Commercials I hate or once hated.

[Steely Dan]

I hate the "Baby Come Back" mop commercials and I don't understand why Glade has a pathological liar for their spokes woman.

 

I guess my all time least favorite was the Wisk commercials that ended in "Those dirty rings"

[ans4e64]

I have so many.... that I can't think of right now haha.

 

Oh, got one. Those stupid "its my money, and I need it now!" commercials. I really can't stand those.

That reminds me of this

Rocky Mozell......International Star Registry. That and the Chia Pet one. Money well spent...

[/dev/null]

Any commercials involving Barack Obama, John McCain, Sarah Palin, Joe Biden, George W Bush, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, or local Congress Critter Candidates

 

Oh hey look, there's one now. Oh my, that music is creepy. It makes me think Obama is the son of satan and likes to drink babies blood. Whew, the music changed is more uplifting now, McCain/Palin must have slain the dragon or something

Political ads are soooooo annoying and they seem to be every other commercial as the election nears. My mute button gets a workout during election season.

I hate all commercials! I wish advertisers would stop trying to sell me sh-- I do not need. I went without a TV for 3 months and got cable so I can watch football. Besides football, I was not missing much

Some commercials are funny. The E-Trade baby is really funny.

Ehhh, I can't stand the E-Trade baby, dump him.

 

Also please trash the caveman Geico commercials, and the "Hi, I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC." commercials. They were funny at first, but they have worn out their welcome.

Agree on all points, with one minor semantic difference...

 

The Geico caveman was never funny. That lizard thing got old a long time ago too

[PastaJoe]

Any of the erectile dysfuncition commercials. Who are all these guys that can't get it up? And we really don't need our wives seeing romantic commericials when we're trying to watch football, it just reminds them to be mad at us for paying attention to football instead of them.

During the Alfred Hitchock show many years ago Alfred said this one time. (paraphrasing)

 

I had an uncle who would invite me to dinner when I was a young man. He always took me to the restaurants I wanted to go to. His stories were long and boring but I listened to them with close attention because he was paying for the dinner. We'll be back after these commercials.

 

Kinda sums it up well.

C'mon, don't be such a dick. There's no reason to be so hard on them. If you don't like them pour yourself a stiff one and they'll become harder to criticize. You shouldn't be so cocksure about your attitude on these commercials. Personally I think the men who appear in these commercials are pretty ballsy. How would you like all of the nuts on the street coming up to you and making some sort of dorky joke? They would probably keep coming for a long time and you'd wish you could just jump off a bridge into a river or chasm.

The state of TV commercial quality ebbs and flows. Sometimes there are a bunch of really good ads on, and other times (like now) there seems to be nothing but terrible/annoying ads. There are far too many awful ads to mention them all, but here are a few that really blow:

 

ALL Freecreditreport.com ads. Nothing like a dorky white guy "rapping" out an ad, is there? The worst may be the one where he married his Dream Girl (he married his dream girl), and now he's pissed because she has bad credit. Really? You wish you hadn't married you Dream Girl (your dream girl) because of her credit history? The hot chick even looks like she is doing his laundry while he sings his complaint and wishes he'd remained single because he'd " e a happy bachelor with a dog and a yard". Yup, this broad should dump dorky's ass. May be dog can lick Dorky's balls while he is enjoying his yard.

 

 

Previously mentioned Caveman Geico ads. Maybe they were funny for 10 minutes years ago. Maybe.

 

 

Any commercial that takes a decent song, James Brown's "I Feel Good" for example and has it remade by children or lily white women singing it totally devoid of its original song.

 

All ads that are blatant lies or deceptions. There seem to be more than ever on, right now. Have you ever seen Jillian Barberie look like she does in the before pic in the Nutra System (or whatever diet program) ad. That had to be taken either when she was pregnant, or right after she had the baby. That's it! Have yourself a baby and lose weight. Scum bags!

 

Any company whose primary ad strategy is to attack the competition. The Apple ads are reprehensible. They should just say "We used to be able to see our product on its own merits. Now we have to trash PCs." Notice the new PC ads never mention Apple?

 

Consider that Part 1.

I like the apple ads.

Ehhh, I can't stand the E-Trade baby, dump him.

 

I usually hate talking babies or smart-ass kids, but I laughed my ass off the first time I saw the e-trade baby. That is one of the only campaigns I'll actually watch.

 

The absolute worst ones are any of the pharma commercials. Talk about creepy and manipulative. And it's even worse that during football games they show the same friggin Viagra or 'I pee too much' ads over and over again.

 

 

Any of the erectile dysfuncition commercials. Who are all these guys that can't get it up?

 

Even better are the print ads for ED, which invariably include some smoking hot 30-something chick. Uh...call me crazy, but I don't think most of these guys would be having that problem if she was really waiting for him in bed.

[Bullpen]

Okay here we go:

 

The Sham-wow commercials... the "spokesperson" epitomizes grease-ball carnival merchandise hawker. Then he hits me with the broadbrush statement, "Made in Germany... you know the German's make good stuff."

 

Any commercial with Billy Mays in it, Oxy-Clean, Kaboom, Mighty Putty, etc.... Dammit quit yelling at me all the time you fuggin d-bag!!

 

Freecreditreport commercial. If I EVER see that dorky guy who raps in those commercials, I'm gonna knocking that creepy, zombie-like grin off his face.

[The Big Cat]

Vonage commercials are the absolute worst.

 

The one with the guy and the girl and the orange "wall" between them. DEAR GOD! Then there's the "customer testimony" ones. "They won't nickel and dime you...uuuh like the phone company." Give me a break!

 

I actually don't mind the cavemen commercials. The one where the two guys get off their sport bikes wearnig the leather onesies is pretty funny, IMO.

 

Can't stand the E-Trade baby.

 

Mac v PC has been running for over two years now. Time to move on- the PC response is potent and effective, IMO (though I'm a Mac user for life!).

 

Thank God there's no more Dane Cook WS promos! And THANK GOD TBS is no longer aggresively pushing Frank TV.

[Jock Sniffer]

Coors Light commercials where those 3 douche bags pretend they are at a post game press conference interviewing a coach. They weren't funny when they started doing it 5 years ago, and they aren't funny now.

[The Dean]

Quick Hit:

 

Rock Band commercial featuring AC/DC's "Let their be Rock". It is probably effective for the product. I just can't stand listening to that piece of crap song.
