Any of the Carl’s Jr’s ads: hey, pig, GET A NAPKIN!

Car ads that exclaim the price to be “Less than $20,000” and the price is $19,995. Technically correct, but annoying.

The Pepsi girl. She’s getting uglier and uglier as the ads go on.

Those diamond silhouette ads.

The Pentium III tagline on computer ads.
