Updated thread - What TV commercial gets on your nerves?

It's not really a commercial, more a promo, but I started counting the Frank TV spots on TBS during Yankees-Indians last night, and I stopped counting when it reached 20. Give me a break. I'll tell you what they accomplished by overdoing it, I guarantee you I will never -- repeat NEVER -- watch Frank TV when it comes to the screen. I know I'm an old fogey and I don't know this Caliendo dude, but the promos look very unfunny to me and I have enough silliness to put up with without it.

 

Amen, brother. Amen.

 

Did your count of the FrankTV promos include the announcers mentioning between batters?

Joe Buck took a shot at TBS during the Seahawks-Steelers game on FOX yesterday. He was promoing the upcoming baseball coverage on FOX and mentioned the games on TBS. Then he said "Hey Troy, did you know Frank Caliendo has a new show coming out?"

 

I really despise Bud Light's "Dude!" spots.

 

I love those commercials. But my friend's and I used to talk like that all the time. It also reminds me of "Baseketball," and any reference to my generation's "Gone With The Wind" is music to my ears.

 

The ESPN basketball promo spot with the miniature heads protruding from the guy's body is flat-out disgusting. One more reason to not watch the WWL.

Maybe my two favorite lines from that movie are from special guests playing themselves:

Tim McCarver: Oh Coop, Coop. I, I know this is a heard time for you, but I'd like to get your thoughts on what happened today.
Coop: Well, Tim, today I lost the big game, and a, a dear friend. Um, I'm feeling... pretty vulnerable right now. Uh, I don't think I should be alone. I really need people to talk to. ...
Tim: It certainly does seem to be raining shit on Joe Cooper right now. On paper the Beers have the far superior team. But the outside shooting of Coop and the deadly accuracy of Doug Remer. ... What happened out there?
Remer: Ugh, well, it was a team effort, and I guess it took every player workin' together to lose this one.
Tim: Thanks, Doug. And so...
Squeak: Hey! Wanna do an interview with me?
Tim: No. So another baseketball championship is in the books. Yet another opportunity lost for the Beers.

and ...

Robert Stack: The police have pieced together numerous theories on Coop's whereabouts.
Douglas "Swish" Reemer: I have no fucking clue where the hell he is. For all I care he could be hanging by his neck in his fucking closet!
Robert Stack: Scenario One: He's hanging by his neck in his fucking closet.
Jenna Reed: You want to know where Coop is? Just look for where the most heinous, vile, horrible exploitation of children takes place.
Robert Stack: Scenario Two: Coop is at Disney Land.

 

I don't care what anyone thinks, that's a damn funny movie.

I also enjoy the line near the end when Stack says something like (I'm paraphrasing here) "if I was a woman ..."

 

Robert Stack: Update: the disappearance of the Milwaukee Beers baseketball star. When Joe Cooper discovered that most of the workers in the Beerswear factory were youngsters not even old enough for prostitution he personally flew to Calcutta. His new all-adult workforce now makes a decent wage, enjoys full medical benefits and in-house child care. All of us here are glad that such a terrific human being like Joe Cooper has returned. If I were a woman, I'd sure like to be his girlfriend. Walking in the park hand in hand, wrapping my legs around him, cuddling in the spoon position, our hearts beating in unison, staring into his eyes over our morning coffee. [someone splashes a cup of water on him] Ugh... yes. Heheh yes, thank you. When we come back, our next unsolved mystery: Coop's luggage. Where did it go?

Not many may have seen this, but the Verizon commercial for NHL content with the lunatic at the maternity ward is really aggravating.
