Commercials you LOVE to HATE?

.....and another...
the two words "up to" really tick me off because it's a loop hole advertisers take far too much advantage of.

example...ROC beauty products say by using one of their products your skin " on the average may appear up to eight years younger."
Heck, with those words anyone can hawk anything and get away with it.

The lastest Thornton Chrysler commercial... listing themselves in with the areas historical landmarks.

The Domino's Oreo cookie pizza commercial with the two goofballs wearing oreo beards and moustaches. Strange. And NOT funny. It repulses me. I change the channel. Honestly.

That one tops my list. And seems like they play it 3-4 times a night......

two words come to mind when i see that guy with the Oreo on his face "stoned" and "pedophile"...for some reason he looks/sounds the part...

Yep, the "Oreo Pizza" commercial has quickly become hated in my house.

PUF, I noticed that Thornton commercial today and thought, what does Helen Keller and W.C. Handy have to do with Dodges?

flip side.....commericials i love to love>>>
Happy Cows! i love the happy cows
and the latest one where they turn the duck's "Ohmmmmm" into "Mooooo" is very clever.

Berries and Cream, Berries and Cream, I'm a little lad who loves Berries and Cream!!!

I am so glad that I am not the only one that thinks that is a sick and gross commercial. Are they trying to appeal to the mass purchasing power of the 4 year old boys out there? My nephew loves it, but he also loves to say "doo doo" and "pee pee" as often as possible, too!

Not a commercial, but it involves sick, gross, 4 year old's and doo-doo.....
My best friend's son loved chocolate , so on his 4th birthday she bought him a cake with chocolate icing and, like most cakes, it was decorated with roses...chocolate roses. He took one look at it and said "somebody doo-dooed all over my cake." After that none of the other kids would touch it.

Please take this in the spirit it is intended, the comments on this topic tonight have given me some of the best laughs I have had in a long time. I am convinced that this out does anything the striking Hollyweird writers that are out on strike could have come up with. If Johnny Carson was still alive, he could have made two ninety minute shows out of this material.
Now, that MONEX GOLD commercial with the condescending woman with the "British" accent makes my skin crawl. I hate anything Billy Mays screams about, he will try to sell any thing and must work really cheap.

When the political season for advertising rolls around, you might want to re-visit this topic.

No one mentioned the condom ads in prime time...that might be offensive to some Catholics.

I keep the remote in my hand and depending on the level of offensiveness, I either mute or change channels. There is a sportscaster on channel 19 that also activates my remote reflexes.

they all activate mine.

I don't have time to go back over all the pages here, but one commercial I HATE is the YAZ one!!!!

They PRAISE that form of BC, then they turn around and give a laundry list of side effects, and they use what looks like VERY YOUNG people on there.

I think it sends out the wrong message, first of all, and aside from that, I just DO NOT LIKE IT!!!

The spots where the woman looks at the camera and says "I've got genital herpes, but I'm controlling my out breaks with ...." Not something I want to hear about while I'm trying to eat supper.

that is soooo true! not very pleasant information lol

I am still laughing over PUF's post,

I don't care who you are, that is funny!!!

But to be on-topic: biggest annoyance is radio commercials that feature the sound of squealing tires, emergency vehicles, or a cars crashing! Hello, I'm in the car and I don't need to hear sirens from the radio!

That commerical is so dumb!!

the head on .. hate that one,

I hate the commercial where the guy runs out of gas and his date starts laughing hysterically.

Mesothelioma anyone? Law offices of james sokolove?

And that starburst commercial where everyone bends backwards halfway, with that wicked tune.

Oh. My. Gosh. ME, TOO!!!

Her fake laugh is the most annoying thing I've heard in many, many years. Not to mention, do 45-year-olds go parking??

i feel kinda sorry for the guy.... when she laughs you can almost see his "interest" going limp...

...all these houses must be sold....if your last name starts with the letters A through N you can begin calling immediately.
If your name starts with the letters O through Z you are allowed to begin calling tomorrow.

and they run the commercial every day.
