Updated thread - What TV commercial gets on your nerves?

KevinmH9 said:
Those Progressive commercials with that women who sounds like shes on crack all the time.

If I hear the one where she's tooting her own horn again I'm going to do what Harley is to his tv if he hears the freecreditreport.com ads again.

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!"


I'm increasingly fascinated by the dude who jams along with that fish.
 
That's the other thing I don't understand, TSP -- two bearded 1970s-looking dudes, the commercial has a slight sepia tone, and they're in a garage. Somebody at the ad agency was smoking some primo bud...
 
It might have already been mentioned, as I haven't taken the time to plow through this thread, but I've about had it with the "$5.99 large pizza" Pizza Hut commercial. A large? Yes, a large. Now STFU.

I think those involved in this discussion were as well:

Or the one about the Italians who think they're eating locally-made pasta. Yeah, I really believe that one.
 
anything involving those damn cavemen and I am assuming, isn't it usually GEICO? heck if I remember. I'm just tired of those dudes. it's not funny anymore and actually never was. go away.


and please, these men they get to hype erectile dysfunction aids (Cialis, etc.), either promote the product or don't take three-quarters of the commercial telling about the side effects...fork, after hearing that you're going to lose everything from your testicles to your index finger, it's like "although you may wish to drive 110 miles per hour, having your seat beat on will prevent you from losing all of your limbs."
 
If I see the Geico "Somebody's watching me" commercial -- any of them or a new one -- one more time I'm going to shoot someone. These are the dumbest commercials in the history of TV.

I'm also sick of the Swiffer commercial where the mop or broom tries to serenade the woman into taking it back.

The newest Geico gekko commercial with the head of the company talking about trust and telling the gekko to catch him when he falls is pretty stupid as well.

Have to agree with Killic - the McDonald's Filet o Fish sandwich with the singing/rapping wall fish is beyond awful.
 
was it the DirectTV commercial that had "Hellboy" showing up next to this dude at a desk? if they ran that once during the bowl season and then during Super Bowl time, they ran it 50 zillion times...can't remember the company they were plugging, but it got dang tiresome.

I disagree...and I DISAGREE!

Hate the actual money commercials, but when that synth music kicks in, I'm happy. :D
