commercials that annoy

[Bella_Vixen]

The commercial...I think it advertises some skill building school or something, I was going to write down the name but I forgot.

Anyways, the spokesdude is in his 30s or so, and for some reason, his hat is tilted. Plus he wears something like 10 different outfits in that commercial, and each one has a fucking matching hat.

ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! !

Heh I don't think it's been mentioned but the add for some gum brand bothers the hell out of me. They make a point of how "juicy" the gum is by having a woman walk up to a man sitting next to a water cooler, tweak his nose up (like a wc knob), cover his mouth with hers, and make revolting drinking noises that combined with the visual, instantly trigger my gag reflex.

Oh, and any commercial for prescription meds. Yes, please do remind me that 70% of script makers costs are derived from advertising something that you need a doctor (and pharmacist) to get. I mean according to one of them I have prostate problems and should start taking their med immediately. Only problem being my lack of a prostate due to XX chromosomes. -.-

the worlds greatest shave is comic ads the have yup side down chins talking about it. now normally they are knda silly/cool and not annoying at all but this year. we have a donald trump chin and twin chins and something about them grates my nerves.

The Progressive commercials with the checkout girl are starting to irk me quite badly. It's stuff like that that reinforces the idea to the general public that all customer service employees are morons. I mean, come on. 'Tricked out name tag', or how she wrote the 'song' she played on the new year's noisemaker. Gah! I want to punch her.

Anyone else think that Flo from the Progressive commercials looks sleazy?

Those Empire carpet ads. I'm glad I've forgotten the number. Also, Water Country ads are. the. worst. In STL we have something even worse: Raging Rivers-Its Cool when its hot!

I still remember the phone number even after moving out of the Chicago area 7 years ago. Raging River ----? Six Flags over Mid-America ride?????

"Lectric Shave". That commercial is usually back-to-back with one for Aqua Velva. I don't particularly hate the Lectric Shave one, just find it really weird with the talking stubble.

I find it disturbing that on the other message board I hang out on there's a debate on how hot she is...

Right now there is a radio spot for a local auto shop. The blasted thing airs non stop, and really drives me up the wall.
It revolves around two woman driving along, and one asks why that light is on her dash board. The other replies that she has no idea, but its been there for a while now. Then she asks if her friend has any idea. The friend laughs at the other girl as if she had just asked her the most retarded question in the history of ever, and says no, because she doesn't need to. She just has to know the phone number of this auto shop.
Why? Well because they will look at your car right away, and then "explain the problem in simple words we can actually understand."
Really? What woman with any self respect would ever go to them for service?

I KNOW EXACTLY WHO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! I hate that bastard!

It's for Everest College. "You're stuck in a dead end job, you're sitting on the couch, and your life is passing you by!"

Stupid idiot standing on the street, ranting and raving. How about not insulting prospective students, asshole? Why are you getting so mad? How do you know I'm stuck in a dead end job? Kiss my butt.

There's an ad here for this Dickies work clothes place in Jennings. The dude is supposed to be dressed up as a wizard, and even has the purple lightsaber to go along with it. It is a horrible ad.

he smacks the couch saying "THIS IS NOT YOUR FRIEND!"

....yes, yes my couch is my friend. It holds up my wee body as I watch cartoon or play video games or watch horror flicks with kettle corn in a great big bowl. It supports me when I'm sick. It curves under my weight when I'm ready to sack out after a long day spent playing in the yard. It holds my junk.

My couch is totally my friend.

And I really really hate that guy.

Irv, I feel your pain on that one.

There's an ad I hear sometimes, mostly in the morning, for a donate-your-car charity. The song they sing is just maddening. And it gets stuck in your head!

Also, the commercials for the movie Bruno. The more I see them, the less I want to see the movie (and I didn't particularly want to see it in the first place ).
