Updated thread - What TV commercial gets on your nerves?

Anyone seen the Flirty Girl Fitness ad? Not sure where I saw it, maybe one of the "music" channels, but it's hilarious. I thought it was a parody at first. At the end, they even say you can find out how to have a dancing pole installed in your home for only $1. Wonder how many took 'em up on it.
 
So apparently Chevy's new marketing tactic is "Real men don't want nice options on their pickups." Hard to understand how the General is going tits up. ::)

That came on last night while I was on the phone and I had my friend flip over to see it. Those stripper workouts work...
 
one commercial that i like now, but will probably get hold by Super Bowl time is the Howie Long Ford Truck gig where the other guy changes his voice, according to the features his truck offers. not bad right, but will likely get overdone like everything else in TV commercial land.
and today, i guess i saw the damn Ram Truck commercial 50 times. that's gotta go.
 
It's apparent that the Big Three believe that football fans are the last Americans dumb enough to fall for their cars=your testosterone level pitch.

NASCAR begins in a little over a month.
 
The next time I meet somebody named Jared, I'll punch him in the nads because of those "He went to Jared. He went to Jared!?! He went to Jared!" spots that run every forking break in football games this time of the year.

Those actually elicit a giggle from my wife. Shortly after we got engaged, one of those commercials came on and, without even looking up from the newspaper I was reading, I said, "I went to Jared. They didn't have deck."

If I'm ever on a date and the lady starts texting her friends...I slam down enough money on the table to cover the check, and I'm gone like Donkey Kong.
 
is it Verizon who has the year-long repeat of the guy with the Xmas lights outside and looking all gloomy? geez, that ran last year and i swear, the same guy with the same promotion.
 
BUMP!

Okay, I'm kinda creeped out by the new McDonald's commercial with the talking fish bitching about the guy eating a filet o' fish sammich. It's almost like it's screaming "OW, ASSHOLE! You just ripped that sandwich out of my side!"


And, for a bonus clip, here's a local commercial for Cincinnati Bell telephone in which a kid lawyers up to complain about his parents' choice of phone services. He starts whispering to female lawyer, and parents assume she's his girlfriend. Mom begins to wail -- annoying.

... of course, then the lawyer says the kid isn't getting enough "digital stimulation," which sounds to me as if the complaint is that he's not getting enough handjobs.
 
The McDonald's Nuggnuts commercials, especially now that the dumb ass beyotch called 911 three times about her McDonald's being out of Nuggets.
 
I haven't checked back in here in quite a while, but if I hear that goddamned "Free credit report.com, Baby!" one more time, I'm going to put a forkin' hatchet through the television.

It's not so much that the forkin' song is so goddamned annoying. It's a forkin' farce of false advertising and shouldn't even be allowed to run.
