Those David Spade S&M with the fat guy “NO!” commercials. They weren’t funny the first time, they sure as hell aren’t funny the 7 millionth time, and if the Anti-Christ will just get rid of that little troll for a thousand years I’ll at least listen to his sales pitch.
All of the damned local commercials that seem to think all kids spouting sales lines are cute.

I’m currently deeply sick of the “This night’s sleep brought to you by Lunesta” ads, you know, with the glowing green butterflies that symbolize sleep.

Those Orbit gum commercials are stupid too. I think the latest is some guy giving his girl the dog’s chew toy to munch on. Ick.
[/QUOTE]
Oh, yes, those are the worst. The one with the guy driving blindly through traffic and crashing through whatever is in his way, as he admires his Orbit-white smile in the rear-view mirror is just stupid.
The one you mentioned, with the guy feeding his girlfriend chocolates, makes me want to throw things at the TV. He shoves the dog’s chew toy in her mouth by accident, then just sits and stares as she whimpers. He can’t remove it, and apparently, neither can she. She just sits there, pointing at it and whimpering. The dog is the smartest one of the three.
I hate it!

Oh, oh, how did I forget the Skittles one where there is a man at what appears to be a job interview and the man has a really long prehensile beard, with which he is using to EAT SKITTLES, which is bad enough…….but then he proceeds to use the beard to feed one to the lady interviewing him, and then stroke her face with it….gaaaaaAAAAAHHHH!!!
I will never, ever, eat another Skittle. They are now officially Creepy Beard Food.

Oh Shaumburg, you say everything I wish I could. That commercial is OUT OF CONTROL. Whoever the marketing team was that greenlighted that one…I dont even know what. I can’t come up with clever punishment because i’m just so freaked out.
If someone fed me a beard skittle, I’d have to stab myself in the head with a pair of scissors.

I just remembered the Burger King commercial where the men all start this musical number about having been forced to eat quiche and they’re not going to take it anymore. The worst part is the oh-so-subtle symbolism when a huge banner unfolds in the background with the phrase, “Eat This Meat.”
[/QUOTE]
You know, I like meat as much as the next guy. I like any kind of meat. I’ll finish your Shake’N’Bake squirrel for you if you don’t want to eat it. But what the hell is this deal with quiche? Why are men supposed to hate it so? It’s eggs; it’s cheese; it’s meat; it’s pie. What’s not to like?

No prob Chitown. By the way, “Beard Skittle” makes me shudder. It sounds like a facial dingleberry that one would root out from one of the ZZ Top guys.
Boy I hope nobody eating Skittles is reading this thread… :eek:
I hate the series of ads where ex-NFL player Howie Long goes around badgering men into doing something cartoon-macho because they have a manly Chevy truck.
Floor-mate is a cheapo floor moppy thing with a little tank of cleaning fluid on the handle. They took it to an ad agency, and the best they could come up with was a pun on Aussies’ habit of calling each other “mate.” A housewife in a perfect kitchen is startled when a kangaroo (yes! a kangaroo!) hops through, leaving muddy footprints. There’s a kangaroo in her house, and the part she’s annoyed at is the footprints. Then a musclebound Aussie comes out of nowhere with a moppy thing strapped to his back. “I can clean that floor, mate,” and he jumps into action. Oh, yeah, that’s a superhero for today’s world; Aussiemoppyman.

They’ve branched out into “Boys Gone Wild.” It’s one thing for young girls to be taken advantage of, with the “flash your tits and go kiss her for the camera,” but the video evidence of young frat boys playing “show your junk” like they were a bunch of pubescent boys just learning what kind of neat tricks they can do with their wedding tackle will probably be used in some dirty-tricks political smearing ~20 years from now.
[/QUOTE]
Why is it worse for the boys to flash their stuff than the gals? It’s all gonna be equally damning in 20 years from now.
(tho’ I gotta admit, I hadn’t heard of “Boys Gone Wild” and I’m I’m slightly intrigued…)
All those late-night cable ads for lawyers shilling for some disease or drug reaction. “Do you have mesothelioma?”, “Did you take insert drug name here? So what if it saved your life - you could be eligible for a massive cash settlement, of which you’ll see $5 and we’ll get the balance.”

Perhaps because the generally-accepted term for a man who does that is “sex offender.”

Actually, I looked it up. It’s “Guys Gone Wild.”
20 years from now, the girls on “Girls Gone Wild” are going to be housewives, after getting their MRS degree (the girls going to college for academics with an eye to politics are bright enough not to pay for it by posing for porn). Some of the guys in “Guys Gone Wild” are going to be running for City Council, Congress, Governor, or even President- they’re frat boys- that’s what frat boys do 20 years after college.

The most annoying ads I’ve found are DURING the program.First USA puts its logo in a corner of my screen,so in a year it will burn an image in my rear projector.Now,I’m watching my Law and Order,suddenly a character from another program pops ups and mugs for a few seconds.Regardless of how it destroys a mood,USA doesn’t care.

Teehee … yer funny.
and I am slightly tipsy.
Currenty the most annoying commercial to me is the one that plays that Pussycat Dolls (I think) song “Don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?” because the damn song gets stuck in your head and just when it finally leaves the damn song comes on again!
Still, it’s only slightly less annoying than the commercial that played “my humps”, my humps, my humps, my humps!
I have to pretend it’s being sung by a camel.
Ugh. The Yaris commercials are creepy. Why the hell would I want to buy some alien invader of a vehicle? The one has it violating a piggy bank with some kind of synthometalflesh tentacle with weapons of physical destruction in it, and the other one has some sort of fleshy orifice coming out of the gas tank and sucking up the life juices of the little nozzlebug it squished mercilessly. Bad car! Bad!
I like the “Woo Hoo” song (it’s by the 5.6.7.8’s, and it helps if you listen to the whole track–it’s on the Kill Bill soundtrack, I believe).
But sweet God, I loathe Old Navy ads. shudder
(Whatever happened to Gap and its advertising branch?)

I was gonna post about the Heineken commercial. WTF does it have to do with the product? I also hate the song with a passion, and those who wrote it, sing it, and find it enjoyable should be paper cut to death.
The “My Humps” commercial was redeeming because of the hottie in it. Otherwise, a sock full of Canadian quarters to the heads of Black Eyed Peas.

I’ve often thought about this. Can’t you just picture it? Some 12 year old kid is over at his buddy’s house when the parents aren’t home. The buddy says, “Hey, you gotta see this DVD I found in my dad’s closet. It’s old, from about 15 years ago, but there’s chicks showing their tits and gettin’ naked.” So they watch the thing, and sure enough: there’s MOM, from back in the day, lifting her shirt and leering at the camera.
Don’t any of these gals realize that this is a very real possibility? It boggles the mind.

I’ve been laughing uncontrollably ever since I read the phrase “beard skittle”.
Thanks to you both for a chuckle!
