Which commercials do you hate the most?

Funny, OpenTable goes berserk on my Hero. Search by name flashes the restaurant in the pick list for a split second then goes away. Let it do that for a little while and then it will force close.

Only on Android.

Or maybe only on your hero eh chief?
 
All of the ESPN World Cup Commercials are getting old. I have seen the same commercials for the 4.5 hours of soccer I watch a day for like a week. Its getting annoying.
 
Also that commercial where a group of men are singing "I wear no pants" is super annoying.

And how about the J.G. Wentworth opera one? (sung to opera tune) "I have an annuity and I need cash now!" "877 cash now!" ARGH!!! :mad:
 
Staple "WOW!! That's a low price!" commercials suck. And the "I wear no pants" one is just plain disturbing. Luckily, I watch most of my TV off my DVR, so I skip over all but the Victorias Secret commercials and that Carl's Jr commercial with the bikini model in the gold bikini :D

Those new Ford ones with the "regular Joe" guy in the baseball hat talking cars with other "regular" folks. I want no part of the same car that jackwad drives. :mad:

You better not be talkin' s*** about Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs!
 
I also hate commercials from Ford that have "regular people" (actors) who have "switched" from Toyota or some other company. I love the reasons that they give for their switch. "My car now has bluetooth and navigation!"
 
The Carl's Jr. commercials where they have somebody biting into a huge burger. I don't normally have issues with chewing sounds, but their sound guy needs to be replaced. Every time I hear that it sounds more like a zombie chomping into somebody's neck than somebody biting into a delicious burger...

Any radio ad that repeats the phone number half a dozen times.

Commercials that assume everybody is a complete moron. Infomercials are the worst at this. Recently I saw one for some replacement for scissors and they demonstrated how "it's impossible to cut a straight line with regular scissors!" with somebody who must have been drunk out of their minds to fail at cutting paper so badly.

Any ad that comes on at twice the volume of the show you're watching.

Speaking of radio ads, how about ones with car horns honking? So many people listen to the radio while driving this has got to be a safety hazard. Drives me nuts!

Its not like they even need to use actors..

If you traded out someones 8 year old vehicle for something brand new with backwarmers.. Of course they are gunna wanna keep the vehicle with back warmers.. especially if they have labor intense jobs and it works like a heating pad after a long days work on the drive home..

Any new fully loaded vehicle is going to win out against something older, with less features.

Hell switch some of those suv's for people with 2 kids for a porsche, and I'm willing to bet the kids will be riding on the roof if they have to.. But, I doubt they would want to give up the porsche..

Remember this? :D

YouTube - Friends - Milkmaster 2000
 
I have to add now: The Microsoft Kin commercials are weird.

They're basically saying that you should get your Kin and stalk whoever is on your friends list.
 
Only on teen nick, and yes I still watch some shows on there, but the new Degrassi commercial for the new season coming up. Annoying "Shark in the water" song by VV Brown.
