Those Lipton Ice Tea commerials with the evil looking snowman. That snowman is just plain old creepy.
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?![]()
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.
"Leaping Lanny and Randy Savage are brothers, and Randy Savage, your name is Randy Poffo. THAT'S RIGHT, RANDY POFFO. You're ashamed of going around calling yourself Poffo so you probably got the name Savage because you're ashamed of putting yourself on the same level as your brother because he is much better than you are. YOUR BROTHER IS A HUMAN BEING. YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A SCUMBAG. THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE; YOU'RE A DOG. YOUR NAME IS POFFO." - Ronnie Garvin to Randy Savage, ICW Wrestling, 1980.

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.

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

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+:
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.

"The advance is hip right now, but the original has a place in my heart, unlike pocket which only had the plastic grey, though color had killer appies for things like the sewing machine, not much use for virtual anymore, huh."
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
Me and my sister both hate that commercial!!!!!!!Originally Posted by Meow
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.![]()
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.

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.)

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.Originally Posted by Lucky Bob

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

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
I feel that a big problem with today's society is that we don't listen to our fellow man -- especially when I'm talking.

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?

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.![]()
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?)

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.
