TV commercials that drive you nuts

OK, what TV commercials really bug you? Make you want to scream at the TV every time you see them? Leaving aside the stupid dads and always white burglars, here's a couple that I see all the time lately...

[redcatcherb412]

The Blue Nile Diamond commercial where it has the song? Or an attempt at a woman singing a song that has a voice like a cat with a tail caught in the blender. It sends me diving for the mute button every time. They finally have 2 different commercials with actual singers, but sneak the shrieker in at the times.

I record every program I watch so I can fast-forward through all the commercials. But the one ad I cannot stand is the stupid one by Liberty Mutual: "You owned a car for 4 years. You named it Brad. You loved Brad. And then you totaled him."

Argggghhhh!!

[Conan the Librarian]

Any of them that use the word “Technology” when they should be using “techniques”.

“The technology in our washcloth will get you extra clean!”

Sorry, that is just so wrong.

The list would be shorter for the ones that aren't annoying but here's a few: Every one of the Liberty Mutual Insurance commercials make me want to go all Elvis on the tv. Is that one with the oh so gay kid who had a wreck in the drive thru one of their commercials? It's the worse. What's with all the diversified marriages and biracial kids? It wouldn't matter what race the little girl on the Eggo commercial with her name on the waffle is, but she's freaky scary UGLY. There's a local car dealership commercial ("Billy Boyd, y'all!" - just shut up already) with some country singer, can't remember his name - ok, it's Kevin Fowler. Had him on for so many years my finger automatically hits the remote. Another dealership in Austin has the wife practically yelling at you, dressed like Moo and flaunts her hooties. Those freaky little monsters on the old Quiznos sandwich commercials turned me off their sandwiches quick. Same with the Kia rats. The Vince Young Steakhouse (Austin, TX) woman. Nearly as scary as the monsters above. She's so fast talking and demanding that it's hardly a place I'd ever want to enjoy a meal. She'd be a great Nazi, dominatrix, dictator, etc. Some medication ad with the little kid at the end who sort of lays his head down and gives the camera a come hither look and says all seductively, "And no steroids." Seriously? Talk about Hollywood and child molestation. I holler at that commercial every time. It's sickening.

The First Mrs. Lurkin named her cars.

Those were the days.

[Mr.Unique]

Anything with loud eating, crunching , and slurping.

It's rude, not advertising.

I just posted about the same Liberty Mutual commercial. I should have read down a little further before I'd commented. That is one stupid commercial, as is the one that starts with: "You totaled your brand new car. Nobody's hurt, but there will still be pain."

And this one: This woman labored over finding the perfect car. She researched and made spreadsheets, and then when she finally bought the car, she crashed it into a tree, and totaled it. Dumb a$$.

Have you noticed that even though blcks make up 11% of the population they are in 100% of the movies, most tv shows and most ads. They are way overrepresented.

Most commercials drive me nuts but lately it is the LIBERTY MUTUAL commercials that have me grabbing the remote.

[mass55th]

"All ads for prescription drugs."

Because after hearing about all the side-effects that may come along with using the drug, I yell at the TV and say, Thanks I'll just deal with the health problem without any meds.

The pillow commercials are annoying mainly due to them being on half a dozen times an hour.

Ahh the good old days of commercials

RIP Farrah!

[Scarpetta]

Any ad featuring spoilt, precocious brats.

Any ad where a child/teen is lecturing us in an earnest toned voiceover (a la Panera Bread).

Whoops, YUP JG Wentworth...the WORST
And here i was thinking the liberty Mutual commercials...

[mass55th]

I like Geico commercials. Remember, they gave us the caveman commercials.

[mass55th]

"I lost fifty peyunds on nutri-system."

Any commercial with Oprah in it.

[djf]

Yarghh!!!

This IS NOT BECAUSE I HAVE SOME KIND OF PROBLEM WITH THE DISABLED but..

The Shriners commercials with Alec the wonder kid man oh man oh man I can’t tell you the number of times I almost shoed my tv...

And the various wounded veterans beg-a-thons, man how many places do we have to have ANOTHER save-the-vet commercial?

“”Old but “l’m Cal Worthington and here’s my dog spot”””

That’s funny - I didn’t know my husband was losing his hearing that far back but he used to insist he was saying, “Pussy cat. Pussy cat” while I tried but failed to convince him that’s NOT what he said...
