Steve "......." M. says:
Two come to mind for me.
The first one that comes on all the time is the Cash4Gold commercials
The second on is the Head On commercial for the headache medicine.

This one doesn't come on anymore I don't think, but it made me so mad. The commercial was from Orkin with the big roach crawling on the screen. It was disgusting and when I first saw it, really thought a roach was on screen and I was screaming. I think they pulled it after so many people complained about it and some damaged their tv sets by throwing a shoe at the screen believing a roach was really there. Their new commercials with the mutant roaches (think back to that episode of Alf and the roach from space back in the day) freak me out and makes my skin crawl.

All of the Second Baptist commercials...especially the ones with the kids rapping. They look brainwashed and it just creeps me out! *shudder*

Since the other thread's too old to reply, I will reiterate my "Just for Men" hatred.
http://www.youtube.com...There's also that newer one with the teen girl who's assuring her dad he'll do great at the job interview, and slips in a box of Just for Men as his "secret weapon". There's never a mom present in any of these. I'm gettin' the jibblies just thinking about it.

Mike "I Got the Motts" W. says:
There's a WWF (the other one) commercial w/ Noah Wyle that always pulls me out of whatever else I'm doing because it cues up the classical music and he's really pouring his heart out and then there's a dramatic fade to black.......@ this point I'm ready to see some seriously sad Sally Struthers shit......and it's *#cking polar bears! Love polar bears, but they'd eat my ass in a heartbeat. I'll pitch in to by them a hammock and some trunks, but ER boy isn't getting a dime.

Cindy "Your Majesty!" P. says:
@ Mike, talking about WWF, there's one of this guy and he kinds of holds his hands in front of his face and waves it back and forth? I never watch wresting so I don't know who he is. I could never figure out why he's waving his hand back and forth in front of his face. Then one day it came on and I asked Fellow Luncher what's that mean-he said it means "you can't see me" WTF??? I can TOO SEE YOU CLEARLY! I'm like, that shit only works on little toddlers idiot. LMFAO.

Heidi "my dad's not a phone!" H. says:
I'm with ya Mike.. actually, I agree with all of these. (except for the people who posted links. I didn't click them. Did you really think anyone would?)
That Progressive Auto insurance woman shriking "power to the people!" gets under my skin because they run it so often and she's so annoying. Just give me the cavemen.

Cindy "Your Majesty!" P. says:
@ Clinto, oooohhh...that's why the polar bears. I thought a wrestler promoted saving polar bears. Thanks for clearing that up!

Brandie "B*Dazzle" B. says:
Hahaha! I was wondering.... that reminds me... the Sarah McLaughlin commercials about the dogs just depresses me. Not what I want to see repeatedly when I'm watching mindless Saturday afternoon programming.

Cindy "Your Majesty!" P. says:
@ Heidi, I click on links so I think some other people would too :P The one about HD Vision Sunglasses swears you can see clearer and in better color using the sunglasses. And the Ancient Chinese Secret is some white lady at a chinese laundry/dry cleaning place amazed at "how do you get those stains out!" and the husband goes "Ancient chinese secret" but the wife busts him and say "we use calgon" (detergent)

Sara "Turtle Power" W. says:
There's some free credit report type commercial starring Ben Stein that's running right now. It drives me ape. And why are the squirrels British? I don't get it.
I used to have to mute all the Billy Mays commercials. His voice was like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I wonder if they still run them?
8/6/2009
Cindy "Your Majesty!" P. says:
@ Brandie, yeah I have to change the channel on that Sarah McLaughlin commercial.

Kev "Ready to Tanqueray" L. says:
I thought the Roach pulling away in a GTO was hilarious myself.
but yeah the Progressive chick ("Flo") is pretty annoying.

Heidi "my dad's not a phone!" H. says:
@Cindy - Usually I do click, but not in a thread titled "annoying commercials" :)
@Sara- I haven't seen any lately, but you're right.. that's a little distasteful (even if a contract is involved)

Sam "I use my blinkers" V. says:
Any and ALL radio ads with traffic noises (sirens, honking horns, engines revving, etc.). The people who make those commercials are all on my shit list.

Mike "I Got the Motts" W. says:
The Sarah MacLaughlin commercials....SBJ!!! I'm too hungover to pick out a kitten, sorry......really.
Kev - that roach is a total poser. Rolloin around in a freakin GTO, doin the roll by, then peeling out. Total bitch move. If you want that lady's crumbs, you knock that bitch down and get the job done, am I right? Oh shit....here comes a dissertation from Meredith. =O

Holly "Holleration" S. says:
It's a commercial on the radio, but I'm sick of hearing that damn Tecate commercial, it's like nails on a chalkboard. I actually like the Geico commercials, strictly for the song though. The concept is retarded.

Stephanie "Southern Girl" B. says:
The feed the children commercials with kids covered in flies! That is just cruel!
The latest annoying commercial is Churchs Chicken. Of course they would be a black guy on saying how much he just loves fried chicken. HAHA. I like chicken too but damn! It comes on like ever 5 minutes.
"Five dollar foot lonnnnnggsss".
8/6/2009
Heidi "my dad's not a phone!" H. says:
@Holly-- can't stand that commercial! Especial now that my cd/Aux doesn't work.. I hear that atleast once on my 10 minute drive. Awful.
Here's another... "VIVA Viagra!"
8/6/2009
Sam "I use my blinkers" V. says:
All STD, ED meds and any other med for that matter. Especially when they are constantly popping up during the commercial breaks of programming my kids are watching (i.e. science programs, sports). I am just waiting until one of my kids asks me what ED or herpes is. Awesome. Makes me want the pharma companies to implode.
Or maybe a ticking care package...

Stephanie "Southern Girl" B. says:
@Sam, thats so funny! I like when they list 10 side effects per medication.
Side effects include- TB, rabies, DEATH, blindness, dryness of the mouth/foaming at the mouth, flesh eating bacteria, etc!
Even worse- "If you or someone you know are users of (MED NAME HERE) please call the law offices of John Smith to take part in the settlement."

Mike "I Got the Motts" W. says:
Sam - those Valtrex commercials make me want herpes in the worst way. They all have kickass boats and smokin hot chicks. But what's w/ the urinary meds? Those dudes on the boat fishing and pissing every 5 minutes is hilarious. Great plan guys.

Jay "your double espresso with a shot of gin" M. says:
sham wow of course but whatever happened to the Ginsu knife one. I used to watch it almost everyday when I was a student. The best commercial of course was the famous Honda one.
