AARRRRGGGG! I hate that one, too! I either mute it or turn channels I'm so sick of it. There's also one about a guy wanting to go into business for himself and his current "boss" (I guess) is telling him he can't do it. I don't even know what they're advertising ... it disgusts me so much I turn channels rather than watch it. :mad:

That commercial where the "fungus" lifts up the toenail & crawls underneath. Man that freaks me out! We always scream "change it...CHANGE IT!!!" :eew:

All of the above

Oh, & a (I think) local ad for a furniture warehouse store with a CGI cartoon character that looks like Bill Clinton's dumbass clone...do they actually think this is a great selling point?

Then there's the Empire Carpet ad...announcer sounds like he's in final stage throat cancer, then they make my skin crawl even more with the 40's style "Android Sisters" musical jingle...

The IBS commercials with the tummies. Also, the gas and constipation commercia with the dancing people. STUPID!!

Although I did hear something funny......you know the beer commercials"Real Mean of Genius"??? I gues there are spoofs now called "Real Men of Jesus"

and there is an advert in the UK for the Punto Grande car that destroyed a Marilyn Manson song that I actually like.

Just about all of the used (pardon me "pre-owned") car commercials. The guy yells and exhorts you to BUY NOW! Which brings to mind the infomercials of "BUT WAIT..." fame. :curse:

***Forgot to mention Billy Mays of Oxyclean and Orange Glo and......
I recall someone suggesting, comedically, that the car ads all have an announcer shouting at us, while flashing huge numbers on the screen to make sure we got the message...which seems to indicate that dealers want to sell cars to people that are nearly blind AND hard of hearing as well... :yikes:

:thumb: yeh, I can't stand that blithering loudmouth Hays either...

New addition, all pharma ads in general...as Bill Mohr says, "If you have to ask you dr for drugs, isn't he just a dealer?"

Specifically, the one ad that says, "Tell your doctor if you have advanced liver disease..."

Whoawhoawhoawhoawhoa...I expect my doctor to tell me if I have liver disease...

It's in Canada, too. :(

There's a Toronto ad for Oliver's jewelers. The guy appears in annoying outfits, etc. acting like a car salesman. He buys and sells. He even says he'll buy your gold teeth. WTF?

Ha! I found a spoof of his commercial on youtube:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=lD3YfF4N2jQ

He references the gold teeth around 00:30

Eh? Those Pepto Commercials annoy me greatly... it's not so much the jingle as the stupid annoying dance they do as singing it.

i've been seeing a commercial for some diet pill lately - "eat all you want and still lose weight! if it wasn't true, we couldn't say it on tv!"

WTF? since when?

In the actual ad, Oliver tells you to bring in your teeth! My friend was watching with me and said, "How is that legal?"

Yesterday, Ellen read a viewer's email asking if she could stop the Empire Carpet commercials from airing during her show. Ellen then sang the jingle. LOL

538-2300. EMPIRE. Empire today.

So annoying.... though those new Geico Commercials involving classic TV characters (like the Flintstones, and the Beverly Hillbillies) are starting to get on my nerve as well.

What's getting on my absolute last nerve though (besides me cold), is myself.

"After your period...Rephresh...

After intercourse...Rephresh..."

And do you guys have annoying commercials about insurance?

"Honey, Todd just got life insurance!"

OR

Her: What's wrong, sweetheart?

Him: I was just refused life insurance.

She then goes on to tell him about a company that will insure him even though he's 700 years old and in ill health.

Needless to say, the production quality of such commercials is not high.

All political campaign commercials

The denture adhesive commercials with the old fooks singing "Bye Bye Love" badly out of tune...

That, & the equally annoying bad singing by senior citizens in the scooter chair ads...what, do people lose their ability to carry a tune in a bucket after their 75th birthday?

the ginormous logos and messages that TV stations put at the bottom of the screens these days. what the f**k is up with those!? i know what channel i'm watching and i know what show i'm watching, there is no need to remind me with size 563256754 type, a small semitransparent logo will suffice fine for copyright questions, tyvm.
What gives me the red ass is not the logo reminding me of what I'm watching, but the interminable crawlers advising me of what comes next or the "big event" show coming next month, that are always placed right on top of any superimposed text that's part of the show I'm trying to fuckin' watch right now!

All a part of the move toward making tv viewing all commericials, as near as I can tell...

Took me the last 20 minutes or so to dig up this thread, but it was worth the effort.

When mrs zoid informed me of Billy Hays' death, I shouted, "THERE IS A GOD!" while descending the stairs to the basement (probably an ironic metaphor there, but I'm not going any further with it)

scotzoidman

07-04-2009, 12:12 AM

And while I've got this one dug up, I'm growing increasingly weary of the annoyingly perky/sassy Progressive Insurance girl. Another one that would lead to cheers rather than tears at news of her death.

And now they're saying that Billy was coked up as well!

Somehow I'm not surprised...anybody that talked that fast, that loud, has gotta be stoked on something.

And, while I'm here, could the TV Guide channel give us more about the death of MichaelFuckinJackson? I'm afraid someone's gonna forget about him otherwise... :banghead:

Here, it's those stupid ads that come on around midnight that try to sell wankers naked photo's they can have delivered right to their mobile daily. The ad isn't so bad (tits -n- ass) but geeeez almighty, do they have to run the very same ad every five minutes. Some nights, it's so bad, that particular ad will air, another ad of similar nature will immediately follow and then the frickin' first one will run yetttt again!!!!!

Kids who have their head so far up their own ass they're not paying attention to what they're supposed to. One of my cousin's step children is a freshman in high school this year. He was supposed to be watching his two year old half sister. All he was doing was following her around listening to his cd player. She happened to wander over by my 100 lb. rambunctious dog on a chain. I had to stop what I was doing to get her out of there before she got hurt and I chewed him out for it. All the while saying he knew she wasn't supposed be over there, but had no excuse for not removing her from the situation before something happened. If I knew I wouldn't have gone to jail, I would've dropped him like a ton of bricks.
