Updated thread - What TV commercial gets on your nerves?

Nice one Nike.

Using Shawne Merriman in your new football spots. You got Rodney Harrison booked for later in the season?

 

I'm sure its been said many times, but this commercial practically ruins my Sundays.

"Thisssss is ourrrrrr countryyyyyy."

 

I'm sure I'll get ripped for this because so many of you have said you enjoy them, but I am so annoyed with the glut of Geico commercials that hit me every day. ENOUGH!

(And even the cavemen are starting to bore me).

 

Any commercial where people eat fast food immediately before athletic activity, or drink carbonated beverages to refresh themselves during athletic activity.

I know beer commercials are sacred, because drinking is awesome, but these two bug me:

The one where the guy and girl are simultaneously waiting for a beer bottle label and pregnancy test, respectively, to turn blue. Why would the woman be upset that the guy is excited about the beer bottle? He's not standing there watching the pregnancy test with her?

The one where the couple pulls over and picks up the axe-wielding dude with the case of beer. Because what could you possibly need more when you are out driving on a winding road at night than alcohol?

 

I like the blue beer bottle commercial. Especially at the end when the dude says, "It's blue, like your eyes," and she yells, "My eyes are green."

 

I bring up the new Carl's Jr. "Flat Buns" commercial advertising for two reasons:

One, it's fucking stupid. And, it's on during the Angel games on Fox Sports, so I have to see this at least five or six times while watching the game.

Two, something that has amused me a little bit: When seeing the commercial during aforementioned Angel game, my Dad starts pontificating that the commercial is in bad taste because of all the news reports about teachers having affairs with their students. I shrugged that off because my Dad, while a great guy, reverts to "harrumph" status a lot, and I let him vent. However, I got to work yesterday and took a look at our paper's pending letters to the editor. One of them was some lady writing to say how offended she was by that "Flat Buns" commercial and we should all boycott Carl's Jr. because of it.

I think if you're looking at fast-food ads to find moral outrage, you're looking just a little too hard.
Me, I don't find any moral offense to it -- I just think it's fucking stupid.

 

The Skittles one with the old guy getting milked. It makes me not want to buy Skittles, which is an impressive feat.

 

Relacore! Eliminates stubborn belly fat! Relacore! Eliminates stubborn belly fat! Relacore! Eliminates stubborn belly fat!
Also, any local Kia/cheap foreign car commercials that scream at you. Drives me insane.

 

VIVA VIAGRA!!!!!!

The worse commercial for ED since the guy throwing the football through the tire in the backyard.

 

Any time you're bogarting ads from Head-On, your usefulness as an ad agency has reached its merciful end.

But suddenly, a new contender has emerged...

 

One that really bites my ass is the Hampton Inn commercial with The Romantics' "What I Like About You" blaring in the background and all the couples enjoying themselves and Hampton Inn. That song is so overused - it's even in the Esurance commercials now. Just gets on my nerves.

 

I can just see the job interview:

Boss-Man: "So why do you want to work for Tylenol?"
Johnny Begood: "Ma'am, I have long had a soft spot in my heart when I see someone close their eyes, wincing in pain, or put a hand to their forehead in agony. Headaches are hell. Fevers are a deeper pit of hell. I look at those people and say "I want to help them." This gives me that chance, and I'd do it for free. I really consider it a mission of life."
