[Bella_Vixen]

now I hate you. LOL I have tried to get that beepbeep thing outta my head and you go and put it back in ahhhhhahhhahahahahahahah

It almost never leaves my head.

Misery loves company, you know.

I hate attorney commercials. Ours are so lame and kill brain cells.

Me too...but mine are cheesy as hell and they look like something from 1993. Gah! I also hate car dealership commercials..especially a particular dealership from back in the day (my S.Floridian CS'ers may know this) Monarch Dodge....blech.

Oh...and the Kidz Bop commercials. GAH! I can't stand how they try and edit songs on the radio to make them incredibly kiddyish. Just get the clean radio edit and you'll be okay. I mute my TV every time it comes on.

Sonics commercials...because there's none in my area and they continually torture and tantalize me with their food...same with Red Robin.

There's an ad running for Computertraining.com (went to the site once, wasn't really impressed) where the b+w image for "stuck in a low-paying, dead-end job?" is a waiter. That one cheeses Mom off to no end as the ad seems to imply that waitstaff are lazy and aren't intelligent enough to find anything better.

We have the lawyer ads as well...the biggest one around here seems to be Sokolove. I remember his commercials from the late 80's, at least then it was just him was standing in front of a full bookcase looking serious and moderately intelligent. Now it's all cheesy music, obviously staged consultation footage and "flashy" video effects that just end up looking silly...oh yeah, and his hair is worse than back then (I didn't know that was possible).

Just like the FreeCreditReport.com one that I object to so much. Grrr.....

i too hate the rollever minutes commercial the woman needs to get a grip

i HATE commercials that have to do with diets. 2 that really bug me are the whole grain cheerio one, where the husband asks if the wife is on a diet, and the other is the progresso soup diet commercial.

apparently only women diet, and only eat either ceral or soup. men eat "real food" on nutrisystem...

i dont like walgreens commercials
anything with billy mays
fcr.com commercials
sometimes geico bothers me, i liked to old gecko better, why does he have an accent?

ahhh thers more i just cant think of them right now

Don't forget the yogurt commercials...that one with Richard Simmons makes me want to shoot my TV...

From Wikipedia:

In the original commercial...he was voiced by Kelsey Grammer. In the subsequent commercials, the gecko speaks with an English (Cockney) accent, because it would be unexpected, according to Martin Agency's Steve Bassett. Jake Wood, a British actor and comedian, is the current voice of the GEICO gecko. In current commercials the gecko's accent is more working-class, perhaps in an effort to further "humanize" him.

I STILL have the beepbeep.com commercial jingle in my head!






I have to say that I liked the first 3 fcr. com commercials...and the Ren Faire one.

[Dreamstalker]

The car one was vaguely amusing (to me, anyway)the first three times....but more along the lines of "how badly out of sync will this one be?"

Another one I just saw...the Swiffer Wet Jet ones. Gah.

i like the 2nd one haha

[Dreamstalker]

I liked the first batch, this new one is just...weird.

[Jester]

YES!!!!

And again, YES! I have a new hero!

I have railed against those fucking stupid FreeCreditReport.com commercials since that first highly offensive anti-waiter one came out a while back.

Well, just tonight I discovered that some dude had actually made brilliant parodies of that first one and two others. You can find the pirate restaurant one here, and it doesn't take much poking in youtube from there to find the other two (dreamgirl and car).

If anyone knows this guy, tell him he has at least a couple free beers awaiting him in Key West!

[Misanthropical]

The ones that make me want to kill are:

The creepy looking guy selling his Dual Action Cleanse or what ever the hell it's called. Buddy, if anything looking like you are showing ever came out of my body I would be in the ER right away!

Kevin Trudeau or what ever the hell his name is. He claims to have the cure for everything including cancer and AIDS. He makes me want to beat him to death with one of his stupid books.

[sarasquirrel]

i hate sonic commercials....why?

because there are NO SONIC around here! none in new england! the closest one is in PA...

i like the commercials cuz it looks oh so good, but stop teasing us unless youre gonna build one here!

I have a new one to hate, on sheer lack of production qualifications. Last night, during the Super Bowl, they played a Pepsi commercial that was supposed to be a send up to MacGyver. Dear God, that was the single worst put together commercial I have seen in a very, very long time (and I used to watch Saturday Supercade!). The writting was wretched, the acting like a middle school production of Hamlet, and the camera work seemed to be done via half-blind sloths. I seriously hope that whoever greenlighted that piece of crap finds an empty desk waiting for him at the office this morning.
