commercials that annoy

[candyshopgirl]

I was wondering what (if any) commericals just pissed the shit out of you?I mean really just make you want to throw your snack or remote through the tv?
For me its the new taco bell commerical.

The guy is at the coffee stand in the mall.He gets his coffee and says keep the change(I think its like some quaters).The guy behind him comes up and says No don't give that change to him,you can get(insert some dirrehea inducing new food here).The guy then takes his change and leaves.The part that annoys the crap out of me is the guy that started all this crap then holds up a dollar and says "can I get some change" with a stupid shit eating grin on his face.

I dunno it just gets to me

sham-wow gets to me... that guy has no left eye, it just doesnt ever open! as if im going to use a big orange cloth as a bathmatt...

oh and the pedi egg (BARF!!!) now they have them for dogs to...yuck

I hate the pushy infomercial commercials in general,
a snuggie...please its just a bathrobe backwards
the 5 in one coat hanger, the shoe organiser that goes under your bed... are you kidding me

its all just over priced, low quality crap I dont need in my life.
I mute the TV and get off my fat arse and do something during the commericals. Its the perfect time to load the dishwasher or get a drink or go to the loo.

My mom watches one of the Spanish channels. Usually I'm in another room so I hear the commercial. There's a commercial for Nissian Ultima (I think) and there is this sad song being played in the background. The thing is, I think the Spanish channels have limited amount of commericials they play. As if manufacturers don't think about selling stuff to the Spanish-speaking market, because it always seems like the same commercials are playing.

Anyway, the song drives me insane. It's like every commercial break it plays. And it would be ok if it was just for two months but I swear it's been playing for the past year.

I've seen the commercial too. I don't get it. It seems a guy is at the dinner waiting for his girl. He's looking in his wallet at a pic of his girl. The girl walks in and sits down and he leaves. ANd he sees an Ultima on the corner and he falls in love with it. The commercial makes little sense.

Hate it Hate it Hate it!

Any commercial with Billy Mays. He SHOUTS everything! Talk in a normal voice. You have a microphone.

I agree McGoddess but guess what.....he is getting his own show on the Discovery Channel soon! I heard it on the radio today and nearly went into the ditch.

I hate the ShamWow commercials too. Ugh that guy is SUCH a dork.

"We can't do this all day, so you gotta call now!"....yeah, and two minutes later, the ShamWow commercial is back on!

The Progressive commercials with the checkout girl are starting to irk me quite badly. It's stuff like that that reinforces the idea to the general public that all customer service employees are morons. I mean, come on. 'Tricked out name tag', or how she wrote the 'song' she played on the new year's noisemaker. Gah! I want to punch her.

Local car and mobile home dealerships, they yell everything. And the one dealer ad plays just about every commercial break, sometimes one right after the other.

[BookstoreEscapee]

Any commercial that involves the announcer yelling (ShamWow, Oxy Clean, local car dealers...). Can't take 'em.

There's a phone company commercial I keep seeing on the Spanish channel that's on at work. It has what looks like the puppets from Crank Yankers (don't know if they're the real ones or not) dancing and singing ...there's an English version I've seen a couple times but when I go up to my old department for lunch (which is only 1-2 times a week) I seem to hear it at least once or twice in the half hour I'm there.

I hate attorney commercials. Ours are so lame and kill brain cells.

I hate attorney commercials. Ours are so lame and kill brain cells.

Our are just the opposite but just as annoying. These guys all wear cowboy hats and swear to be the biggest, baddest attorneys this side of the Rio Grande.

No, you're not. And your cowboy hat is not full of win.

In my state (SA, Australia) There is a clearance house called Mrs. Bankrupt (formerly Mr. Bankrupt). Whenever his commercials come on, he talks really fast, really loud and AGHH it's so annoying. I mute them.
Other annoying commericals: Anything that is selling ringtones, stupid quiz questions (i.e. What colours are on the US flag? Are they red, white and blue or yellow, green and brown-these are obviously Australianized though).

On the other hand, one of the ones that makes me laugh is for a hair salon called Hair Machine. Very upmarket. It consists of some guy (name escapes me) stating that we're best etc. (truthfully they are), his own hair on the other hand....

A town has only two barbers. One of them has perfect hair. The other's hair is a mess. Which one do you go to?

[kerrisan]

Anybody else in Texas get those Lawrence Marshall Dealership commercials from Hempstead? Ugh!

Trust me, Billy Mays is getting his own show. I was in such disbelief that I missed the name that it will be called, but it has the word "Believe" in it I think. Like I said, I nearly sent my car into the ditch because it was literally one of those "WHAT?!" moments when you hear something crazy on the radio.

I also hate a lot of local commercials. Like Check Into Cash, local pawn shops, etc etc. Just lame.

The ones on the radio are even worse.
