I can’t stand Old Navy commercials. Morgan Fairchild is so damn annoying in those adverts.
The same goes for the T-Mobile commercials and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
And that idiot in the Subway commercials (that is, the idiotic smarmy guy, who is even more annoying that Jarred). Can’t stand him, or the stupid people he takes to Subway with him. The latest one for a spicy chicken (?) sandwich (“Is it ____ spicy or ____ spicy?”) is absolutely dreadful.
I’ll stop there.
That would make a good laundry detergent commercial.
I would buy it.
I am disrespectful to dirt! Join me or die! - I would buy this one, too.
Oh yeah, with the onset of The Matrix: Reloaded, I’ve seen two really horrible commercials that I just absolutely detest. Well, one’s just a single commercial, the other’s a campaign. There’s that shitty Hynekin commercial where the waitress is dressed as Trinity, doing flips, running along the wall, and jumping in the air and camera spinning jump kicking some guy into the wall. Ghah! It sucks!
But that’s NOTHING compared to how horrible the Power Aide “Agent” commercials are. That guy’s just annoying to look at, and his voice just pisses me off. And they’re so dull. The static shot, the horrible Smith impersonation, the stupid looking guy…NOTHING about that commercial is inventive or witty, and they just drag on and on and I can’t believe they have about ten of them running. Gimmicks have been known to work…this one’s just been known to piss people off!
I’m with you on the Snuggles commercials. I always felt bad for the poor cute little porcupine when the mean housewife throws him out and that asshole bear snickers at him.
I also hate, Hate, HATE the Osteo Bi-flex ad with the Frankenstein monster reminiscing about how he used to be this stiff, grumpy person before he started taking that particular brand of joint spackle. It could be a clever parody of the soft-focus “look how much more giving and community-minded I am now that I’m not constantly bedeviled by arthritis pain” ads, with the community story-reading and gardening and whatnot. It could be clever, once. Unfortunately, it plays roughly twelve times a day and now I’m seeing print ads in my mother’s AARP magazine. Spare me, please!
The Old Navy ads, on the other hand, I’ve always thought were self-referentially retro-clever, even back in the Eartha Kitt/Carrie Donovan days. My mother, however, despises them all and complains loudly whenever they come on.
Yeah those just get on my nerves. Repetitive, slow and predictable.
We probably get a special Asia-Pac zone version of it then 
OK, we probably do get different ones, I haven’t seen any of those!
Now that’s just annoying. 
El Elvis Rojo said, “That rassmfrassm International Delights commercial with Wayne Brady singing to his coffee mate just annoys the living piss outta me. It runs at least twice a day during the commercial feed we run, so it gets pumped in the studio, and there’s no way to avoid it. I just hate hate HATE that damned commercial. And it gets stuck in my head, too, which makes it even worse!”
Heh. I just saw this for the first time and I laughed my ass off. And I’m not normally like that with commercials. Maybe because my husband worships that International Delight stuff. I kind of picture him dancing and singing to the container. Heh. Cracks me up.
The absolute worst T-Mobile commercial doesn’t even have her until the very end. I hate hate HATE this commercial, and it comes on ALL THE TIME. This couple is in the mall, and the woman asks if the man will play with this little hedgehog. This couple seems to really love each other. The woman pulls out her videophone and records the man playing with it, until it crawls up his legs and he has to try and shake it out. He looks silly, yes, but he’s got a FREAKING HEDGEHOG IN HIS PANTS! Cut to the woman’s parents watching the video at home. “I thought he was a keeper,” the dad says, shaking his head sorrowfully. “Well, that’s why we got videophone,” pipes the mom.
SO the woman stops loving the guy because of an accident that he is not responsible for? Because he looks foolish for 30 seconds in a mall? And she feels the need to show her parents why she’s breaking up with him? It’s so freaking stupid.
OZZIE…SHAA-RON---- and their two kids selling Pepsi.
I hope those people find themselves…then leave the tv world OUT OF IT.
I don’t know if this commercial is just local to my area but it is an advertisement for cable internet access via Comcast. A woman is online and her husband is amazed that she is online without hearing the god-awful dial up sound when trying to make an internet commercial. OK, well at this point we know exactly what he is talking about but his wife doesnt have a clue and proceeds to invite him to imitate it which he does…PAINFULLY! I have to mute the TV everytime this commercial is on because I fear I am going to punch a fist through the screen in an effort to knock that man out…and amazingly enough I am not really a violent person… 
There’s one for some internet provider in which the guy’s wife is having a baby that goes something like: 8:20 baby’s born. 8:21 parents ask to see baby. 8:22 parents see baby.
Why in the name of all that comes in a placenta are you taking freakin’ pictures!!!. Turn off the internet, get off the phone, put the goddamned camera down, you putz! Your wife is still in labor!
Idiot.
I detest, despise, hate the Michelina’s Frozen Dinner commercials set to the Macarena. The song was horrible and died when I was still in high school. That was almost five years ago! Why still use it? I want to throw my TV off the balcony every time I see those commercials.
AMEN on the Michelina one.ugh.
Along with the Kit-Kat " DANCERS "–eerrrrrr…
The black man on the table doin some kind of “white man spazz thing” and the “tough” factory workers showing their more flamboyant side. DUMB
I just saw one for a Lexus. Man hears weather forcast calling for rain. Man goes outside. Takes weathertarp off one car. Puts it on the other, a Lexus. Fine, except for the fact the other car was a classic convertible with the top down. Nice job, jerk. I really hope that rain was added in digtally.
Subway guy and Snuggles. They should be locked in a room together and enforced to endure each others’ smugness.
Honey, have you seen my Lean Pockets?
Yes dear, I saw them in the living room watching television.
Here’s a clue, lady - if the Lean Pockets aren’t in the box anymore, your husband ate them. Food - it doesn’t go on walks, it doesn’t go out for a ride, it’s either in its package, being prepared in the microwave or oven or freaking popcorn popper or whatever, or it’s been eaten! Why are you asking if he’s seen them! Gah, this one annoys me.
Also, who is writing these scripts for the Ovaltine commercials? I’ve never seen anything more ridiculous.
Mother “Kids, who wants some rich chocolatey Ovaltine?”
Kids “Yaay! Oh boy, we do! Hooray! Rich chocolately Ovaltine is delicious, I love you mother, how blessed we are!”
Oy.
Dang, I was hoping I’d be the first one to mention the god-awful Arby’s oven mitt commericals.
“Gotta great new saaaandwich… gonna be really really buuussssy… got to get in shaaaaape!” Click!
One of the biggest hazards of watching Cartoon Network at night is this awful commercial for Skippy Sqeeze Sticks, which are peanut butter inside a Go-Gurt-esque package so you can take it around with you. Okay, first of all: ew. Second of all, it’s the most horrible commercial rap ever. “Squeeze the Skippy it’s the Skippy you Squeeze!” or something like that. Lord. On the plus side, the new Adult Swim commercials are great.
One of those Comcast commercials with the people that used to have The Dish but switched to digital cable. This one starts out simply enough - the guy sold dishes so now he wants one, but he has to pay extra for installation so he decides to do it himself. He like, duct tapes The Dish to a really long metal pole or something and sticks it somewhere. Maybe you keep losing your picture because you did a half assed job of installing it, moron.
I’m ususally on board with Old Navy commercials (I derived no small amount of pleasure from seeing a handful of old American Idol contestants reduced to bouncing up and down on my screen and chanting “hoodies in the house!”), but this latest one is driving me insane. I want to shoot that captain and his stupid grin right between the eyes.
Oh, and I like those Matrix Power Ade commercials.
I hate those commercials that are so obviously written by ad execs without a shred of humor. I’m thinking of that Garlic Butter Ritz Cracker commercial. The one where the wife is on the couch eating a garlic butter ritz cracker, and in case we can’t figure it out by looking at the pack, she’s going “Mmmmm, garlicy … mmmmm, buttery” and then handing one to her husband, who happens to be a vampire.
And, of course, it’s not enough to give him fangs and a pale face, you also have to give the guy a Transylvania U. sweatshirt, and have him say “Hello … vampire” when she asks him if he wants one. Dumbshits.
It makes the 70’s Preparation H commercials look classy, I tell ya’!!
I like the old navy commercials, and the matrix powerade too, “Drink More Powerade”, fine! The lexus one with the convertable was pretty funny, he must really like that lexus. And I like any commecial with any hot girl(s) trying to sell me things, espcecially those fanta commercals, “Don’t you wanta…,” oh god yes “…Fanta,” yea I meant I want a soda.
I hate the skippy squeeze it commercial, and the maxaroni commercial.
It takes a lot for me to dislike a commercial enough to change the channel over it, but those two commercials…
Cafe Society: Great Commercials
I’ve always liked those Kit-Kat commercials. They always make me want to get up and dance for some reason.
But that Snuggle bear is such a pompous twat. I root for the porcupine every time.
Just to mention that my fantasy ending for that commercial is that the porcupine never left and the Smug-gle bear lands right on top of him, hard. Probably wouldn’t hurt the porkie (teddy bears don’t weigh much) but I bet it would make that santimonious ursine think twice next time.
Of course, I also felt bad for the poor lamp in the Ikea ad. I’m a soft touch for the underdog.
