What commercials annoy you the most?

[thatbigsecret]

Cialis and Viagra, the whole ED set of commercials air wayyyy too much. I saw 3 in one commercial break before..."800 million American men suffer from ED" you'd think nobody can get and keep a woody!

I know they work and I'd use them if I had to, but holy hell they play a lot of 'When the time is right!'

There was a Nestles commercial when I was a kid that was just terrible, and they ran it all the time. "N-E-S-T-L-E-S". Barf. I stopped eating Nestles candy bars after that. And of course I had to look it up and find it on youtube. Farkbarf.

Any type of political ad.

Ditto, especially the Joni Earnst ones. She has the ability to speak a lot without actually saying anything. She always lists her goals, and never says how she intends to accomplish them.

It would be easier to list the ones I don't hate. I liked the creepy E-trade baby... but they saw fit to "kill" him off. One of the worst ones has to be the State Farm commercial ("Jake from State Farm") with the annoying as fuck, nagging wife. This spot would make even Gloria Steinem change her views on domestic violence. "Oy vey! OK, in this case... I gotta give a pass."

Video game adverts. They're a massive fucking con. Every single one bears the "not actual game footage" warning across the bottom because they only show you cut scenes so it plays like a fucking movie trailer, and you have no bloody idea what the game actually looks like. I personally haven't bought a new game since the last 2D beat em up I got for my PS2 but if I was still buying games, I'd only ever buy ones I'd already played at friends' homes, because there is no fucking chance I'd risk it based solely on the advert making the game look good.

I miss honest, 90s style ads for games where you actually see Mario jumping from platform to platform or Ryu giving Ken a Shoryuken. These days you'd just see a cut scene of Mario with his hands and face down someone's u-bend while a voiceover tells you "In-a my business-a, you never know when a principessa is-a going to need a rescue-a..." and then a dramatic koopa's POV shot of his feet about to stomp on them. Or the romantic subplot cut scene of Chun-Li giving Ryu a blowie, or whatever the PG equivalent is. Kissing, I guess.

Those Sprint Framily Plan commercials.

'Oh, are we still whispering?!' The weird goth and family dance commercial creeps me out, too...

 

[John_8581]

Those GEICO and Progressive Insurance commercials. No so much the content. I'm annoyed at the frequency of them. Sometimes during a commercial break you may have them two or three times within that four minute time-frame.

What did you think of the LBJ ad with the little girl picking off the flower saying the countdown?

"LBJ?" Is that Spanish for blow job?

Major fails by Madison Av

Needs to go,

Like this fail,

 

[hedonis]

Flo, and that fucking lizard. And whatever commercial it is that comes on immediately after Glenn says "The winner of this week's faceoff spotlight challenge is..."

 

[pool_hustler]

Ads with jingles or music.

Yeah the worst for me right now is a radio jingle from a pest control company that gets played every time there's a pitching change in a Dodger game :horse:

The fucking thing is so annoying it makes me want to give myself a lobotomy.

 

[thatbigsecret]

I love Bruce Lee, but that Mazda way commercial makes me want neuter whoever is making this shit...and the song in the background? My. Living. Hell.

 

[Harley Spencer]

As much as I love puppies, there's been a surge of commercials with dogs in them that have absolutely nothing to do with dogs whatsoever. Rosco for bed bugs? What? And there's one for a medication that had dogs running around for half of it, had me thinking it was a dog med. Lutinda or something like that?

Have not seen the commercial of Rosco for bed bugs, but some pest control companies use dogs to detect bed bugs. They kind of have something to do with that at least.

 

[Ace Bandage]

Anything with fucking Flo from Progressive. I would murder that bitch in the streets with my bare hands if I saw her.

This one bugs me too, :sing: "For quality windows, siding, and doors, call 866-4FELDCO" :sing: -- Who sings their goddamn jingle twice during the same commercial? I hear this at least seven times during Cubs games on WGN.
