The guy who takes up half the screen to tell you about refinancing your home through Country wide-- that guy should be castrated with a paring knife.

Is that the "Mighty Favat" getting in a cameo at the end?
Undercooked Sausage
the commercial with those grinning mutants and the whistling and they're trying to sell some sex drug
forgo
theres some commercial that used to play every night during keith olbermann, for some prescription for old people. it is literally 2 minutes long and for the whole commercial, its just the same little acoustic guitar riff. over. and over. and over. and over. and over. for two minutes. the riff cant be longer than 7 seconds. over. and over. and over. and over. and over. and over.

Two that have been irking me lately

UPS ad with that 30-something douche who draws on a dry erase board. The only thing I hate more than that guy is his overly styled long hair. I physically want to kill him.

The other one:

Cell phone company where some random annoying individual talks about how their life takes place in many cities...and said jet set lifestyle is demonstrated through a bunch of annoying set changes and crane shots....and then they end by saying..I live in philabrobacagoimabigfatcunt.
Moo & Oink
The luxury car commerials shown during the holiday season makes me wanna tell advertising executives to appeal more to the true tv demographic, as if the average joe could afford such things. Also, those cholesterol pill commericals with all the stupid looking people makes me wanna vomit.

Agreed. That AT&T campaign is so pleased with itself. It makes for terrible outdoor, radio and tv.

The foot fungus commercial w/ the animated fungus that crawls under the toenail.

ugh, yeah, I hate that shit

how about the one where "kids don't always wash their hands" and all the bacteria and shit starts growing wild and disgusting?
Hips
those Cherios ads with the "cute little kid" talkin to gramps about studying for his heart test by eatin cherios. i wanna see gramps go face first into his bowl of heart healthy cereal while little timmy fails to remember the number to 911. awful
brainstorm
all those diabetes tester kit commercials with the old bag going, "It was so painful, pricking my finger..."

I always wanna yell back at her, "I prick my finger every fuckin' day! Get over it!"

The only bad part about watching 14 hours of TV a day is that I actually know all the words to this song:

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MqSc92uMAbw&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MqSc92uMAbw&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

and I get it stuck in my head, like, all the time

oh, and the only alcohol commercial out right now worse than the DiSaronno is that Crown Royal one where the olives in all the martini glasses look like eyes, and they turn to look at the glass of Crown Royal. "Ahhh, jealousy." It's the addiest fucking ad I've ever added ad ad ad fuck.

people watch commercials? blink.gif

i sort of love that one, because towards the end, the bouncing ball is nowhere near what the people are singing. it makes me chuckle.
NumberTenOx
That ad for Forgo Nuts. I just can't watch it all the way through.

The Rachel Ray D-Donuts ads make me dive for the remote.
Dr. Johnny Fever
The one for the green bags that keep your food fresh. To show their effectiveness they show all the rotting food that people throw out when they don't use green bags. Disgusting.

Those AT&T commercials are hideous too (and directed by Wes Anderson, why am I not surprised?)

That liquor commercial with Vincent Gallo. But anything with that douche makes me want to vomit.

That Hyundai commercial with the choir singing some Xmas carole with "Duh" instead of the actual words. There's this really annoying looking guy with long hair and a mustache that I want to punch whenever I see it.

"That's not a ficus"

"With V-CAST!!!! 'cause you're my #1"

oh, the horrors....they go on and on and on....
Dr. Johnny Fever
Has anyone noticed the ubiquity of this actress in nearly EVERY fucking commercial?



Her name is Anna Bocci and according to imdb she has been in over 90 commercials. I'm guessing that number is at least double that.

There's something horribly hypnotic about it, especially the way it repeats and never really ends. Every time it comes on, my wife and I start singing it like the kids from Children of the Corn. It grabs on to you and just doesn't let go. A truly evil force indeed.

I do not change the channel for the ridiculous vodka commercial where Vincent Gallo has a good time at a rich people party but I do feel violated by the end when Terry Richardson takes a picture

I have two words for you, SOMBIES:

ZOOM ZOOM

I especially hate the first interation, which has the highlife African pop backup singer crooning "Yeah...yeah...yeah...oh zoom zoom zoom zoom."

Any commercial where a child is explaining the virtues of a product and/or acting like an adult. One of the most tired marketing gimmicks.

the zoom zoom commercials turned around for me when it became a running joke on scrubs.

I don't know who that is, but I'm assuming its the other douche in the commercial with the lame sunglasses and bad facial hair?

yeah

i never thought i'd say this but i sort of miss the verizon vcast ad where fall out boy gets the guy pumped

i also like the tanqueray guy, he makes me feel like i'm a part of something

I forgot about those until I just saw one 5 minutes ago. Yes, they are awful.

Man, triple whammy: 1) Zoom Zoom Reference, 2) Vanity Plate, 3) Vanity Plate from an unimaginative mongoloid whose only thought faced with a blank slate and 7 characters is to put an ownership tag on her lame non-status symbol hooptie.

OTM. Nailed it.

The commercial with the kids at the spelling bee. One starts coughing and then the camera cuts to someone's hand painted up like a face and "saying" "WOW! That's some cough!"
n-infusino
That one car insurance commercial with the mom and her two kids in the SUV, and they are singing that mongoloid half-song "This is a pen...a what?...a pen...Ohhh, a pen. This is a hole...a what?....a hole."


I hope her kids get cancer.

this is truly the worst commercial in the history of television

but am far too entranced by its awfulness to ever change the channel
