Dante Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Remember the Dan Creed car comercials? "If you don't buy a car from me, then shame on you!"
ExWNYer Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 My personal least favorite is Jaret from Subway. I have personally boycotted the place because of my extreme dislike of the nerd. Thanks...I forgot all about that douchebag. I officially change my vote. I wish that waste of oxygen would pull a 'Mama Cass' (for those of you too young to get that reference, do a 'Google' for Mama Cass & ham sandwich).
Wacka Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 She actually died of a heart attack in her sleep, not from choking to death. Still it was from too much food (and probably too much drugs).
stuckincincy Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 That "Sharper Image Ionic Breeze" commercial. I swear it's on 50 times a day.
Ghost of BiB Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I can't stand Mazda's "Zoom Zoom" campaign...especially that fuggingly creepy kid. 382959[/snapback] Ditto. Who the hell wants to buy a car after listening to that?
Wiz Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Thanks...I forgot all about that douchebag. I officially change my vote. I wish that waste of oxygen would pull a 'Mama Cass' (for those of you too young to get that reference, do a 'Google' for Mama Cass & ham sandwich). 382984[/snapback] The mitigating factor that makes Subway the worst is that during football, their commercials comes on at every commercial break. It's not just Jaret. I still have the "Henry, John Henry..." idiot jingle from a few years ago embedded on my mind.
TheMadCap Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Any of those ant-smoking commercials from truth.com. Makes me want to go out and buy a pack (and my dad died of lung cancer) 382944[/snapback] Surprisingly, my employer, a major US tobacco company, actually invests in these commercials! I thought the one about the execs trying to sell cigs as candy was farfetched. But actually, has anyone ever seen RJR's shameless packaging for its "flavored cigs". Talk about putting it in a kid-friendly package... My vote goes to that creepy guy for six flags or whatever...
SilverNRed Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 My vote goes to that creepy guy for six flags or whatever... 383197[/snapback] Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot-DOOT-DOOT!!!! Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot-DOOT-DOOT!!!! Arrrrrrghh, I can hear that music when I sleep!
YOOOOOO Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 C'mon now.... Those Fanta commercials have gotta be the most annoying....
Nanker Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 For me it's United Airlines. They've ruined Gershwin.
Ralonzo Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Any of those ant-smoking commercials from truth.com. Makes me want to go out and buy a pack (and my dad died of lung cancer) 382944[/snapback] Oh, I had completely forgotten. Those ads are actually paid for by tobacco companies. I had postulated a theory that those are perhaps the most brilliant reverse psychology campaign in history, since there's very little more loathesome than a snotty pretentious self-righteous teenaged git telling you what you should think about anything. STFU and don't forget my fries, is all the dealings I want with those tools. And I agree with YOO. I don't Wanta Fanta after seeing that ad, I Wanta Commit Murder.

Mark Vader Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 This is going a little ways back, but the McDonald's commercials with "Eddie the Echo", were vomit inducing.
Puhonix Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Any of those ant-smoking commercials from truth.com. Makes me want to go out and buy a pack (and my dad died of lung cancer) 382944[/snapback] The truth Ads are as bad as they can get,. After all if you were funding an ad campaign for people to stop buying your product, you'd do a shiddy job too.
Live&DieBillsFootball Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I'm surprised that no one has brought up all of the shyster ads. The worst of the lot is "Hurt in a car? Call William Mattar." At least we won't see any Cellino & Barnes ads for a few months since Cellino got suspended.
Gavin in Va Beach Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Fucillo and his "HUGE" bull sh--. True story I was driving down the road one day not too long ago and flipped between 3 different radio stations and he had a commercial on every frickin' one. Chances are there's a Fucillo commercial on TV right now, and always will be every 30 seconds. There should be a law against flooding the airwaves with stupid commercials...
eball Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 i agree with several candidates already mentioned but have my own nominee -- the entire "ING" ad campaign. first, we had the dumbass always wanting to know "WHAT DOES IT SAY?" now, there is another series of inane spots. i was reminded of this pathetic ad campaign while watching the british open this morning. i hate that friggin' company. bad ads make me want to stay away. for example, i've never purchased a roll of mentos in my life.
