What commercials annoy you?

Me - the "turn the tub around" ones from I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. We use SmartBalance butter but even if we didn't, I wouldn't buy ICBINB just because of their stupid commercials.

Baskin RObbins Ice Cream cake.. the one with the little Rap/Techno song. It makes me stabby.

AAANNNDDDD the relacore commercial:
Why did your last diet fail? Stress increases cortisol. Cortisol causes belly fat. Relacore reduces Cortisol. YOU NEED RELACORE!!!

The subway commercials

The new Taco Bell commerical where the guy ask for another cashier.

The McD commerical where the guy is an a$$hole because he hasn't had his coffee. There is no reason to be a jerk!

There is a local commerical here where a church says, "Take your kids to church, They need and deserve it!" I hate HATE this commercial.

Mrs.B6302007 · January 2010

Icecream and cake and cake!

Do the icecream and cake....

SOrry, couldn't resist.

I hate subway commercials too. I also really super hate commercials where kids sing or shout a phrase - no specific company I just cringe whenever I hear kids singing.

I also generally hate all cash for gold/pawn shop commercials.

[Deleted User] · January 2010

All of the snuggie commercials especially the new kid's snuggie one.

The Swiffer commercial where the mop hides in the bushes.

Any local car commercial where the announcer screams at you.

The new BK one with the man-baby. It's so stupid, and every time I see it, I pray to have those 45 seconds back.

I hate the commercial where the car runs over the pothole and the pothole talks to the driver. So annoying!

My mom loves this commercial. She laughs hysterically every time it's on. Bless her heart.

I pretty much hate all commercials, but really, nothing beats the creepitude of the Charmin bears. You know, the ones who are always so concerned about whether their butts are clean. In addition to being annoying, they just make me... uncomfortable.

salt78 · January 2010

I HATE Flo from the Progressive commercial.

crfische · January 2010

I LOVE the talking pothole, and junk!

AdeleDazeem · January 2010

Yes, Sarah!! I hate those charmin bears, too.

Please don't show bums with toilet paper all over them. It's yucky. I know you think it's cute because they are fluffy, cartoon bears... but really, it's still gross. And we ALL know it.

AlexiaANDRobert · January 2010

Where the guy suggests getting your wife/sister/mother a pap smear as a Christmas present. I doubt it's still on the air, but it was quite popular in November/December!

REALLY?!?!? Cause I can't just call the doctor and schedule my own?!?!

Oh, I love the pothole one. Cause the voice cracks me up and H's imitation of it is hilarious.

SnShne322 · January 2010

It's a local one, but I HATE the commercials for Bernie & Phyls furniture. They've had a promotion for a year that they give you a free TV with your purchase. The kids just took over the business so the tag line is "Don't tell Bernie!" (the dad) and then Bernie comes in and says, "Don't tell me what??" SO annoying. There are reasons why they hire actors for commercials.

SwedishChick2011 · January 2010

I hate the salad mix commercials (Dole maybe?) where the guy knows everything about salad, and then he catches this swordfish in the middle of the grocery store. So stupid.

[Deleted User] · January 2010

beef hot links. i said-a beef hot links.

:donkey punch:

[Deleted User] · January 2010

also, the current american idol commercial, where at the end, kara gets out of a limo and shouts something typically obnoxious of her. makes me cringe every time.

goheels05 · January 2010

Haha Cew, I love the Swiffer commercials with the sad mop.

I hate the new Lexus SUV commercial where the mom is driving and avoiding all these hazzards like she is in an action movie. Women do not drive like that; most women suck at driving under normal conditionsl, let alone when there are pot holes blowing up and wrecks happening right in front of them.

The other two I hate are radio commercials. One is a local car commercial, and they can only get away with it here in West Bumblefuck, NC because it is so racist. It's a Chevy dealership and they talk about they have lots of used foreign cars, too, and they say each of the foreign cars names in a stereotypical fake accent. It's so offensive.

The other one is a commercial for either tax software or some tax help website, and the announcer says "FIRE YOUR ACCOUNTANT!" Um, your accountant doesn't giveashit about your piddly little tax return with a single W-2 and a standard deduction. If that's what your tax return is, you are LAZY if you are not doing it yourself. CPAs aren't making 6 figure incomes because they are doing single W-2 returns that take them 15 minutes a piece.

KentuckyKate · January 2010

The AT&T commercial with all the dinging. I always think someone's at the door.

A local furniture store in Lexington. The owner uses his mentally handicapped children in the commercial. Their hair is all messy, the little boy has drool all over his face and the little girl is holding a kitten in a death grip. They each say something completely incomprehensible at the end. It is total exploitation IMO.

YES THANK YOU. I saw this and was like, oh Karen Walker... Plus, what's up with the soft porn lighting?

I also really super hate commercials where kids sing or shout a phrase - no specific company I just cringe whenever I hear kids singing.

Did you catch that one during the holidays for Gap kids? It had a bunch of little girls dressed up in pretentious Gap tights and scarves, etc., singing and screaming "I love my comfy sweater, I love my comfy sweater... How cute, are these boots?! How cute, are these boots?!" It made me want to hurt someone.

It's a local one, but I HATE the commercials for Bernie & Phyls furniture.

Me too. The song bugs me too. Quality, comfort and price, that's nice! That and the Empire Carpet and Flooring jingle.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: What commercials annoy you? : Seriously. It also made me not want to have kids, which is probably what the Devil would want. The new AT&T commercials with Luke Wilson don't annoy me so much as baffle me. When H and I first saw them we were like "OMG who ate Luke Wilson?" He does not look well these days.
Posted by beatlesgirl25[/QUOTE]

I <strong>just</strong> watched an AT&T commercial and every time I see one I think the same.

He's just so swollen.

Right? Except it's weird because his body's not really fat, just his face. It's creepy, and I usually think of Luke Wilson as quite handsome.

YES. It makes my dogs bark every time.

Re: Luke Wilson, every time those commercials come on, I turn to Mr. Heels and tell him he's really let himself go. Teehee.
