What TV Commercials Drive You Crazy?

[johns70]

#2 on my list is any feminine hygiene commercial.
They're even worse than jock-itch or the athletes foot commercials! - :rant:

This reminds me a female standup comedian doing a bit about those not so fresh feeling commercials and saying something like - Who the hell looks over to their Mom while they're driving down the road in the car and basically says - Hey Mom, does your be*ver ever stink ? :haha

The Lollypop commercials from Dell are starting to piss me off because they are on every 5 minutes.

In the very beginning of one of those Dell computer lollipop, lollipop commercials one guy is standing up next to another guy and clipping one of his bib overall clips. Are we supposed to believe he slept in the factory all night and he getting dressed for work now ?

 

[johns70]

I hate the ones where someone says - I owed the government $50,000(or whatever) in taxes and this company got it lowered to only $5000(or whatever). Why don't they have to pay their f*cking taxes like everyone else does ? !

Maybe next year I'll claim 0 on my withholding all year and have this company fix it so I only owe $100 in taxes.

That Trudeau character who's always hawking a book he wrote on how the government doesn't want you to know "these things".

Wow!

His criminal background makes charlie look like an angel!

Time in the slammer... Hmmm... alternative love making???

Please no book on that!

Well, for me the fourth reply hit it on the head... That's my peeve lately for worst commercial.

Those Humane Society of the United States commercials really bug me. I think people who send $19 per month to support HSUS use of shock value are nutty. Showing sick and abused animals for fundraising is reprehensible...

Being cruel to people to "help animals".. Positively heinous...

Prescription drug- Ambulance chasers - Politicians

Any and all adverts for prescription drugs. In my view, should be banned, or at least limited to 10pm to 6am, local time. I think it's sad that in the middle of a "Family" program, we are insulted by erectile dysfunction and feminine itch. Talk to YOUR doctor-BLAH!
Second on the list are the ambulance chasers, you know, "Have you been injured---?"
And campaigning season, set to start in full swing soon, Too much BS and no meat.
I can hardly stand watching "live" TV anymore. Programs I want to watch, I have to record and skip the ads. Some hour long episodes amount to barely over 35 minutes.

 

[gardo403]

How about the "put a stop to your partners snoring" It's so loud, that me and the wife joke that we would rather hear each other snore all night long than the stupid commercial..

It seems to be louder that the rest of the programs on the channel and even the other commercials (discovery ch. love's this one)

How about those commercials for the tinnitus product that have the loud "simulated" tinnitus demonstration. Guaranteed to give you the condition if you don't already have it.

Cal Worthington is local to me, and over the decades I've gotten a lot of laughs out of his spots!
(I can't believe he's still alive)

......

#1 would be a local mattress guy who screams at the end of his spot:
"We'll beat any price or your mattress is FREEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee!" - - :rant:
(think about it: there'll be no free mattresses.!. )

Oh man... Sit & Sleep on the radio & TV are the worst! I grew up with "pussy cow" as well. But the one that's always on my nerves, since i watch KCAL-9 alot, is the the Mesa Garage Door guy. he's like Billy Mays, always yelling in the ad.

Daytime commercials suck too. All of them are for lawyers, insurance, and vocational. cant stand the kids ads too, like on Nick, etc. all of the jingles and all the lies they tell my stepson about winning money & free toys. lol

the anti-drugs commercial with the mulleted addict they show on This! 50x/day. He wishes he had cancer because then people would understand. Really? Very poor taste to compare innocent people with addicts who at some point made a conscious decision to wreck their lives. Makes my dad's (lost a mother and wife to cancer)blood boil so much I have to change the channel

Also any ad that blasts you with loud/overcompressed audio or tries to disguise itself as a "special news announcement"

Now, let's turn the tables on this...
What is the BEST and favorite commercials?

 

[GreatFTA]

Oh! I like this one:
The commercial showing a guy at a dining table with his girlfriend and her parents. Her father is asking the boyfriend what he think about her appetizers she made. The boyfriend was about to let out a big blast of gas and he had a really bad expression on his face...
One of those Beano commercials.

I have probably 25 different Mattress Ranch commercials on a disc gathered from the Anchorage stations a few years ago when they were in the clear

Seemed like he was on EVERY commercial break on Fox & My Network

 

[GreatFTA]

I bet they sold a lot of mattresses.
I tell ya, some of the amateur commercials are the best and funniest! FTA has a gold mine of 'em.
