Commercials we hate

[Incandenza]

Oh, I can't even watch that dog commercial with the sound off. Like I'll be at a bar and the damn thing comes on one of the TVs and I have to start looking somewhere else.

[Baby Shoes]

Maybe not just muting works.  Try adding circus music.  Especially at the bar.

[Richard]

How exactly is it unmanly to not drink Miller lite? Someone explain that to me. Also fuck that Dr.Pepper 10 ad with the "manly" action star. It's a fucking diet soda.

And why do men want a soda with 10 calories as opposed to none? Do all men want to be fat or something?

[Vitamin X]

I hate this one with a passion. These people are idiots.

[Kahran Ramsus]

Yes, I hate that one too.  I simply forgot about it until you posted it. 

I also hate the one that has been running recently for voice recognition software.  I want to say it is called Dragon, but I'm not certain.  Basically any computer commercial that is targeted at people who know nothing about computers is bloody awful.

This, absolutely this. The Miller Lite ads especially are like some kind of crazy propaganda.

[starvenger]

I hate those annoying Boston Pizza chicken wing commercials.  I keep hoping that food critic chokes to death on those fucking wings.

Yeah, the guy from the Oblivious show.  He's very good at being annoying.

[Youth N Asia]

I would really like for Capital One to abandon the barbarian ads. As well as Geico and the fucking cavemen.

I remember thinking this one was an ad directed towards guys trying to land shallow cunts



Another annoying one that I can't find. I want to say it's a Red Stripe commercial. And it ends with a couple of DJs yelling like assholes and blowing air horns into their microphones.

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

I don't mind the Capital One commercials all the much, mainly because it gives work to Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds and I could probably get a job in them.

I usually like the Geico commercials, many are clever and funny, but the cavemen ones have run their course.

["Dot Com" Matt Postin (heel)]

Get ready to want to punch someone in the face.





And the worst of the bunch

[alkeiper]

Those advertisements with the truck snowboarding down a mountain. You're selling a truck by showing it doing something it CAN'T EVEN FUCKING DO.

[CanadianGuitarist]

I wish I had seen this thread earlier, because I could chime in on every single fucking post to this point. But there's so many examples, I'm not sure I'd be adding anything. Carry on, gentlemen.

EDIT: Venk (who came up huge with the acne one) might have seen me bitching about this on Facebook a few weeks ago. Nonetheless, here it is:

Agreed, it says in the disclaimer "The truck cannot do this."

then...I don't get the point of the commercial one bit. It's simply a waste of time in the end.

Ok. This Cherrios commercial with six people sitting at a restaurant table is getting seriously irritating.

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

Yeah, it wasn't that bad when it first aired, but now I wish they'd all choke on their cereal.

[Smues]

Oh it's on motherfucker. I made it through all 3 hours of this:

So I'm prepared. BRING IT ON...HEADON!

[Smues]

I made it, though my brain is pretty much mush right now. This is what it sounded like as I went along:
1st hour: Head on, apply directly to the forehead.
2nd hour: Head on! Applied a wreckly to the floorhead.
3rd hour: Hehdon, a pledge of rat leeches the floor heh.
4th hour: Kill the non believers and do my bidding.

[Zetterberg is Go]

It was a sad day when CTV started simulcasting NFL playoff games up here. Five dollar footlong commercial every five goddamn minutes and bumpers for American shows they claim are "CTV's." Fucking awful.

[treble]

I love Jim Parsons knocking on my TV screen.

Five.

Five dollar.

Five dollar foot looooooooooong.

The endless ads for crappy tv shows that are repeated over and over and over are terrible. I'm not even sure how some of those are supposed to get someone to watch. There's one that's a 10 second clip of some girl saying "What if everything you wanted isn't enough" or such. What is that show even about??

[TheSSNintendo]

I didn't care for those Tanqueray (not sure if I spelled it right) liquor commercials.. Only because the guy had an annoying laugh at the end.

[Kahran Ramsus]

Just saw it while watching RAW, but I really hate the Visa commercial with the dumbasses complaining about an 'old dolphin' (which is clearly a manatee).   I'm not sure how that commercial would convince anybody to get a Visa card.

Yes. I mean, come on.

After about 3 minutes of ULTIMATE MEGA CHAMPION NO WAY I was rocking back and forth in the corner

[2GOLD]

The couple in the discount double check ad who just seem to be hanging out at a fucking insurance office need to be killed for the good of humanity.

[Beer Baron]

This.

[Gary]

ugghh

[New-New-New England Order]

That McDonalds commercial with the guy muttering "pickles" over and over is starting to get annoying.

[Youth N Asia]

This.

indeed. When you actually look into these sites and see how big of a scam they are it's even more annoying

[GAYGENT OF OBLIVION]

RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHRRRRRRRR DIE!!

[Venkman]

[Baby Shoes]

The commercial with Alonzo Bodden doing Stoke Awareness standup is starting to irritate me.  Stroke No Joke.

[Youth N Asia]

If you're in charge of any kind of company what so ever...how do you think it's a good idea to let this douchy spaz do your commercial?



I watch a lot of Sportscenter, and they show the bejesus out of this damn Lectric Shave commercial. If this "drill sergeant" is barking orders to his facial hair. Sounds to me like he's suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and is likely to find himself waking up along side of his wife giving her a sleep-walking choke hold... And I don't think that the whiskers would be that excited to be severed by a razor blade.

[CanadianGuitarist]

I hate those annoying Boston Pizza chicken wing commercials.  I keep hoping that food critic chokes to death on those fucking wings.

People think that's real. I know fucking people who think the guy, the society, and the terminology he uses are real!

[CanadianGuitarist]

This.

Took the words right out of my mouth. It's not the commercials themselves that annoy me, but it re-enlightens me to how stupid people are as a whole. Similarly, and I remember bitching about this at TOTSM - Diamond Shreddies. Here's a not great example:

I remember people seeing this when the commercials started in 2008, and subsequently saying "Well, I'll never buy Shreddies again! How stupid do they think we are! They're obviously the same! I won't support a company that thinks so low of its customers!". Guhhhhhhh.

[CanadianGuitarist]

I'd hate this too, if I didn't want to have sex with her. Which I do.

Not all these sites are scams, though. About a year ago I won a $50 Macy's gift card off of one of these sites for $4 plus $2 shipping and handling. I also know SkoreIt.com, which ESPN has commercials for, isn't a scam. It's actually a Better Business Bureau accredited site.

[alkeiper]

The girlfriend joined one of those sites. $70 later, we have a shitty Wiimote battery charger that she bought just to have something to show for it. I'm handling the finances once we get married.

[Kahran Ramsus]

Speaking of crooked businesses, I give you Money Mart.



Lowest Price Match Guarantee!

[Saints_Fan_H]

Shit I gave Restaurants.com 16 bucks and they sent me two $100 gift certificates to a local sushi place. The only caveat is you have to have a bill minimum $200 to use it. So we used it on my mom's birthday and fed 7 people on it.

Totally legit, still have one to use.

[Smues]

I see this stupid ad all the time when trying to watch something on blip tv. I think the message of the commercial is fucking retards eat Totinos pizza rolls. Since I eat Totinos pizza rolls that doesn't make me feel very good. I also like how they leave the phone in the freezer.

[Venkman]

I feel like I should throw Russell Oliver's "Cash Man / Loan Arranger / Etc." commercials here, but I kind of like them.

[CanadianGuitarist]

I don't hate it as much as anything else I've posted, but the most recent KD commercial: "It's my KD" "Well, it's my milk!" "Well, it's my butter" "Well, it's my bowl!". Share the fucking KD. There's a whole pot on the stove!

[Damaramu]

Anybody remember that AT&T commercial from a few years back with the girl talking about meeting a guy in a bar and giving him her number. Then she goes on about how she was blown away he put her number in his phone and thought right then that it wouldn't work because he was coming on too strong or was moving too fast or something. She was like "Whoa....I just met you and you're already putting me in your phone?" Like what the hell else are you supposed to do? Write the number on a napkin? That's what a cell phone is for you waste of space.

[Pináculo]

I hate the Doritos commercial where the guy sucks the other guy's finger, then rips off another guy's pants so he can stick his face in them and smell them.

[Gary]

Those dead eyes...
