What commercials really piss you off to no end, that even if you really wanted to see the TV show, you sometimes change the channel because of the damn commercial.

At the moment, its these damn Chicken Select commercials that my hatred is only increased by the damn I'm Loving It campaign.

Vent and let the hate out here.

 

[Archaix]

When I see an eBay ad, I shut off my television and go do something else. I only change the channel for others, such as McDonald's, Saturn(What's the Catch?), just about anything with a jingle, local commercials(the low budget ones that are different everywhere but equally bad), well...just about all commercials aside from some Volkswagon commercials and anything by the Guiness company (Guiness and Red Stripe beers). I very much hate almost all commercials on television these days.

 

[Felidae_Khrall]

Let's veer the thread in a bit of a new direction.

Post the commercial you hate the most, and your favourite too.


Worst: God.. there's so many bad ones it's hard to choose. But one specific one.... hmmm Ah! The McDeal commercial where the guy is looking at cars. It gives the impression that if you're eating at McDonalds you're a poor motherfucker who can't afford a Saturn or something. (Like me)

Fave: Has a mother wearing an orange shirt behind glass, telling her daughter she doesn't know when she'll see her again. Turns out she's in the bathtub behind the glass door. "I love you mommy!" "I Love you too sweetie" They're so serious it's hilarious. Great commercial.

 

[Orin GA]

The new Skittles commericals. Wtf? And for those of you in florida, the florida lotto commercials with the stand up comedian..

 

[MIMIC]

Hate: That stupid McDonald's commercial where the two guys have a "McDonald's party." WTF??

Love: That Nike commercial where all the girls practicing tennis transform into Serena Williams to impress their tennis instructor.

 

[Stele]

I love the new Budweiser Olympic commercials.

 

[ZootedGranny]

Any time the commercial for that show "Lost" comes on, I start to embrace death.

Girl in commercial: "Did anybody just say that?"

Me: "Wait, obviously someone just..." *loads gun*

 

[Goreomedy]

Hate: The JC Penney "Rock Ya Body" spot with the urban Bobblehead. That CG monstrosity creeps me the fuck out.

Love: Coca-Cola commercial with Sharlene Hector singing "I Wish I Knew How It Would
Feel To Be Free". Beautiful voice.

 

[Meier]

The new Skittles commericals. Wtf? And for those of you in florida, the florida lotto commercials with the stand up comedian..

Oh god.. the one with that terrible voice? Like the coffee talk sounding lady? So annoying!

One I HATE is the "Wanta Fanta" one in the movie theatres.. not sure if it's on TV or not yet.

 

[FortNinety]

Nice to see so much McDonald's ad hate. Count me in too. Oh, and for the series of Six Flaggs commercials. That "Mr. Six" is both creepy and annoying as fuck.

 

[impirius]

Enzyte - It's almost enough to make me stop whistling.

Viagra - The new "devil horns" commercial... lame.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Any Mcdonald's one.

 

[Coin Return]

the one where the guys bring McDonalds to the party and the mood of it all is like "yeah!! lets get this party started with some mickey d's!!!"

 

[Gorgie]

I really hate the skittles commercial where the Granny starts rapping. I flinch everytime that commercial airs.

 

[gblues]

Yikes, those are some crappy commercials, but I do have good news.

I just saved a ton of money by switching to Geiko.

I would love to see some crafty speech writer slip that line into a Bush speech.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

I hate those Ruffles has rrrrridges commercials. I HATE THAT GAY BABY I WANT TO KILL IT

On a seperate note, the Fanta Fantanas commercial is GODLY. I love that little jingle

You look hot in all that plaster, drink some Fanta, FASTER FASTER

 

[Dyne]

I hate every McDonalds commercial, but especially the latest one with the new chicken product. "It doesn't come with a toy."

I hate everything about that commercial! The music, the acting, ugh.

 

[Alex Anderson]

The Atlanta Braves commercial with the rapper dropping a rhyme to the "Oooooh-oooh-oooooh" chant, and Marcus Giles looking like the world's biggest buck-toothed doofus doing the chop.

CortiSlim ads where Dr. Greg Whosajerk talks down to fat people like they should be ashamed of themselves. Each commercial starts off with him making the person feel guilty for their appearance.

I hate that "The Lost" commercial as well. I don't want to see people being sucked out of an airplane.

Any commercial with alarm clocks.

The Snickers commercial with a guy in a waiting room going "OOOOOOOOOOOOOH YEAAAAAAAAAAAH. AWWWWWWWWWW. UNBE*LIEVE*ABLE!!!!!!" Then it turns out he isn't even getting his massage yet. Or having sex!

A FOCUS AND A DELL. A FOCUS AND A DELL. YOU'LL GO FAR BLAH BLAH BLAH WITH A FOCUS AND A DELL. A NO CHARGE DELL PC. A NO CHARGE DELL PC.

 

[Particle Physicist]

I very much hate almost all commercials on television these days.

same here..

the few ones that i like are the M&Ms one.. and nike commercials.. expecially the Lance A. one.

 

[IAmtheFMan]

Any 1-800-Safe Auto commercial.

 

[FoneBone]

That fucking Pizza Hut ad with the "sassy" black grandmother.
"WE'RE NOT DONE RIPPIN' AND DIPPIN' YET!'"

 

[Ferrio]

The mobile phone commercial with the two grannies "WHERE YOU AT?!?!"

 

[BlackMage]

I hate those local car dealership commercials. They are always so cheesey.

 

[StoOgE]

Four Words:

Rip, Slip, Brush, Ahhh.

 

[MIMIC]

The mobile phone commercial with the two grannies "WHERE YOU AT?!?!"

LOL....that's one of the "I really don't like it, but it's still funny to me" commercials.

Four Words:

Rip, Slip, Brush, Ahhh.

Same with this one.

 

[Dan]

Four Words:

Rip, Slip, Brush, Ahhh.

Haha, god I hate that one. In fact, I think I hate almost all of these new alternative dental care ads. Especially those White Strip ones (I think) where the woman's all smiley and all her friends assume she's "glowing" because she's in love, aka having amazing sex. They're annoying, and on top of that I'd assume women would be insulted at the notion that the only reason one would have a good smile is if they're being banged by some guy every night.

 

[FoneBone]

Four Words:

Rip, Slip, Brush, Ahhh.

Oh, god. Yeah, that sucks, too.

 

[Orin GA]

GO PEPTO BISMOL!

 

[Goreomedy]

GO PEPTO BISMOL!

The Pepto dance is actually kind of cute.

Those Oral B Brush Up ads, though. I have to agree. It's the "Ahhhh" coupled with that obnoxious back-and-to-the-right dance strut that just makes me think evil thoughts.

 

[Vlad]

One that's really been getting under my skin one is the "mowing the lawn" Old Navy commercial...

 

[RevenantKioku]

Yeah those Old Navy ones are bad. Its either supposed to be sarcasm or its just really bad acting, and I'm pretty sure its not sarcasm.

A friend came up with a theory that's holding true so far.

The less speaking in a commercial, the better it is.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

Darn! Lost another loan to Ditech!

 

[Son of Godzilla]

I hate the new M&Ms commercial, but only because the last one was so good. By contrast, the old Geikos sucked ass but the new ones I like.

Fanta is just awesome though.

And of course anyone remotely involved in any of the Enzyte/Cialis/Pheminine Product ads needs die.

Oh and whatever that ad is with David Spade going NONONONONONO. It's horrible.

 

[Mike Works]

 

[MIMIC]

By contrast, the old Geikos sucked ass but the new ones I like.

I like the hairloss one. It totally caught me off guard.
