There are local ones for cars and scratch n dent washing machines[Central Floridians will smile and nod, the rest of you can never fathom the horror] that chafe me... One for Empire Rug cleaners where they sing the number and then "EMPIIIIIRE today!" which is horrible.. Any ads for movies that use a line that's funny at first but then you hear it 500 000 more times before you see the movie. Commercials for Viagra knockoffs with lots of phallic/penetration imagery get annoying. Even worse are the female sex aids where the ladies sound the the chick from F3... The one for Climatique with the Jewish grandma is great though. Imagine the scratchiest, most masculine old voice with a Brooklyn accent saying "LAYDEES, YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!"

wh00t, TOTPD.

All local commercials suck, but I keep seeing these commercials for some place called The Car Store with morons dressing in New England Patriots or Boston Red Sox jerseys yelling out "Car store! Car store! Go car store!" or "Take me out to the Car Store, take me out for a car!". It's so annoying and I HATE it!

EL: I think I know what you're talking about...is that the "Eight hundred five eight eight! Two three hundred...EMPIRE!" jingle?

YES. I hate that fucking commercial so much. I want to stab it. It isnh't so bad the first time, but the 50,000 subsequent times are evil. I'd avoid it if my Mom didn't watch those court shows all the time. EVERY CM BREAK, it plays! [weeps like Zoidberg]

I didn't think that was more than a local commercial...but there is a local commercial I hate for a place called Magic Mortgage. This guy fell asleep and he's for some reason dreaming about getting a mortgage. All the people are like "Thanks for applying, can I have a down payment now" and "It's my first day and I'm doing your loan" and the images of the people are all warped and it sucks. Then prepare for some of the worst acting I've ever seen...the guy wakes up surprised and says "Honey! There's no time to wait! We have to go down to Magic Mortgage now!" in the most phony voice imagineable. Where the hell do they find these shitbags? Seriously, I want to blast their fucking heads off.

I wish I could remember Billy Cononnily's favourite American advert in detail, but it was something about Piles.

There is a Mcdonalds advert on (again) about their new taste chicken nuggets, they're now saying these nuggets are now made using 'real' chicken breast.
What!? So WTF were they made from before?

And the Loan adverts in the UK. You get all these chumps saying how great it was to be agreed another loan as they were in arrears or had CCJ's or something.
If they couldn't pay it back before why try again? Dicks.

"Ocean direct really helped me regain my confidence"

"It was so easy, all I did was pick up the phone and answer a few questions"

I say, you could get brain damage with all this monkey shit on TV nowadays.

Yeah, those are pretty bad.  The first time I saw one of those, I thought it was a joke.  I kept waiting for the punchline, but it turned out to be a real commercial.

You know a commercial that's so funny it's bad? It's that commercial for that thing where if you're having a medical problem, you push a button and it calls 911...I forget the name of it. But this guy pushes the button, slumps down, and in some of the worst acting ever, blurts out "I'm having a heart attack!" So bad it's funny.

It's almost as bad as that AOL 9.0 commercial with Jerry Stiller, and when he says "You'll be using an old Snoop Dogg CD to fill that spot" and then Snoop Dogg comes in and says "Now wait just one manizzle", that was so atrocious I laughed hysterically.

Every single ad for Alias for the past two months or so.
They're all minor varients on the: "She's supposed to be good, but really she's an evil fucking bitch" theme. And they haven't changed this format in ages. Gaaaaaargh!

For a while before Big Brother invaded the TV schedules, there was an advert which featured clips from previous episodes. One of them was Jade looking like a walrus as usual, and she said "am I minging?" or something similar and, good God, her voice. I almost rammed my fist through the television set.

four of my least favorite comercials are for pepnobismal and geiko and some cell phone company which i forget and dell

the pepno bismal(sp?) one i hate cause there are all these people dancing and singing using simptons and hand gestures, it's just desterbing.

the geiko i hate cause they got rid of the gecko, and it's just people going "i have good news, i just saved a lot of money using geiko," like that's better than the gecko, ph

the cell phone one has kids sitting on a playground, and the teacher's telling them about how they can only have a ball to play with a certain amount of minutes a day, i hate that.

and last but not least, all the comercials for dell that don't have the "dude you're getting a dell" guy, the interns suck and i want the dude guy back. the interns aren't funny and suck ass

They didn't get rid of the gecko.  I saw him just the other day.  They just have commercials without him in addition to the gecko ones, that's all.

I absoloutely hate cosmetic adverts, they're awful. All the same style, a woman with great hair/skin/whatever who doesn't need the product says how they just love the new product from whoever. Then you get a voiceover saying how it includes new, made-up, long and sometimes sciencey words that make it 10x better then before. They're just so annoying and pathetic, but i think it'd made worse by the fact that you get a string of 10 of them in a row.

There is one cosmetics advert that says:

"Product X actually understands your hair"

No it bloody doesn't! It's a bottle of shampoo or something, it doesn't understand anything! Who writes these things?

Also, cosmetic adverts are some of the worst for excruciatingly poor dubbing.

I don't like that Mazda "zoom zoom" kid.

But the ones I hate the most are the medicine ones, that don't say what the medacine is for or what it does (I think 'Cialis' or something)

don't know if it's been done, but what about thouse lame-ass commercials for "renolds wrap new non-stick foil, for when things get sticky!"  If you live in vermont, you've seen it.  It has the worst acting girl I've ever seen having a nightmare about a chicken stuck to the pan.  WTF?  then she calls up her freind and says "Betty, I had that dream again!"  and instaid of saying YOU CALLED ME AT THREE IN THE MORNING TO TALK ABOUT CHICKEN? F U!  like a normal person, she reasures her freind "don't worry!  that's why we invented new renolds wrap non-stick foil."  then they both say the cach frase.  I WANT TO STICK THEM IN A BLENDER!!!

It's not really a commercial but it's an advertisement all the same.

One of my friends saw and sent me a picture of a pop-up ad with a black woman that has a surprised look on her face next to a text banner that says "'I thought that burning sensation was from shaving', Contact your doctor about genital herpes now". Too bad I didn't save it.

Anyone seen the "Invansion of the Fantanas" commercial at your local movie theater?  I get to see it every time I start a movie.  It makes me want to die.

Those Fantanas make me die a little inside every time they make a horrible rhyme[And half of those couplets don't even really rhyme properly]!
I'd forgive them if Fanta didn't tase like carbonated ass. But it does. ....Not that I'd know.
Actually, any commercial in front of a movie makes me want to shoot someone.
The commercial that juxtaposes scenes from the Garfield movie and parts of the BEPs video for "Hey Mama"[A song I actually liked until I saw this atrocity] seems to be a preview for the coming of Satan. It's wrong on about 500 different levels.. I won't list 'em.

we have this lawyer who does these commercials with this "Lets Sue Anyone!" mentality. this man is so insanely annoying.

Also, speaking of lawyers, we have this guy here named Jim Sokolove who seems to look at you with some sad puppy face while saying "I'm Jim Sokolove. I fix problems." in this monotone voice. It's so lame it's almost worthy of putting in the favorite commercials thread.

Second, you never get ugly girls in them with Before and After results!!
They have Before and After on weight loss ads, so why not face cream?
"Before I looked like this... *picture of a St. Bernard*..."  :laff:

And those ladies leg shaving ads are insane, especially the Venus one, it's fucking weird, a bunch of pink chicks driving around in a convertible sticking their legs out the sides...  :hmpf:

Yeah, I hated that one tampax (Actually I hate them all) where theres these two girls looking at eachother and smiling as they drive down a highway, and the narrator goes "What if women designed the highways? There'd be more stops" or some bullshit like that. And then they smile some more and move around to show how comfortable it is.
