Most annoying commercials? |
|
Right now, I have to say Subway commercials have the market cornered on "Horribly annoying stupid shit commercials that make me yell at my TV and want to stab out my eyes."
CocaCola commercials are usually pretty bad too. And though they do them less now, those McDonald's commercials specifically aimed at blacks are pretty god damn lame too. "Yo, let's go to MickeyD's and eat shitty food, yo! Yo!"
So which commercials make you pray for thermonuclear war?

4. I think you're confusing commercials with pornography |
|
Though I can see where you'd get confused, one is about sacrificing art and style in favor of hollow sexual voyeurism in order to seperate you from your money. The other is pornography.

5. Gee, I wish that were true. |
|
I'm talking about hamburger commercials. Soft-drink commercials.
Any commercial where you can hear those bodily noises.
Hell, I've gotten to the point to where I won't watch live TV. I tape damn near everything I want to see.

10. one of the worst is the one for steak sauce |
|
the man with the dog sitting on the floor next to him eating. The camera shows the dog lapping loudly. the dog stops eating and the sound continues. Camera cuts to the man and he is licking the plate.

8. At least they don't have Willie Nelson and Ryan Adams like the GAP |
|
But yeah, I hate all those fucking mall clothing stores that are turning America's youth into a generation of walking billboards. Why the fuck would you spend twenty bucks on a shirt that says "Abercrombie And Fitch" on it? Oh, because you're a shallow retard? Oh, ok, my mistake.

12. Most of them, but a special award goes to the "fire grilled" people |
|
They've created about 500,000 new commercials finding a new way to exploit the phrase "fire grilled", which must have cost them a pretty penny to the contractor who thought it up in the first place!

14. The latest few from Dial Soap. |
|
Swimming through some kid's pee stream in a pool--ugh. Drying off your clean body with a towel somebody else has just used to wipe off sweat--disgusting.
Also the ads from some internet ticket service that shows "their kind of people". A guy getting extra peanuts in a plane and then stealing the peanuts of the person next to him. A guy throwing his young son out of the way into a pool so the guy can dive for a quarter. I guess their kind of people are thoughtless, selfish, and greedy. That is to say, Republicans.
And I can't omit the grossest of all: Little toenail fungus creatures lifting the nail and crawling in, only to be cured by whatever product is being pushed.

16. Walmart Walmart Walmart |
|
All those folksy women finding bargains in the Walmart stores and the girls finding all their trendy clothes...too bad they don't fit after two washings. I don't believe these are not actors. But my second choice for :puke: :puke: :puke: are those Carl's Juniors ads that are supposed to be so sexy.

18. At the moment, Applebees with Tim McGraw clone liking it, loving it, & |
|
wanting more of it. Tie for 2d place goes to NYT/WSJ spots with people who REALLY REALLY need to read these papers everyday (They're national spots). However, the latest one from the WSJ leads off with a guy whose obsessive compulsion to read the Journal is so over the top that it's hysterical.
Worst commercial of all is the one for Inventec (forgive spelling) with the idiots detailing all the money they would have made if they had just patented their ideas. Straight to the "so bad it's good" hall of fame.
Most annoying commercial is a one-million-way tie between every commercial for every cable network and its programming, with an occasional exception for Comedy Central. These suck to begin with and they just play them straight into the ground.
Oh, and how could I forget Bosley Medical. "Do you think my barber will recognize me?" I don't give a rip, Dumbo. I hope they aren't paying the monkeys who come up with this crap too much.

20. that new hummer h2 commercial that uses 'happy jack'.. |
|
with the little punk-ass kid who builds a soapbox Hummer. He off-roads it straight down the hill, rather than legitimately race the other kids. The smug look on his grill pisses me off to no end. Really sums up the perceived "f*ck you.. I'm better than you" attitude of the typical H2 owner. Oh yeah.. I'm not real happy that The Who allowed them to use their work to shill that piece of krap. Friggin sell outs!!

in a Ford Focus, they're driving while drinking cups of hot coffee and all they can say is Dude.
There's a Raymour & Flanagan commercial where the daughter helps Dad who's totally computer illiterate get financing for new furniture online. When Dad asks who's paying for the furniture, she says Mom says that's your department.
