baby Bottle Pop and Ring Pop.

Ring Pop and Verb are having these contests. For Ring Pop's you have to send in a picture of your hand doing something with Ring Pops on it. Verb's is sending in a video of you doing something (really, that's what the contest is). Whenever I see these commercials I want to send in a picture of a hand giving the middle finger surrounded by Ring Pops and a video of someone flopping on a couch and saying "My verb is sitting. Verb. It's what you do." But I won't...

I like the "Johnny Chase" AOL commercial, but I REALLY hope they stop overplaying it. Everyone's gonna get sick of it and start hating on teh anime. Well probably not. But it will get really annoying.

"HHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-JUH!!!!" :p

Mr. Windshield:



Kid: When are you gonna let me drive?
Dad: When you turn 16.
Kid: But Dad, I am 16!
Dad: I'll let you drive when you learn some repsonsibility.

[All of a sudden there's a big crack in the windshield. The kid and dad are outside the car.]

Kid: Don't worry Dad. I'll just call Mr. Windshield.

[Mr. Windshield puts in a new windshield. Dad hands the kid the car keys.]

Dad: Great job son. Now you can drive.



All of this is terrible, horrific acting. There's also another version with a lady in really tacky clothing getting her windshield broken and singing a song about "Bada Boom, Bada Bing! Call Mr. Windshield!"

Nope, not sad at all. It was quick and to the point.

The Comcast Digital Cable commercials with the "regular" people telling their stories about why they switched to digital cable. I am sick of that stupid guy from New Jersey and his stupid wife complaining about not being able to watch the Sopranos.


-"Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now".....to mute my TV.

With you on that one. I especially hate the one where the juror has to go to the bathroom. After taking the stuff, they show her standing in front of the rest of the jury in a room. I'm not sure what they mean to imply that she is doing. I hope that taking whatever it is that she took had no effect on the outcome of that trial. A person's life could be at stake.
"Take Immodium AD and put that guy away for life."

Also, the one for Beano that has the two women eating lunch talking about excess gas. I can't believe two reasonable people would sit through that conversation. If anyone has gas or can't eat certain food items because of fear of gas, I don't want to hear about it.

For that matter, I hate every gas commercial. Certain products don't need to be advertised on TV.
Everyone knows that there are products available if you have gas/diarrhea/constipation. There is no reason to spread awareness of such products through a televison commercial. It's not like this is an impulse item. No one says, "You know, I could really go for some Beano right now."

I just mentioned this I don't think anyone has talked about this Fruit by the Foot commercial.

"I just won $10,000. Bling bling! *moonwalks*"

[Terri]

The coca-cola ad where the kid looks into the frig saying, "mom where's the coke." The can of coke is right behind a jar. Everytime, I see it I want to say, "Move the items around and you will find it!"

The Tampax Pearl Ad awlays makes me gag...
     This girl excuses herself from her boyfriend(?) and walkis into the host's upsatirs bathroom. She lays her NEW PEARL TAMPAX on an open window sill. She accidently knocks the tamax of the windows, landing on a bush below.
The klutz franticly searches her hosts cabinets :o to look for another one. To her dismay she finds a rival product. The next shot is a long line of you-know-whats slithering down the bathroom towards the fallen whatzit, being ignored by two people conversing in front of said bush. The next shot, the felmale comes out and her friend asks her what took her so long?
"Oh," she replies, "there was a long line"[/INDENT]

[Elven Moon]

I wonder how the host reacts when she finds the trash can in the bathroom filled with the things :o

[Nik Jam]

Pepsi Vanilla is easily the worst, especially because I hear it tastes the same as Vanilla Coke, thus arguing that VC isn't "even close" is BS.

Kidz Bop, Old Navy, and most musical commercials do stink too..

and can't forget MTV2's commercial.

[Proto DUDE]

When I got some Vanilla Pepsi, I was almost afraid to open it, because the truck driver has some pretty dang good hydraulics on his vehicle.

I have a friend named Max, and we all call him Maxroni. And I always use, "...TO THE MAX" in front of him.

[Mysterious Saturn]

There's a commercial for a place that sells sub sandwhiches (no, not Subway, but I do hate those commercials) where two guys sit on a park bench. One has a sub from said place and it is toasted, the other's is not toasted. So toasted sub guy rudely asks if the other was raised by wolves because he's eating an untoasted sub. I think this ad is for (forgive my spelling of the name) Quiznos, or something to that effect. Are we to beleive that all customers from that store have very large wooden sticks shoved up their...*ahem* y'know? They sure are rude.

One good point about it, though, the other guy then gets very smug and says, "Yes, yes I was raised by wolves. Hmm." It would have been much better if he then beat the other guy with his untoasted sub and took the toasted one.

Anyway, those are all good examples of bad commercials, but I got one that'll give you all aneurysms and heart attacks so brace yourselves:

You know those MacDonald's commercials where that latent pedophile Ronald McDonald has fun (read: stalks) the kids in some way, shape, or form (he's like the Jason of fast food...and crappy fast food at that). Well, there's this one where a black kid is doing homework in her room on a desk where her computer is. Her mom walks by to check up on her and leaves. Then as the mom leaves, the black girl gets a notice on her computer stating that she has a new email message. Well, out pops a Happy Meal and Ronald is on the computer screen with other Happy Meals and says something to the extent of "I gotta send these out to more kids". Man, that was some frightening [expletive deleted] when you consider that there are pedophiles preying after little kids on the Net. Does anyone remember when the Ronald MacDonald commercials used to be fun to watch and used to include Grimace, the bird girl, those pom-poms with feet, and the Hamburglar? Now there are commercials where Ronald is alone with kids and the parents don't try to get their children away from this maniac.

That's why I'm eating at Burger King--they'd never do anything like this. Wendy's is cool too, but it does those stupid "Wendy's Kids Meal" commercials where it constantly puts down adults and makes Generation Y look cool.

[Classic Speedy]

[QUOTE]You know those MacDonald's commercials where that latent pedophile Ronald McDonald has fun (read: stalks) the kids in some way, shape, or form (he's like the Jason of fast food...and crappy fast food at that).[QUOTE] Me and my friend made up a hilarious scenario with some Ronald pedophilia, but it's kinda adult and shouldn't be mentioned here. ;) All I'll say is, during the scenario Ronald says, "Did somebody say McDonalds?" in a gruff, evil voice.

[candy17]

Tenshien pointed out about this Kool-Aid commercial and let me just say, I sympathize. I hate the Kool-Aid commercials where it shows all black people because to me that's a horrible stereotype (even though I do drink Kool-Aid once in a while, I mostly drink soda, water, and fruit drinks). The ones with the Kool-Aid man and the kids are a little less blatant in the pedophilia dept. (unlike Ronald McDonald), but I don't care much for them.

I also hate as several other posts have said, those Christian music commercials, the MTV2 Talking Baby commercials, and the Arbor Day foundation commercials. God, they're pathetic. If they disappeared tomorrow, I'd cry...with tears of joy.

[Proto DUDE]

DANimals is just stupid. Now, I know this is aimed at nine year old kids, but most nine year old kids can speak in full sentences with at least two syllables in them, minus the words "DANimal" and "Fruitylicious."

I mean, Ewwwww! What I would like to know is who was the person that came up with that idea?

"I wanna ride in a chariot!"

Is that what he said? I don't remember the exact words.

About "unmentionable" body function product ads (such as tampons)-
I know most of them are corny, but remember there are people who buy those products. Just because you're not the target consumers doesn't mean there are no consumers. Companies need the advertising and the ads can help inform the target audience that the product is available. It's ok if you have a valid reason for disliking the commercial, but "I don't need to see this" just seems a little self-centered to me. :sweat:

[Nin-Nin69]

That Greek Danables commercial was fricken confusing. It just starts out with "I wanna ride the charriot" as 2 kids and a Lion go down a hallway. Next a statue salutes them as they grab his shield. Then they fly in the air as Zeus throws lightning at them with the biggest smile you've ever seen and is blocked with the shield. Finally their famous slogan kicks in and I die of a tumor.

[candy17]

MY concern is why this seemingly nice rabbit is so hopelessly addicted to Trix? I refuse to touch the stuff lest I end up like that.
Funny you should mention that because I read somewhere that Malaysian doctors found a substance similar to heroin in Trix cereals. I don't know if it's true, but it makes you think...

Anyway, I should have mentioned this before, but I absolutely can't stand those Ovaltine commercials with the whitebread upper-middle class parents and kids who can't act. At least be realistic.

My idea: Show a poor/low class family (of any kind) collecting dirt in an Ovaltine cannister in their evicted apartment/house that they still live in despite threats of eviction and litigation from not paying rent and they mix the dirt in with month old milk and as they choke it down, a wrecking ball comes and takes out the whole lot of them.

[Behonkiss]

Here's one I saw today:

This hyperactive, way-over-the-top, and ALWAYS smiling couple is prancing around in their living room, naming places they want to go for a vacation with bad acting. "Mexico? France?" And then, in the most annoying way possible:

"HAAAAA-WAAAAIIII-EEEEEEEEEEEE!"

[Classic Speedy]

I haven't yet seen the Quiznos toasted sub commercial you're referring to above, but it DOES sound needlessly mean-spirited. How is that going to attract customers- by insulting them? The ironic thing is, I found the original Quiznos to be hilarious (you know, the ones with the crooked researcher). "Test subject, what would you like? This Quiznos toased sub or this untoasted sub with lettuce?" (Lettuce is actually money; the man quickly grabs the money) "Mmm-hmm! Clearly prefers the UNTOASTED sub with... the lettuce." Or the other one, "How far would you go for a Quiznos toasted sub?" (shows a Quiznos across from a super busy freeway) "I could get hurt!" "Wouldn't even cross the STREET for a toasted sub!" They've gotta have that guy in more commercials- he's got great comic timing. While I'm on the sub soapbox, here's a commercial I am thorougly sick of: The Subway one (which actually started airing LAST YEAR- and they're still showing it!) with the guy in the elevator and a fellow employee says "So how was lunch, Bob?" "MAGNIFICOOOOOO!!!!" It was cute the first time but it quickly got tiresome. They ruined a good opera song, too, by singing "Subway, eat fresh" at the end.

[Lu775]

My least favourite ads right now are the ones for that "Tubes" yogurt. (Yogurt in a grab and go tube). There's a whole series of these, but the gist in each one is someone's stolen someone elses "tubes" and when they try to deny it, their voice sounds like they're speaking through a hollow tube. :rolleyes:

eg. Kid: Dad, did you eat all the tubes?
Dad: *sounding echo-hollow-tubey* What's a tube?

Kid: Mom, why didn't you pack a tube in my lunch?
Mom:*sounding echo-hollow-tubey* Sorry, we're all out of tubes.

Guh. Annoying!

[Classic Speedy]

Anyone like the U.S. Cellular commercials that aired a couple years back with the glasses-wearing guy talking to the uninterested salesman? "I would like to buy a phone. A... a cellular phone." "Here's a cool one." "Ah! Cool's good!" "Here's another cool one." "Uh, enough with the coolness, more about the features." "Put it up to your ear. Like that. See? You look cool." I found those pretty funny, even if they repeated them a bunch of times.

[candy17]

"Ch-ch-ch-chia!!!" "Try our new Chia-Shaggy and Chia-Scooby!" :rolleyes:
I've never heard of that one. Did that come on in another state or what?


Then there's that Honey Combs commercial with Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. After I while I was chanting "Eat the girl! Eat the girl!"
That wasn't Honey Combs; it was Honey Nut Cherrios.


Ooh, and let's not forget "Watch it float in MIDAIR! GOOO, YAFFA!!!"
Oh, the horror! The HORROR!!!
Amen.

To the people who hate the AOL commercials, I hate all of them too, except for the one where Carson Daly (that tool from MTV who hosted TRL) tries to get into this club, but the bouncer tells him that he's not on the list. Then the AOL running man gets in front of Carson and the bouncer recognizes him and lets him in. Then all the girls who were around Carson follow the AOL running man into the club and at the end of the commercial, Carson still can't get in. I guess I like this one because Carson is finally shown as the uncool loser he really is. It's a shame this commercial doesn't air during one of MTV's many 10-hour commercial breaks.

Some other commercials that I hate:

-There's this one where this little kid has two glasses of milk and a pack of Oreos and he keeps spilling the milk. What a waste of milk! http://forums.toonzone.net/images/smilies/mad.gif If I were that kid's mother, I'd whup his punk ass, make him clean up the milk, and eat all of the Oreos for myself.

-The one for this board game called Fib Finder where these girls grill this one girl on her secret crush. The girl getting grilled confesses that her crush is on her friend's brother and it ends with the shrill, prepubescent giggling of the girls. That, IMO, should have been more like Jerry Springer (with chair throwing, bleeped-out words, people chanting "Jerry, Jerry!", and fist-fighting).

-This Christmas Ronald McDonald commercial that came on when I was really young. It's about this girl who runs away from home and on the way, she sees Ronald. Ronald asks her why she's leaving home and she says that "everyone says I'm too little". That one was so sappy, I wanted to wipe my tears with a pancake.


The new Barbie commercials. The old ones were bad enough, but now they're trying to give Barbie this hip new look.The old Barbie commercials were way better than this new crap.


In one commercial, there's this guy rapping in the background, and I KNOW I heard him say "I'm down with her and my name ain't Ken."
Dude, I gotta listen to that one again.



And now there's this Cheerleader Barbie. It's disgusting.

Not as disgusting as the commercials for Bratz!, Diva Stars, and Flava Dolls (my sister said Flava Dolls promote teenage sex in some way, but damned if I can find it. Maybe it's because of the girls in midriff bearing shirts and jeans that show off their big round black girl butts...if any).

With you on that one. I especially hate the one where the juror has to go to the bathroom. After taking the stuff, they show her standing in front of the rest of the jury in a room. I'm not sure what they mean to imply that she is doing. I hope that taking whatever it is that she took had no effect on the outcome of that trial. A person's life could be at stake.


"Take Immodium AD and put that guy away for life."
Those "Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now" commercials aren't for Immodium AD; they're for some bladder control pill (Detrol, for anyone who wants to know). For once, in those commercials, I wanted someone to have an accident (and DYN that the people who have to go in those commercials are women. What about men or even kids?)

And there's this one I don't get: The commercial was for a patio building kit. This married couple gets their kid to make margaritas(?) for them. At the end of the commercial when the couple gets their drinks, they react to how nasty it is. What happened? Did the kid pee in it? Did he make it too sweet? Did he spit in it? What? Someone tell me!

[Mercurial206]

I searched this thread looking for any mention of the "new" Juicy Fruit gum campaign...but found little or no mention, sorry if this is a repeat.

I really (REALLY) hate that commerical that shows a girl opening up a pack of Juicy Fruit gum (at school) and she is suddenly mobbed by other kids whining "Gimmie some!". At this point the gray haired spokesman chimes in and starts talking about this "car door" that can be used to deny the beggars access to her gum. It basically shows this girl opening up her gum again, but when she is mobbed, she simply rolls up this car door window (attached to actual car door) that appears to be hanging around her neck (?). Then the spokesman says "Whoa, denied!" or something to that effect.

Now...don't get me wrong, I love commercials that are a bit odd, or kooky...but this is by far one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. It's not funny at all. Chewing gum + girl + cardoor does NOT equal good laughs. Oh, and the new packaging for this gum is terrible...they should have left it alone.

[Carolina Red]

I want to add in another recent commercial - those ads for the walkie-takies from Nextel are really bad. In one, they show them using them in a wedding, and in another there is a "Romeo and Juliet" parody where they use them and go through the play in thirty seconds. Those commercials are ignorant. Why do they need them if they are just steps away from each other? (i was watching this at my parents' house while watching football; if my mother was here, she would probably go on for a couple of paragraphs on this)

I also forgot about this, and I can't believe nobody has mentioned this: Those Shedd's Spread Country Crock ads. Where the two people are talking and they incorporate the product into the ad, but all you see are their hands? They even added a baby a few years ago. Very corny.

And those Pine Sol ads with the fat woman telling you about the product? Those are annoying.....(does his impersonation of the lady in the ads) Let me tell you something, girlfriend, you have got to shut up and realize that you aren't my mother!

The Philips Milk of Magnesia ads are kind of like that too. So this wife is complaining because her husband is constipated - big deal! Don't tell me about his personal problems, it's none of my business.

That Radio Shack ad where Cal Ripken Jr. hears that his new neighbor is named Ozzie....I knew where this ad was going to go the first time I saw it - Ozzy Osbourne was going to be involved in some way or another, and he was! This ad is completely predictable, and it proves once again that Ozzy Osbourne has destroyed his image as a rock legend.

Rock on!

[Spastic Minnow]

That stupid VISA ad where George Steinbrener asks Derek Jeter how the starting shortstop of the Yankees can afford to go out every night dancing, dining and going out with friends.

Am I the only one that wants to yell HE'S THE STARTING SHORTSTOP FOR THE FRIGGIN' NEW YORK YANKEES!!!? The guy's a millionaire, of corse he can afford to spend just about as much money as he wants. Having a VISA card doesn't come into the equation in the least.

If a baseball team owner had to ask that question the players would strike faster than the Detroit Tigers strike out.

[Conekiller]

One with these old, happy itallian women doing backflips and jumping for joy in slow motion. It's annyoing and gross. I think it's advertising pasta sauce.

I had to bring this back up for a reason: My sister kept telling me about this one Milky Way commercial where this guy is in a (legitimate) massage parlor and he keeps groaning in ecstasy from eating a Milky Way. My sister kept saying, "Who would want to get off on a candy bar?" Hands down worst commercial ever.

[Chimera]

So far we've seen shampoo, hair conditioners, and candy bars induce orgasms in consumers. What's next? I'm thinking moist towletts.

We used to have a radio jingle down here for a hospital. It made my ears poke my eyes. It went like this.

We're with you here to stay,
With the doctors, stuff, and services,
We make miracles come truuuueeee,

Proof oxygen is wasted on people like those kids who got "denied". I mean, come on, they could just go around the car door and get the gum.

[Behonkiss]

Oh, God. Has anyone else seen that commercial where a woman walks around licking everything in sight? Her cat, car, trash cans, flyswatter, everything. The point? SMOKING IS DISGUSTING!

Some people eat while watching TV, y'know.

[Alex Toon]

"Coke Adds Life" was the slogan at the time, but really has nothing to do with the commercial. The football player in the ad was a Pittsburgh Steeler named "Mean" Joe Greene. And apparently, he was really tough on the football field. This commerical showed him as a nice guy. It worked very well. Even if you don't know who Greene is, I think it works, since this little boy is unsure if Mean Joe, his favorite player, will take the Coke. And when he does, he expects nothing in return, but gets Joe's jersey.
Well, it makes much more sense now.

No, punching's too good. How 'bout a good old-fashioned throttling (strangling for those who don't know what throttling means). Those commercials are pointless. Okay, they're Pop-Tarts with yogurt in them. What's the big deal?

However, the commercials incite deep hatred within me.

[Sue_Jackson]

That commercial for that anti-fungal toe medicine. The one where the little gremlin lifts the toenail as if it's on a hinge, and they sets to unfecting the nail bed? Ew, make me vomit, why don't you?

Ewwwww!! I hate that one! That one truly grosses me out when I see it. >_<

Also, can't stand the Dell commercials with that Steve guy y'know..."Dude! You're gettin' a Dell." I wanted to strangle the guy. But, those intern geeks are just as bad. :rolleyes:

The 1-800-COLLECT commercial with the angel girl. That one is just so gay.

I can't stand the Orbit gum commercials either with the British girl.

Oh....and those Apple Jacks commercials are so stupid.

That 10-10-987 (or.....whatever it is) with John Stamos. I love John Stamos, but pitch of those commercials just seems so weak. :rolleyes:

Oh man, just when I thought I had seen the worst tampon/pad ads, here comes the most repulsive one yet: A girl is sitting in class and someone passes her something. The male teacher tells her to bring it to him- it's a tampon/pad (forget which). He says, "Did you bring enough for everybody?" She says, "Enough for the girls." GAGGGGG!!!!!!!!!

[Novdeloth]

I hate that commercial too and it would have been better if the girl whose tampon fell out the window actually dove out the window to get it, thuse either killing or seriously injuring herself. Oh, if we only had our way.

It'd serve her right. What dumb-ass puts a personal hygieneic item on a window sill where it can fall off or someone will see it?


I also hate as several other posts have said, those Christian music commercials

No kidding. It sickens me to see those weeping, hand-holding, singing people acting as if listening to this music somehow brings them closer to their deity. "*sob! weep!* I'm so filled with reverence with this bland music!" Sakes, I know devout Christians who don't get that emotional when they listen to Christian music or watch one of the many movie adaptations of Jesus's life.


-There's this one where this little kid has two glasses of milk and a pack of Oreos and he keeps spilling the milk. What a waste of milk! If I were that kid's mother, I'd whup his punk ass, make him clean up the milk, and eat all of the Oreos for myself.

You'd make a terrific, loving mother. ;)

I have my money on razors and/or Ovaltine.

I also hate this one commercial where this girl is at this washing machine and she throws her shirt in the wash. A guy comes along with his dirty laundry and a beer. He pops off the cap and soon the girl throws her bra in the wash. The message? If you drink beer girls will take off their clothes and have WILD and UNINHIBITED sex with you and they'll also This message has been truncated by the Repressive and Moral Society: Keeping Your Evil Desires In Check Since the Middle Ages. a piece of sexist crap. This is probably just one of the hundreds of reasons why women are still striving to be seen as equals.

Proof oxygen is wasted on people like those kids who got "denied". I mean, come on, they could just go around the car door and get the gum.
That's, like, the joke. It's supposed to be stupid. That's one of my favorite commercials.

It'd serve her right. What dumb-ass puts a personal hygieneic item on a window sill where it can fall off or someone will see it?
Apparently the dumbass in the commercial.



No kidding. It sickens me to see those weeping, hand-holding, singing people acting as if listening to this music somehow brings them closer to their deity. "*sob! weep!* I'm so filled with reverence with this bland music!" Sakes, I know devout Christians who don't get that emotional when they listen to Christian music or watch one of the many movie adaptations of Jesus's life.

I thought I was the only one who hated those commercials.


You'd make a terrific, loving mother. ;)
Yeah, like Roseanne or Peggy Bundy or even Lois on Malcolm in the Middle (even though I don't like MITM)


I have my money on razors and/or Ovaltine.
Okay, I understand Ovaltine, but razors?

"Hey Kids! Theres another surprise in Kinder Surprize! Not only there is a toy but a Magic Code too! A password to an adventure on the internet!"

Problem 1: When the kid falls into the car with the bears the girl bear is like dead-looking-while the graphics suck so bad.

Problem 2: Rhino, I mean what the heck! BAD GRAPHICS!

Remember those damn 80's old CD commercials that used to come on YTV?

Problem 1: They came on EVERY DAMN COMMERCIAL BREAK!

Problem 2: They had 2 commercials, they kept on rotating. They're irking me soo bad now!

Problem 3: "The futre's so bright, I GOTTA WEAR SHADES!"

What I gotta say about this commercial: "The futre's so bright, I PEED IN MAH PANTS!"

Barbie (I won't even copyright sign!)

Problem 1: In the newest commercial for Zellers Mikey from TMNTand Barbie are talking. They made Barbie sound like one of those "Whatevr!" girls.

What I gotta say about this is: "Whatevr!"

Diva

Problem 1: Big heads, small bodies.

What I got to say is: "Small brains, big heads"

Brats!

Problem 1: Getting too"tweenish-teen-promish-girls 8-12-damnits"

What commercial was that? Is that on in another country. I don't remember seeing it here.

I'm shocked no one's mentioned this: there's this virtual pet toy commercial and the tagline is "Now your friends on the Internet are your friends in real life" or something to that extent. I don't wanna know what that's supposed to mean.

Ah, the Neopets. See, online, there's this entire fandom devoted to these critters. It's like an interactive, much cooler version of the Tamogotchi. They have their own little world, various species, games, storylines and stuff. You take care of 'em in your computer.
Recently, they've become so popular that the company's started making plushies, various other toys, and the virtual pets.

I just mentioned this I don't think anyone has talked about this Fruit by the Foot commercial.

"I just won $10,000. Bling bling! *moonwalks*"

I remember a continuity error in that commercial. The kid goes upstairs & you can see he's wearing shoes but a few seconds later (when he does the moonwalk), he is only wearing socks & the shoes are nowhere to be seen.

One word repeated four times: BURRITOS! BURRITOS! BURRITOS! BURRITOS!

- Any Christian commercial by Time Life, including "Worship Together", "Veggie Tales", etc. I myself am a Christian, but I honestly find these commercials so saccharine and nauseating. Sure, other Time Life commercials are just as bad with the excess sappiness, but putting that sappiness in a Christian product really makes it sickening.

- I don't know who made this commercial, but it's a car company. It deals with people walking on roads as if they were in cars with this annoying one-note-at-a-time piano song playing. The reason I hate it so much was because it was played during every commercial break during VH1's "I Love the 80s".

- Up here in Oklahoma we have a restaurant called Boomerang, and for the commercial they - get this - rewrote the song "Happy Days". Every mention of "Happy Days" was replaced with "Boomerang", and there were these teens who were clearly adults who were dancing...badly. But the worst part? One guy dressed to look like the Fonz gave the worst "Heeeeeeey!" impression I've ever heard. If Henry Winkler were dead, he'd rise from the grave just so he could strangle that idiot!

- Apple Jacks commercials bug the **** out of me. Some made-to-look-stupid adult asks them why they eat Apple Jacks if they don't taste like Apples. The kids pause, as if they don't know themselves, then say "We just do!" Brilliant deduction! You can't possibly eat them because they taste good?

- Also up here in Oklahoma is a car dealership called "Fowler Honda". They used to have a commercial with an overly high-pitched young girl who would call the place "Flower Honda". No joke. Hearing her voice on the radio trying to be cute was so earsplitting that I wanted to *****-slap her parents.

- Any recent Barbie commercial that tries to make the latest Barbie doll seem a lot better than it really is. Why, yes, it must be a lot of fun to blow up an inflatable chair and then decorated it with removable stickers; we can even let Barbie sit in it! Actually, you know what? Any girl doll commercial annoys me.

Sure, other Time Life commercials are just as bad with the excess sappiness, but putting that sappiness in a Christian product really makes it sickening.I agree, especially those GD Veggie Tales commercials. I mean, this is a supposedly Christian cartoon and, correct me if I'm wrong, but they have these vegetables that are phallic symbols (cucumbers, celery, asparagus). On top of that, it doesn't look that entertaining (It would if the vegetables were thrown in a Cuisinart and served on a bed of Chinese fried rice). If I had kids, I wouldn't get the videos, no matter how much they begged me.

It's some commercial I hear on the radio sometimes. I think it's for a Mexican restauraunt.

Another sucky commercial is this one about MTV2 where these guys in black suits (I think they were deliverymen) throw a TV into someone's house and plugs it in. Then the commercial ends with "Now stop askin' where the music videos are". While I don't like music videos that much, that still is an arrogant commercial.
