What commercials really bug the shit out of you lately?

For me, it's those Chrysler/Lee Iacocca (sp.?) commercials, especially the one with him and his granddaughter.

First of all, they show the commercials constantly, sometimes twice in a row. Secondly, it annoys me how Lee sits there with the newspaper in front of his face (or in the other one, with his back turned), like he's this huge celebrity and it's some massive surprise that he's in the commercial. And that granddaughter's imitation of him is stupid. "If you can find a better car, buy it".

These are those commercials that are on in the morning, while watching stellar shows such as Jerry Springer or Judge Mathis...

There's a cable company commercial with this kid who says, "Dad, the cable's out again, can you FIX IT?" The way he says can you fix it pisses me off.

i haven't watched regular tv in so long (thank goodness for netflix) that the last commercial i remember getting on my nerves was that aspirin commercial where the woman walks into an office and some really gay guy says "OOOH, you don't LOOK so good!" it annoyed my roommates and i so much that we'd greet each other with that line whenever we'd wake up with a hangover and stumble out into the kitchen.

"Where's the beef"....commercials always got on my nerves...

The commercial for the car ad.. where you have that ANNOYING little girl saying.... "Like you always use to say Grandpa, if you can find a better car buy it"!!!

I wanna scream everytime i see it! ANd i just wanna slap that annoying lil kid!

Any Subway commercial!!!

That's the one I hate! It's Lee Iacocca's granddaughter.

I have to admit, I do get a little worried that I have such a strong reaction (repulsion, irritation) to something like that. What's wrong with me?!

I hate any commercials with kids in them. So many companies rely on conservatism and family values 2 sell their product, so they put kids in there as a "cuteness" sort of thing. All it does is annoy me, among many others.

That Capitol One commercial with the superheroes, and that ANNOYING lady screaming at the top of her lungs "Somebody help me!!!".

Actually, I've noticed quite a few commercials lately where they have someone screaming real loud, or some other really jarring noises (like the Emeril commercial where he's banging on the pots and pans). I am constantly having to adjust the volume on my TV when I see them coming.

I actually like that commercial. By that I mean I love Spiderman's ass in that commercial. I just don't like the way he says "....charges...."

I agree on the comment about kids in commercials, the girls always look like they're going to audition for ANNIE.

Any Geico commercial...they are becoming to be like and

They were really cute at first but it's played out like the Energizer Bunny.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Yeah, he does sound MIGHTY camp when saying that. First time i saw that i thought he was gonna say "charges....GUUUUURRRRRLLLLL " I can't stand that fucking Direct TV commercial when the black guy on there says " AND IT WAS CHEAPER THAN CABLE" and makes this "motion" with his body like "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? CAN'T YOU SEE THIS IS BETTER THAN CABLE???" Like by the time they get to him in the commercial, the other people haven't already beaten the point into your damn head. It's like that fucking Jill Scott song 'LIVING MY LIFE LIKE IT'S GOLDEN, LIVING MY LIKE LIKE IT'S GOLDEN, LIVING MY LIFE LIKE IT'S GOLDEN, LIVING MY LIFE LIKE IT'S GOLDEN" Like by the 4th or so time, you get the fucking point without her having to beat it into your subconscience. I am SO glad i don't have cable. And NBC repeats commercials without mercy.

Recently i'm cool with commercials... but the worst commercial ever has to be crazy frog! itwas on like 100000 times an hour thank DAYUM that's over. BTW i hate any adverts that try to be funny andjust aren't... for example: "More Than Car Insurance"

BTW those esure ads suck big time! :disgust:

All of the recent Dairy Queen commercials....their writers should be tied up and forced to listen to their annoying crap for weeks on end as punishment

Ironically non-annoying commericial:

Anyone see those Juicy Fruit commercials with the guy playing the 80s jingle on his acoustic guitar...

Juicy Fruit, is gonna move ya


Someone always ends up smashing his guitar, but I really don't find him all that annoying.

CinisterCee said:

I love the old Juicy Fruit jingle!

I know all the words too.

There's an ad for a local mattress store that pisses me off to no end. I think it's the owner's daughter in the commercial, but there's no excuse.

Mattress-Mattress! The store that saves you MONEY! *giddy squeal*

OH MY GOD.....I thought they were only shitty ass local South Carolina commericals. God, that's some awful acting by that boy. Nobody talks to their Dad like that. Judge Mathis rocks, btw. I don't even attempt to watch Jerry anymore though

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Why does Direct TV have the shittiest commercials? And you can just feel the spit when that boy talks.

I hate commercials.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

that little brat jerks his head when he says that, and I want to punch him.
