Not sure that I follow, but the talking baby in the E*Trade commercials is hilarious.
hilarious? your dealer is clearly supplying you with a better grade than mine.
I know it's a stupid topic, but i was, for some reason, quite fed up with those dang babies. And that's when I was sober.

You don't think the E*Trade ads are funny? Especially the one where he pukes on himself. [laugh]
There are definitely some ads out there that need to die though, but thank god for DVR.
E*trade ads: [thumbsup]
Those damn personal injury lawyer ads... You know, the ones that are like "If you've been injured...." Complete the line with something that is reasonably risky to use like ATV's.

I'm pretty tired of the energizer bunny.... 20 years already... weak.
Smilin' Bob.
Jewelry store ads. [roll] Especially those that feature some dumbass blathering on about the fantastic assortment of colorless rocks that suck down enough cash for a down payment on a house or car. Idiotic brainwashing. >:(
I'm a woman and even I'm tired of all the commercials that make men look like assholes that can't do anything right...especially things of the domestic nature...not all of you are that dumb!!!!! I haven't done laundry in three years because my fiance does it all....and likes it!
PS sorry I can't think of any one commerical in particular right now that does this...but I know there are a lot of them.
PPS no my fiance is not a gay man in disguise he just really likes clean clothes [thumbsup]
The wizard alltell ads, they weren't funny to begin with and certainly are less funny now. Chad should probably choke on fire.

These make me pretty mad. (Though I am wound pretty tight).
I also despise any feminine parts related commercial: pads/'pons/tests.
Enough. I don't want to see a stream of piss hit a wand on tv ever again. Nor do i need to see examples of coverage and absorption.
Similarly, a car commercial with text so small i can't read the disclaimer makes me mad, and I believe defeats the purpose. It also makes me want to not buy those products.
And the $5 foot long commercials suck ass.
The Insurance ad (Progressive, I think) with the guy doing chores in Leathers and Helmet because his bike is still in the shop.
It is time for the Geiko Gekko to be eaten by the Aflac Duck (and for the Aflac Duck to be featured in a new Chinese Restaurant ad as Today's Special)
+1 on Personal Injury Attorney ads.

Hardees or Carl's Jr. (same franchise) had some commercials like that where guys couldn't make breakfast. But I thought they were amusing.

I concur.
I've never understood how anyone could possibly believe that it would take longer to pull out cash and get change than it would to pull out a card and wait for the card to run. In my experience, a credit/debit card transaction usually takes longer.

No.... I just see those ads as a giant lie. smiling happy customers and vendors. it's total bullshit. show the hidden fees, show the variable interest rate, show the dumb ass's making the minimum payment, and never making the ballance go away.
Anything with a singing puppy/kitten/cow/aardvark.
Especially that damn flea repellent one. [bang]
The only singing pet that should ever be in an ad is Morris the Cat saying "meow meow meow meow"
Talking, I can almost deal with... singing makes me want to throw my boot through the screen.

Any and all car dealership ads where the owner is dressed as a super hero or in local sports team attire.
Anything that is advertised but not avaliable where you live example: Sonic in New England.
Any ad for a car that claims an impressive 25+ mpg- My 1984 Jetta got 32 mpg, with 200k miles on it.

Yea I hate Sonic ad's WTF do they want me to drive to the west coast for a cheese burger? Why pay for ads in WI?
mmmmmmmm grape slushes
sonic sucks.. the drinks are OK, but the food is just crap and anyone can make a cherry lime ade.
If I hear "I'm loving it" one more time I'm going to kick a kitten.
I live in Cincinnati and we have a at least one Sonic and I am more east as you. Of course they must still not be around you making the advertisement worthless still. On the otherside, I actually think those are pretty funny.
The SoBe lizards are lame as well. The radio spot that has Thriller needlessly playing in the background while the lizard is on the phone with his dad infuriates me. MJ must be pretty broke to be lending out his songs for such stupid commercials. And don't get me started on Naomi Campbell's lazy kick during the thriller dance.
Sweet, merciful Jeebus, why has Free Credit report Dot Com (Comma Baby) not been mentioned?
First viewing: Catchy! I guess jingles are coming back.
Second viewing: Heh, cute. I wonder when this is going to get old.
....
1*10^84th viewing: Now. Now is when it is old. Old. Old.
King of all "Should never have been aired" ads:
http://www.youtube.com/v/UAbAIpZG7II&hl=en
I'll just go out on a limb here and say every ad that isn't for Victoria's Secret should be canned.
All of the "I have herpes" "and I don't" "and we want to keep it that way" commercials.
The commercial for some car insurance company that has a 20-something girl in it saying, "Yeah, I've had a couple of tickets, and some accidents, but I NEED my car." Yeah, apparently so you can hit more people?
I can very safely say that there are no Sonics within 2300 miles of my house, yet I see several ads a day. Partially my fault for turning the damn TV on in the first place, I suppose.

Great thread. Glad to get that off my chest ;D
Jewelry ads.
"How else can you make two months Salary last a lifetime..."
Blah-de-make the beast with two backsing-dah. I could go buy an 848 with the same coin-that's how.
every single radio advertisement in this sh!thole that i live in.
singing about tile, car windows, etc...........
[puke]
Easy. All of them.
Ads on TV, ads in movies, ads on the radio, ads in newspapers, magazines, and other print media, billboards, ads plastered on walls, ads on people, cars, trucks, and buses, ads on the internet, subliminal and superliminal advertising, and ads pulled by biplanes. It's all obnoxious, and a drain on society in general.

I so agree with this. My wife and I love Sonic. When we hit the road we always stop at one. BUT there are none in Maryland.
Whats next? Maybe they'll torture me with Wattaburger commercials.
Coors ads talking about cold activated bottles. Ok maybe I'd buy these beers if I lost the feeling in my hands and couldn't feel the bottle myself to tell if its cold. I buy beer for the beer not the bottle it comes in.

Hey now. There are a lot of people who have suffered moderate frostbite. Coors is trying to be accomodating to this segment of the disabled population. ;D
There are also a lot of immigrants in this country now that may not know that American beer is supposed to be served cold.
Of course, there is the larger section of American population that, through socialization, has lost all ability to do anything on their own.
What about if you are blind and can't see that the label changed color? Coors is discriminating against the blind.
we finally got a sonic within 30 miles, i don't like thier commercials for a diff reason now. because they are just plain annoying.
mcdonald's commercials need to end. all of them, in any form. especially tyhe new ones abotu the stupid chicken breakfast sandwich. good grief those ads make me want to firebomb mcdonald's everywhere. it's a make the beast with two backsing biscuit with chicken in it, IT'S NOT LIFE CHANGING AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FREEDOM YOU make the beast with two backsING RETARDS!
any beer commercial that paints guys as willing to do anything for a beer. the bud light ones are funny occasionally, the coors ones are jsut stupid (if you have to put some gimmick on the can/bottle to sell it then change your dam recipe and make good beer) miller lite stopped that stupid "man law" series so they won't be anger inducing until football season gets closer and they pull out another one.
there's one for the spca or peta or something that shows all the animals lookign sad or injured and has sarah mclaughlin speaking. that ad just annoys the shit out of me. mainly becauise a lot of the people that see it go "awwww, poor puppy/kitty/ferret/cute cuddly animal...why would people do that?!" ya know what..shut the make the beast with two backs up. if you are so moved then go out and rescue the animals and take care of them. and don't ask me for help because your heart won't stop bleeding. complain about somethign that you are willing to change, if you aren't willing to affect a change then piss off.
all the ads that try to make us believe that in order to make our female SOs love us more we have to buy them shiny things and if we don't then we will be ridiculed.

I saw a local funeral home spot, that actually mentioned the high cost of fuel as a reason to use them as your final needs source. [laugh]
What about the new ad for, umm, i don't remember the product name, but they always say it's "guaranteed to enhance that certain part of the male body." Since they never actually say "penis", how is one to know they aren't talking about, say, the Adam's Apple?

"Welcome to the Olive Garden cooking school in Tuscany"

Or is there a Tuscany in Florida? [cheeky]
OK. I looked it up. It exists. Perhaps it's time to start a new thread: Chain Restaurants that need to die.
p.s. Apologies for the minor threadjack. But then, it IS my thread ;D
the Geico caveman ads... done. the lizard is okay I suppose but his accent isn't as amusing as they 'fink it is.
also- any ad for house cleaning products where the people using them are smiling. who's ass are they trying to butter here? Nobody likes to clean the house. Nobody I say!
Any toothpaste ad that shows people brushing without toothpaste.
I'm probably not the only one that looks like they have rabies when they brush, in the world.

This reminds me of how much I hate commercials about peoples' teeth/mouths in general. I don't know many people who talk in such a way that the full row of bottom teeth show. Mouthwash commercials are icky too; I don't want to see an animated microscope view of all the little critters that live in my mouth. Ew.
What about the "Head On" zit cream commercials.....

Olive Garden right at the top of the list.

1) Any and all ads that feature the inept american male, this shit pisses me off
and leave the rednecks alone as well, the fact that it is ok to attack one demographic and not all of them is make the beast with two backsing disgusting
2) I'm tired of hearing the You-need-a-bigger-cock Extenze commercials
3) Girls gone wild is make the beast with two backsing disgusting, this is NOT what we need to be teaching our young women for make the beast with two backss sake
