Which commercials annoy you the most?

Recommended Posts

Geico, Allstate, Travelers, Education Connection, eXtenze, esurance, viagra, visa, bank of america...

And then there are the 500 different drugs pushed by big pharmaceutical companies that shut down your liver, kidneys, causes cancer, gives you diarrhea, causes abdominal pain, causes nausea, causes infections, gives you glaucoma, and makes you bleed out of your eyes/ears/anus, makes your fingernails fall off and your teeth fall out... But it does clear up that stuffy nose..... :S

In fact, all commercials annoy me! Why do we pay 100 bucks a month to sit and watch 3 minutes of TV followed by 7 minutes of commercials followed by another three minutes of TV??

DVR is the only way... :P

any sort of negative ad campaign... such as the new "iDont Droid Does" comercial, or the Mac vs PC comercials (the smug "I'm so much better because I'm a Mac guy" annoys me...)

and as for your poll options I couldn't really decide which I liked the least... cause all of them suck... :D

1 - lawn mower commercial - the riding mower ad showing some fat city guy driving a huge rider over a tiny lawn

2 - my wife hates the one for the clicky sharpie where the baby cries when you put it down. PUT THE BABY DOWN.

Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

You forgot the ones that are for products that clearly don't work.

Weight loss "miracle" products, "Natural Male Enhancement", that sort of crap.

They all have the disclaimer "This product has not been tested or approved....">:(
They're all a bunch of snake oil. But they must work or they wouldn't keep airing them:S

Which is why I watch TV with remove in hand, mute button at the ready! I've watched many commercials since, but have heard few. It's a fun game too: Guess what we're trying to sell you! Sometimes it's too easy, & sometimes it's a total mystery! :D

ALL the Free Credit Report .com Commerciels...but don;t see that in the poll... Unless it is included in the 3rd choice..



Those, & the "celebrity/real people" Gieco commercials are among my top-5 "most annoying" picks. Little Richard screaming like an idiot was sad, & depressing, plus I couldn't help think that most of the rest of those "celebrities" must have been pretty damn desperate if they were doing those commercials.
