Updated thread - What TV commercial gets on your nerves?

The Aleve ads that enhance the sounds of people like a real estate agent, golf teacher and airplane mechanic glugging beverages while swallowing other painkillers are gross.

In other words, if you take Aleve, you won't make pig noises while ingesting the pills.

 

Progressive insurance commercials. All of them.

 

The USAA ads, not because they're annoying, but because it seems to be the only ad shown on NBC Sports Network and I watched a lot of it during the Olympics and watch a ton of hockey. It's on at least every other commercial break, if not every one.

 

WHY did they fucking bring back Flo-bot? WHY WHY WHY?!

Can't they send Flo to the same place that the Geico Cavemen have gone?

 

Olive Garden spot with "Neverending Love Song" by Delaney, Bonnie and Friends. Came up four times in one hour on (IIRC) MLB Network yesterday. Instant loser.

 

The GoldmanSachs Elevator twitter had a good one:

I'd so pay to watch the All-State Mayhem guy grudge fuck Flo.

 

I'd like to punch the sucker who came up with Target's back to school ad campaign. Good God, those commercials are fucking awful. I've seen/heard the same two or three commercials while watching shows on USA tonight. When will it end?

 

YOU WILL SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND YOU WILL LIKE IT.

Unless you're SPECIFICALLY talking about this year's, and not the genius that was last year's campaign on the same concept.

 

No. I'm talking about this year's. Last year's, I thought, was pretty good.

 

1. The bearded, dancing baby. I'll go gray before I ever buy that product. I'm a guy. You're trying to advertise to me. I don't want to see cutesy babies. I don't even like kids.

2. Heineken. Any of these new, pretensious ones trying to show how hip these folks are for drinking a beer. Lots of adults drink beer. It's not a social taboo (unless you're a fall-down drunk or multiple-DUI offender). Let's all grow up.

3. Promos for Big Brother. I hate that show. I hate the lady host. I hate hearing about it.

4. Any vehicle commercial that depicts the salespeople as human beings. It's just not true.

 

The bearded dancing baby is one of the worst I've seen in a long time. Cringe-worthy.

I also can't stand the marshmallow vodka ones with the bitch who is deciding whether she will take the limo or the private jet for her night of drinking. Then it says to drink responsibly. I'm pretty sure there would be a lot fewer DUIs if everyone had access to a fucking limo or a jet.

Bring back the mini giraffe!
