What Commercials Annoy You the Most?

endlessgrief · 03-28-2012, 01:06 AM

In_The_Wind started a thread on favorite commercials. I hate commercials so I thought I would start one about commercials you hate, the ones that annoy you.

FLO FROM PROGRESSIVE MUST DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol @ Flo from Progressive. Yeah, do not like her, either.

I find commercials condescending and not worth anybody's time in general. I hate them, even if some are a little wittier than others.

I recently saw that Ragu commercial as a preview on youtube, with the kids eating spaghetti out of the mom's hair. Hair in food is a phobia of mine. I almost threw up.

I couldn't have said it better my friend. As for your phobia, my husband has that same phobia BAD!!!!! The only thing worse is me laughing my ass off as he is puking in the sink if he finds hair in his food.

The political and pharmaceutical ads by far!

Although cute, the Geico commercials featuring the pig going weeeeeeeeeeeeee. However, those are my dog's favorites.

I use to hate those Geico commercials. I wanted to squash the Geiko! But then I somehow grew to love his little self and his cute little accent.

Fast Forward through them all.

There's a commercial where the wife is talking to her husband like he's a piece of shet on the bottom of her shoe.

It makes me cringe and I tell my kids, "That is NOT how you treat a man."

Irritates me.

I seem to be in the minority among the people I know, but the commercials that really drive me nuts are the Jack Links Jerky "Messing with sasquatch" commercials. I don't find them funny. I find them stupid.

The Gecko needs to die.
Flo is funny/weird, but cool.
Mayhem is great.

Nothing beats the Capitol One misplaced Huns...

A few months ago, the baby in the walker for some printer/phone/email was hysterical.

*ALL OF THEM! I don't know how I ever made it through a 30 minute sitcom without a DVR. The person(s) that invented the DVR deserve a Nobel Prize (if they don't already have one).

*the etrade babies & some superbowl beer commercials get a hall pass but only if they are VERY funny.

The only messin' with sassquatch that made me laugh was when he got up and farted on the fire, blowing all the men away. REVENGE

Yep, in fact we rarely watch shows that aren't on the DVR anymore. We will also pause a program and let it buffer enough that we can FF through the commercials.

I don't know how we survived without a DVR... Well, I do, but I don't wanna think about it.. lol
