    The Geico money commercials suck ass, as does the Verizon commercial where the couple is at the car rental place. Those two running that desk creep me out all the damn time.

    That Verizon commercial needs to go. They look like members of the undead. And where the hell is this rental car kiosk anyway? It's out in the middle of NOWHERE. You need a car just to GET there, so what's the point??

    And on the same subject as the E.D. commercials....I'm sick of seeing commercials about birth control. That's something you talk about with your doctor, not something you call an 800-number about.

    On that note, I change the channel every time the Yaz or whatever girl starts talking.

    The cell phone commercial about "butt-dialing" is irritating as hell.

    Commercials anti-work on me. I actually avoid products based on how much I hate their ads. The list is too long to, well, list.

    You think?

    I think that couple needs their own TV show...great chemistry between them.

    any commercial dealing with erectile dysfunction because, to me, they get ridiculously contradictory as they progress; you've got the handsome dude who is about to get laid raving about Cialis or whatever and then he says with a shit-eating grin, "but be forewarned of the side effects: withdrawn testicles, liver disease, colo cancer within six months after being used, hoarseness, pyramid-like stools, not to mention pinkeye, pink ears and a discolored pinkie.
    "But other than that, this stuff will get you laid. In case of an erection lasting over 36 hours, the toll-free number for Ripley's is....."

    The Priolesic OTC commercial where the heartburn flame tries to run Katie off the dance floor. But Katie was smart and took her Priolesic OTC, and she can disco all night long with her fingers in the air.

    Smoking killed my mom. I think anyone who smokes is an idiot.
    But I am damn tired of those two anti-tobacco commercials. One is the grim reaper turning into a big-titted brunette handing out free smokes. The other is the cartoonish sequences where smoking was shown to be cool in the 30s and 40s leading to the skeletons falling into a pile of bones.
    Ugh.

    Another irritating commercial is the Capital One credit card promos. If I hear "what's in your wallet?" by one of those Neanderthal types one more time, I am going to scream.
    In fact, I think I will do that after I make this post.

    I would rather sit and watch a replay of MSNBC's inaugural coverage that hear than damn fish sandwich song again.
