Ads from the past that you hated?

1. The spastic chick doing the "dance" in the front seat of the Mitsubishi.

You know the one I mean. She's got a mechanic's cap on, and is "dancing" in the passenger seat.

Chapelle did a parody spot where she gets her ass dumped out on the kerb.

I hate that commercial with a white hot passion.

2. Where to start?

I hated the Dell Dude, the Geritol "I think I'll keep her" ad campaign, the stupid Tickle deodorant giggling girls, and a good many campaign/issue ads.

Currently, I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate the Capitol One ads with the sadistic David Spade. Can this person just please go into obscurity and never be seen on TV or in film ever again?

On edit: I also despise that ad campaign with the "Woo-Hoo" song in it. Pure, unadulterated annoyance.

I do like the reformed marauders in the Capitol One commercial, though. If only they stuck to that and not the crappy Spade spots.

3. "Hi Kids...Ed Barbarra for Furniture USA..."

On par with any ad with Paul from the Diamond Center...

4. Ford: Quality is Job #1.

I actually bought a Mercury Sable back in the early 1990's.

Fix Or Repair Daily.

Found On Road Dead.

Freaking Owner is Really Dumb.

5. "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful..."

6. "Call me Susie Chapstick!"

That dumb ad with Susie Chaffee in it came out when I was about 9 or 10. Since my name was Susie and my last name was unfortunately similar to Chapstick, that ad became the bane of my elementary school existence.

7. The Taco Bell chihuahua!

8. Here's two "I've fallen and I can't get up, where's the beef."
