But actually the MOST annoying commercials were the ones where they tell you about a drug to relieve your bladders or something and they always go "I'm straining and I felt lost, but I took this drug and I feel better!"

Those are the MOST annoying commercials to DATE!!!! Especially the ones where they actually have a doll that creepily looks like them walking slow and their backs hunched over. *shudder*

wtf!!!!

Girl I'm serious. I forgot the name of them but I run into them every now and then. It's like you're discussing a back problem, why even go through the hassle of bringing little dolls that look like you?

i'm happy that Christmas is over so i don't hear those awful Hyundai hipsters singing carols anymore.

i could live with out the Free Credit Report songs too.

AWWWW! I love those two. They're pretty talented singers who got their break on Youtube. Oh well, lol. It DID get annoying after the 900th time. I felt compelled to get a car even though we're a Nissan family. I can't stand those FCR songs either. I'm still bitter the band I voted for didn't win that stupid contest. The band they picked are kinda crappy.

I'm tired of THIS commercial right here. I love me some J-Hud and I know she's doing it for a number of reasons, but whenever I hear that first line--Sun in the skyyyyyyy, you know how I feeeel...I just twitch.

HATE IT!!!!

There are these radio commercials for The Boston Method voiced by Peter Scolari. The Boston Method is some sort of erectile dysfunction treatment.

Anyway, it's not that Scolari did a bad job - it's the editing. It's obvious the editor took several random readings and pieced them together. It's horrible! No pauses, where they should be, the timing and timbre are all wrong, and it doesn't sound human.

But I'm probably the only person that it bothers.

I heard it yesterday. I'll pay attention to it the next time it comes on.

I think you mean this depression medication commercial. That doll is creepy alright

I hate the NBA commercials where they re-edit some old college or high school footage of a current NBA star and place some idiot in there next to them as they talk about how great they're GONNA be in the future. Corny as hell.

I love this commercial

all of them.

commercials involving pharmaceuticals.

for example newly developed depression medications which have a long list of detrimental side effects even worse than the conditions they purport to treat.

Depressed?? Try FixTique *

*May cause diarrhea, bloating, constipation, incontinence, sleepwalking, violent outbursts, flatulence, loss of memory, loss of hair, drymouth, rash, weight gain, weight loss, cognitive disfunction, unctronllable drolling...... etc."

I know exactly what you mean!!!

It's become a running joke between my husband and I whenever those type of commercials come on.

those dang 'feminine hygiene' commercials and the endless doublespeak therein.

for heaven's sake, we all know what we're talking about. don't sugarcoat it with images of women running gaily on the beach in floaty white gowns while a sugary soundtrack narrates the hell out of 'those uncomfortable moments" and such.

menstruating women find that crap REALLY annoying. ok. maybe its just me. but still.

i'll say it again: NETFLIX

That Swiffer crap... it just makes me wanna listen to the full songs so I can get rid of the commercial stench they put on them.

We had those cool beaver ads - look after your beaver hahaha

I saw one this afternoon with a BRIDE getting dressed on her wedding day, worrying about "that uncomfortable feminine itch." After the product info, they showed her coming down the stairs with the groom having rice thrown at her.

Some wedding night...

Seriously?

This is the commercial I was thinking of when scrolling down the thread. It is so sick...in a funny way. It certainly got my attention and brought back shi**y diaper memories.

You get away with so much. Lucky.

This commercial tugs at my 'fro and taps on my skull. I just....ARRRGH!! I hate catchy movie teaser commercials for children like this. It's the song part that actually plays over and over and over and over and....thank GOD I have no children.

The woman is "reading" a Quantum Physics book

should we add phony on the list of misconceptions

Hate to sound like a perv but though I hate those "Free Credit Report" commercials featuring that guy who was always losing out on something because he failed to get a free credit report, I'd shag him.

That said, those commercials really did irk me though.

I got a thing for shaggy haired white guys for some reason. But this is about commercials.

I hate those have a happy period commercials with the upmost passion.

Yeah I love when people in comedy shows state the obvious about those type of commercials. They point out the fake but fakery sells in Hollywood.
