The new McDonalds slogan “I’m lovin’ it”.
That is all.
Not really on TV, but whenever I hear that damned Del Taco $.59 Burrito commercial I want to smash my fist into the guts of the radio and rip everything out. That whiny little bastard needs to be found and slapped.
And wtf is up with those Quiznos commericals, anyway? It’s like they went to rathergood.com and decided to cross it with something from a Photoshop Phriday to sell food.
I hate them.
They make me change the channel.
This is the opposite of successful advertising.
The new diet pill ads.
You know, the ones that say “if you only want to lose a couple of pounds, then this pill is NOT for you, It’s too powerfull”.
Anyone that falls for this deserves to be ripped off, but it still irritates me.
This statement applies to the vast majority of adverts on SKY (UK) most of them are loan ads. They are either patronizing, obnoxious, arrogant, or just plain crap (sometimes all 4)

I’m on the fence about this one. While I know the message is bunk, I turn my head each time it comes on TV. I think it’s those blue eyes…
Do you mean Taco Bell? Or do you live somewhere that still has Del Taco? I haven’t seen a Del Taco since the very early 80s here in the South.
Oh, and on topic: My hands involuntarily fist up when I happen to see “Divorce Court” on TV. For those who don’t have access to this point of American cultural pride, “Divorce Court” is a show on which couples who want to get divorced go on TV and air their grievances against each other in front of the impossibly shrill-voiced Judge Mabilean Ephraim. Much screaming and shouting inevitably ensues, and it’s basically a half-hour of several people shrieking all at the same time, followed by some moralizing so pat that it could put a sneer on a Hallmark writer’s lip. Think “The People’s Court” with pent-up marital anger, cranked up about two octaves above the Celine Dion Threshold.
And yeah, I used to get sucked in and end up watching it, which is how I know so much about it.
Ah, that’s because they basically did. The rathergood.com guy, Joel Veitch, actually made those ads (and some others with penguins in).
Mike Ditka’s Levitra ads. You see, with Speedweeks in full swing, I’ve been watching plenty of the Speed Channel. They, apparently, only have one client. Levitra. I bet I’ve seen that commercial 1 billion times. It actually is giving me erections through the TV I’ve seen it so many times.
Damn you, Bruce! The words “Ditka” and “erection” should NEVER appear that close to each other?
I can’t even imagine what trouble you must be in if you’re getting wood from that guy. Although I guess it’s good that you’re getting the benefits without paying for the pills. 
… The fact that WB cancelled Angel.
Truth ads. After a thorough TV-kicking, I go out and smoke, too.
I kinda like those Quizno’s ads. Mainly because you can bring in a coupon for anything and get a dollar off. You know how many useless pizza coupons I’ve got?
McDonald’s radio ads are even worse than their horrible TV ads. My personal favorite is the one where a guy sings about his epic cross-country road trip “from Portland Oregon to Portland Maine,” with roughly the amount of passion that is normally reserved for things like death, war, or love. Along the way he samples the many pleasures and natural wonders America has to offer. These include the Quarter-Pounder With Cheese, the Double Quarter-Pounder With Cheese, the Big Mac, Coke, and Fries. I would like to shoot this man in the face.

There, is that better?
Heh…those spongmonkey things for Quizno’s kind of grow on ya…I’ve found myself singing the song at odd moments. Which icks my boyfriend out because he thinks the critters are creepy as hell! evil chuckle
WE LIKE THE SUBS!
CAUSE THEY ARE GOOD FOR US!
WE LIKE THE SUBS!
CAUSE THEY ARE TOASTED!
THEY HAVE A PEPPER BAR!
They did what?! Nooo!!!
Being in Britain, to watch Angel I have to download the episodes. This is the first I’ve heard about it being cancelled.
The commercial that shows the top of a glass of beer in a way that sort of makes it look like the moon. Text appears saying “No one remembers the name of the second man to walk on the moon.”
Uh, Buzz Aldrin? Hellllooooo, Buzz Aldrin? I could be wrong here, but do you think it might perchance be Buzz fucking Aldrin? If I’m wrong, can I take just one more guess? I think it might be goddam motherfucking Buzz freakin’ Aldrin, you ignorant sacks of pus whose crappy watered down piss I will never buy.
But I’m not bitter, really.
What really makes me kick the TV are the new Pepsi adds. The jist of the ads are for kids to be able to d/l music again by supporting Pepso only this time legally…
…all the while they sing “I fought the law and the law won”.
Which makes me feel like Pepsi is breathing down my neck or atleast that they have sold enough Mr Pibb to be the strong arm of the law.
