OT: Most annoying commercials?

Submitted by DISCUSS Man on

depending on the network (ESPN), commercials can get overplayed and cause people to hate them and turn on them really quickly.

Prime example is the Pitbull commercial during the 2011 football season that ESPN played non-stop. Don't even remember what the hell it was for. All I remember from every commercial break was "LET'S......HAVE A REAL GOOD TIME, LET'S HAVE A REAL GOOD TIME".

post the commercials you love to hate. i'm guessing i'll see many mentions of that annoying broad from progressive.

Most GEICO commercials, as they have absolutely nothing to do with insurance and why I should get Geico, which is really annoying. Honorable mentions are "Head on, apply directly to the forehead", and the Wendy's Asiago commercial, as they are two that particularly annoyed me. There's something about a woman yelling at a sandwich on a motorcycle that I found too stupid.

They aren't clever or funny. In fact, they are juvenile. I especially hate that annoying pig. Can't believe this is the best Madison Avenue can come up with.

now that I'm fixing my triple post I might as well note that JJ's should work on being freaky accurate instead of freaky fast. Their subs are palatable if the flunkies behind the counter could get them right. Not everyone likes mayo, people. It's Hitler jizz. Keep it the fuck away from my food.

but I'll quickly comment: First, I could have linked worse but those popped into my head first. 1) Maybe the worst as the parents are in literal FEAR of their child's reaction to not getting his sugar cereal that he basically demands from them. The parents need their ass kicked. 2) The mother shouldn't have asked & if asking to help bring in the FREE food that kid gets to eat she should beat him within an inch of his life for replying that way. Instead? She takes it and bribes with Diritos. Both parent & child need a beatin'. 3) The kid leaves the phone in the freezer?! First he's you blind to find the box but then he basically leaves the mother on the hook as he leaves the phone IN THE FREEZER! lol. All those pussbag parents & kids need a good ol' fashion James Cahn trash can Godfather style beatin'!

I'm Dan Newlin....

And any other ambulance chaser pretending to care.

 

EDIT: And if you listen to sports raidio, that commercial with the lady going on about how her dog was dying of a yeast infection.  I don't know why, it just kills me and I have to change the station.

I second the earlier post about the door bells.  My reason is the my dachshund(Loki) goes batshit crazy thinking someone is at HER door.  It takes 2-3 minutes for her to settle down.  Whew!!!

The one for Jublia, the medication for nail fungus. Having a big toe wear a football helmet and lumber down the field is not really a visual that would make me rush out and buy the product, should the need arise.

The only good thing about the commercial is that I've mentally re-named the big toe Sgt. Hulka. So at least I get a cheap laugh out of it.

I hate the medicine commercials that have laundry lists of side effects "Side effects may include, nausea, depression, sterility, liver failure, nightmares, and sometimes death..."  


Treating a toenail fungus can come at quite a price. Who knew?
