Updated thread - What TV commercial gets on your nerves?

I'm too lazy to read through this entire thread, but did anybody mention those Progressive commercials about them comparing the rates for you.

Then the middle-aged guy says something along the lines of, "If they are this helpful when you are shopping for insurance, imagine how helpful they will be when you are a customer."

Um, a lot less, because they ALREADY HAVE YOUR MONEY AND NO LONGER GIVE A DAMN! Once you buy the insurance, their entire goal becomes doing everything possible to avoid paying up if you file a claim.

Yeah, those bug me a little....

 

The bowl commercials I'm getting sick of are those "It's the mirrors" ones. That little girl is creepy. She and Haley Joel Osmet should have a kid, and it would be the reincarnation of Christopher Walken in creepiness.

 

That girl sends shivers down my spine... then what's with the elephant in the meadow? Or the — what looks like a UPS guy — as her, that same elephant and this dude stand in the middle of the Rogers Centre in Toronto?

How about the "It's the mirrors" girl with the "Zoom, Zoom" kid? Now that's an offspring that would be creepy.

 

Every time I go to a restaurant, and the waiter asks what I'll be having I say:

"I'll have the roast duck with the mango salsa."

Oddly, I'm the only one at my table that thinks that's funny.


Oh and those commercials where those women get cars with bows on them? If I saw a car in my neighborhood with a bow on it on Christmas morning I'd go up to the house, ring the doorbell and kick the husband in the nuts when he answered.

Somehow, though, I imagine all the ad execs at our paper doing that for their wives.

 

If it's a Lexus, yes. If it's a 1998 Buick...just leave it alone, dude.

 

True. On my salary, I'll probably never live in a neighborhood where a husband can afford to buy his wife a car with a bow on it, so I shouldn't worry about it.

 

"Look baby! I got you a 1994 Lincoln Continental! It only has 89,000 miles and, just as soon as we get these leaking air struts fixed, it'll be like new!"

 

I don't know if it's been mentioned here... but the fathead commerical with Roethlisberger.

"I've got a fat, FAT head."

"Take those posters, get 'em off the wall, put ol' fathead."

"Hell-ooooo? Out there in TV land??"

AGGGHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!! :-X :-[

 

Those damned soup commercials where the guy gets soooooo wrapped up in sucking down his soup that he falls over backwards. Drives me insane.

 

"Nooooo, Dad got hosed ... "

That commercial drives me up a wall. Thanks for getting into the spirit of the season, Dad. Way to think about others. You have a job. Go get you a damn cell phone, douche monger.

 

And you get a really fat head, Ben, when you ram into the front of a car.

 

Sportschick mentioned it and she's absolutely correct. The one where the guy puts the soup to his mouth and falls over stinks. It makes me want to throw my soup at the TV.
