I used to enjoy watching Geico's commercials...however, they seem to be losing their creative touch. The current Geico commercials are bizarre (IMHO). Bring back the dancing gecko!!

I kinda enjoy the pillagers in the Capital One commercials, myself.

I like the one with Charo, but the rest aren't too great. And I detest the "head on" commercial. I mute it every time.

All commercials for drugs should be banned, most are too coy and irritating anyway.

I liked the Raisin Bran crunch guy (who played multiple parts, male and female in the commercials), always wanting to fire Johnson.

"Meow Mix" gets my vote for worst in the history of commercials.

That Digger the Dermatophyte commercial grosses me out totally.

I love the one with the dachsund and his little dachsund shaped stuffed animal.

Do you know how I could find out the name of the actor in a particular commercial? There is a new one out by Progressive - gray-haired man with the "black box" telling you that you don't know what's in the box. I think I know the man, but have tried to find out how to get his name and have come up with nada.

I hate Bob and his erectile dysfunction ads. Although, I keep wondering how someone can go through daily life after being in that commercial.

There is one commercial I have always liked...its not new, I think its been around for a few years, but they run it only when it gets near to the time when the kids are getting ready to go back to school...I dont even remember who the commercial is for...but music starts to play, and its "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year", which is of course Christmas music, but in this commercial that song is played at the return to school time, because it shows that either the mom or the dad are delirous with joy at the prospect of their children returning to school...the children however, are glum looking and quite sad, and look shell shocked, that summer is over, and its time to return to school...

Personally, I scream back at the tv whenever one of those inane "tell me" commercials for BP comes on.

My all time favorite is the Geico commercial with the Cavemen.

I have absolutely never figured out what Head-on-applied-directly-to the forehead means. I also have never seen this for sale anywhere, nor would I buy it because I have no idea if it's for impotence, infertility, stupidity, low bank balance,high blood pressure, none of the above.

The people who make these commercials think that if they annoy you enough, or are obnoxious enough, or insult your intelligence enough, you will buy their product. They must all be Democrats.

Advertisements are criminally-sneaky, and they invade your home with subliminal messages.

I only have one thing to say about that "Head On" commercial...

Most.
Annoying.
Commercial.
Ever.

A female voice repeats "HeadOn: Apply directly to the forehead!" three times

jeez, I'm glad to see this post. I thought something was wrong with me when I get so upset when watching that commercial. I switch channels immediately now when it comes on. I JUST HATE IT!!!!!! Her voice is irritating and reminds me of the voice on all the automated call systems at so many companies and organizations, doctor's offices, dental offices, customer service offices, government offices. That voice is so irritating that I just can not listen to it anymore. There is no way in hell I'll ever even consider buying that product.

A few weeks back a FReeper wrote the following:

MOAB.... Apply directly to the terrorist.
MOAB.... Apply directly to the terrorist.
MOAB.... Apply directly to the terrorist.

I'm still chuckling over that!
