I hate those **** Geico commercials.......
"Head on, apply directly to the forehead. Head on, apply directly to the forehead."
Slate just did an article on this: http://www.slate.com/id/2171623/nav/navoa/

I hate the VW ads that show them crashing. Those just give me the heebie jeebies. A very close second is the Fudgems from Domino's Pizza. It looks like poop and is the least appetizing thing I have ever seen!

My all-time least favorite was the Quizno's spongmonkeys ad campaign. I haven't eaten there since they ran four years ago.

That commercial drives me crazy!

ALL commericals dealing with drugs/medicines.
Direct TV....the dead-pan, bugeyed brunette that says she wants us to know the truth about cable TV.
Also one of the car title places that has the girl saying "they got my title back from those other folks" in a very irritating chipmunk voice.
and sometimes it isn't the commercial itself that's irritating, but the frequency it's shown.

How about Vonage who who who who who on every channel of your theater. My dog knows she gets a treat whenever vonage commercials play.
They do have a great service though!

You bet your sweet Aspercreme was my favorite.
They changed it to "You bet if its Aspercreme"
but here is the old one:

I don't know about ya'll but the two homo's that do the Sonic commercial's really get on my last nerve. 
ANY fast food commercial that shows you their "product"... has anyone EVER seen a Whopper look like the one's on television?????? LOL!!!
KS - you should check out the Slate article I mentioned above, I think the first link. They talk about the McDonald's Fillet-O-Fish ads! They say the opposite though, that the sandwiches look nasty and greasy and not yummy at all!
Talking about all this food makes me wish I hadn't skipped lunch!!!

The Pepto Bismol spot where the people are singing their symptoms. Heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea. Nothing worse than seeing people grab their butts and say "diarrhea"
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.

I hate those Sonic commercials,too,but I would have used the word -geeks- instead.And then there is the one about the A1 sauce drop on the grill,that one reminds me of my middle son.He has plenty of book sense,just not one drop of common sense.
Mine are a toss-up between the 'Enzyte' commercials and the ones for 'Dr. Scholl's'....

only1me...I was absolutely going to say those "Call Goldberg" commercials where I have the freaking number memorized...I'll about break a bone running to the remote/TV whatever I can get to first to turn the danged channel.
I also hate the "Sticks & Stuff" with the Gordon girl and I can't stand, I think it's Hardees, where you can hear the guys crunching and smacking their food.
A funny comment about "Enzyte Bob", my father is hard of hearing and until he recently out the closed-captioning on his TV, he thought that was a denture commercial.

We had a patient in the hospital who was somewhat deaf. So one of the nurses posted a sign above her bed that read "HOH". I didn't know what that meant so I said to her, "Look, this woman is old. How do you know what her morals were? At least spell it right". It stood for H ard Of H earing. HOH.

I'm aghast--I think the redhead is really cute!
Yes, Goldberg is definitely in the top ten. I hate the husband in the Sonic married couple skits, but love the red head in the guy duo (they're not gay, c'mon).
The pits has to be the woman smiling as she says, "I have genital herpes..."

Or the one where the guy says, "I have genital herpes" and Miss Perky says, "And I DON'T"! (I always want her to add, "I have GONORRHEA!!!)
Or the road ho looking woman on that weight loss ad with the painfully engorged fake boobies who talks about how "hot" her husband thinks she is. Billy Bob thinks Wanda is a hottie. Whatever.
I just "love" the one (LA wieght loss) where the girl says "and now I have a smokin hot body" and my "husband calls me his trophy wife". I know that I would be proud if I lost weight, too, but that commercial makes my teeth itch!
Does ANYONE "get" the cavemen commercials for Geico? Please explain.....
What about the one where those three ladies are sitting on the couch eating activia...
this is my mother and this is my grandmother... my mother and grandmother both tried to talk to me about my bloating and constipation....Yum, Yum (said very drearily). I would like to know who wrote that commercial.

Personally, I find the phrase/title 'trophy wife' demeaning. To me it says "See what I have? I may not appreciate her, but I have her....and you don't." I dunno... My wife can explain it better. She says her EX often used that phrase to describe her.
You know, in this case "trophy wife" is demeaning. But in my way of thinking, "trophy wife" is a good compliment when it is given to a wife who handles everything that comes her way with eloquence and patience. A woman that helps her children and husband. A woman that knows how to tend to herself and her family. and a woman (most of all) that loves openly and freely and says it every day to those that she cares about. THAT is a trophy wife!
Oh yeah--and can keep her sanity throughout the whole ordeal! 
the "trophy wife" commercial gets on my last nerve too. To me she is really saying - my husband (2 faced jerk who was cheating on me to start with) was about to divorce my fat lazy tail, so I lost weight & he loves me now. But hey, that is just my opinion. I would also like to stick Goldbergs 800 number up his nose! my kids go around singing that all the time.

Yeah, but the men ALWAYS mean the 24 year old plastic blonde he traded the above wife in on when he felt old.

I don't recall where I heard it, but stop and think about it: we eat fish that are shaped like crackers, and crackers that are shaped like fish. Is it any wonder we're confused?
I think that there are some products that should not have commercials at all. Feminine hygiene products top that list. We know what they are. We know what they do. We know we need them. We are going to buy them regardless. Running commercials for them during "The Office" is really not necessary. Put ads in Ladies Home Journal and Cosmo, or run them during the Soap Operas if you must advertise on television, but please... keep them out of prime time!
i agree....most are just downright embarassing.
and the one i've seen lately with a woman soaking up the flood from a busted water tower with a pad? Good grief
.....Lite days, in between days, heavy days, moderate days, liners, deodorized, with wings, without wings (no way do i want wings down there). i think all those different types had to be invented by chauvinistic men that think a woman can't be happy unless she has something between her legs.

LOL! I agree.
I also hate the erectile disfuntion commercials.
I have all but given up watching TV. The commercials they show are just ridiculus (sp?). I think it was much better before drug companies could advertise. Every night, it is either ED or Herpes. I am tired to having to explain this (or not) to my 7 year old.
I can't remember the last time I saw soap powder or something like the old English Leather or Windsong commercials that use to play. Mr. Clean, Ajax. Long gone.
One commercial I'm not sure if I like or not is the man dressed as a spoon and talking about ice cream. The commerical itself is a very cute concept, but the handle of the spoon dangling between his legs is a bit disconcerting.

I hate that every time there's an ad for a feminine hygiene product the woman is wearing white pants. Usually riding a bike. Ewwwwwww.
I change the channel everytime one of those Krystals' chicken on a stick commercials with the bimbos from Tuscaloosa comes on. Good grief. Could they have found any girls MORE stupid for the commercials? The two brunettes' voices are like nails on a chalkboard.
I detest ANY commercial that comes on and when it is over, the entire room of people are scratching their heads wondering what the dang commercial was trying to sell.
Looks like some of them spend more time dipping into the drugs instead of thinking of a good commercial, LOL.

Holy cats, I couldn't agree more. When my daughter was about 7 she would be running through the house singing " What a woman...FDS woman....FDS WO-MAN! So clean and confident!!!"
I had no idea until then that she had soaked that song up...GREAT! Now I am singing it....
The Geico commercial that has the person upside down...with eyes on his chin...you know the ones...like it's some kind of a freaky puppet...
It's chewing something up and you can hear the food smacking around in its mouth....I am about to puke just thinking about it. I have to mute the tv and turn my head until I can guess that it is over...*shudder*

legally commercials have a decibel limit and networks aren't supposed to go over that limit....but that doesn't stop the networks from broadcasting the regular shows below the limit so the commercials are loud by comparison.

It isn't so much the volume most of the time that makes me want to throw one of the couches through the tv...it's the music. WHY do they have to have blaring,wailing guitars and wild music or sirens or screaming pitch-men?
I know that is probably supposed to grab our attention but it just makes me want to turn the tv off completely just for the peace that will be in it. Even the dogs get nervous.
If they want my attention so desperately, why don't they just try to sell me something that is worthwhile? That would do it.

Anything local. With the exception of the Harley Davidson commercial out of Huntsville.
DON'T make your own commercials. And don't put your kids on there either. It makes you look:
1. Stupid.
2. Your kid looks goofy.
3. Poor. Like you aren't successful enough to hire somebody professional to do your commercial. Nobody wants to do business with a failing business.

There's a radio spot for a local dentist where the girl has the above problem. I'm beginning to think they've left it that way to get people's attention. That's a common advertising ploy....the most irritating commericals are the most remembered.

What about that new wireless phone retailer commercial in H'ville with that goofy looking blonde who is SMACKING HER GUM while she sits in a chair and, like, yeah, like, talks about their, like, totally awesome service!!!
Just saw a new one last night about the new EXTRA flavor gum coming out. There was this guy standing in line at an airport terminal and he takes a stick of this gum and starts doing this "strip show" in line. Needless to say, this guy is not the "Chippendale's" sort, and the dam*ed buzzer still goes off when he steps through. This commercial definitely caught my attention but I walked away shaking my head.
ANY pawn your car title place.
Of course they never mention if you don't pay back that easy money you lose your car.

How about the "rock bottom commercials". If you can hold up that much money, then you need to hire somebody with a better camera to film your commercials and come up with a better slogan! "We can save you this!"
I know that it has been mentioned before, but I detest, abhor, hate those cavemen commercials. And to think that now they are coming out with a series about cavemen. Is it just me, or is this just plain crazy?
I also hate the LA Weight Loss commercials - is their intent to make women look like bimbos? I especially can't stand the woman who says "My husband says I'm hot" and she pronounces "hot" like it has more than one syllable. LOL
As for local commercials - Ricatoni's should go out of business for the ones they air. UGH

I just thought of another one I hate - the Hardees commercials. They are so disgusting and I can't stand the guy who does the voice over.
my newly hated commericial is the ones on the radio for wal-mart where the morons are grilling in the back yard bbq isle!!!!!!!!!
Ugh. I can't believe I didn't mention this one earlier!!

...commercials with young women advertising anti-aging products.Just saw one for "Rimmel" with a skinny blonde that couldn't be more than 25 and the commercial says their product will make you look years younger....
Yep, when you're 25 you want to look 20, right?
.....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.

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 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.

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 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!!!

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.
