Updated thread - What TV commercial gets on your nerves?

I can't stand the Comcast commercials. That stupid, monotone singing sends me into a rage. I don't know if it's my ADD or what, but I can't stand even a few seconds of those train wrecks.

 

I think it's a form of hypnosis.. otherwise, why would you use a monotone that NO ONE can listen to for your commercials.. I mute those babies...

 

I'm really tired of Howie Long suggesting that anyone who doesn't drive a Chevy truck - "how's that man-step," "real trucker's truck... you know, for truckers" is something less than a full-blooded man and should probably just wear a dress and carry a purse.
We get it... Chevys are manly.

 

Still better than Denis Leary and all the words on the screen. I wonder if those are closed captioned.

 

I'm f-ing tired of the cell phone commercial -- can't remember which company (which proves just how great an ad this is) -- with the little girl giving her dad his briefcase as he leaves and having snuck her teddy bear into it. Then dad sends home cell phone picks of the bear in different places on his business trip.

It's not that there's really anything wrong with the ad other than the stupid song getting stuck in my head, it's just that I see it about 12 times a day, and I don't watch enough TV to see anything 12 times a day.

 

I actually like this one. It's clever.

I like that one too, but it's been in pretty heavy rotation, so I'll be sick of it soon.

 

I also don't see where it's good for business to use your advertising budget to point out features of your competitors' product that you don't have in yours.

 

There's another version about Scott rubbing him with a shammy (we both enjoyed that).

 

Any commercials for insurance. Because I hate insurance.

 

That one is played too often, but I think it's sweet.

 

In the deleted scenes, the oven is shown smoking a cigarette after the sandwich is done cooking ...

 

Here's one thing that bugs me about that commercial (and proof, according to my wife, that I am a lunatic):

You know how in that commercial they have the stuff in the background symbolizing the escalating bars of your cell phone signal (telephone polls, trees, etc.)? In that one, one of the shots has loaves of french bread sticking out of a grocery bag.

We've established that the dad's out of town, and it's just the two of them -- what the fuck do they need with five loaves of french bread?
