"Gotta Go Right Now"-Post Your Most hated commercials here!

I love Thirst! He’s got great hair, and in the commercial where he’s at LeBron James’s house, he gets teary eyed over the Sprite vending machine in LeBron’s kictchen, and he has a handkerchief with a big fancy “T” embroidered on it. How many guys do you know who carry around monogrammed hankies? Thirst is a classy guy.

As for Jennifer the Watson’s girl, I find her a lot less creepy/annoying now that I know the middle aged guy in the ads is her stepdad, not her husband or boyfriend or whatever.

I saw this last night. A rather idiotic guy has a chick on each arm. Chick #1 says she wants lobster, not burgers. Chick #2 says she wants champagne. The ad then informs you about a place that will advance you money (for an outrageous fee) if you bring in a copy of your last paycheck. Could this be any more socially irresponsible?

I thought the Watson’s ads were local (apparently not). I read somewhere that the Watson girl was an actress from Nashville. I assumed the guy was also an actor. Anyone got a cite on this?

I’m one of those odd sorts that will refuse to buy a product if the commercial irritates me. Which is why I will never, ever, ever purchase a Mazda.

The tampon commercials are all equally annoying, but the worst has to be the guy and girl that are out for a romantic boat ride, and the boat springs a leak, so the women plugs the leak with her tampon. The sight of the wet tampon swelling up with water and sticking out of the hull of the boat is enough to make me run screaming from the room.

Everyone’s been mentioning the Pepto dancers, but I don’t think that’s nearly as bad as the Imodium commercials. One chick is dancing at a CD listening station, then turns all cross-eyed and bolts for the bathroom because…Diarrhea Attacked! What’s even worse is the one where this guy is about to get it on with two hot ladies in a hot tub when…Diarrhea Attacks! If I knew that was the reason he was leaving the hot tub in such a hurry, I’d be right behind him. Blech!

Dude! I love those commercials. Probably because I know precisely how they feel :eek:

Currently, my most hated ads are the Jaguar spots with the “I’m in love with my car” song. It was fine the first 37 times, but Christ it seems they air it every single break. And the Glad (or whatever brand) whiney girl. I want to rip out her tongue every time I hear her. Not too long ago, there was a advert for Prevacid which featured a dancing stomach/ esophagus complete with a parody of “Heartbreak Hotel.” That commercial repulsed me enough to mention it to my doctor when I saw that he had one of their posters plastered up in the examination room.

I don’t have an actual cite, but years ago one of our local disc jockeys had the hots for the Watson’s girl & managed to get some background info. Apparently, the guy in the spots is her step father/ exec of the company.

More about Jennifer.

As for disgusting food sounds, I nominate that A-1 commercial (which I thankfully haven’t seen for a while) where the man and the dog sit down to eat. Then you hear all this revolting slobbering which you think is the dog, but it turns out to be the sound of the man licking his plate, then coming up with sauce all over his face. I love A-1 sauce, but that literally puts knots in my stomach.

And then there’s that one (I’m not sure if it’s for A-1) where the couple is eating the stake together and when the wife closes her eyes expecting her husband to kiss her, he notices some stray steak sauce on her cheeck and wipes it off with the piece of steak on the end of his fork and eats it. Eeeeeuugghh, that squicks me out to no end.

I also agree with the supposedly cute kid sloshing milk everywhere. It makes me ill, and I find myself wishing the kid would just fall down the stairs and break his neck. Related to this is the old commercial with the kid eating barbecue chicken and using ten thousand napkins to wipe his mouth off. Ew, ew, ew.

I’m also mildly annoyed by the commercials IBM plays on CNN and the like (you know, “hurf hurf hurf, electronic toll booth” “bam bam bam, pay your bills through the air!” “that means something!” “live like a big guy, play like a little guy!”) but I can’t put my finger on why.

My least favorite ads are the “Boner Bob” ads for Enzyte. I would like to rip his newly Enzyted pecker out by the roots and use it to knock the teeth out of that vacuous grin of his.
