More very hate-able commercials

Because I can’t find the old ones?

Experian credit scores. I want to smack that woman who puts her feet up on the guy’s desk because she has a good credit score; I want to smack her in the puss and that wimpy assed husband of hers as well. And WTF is that stuff she’s doing at the end? Pointing and waving? Dumb.

Flonase (I think)–whoever the hell it is that says repeatedly & profoundly “6 is greater than 1” I will beat my BF to the remote when that comes on.

There’s a commercial I keep seeing for prescription toe fungus meds and even though it’s just a cartoon rendering of toe fungus, it’s still gross. And I always see it when eating. Ugh.

Have you seen the Mr. Whipple with the squeezably soft Charmin bathroom tissue commercials:

Some commercial (Pediasure?) starts off with “Children are like sponges” which always makes me mentally respond with “Disgusting and germ ridden? Mainly good for doing dishes?”

A radio commercial for Blindster says they’ll replace your blinds for free if they’re not right and adds “Since all our blinds are custom made, we can not resell them and donate them to charity”. This makes me imagine an impoverished family at a charity saying “We need diapers, formula, some cans of stewed tomatoes, some clothes for my kid to go to school in and… what do you have in a 53 by 33 inch faux-wood horizontal blind?”

Burger King has been running commercials for their ‘Chicken Fries’ which I think are just chicken strips shaped like French Fries. Most of them seem to be about how most chickens apparently are racist towards French Fries, but there are some chickens who love them. Then I guess they mate with the potato fries to produce Chicken Fries. Or they have themselves killed in order to be more like a chopped-up fried potato. It’s rather off-putting, especially as they use real chickens in the spots (or at least real chickens that are computer-animated).

I would never call my car ‘Brad’.

I’m not a fan of the commercial with the Australian (I think) woman who want to talk about your “bum” and is selling wet wipes for use with toilet paper, or the other toilet paper commercials with the cartoon bears.

An auto parts chain is running a series of commercials that are designed to appeal to manly, manly men:

Closeup of some mechanic's manly grease-covered hands doing something with a wrench, accompanied by a gravel-voiced narrator from a Viagra commercial.

  "Are the these the hands of a man who would use a (spits in disgust) *discount card*?"  

Apparently they aren't, because throwing a discount card in the console of your manly pickup isn't going to leave room for your shotgun and a case of Lone Star.    Or something like that.

I’m not sure why this commercial irritates me so much except that it’s so obviously pandering to the notion that only blue collar good old boys with lines of grease in their hands who earn their living by the sweat of their brow are Real Men.

Which brings us to this commercial: in which focus groups are asked whether the guy in front of the pickup truck is more manly (spoiler: the answer is “hell yeah”). Seriously? They might as well just run the commercial with a tag line “Your penis is too small, you should buy a truck.” Doesn’t matter if you don’t actually need to tow stuff or carry stuff – buy our 18mpg vehicle because you’ll look cooler in it than in a Toyota.

I think I win this one hands down Charter Cable 1-800-257-3999 or something like that when I’m watching Jeopardy at my local watering hole it makes the bartender hit the mute button instantly

And even worse is when the woman is encouraging people to “go commando.” I’m afraid she’s going to ask everyone coming out of the bathroom to wave their panties around to prove they did it.

The one that comes to mind - actually there are several - are the ones by law firms looking for people who have had faulty “trans-vaginal mesh” or “pelvic sling” surgeries. They say it over and over, and put it up on the screen, and then to make matters worse, they usually show the commercial twice, back-to-back. I don’t know, and don’t want to know, what the problem is, and I despise lawyers who engage in this kind of ambulance chasing.

Whatever the commercial is for,there is a whining 12 or so girl complaining about the way mom is washing her clothes… My kids tried that… it did not work out well for them. I explained “This is a washing machine. You push these buttons to make it work. I don’t care how dirty your clothes get,I’ll not wash another stitch for you.” and I didn’t. I so wish that wimpy woman would do that!

AAARRGHHH!! That’s your big line – 6>1 ?? Advertising genius :smack:

The six is greater than one annoys me too. As does the women in Deals Dot Com who is so pissed people got things for cheap. Why does someone buying a cellphone for nine dollars anger her so much?

BBC America insists on running lengthy Proactiv commercials describing how Adam Levine (who I guess is some kind of pop star) fights his acne. I sympathize with sufferers of acne, but dammit, I don’t want to look at “before” pictures of pustulent youth on my HD TV while eating dinner. Or ever, really. It almost makes me glad Top Gear was cancelled, so I don’t have to encounter these commercials anymore.

It took me a while to really get a hate on for this one, but I have learned to despise the superior attitude of the red-headed Wendy’s chick who apparently does nothing all day but stuff her face with fast food and act like that makes her better than the rest of us. (and of course, never gains an ounce).

Yes, thank you, I DO feel better getting that off my chest! lol

I am* soooooooooo* sick of auto insurance commercials. All of them!

No way, Kevin, the Geico scapegoat is hilarious. Second only to the Sprint screaming goat.

That depends. Is your car an asshole?

That nasty-ass woman who does the Toyota commercials. I can’t stand looking at her, let alone listening to her talk. And then there is the equally noxious Honda “hashtag” commercial. I want to hunt them down and #huntingknifeinthecrotch.
