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 really like the one with all the cats. I love the dancing dog, the cat party while owners are away and surprise them upon returning. Animals in ads always get my attention.

Yes, only creepy, toenail-snapping Digger the Dermatophyte is more hated

Definitely on my list of commercials that cause me to immediately switch channels. It makes my toes hurt. It’s right up there with the Billy Mays ads. He’s very hard on my ears – and I really hate to be yelled at.
Head On doesn’t bother me a bit.

There's one for Smashbox cosmetics for QVC that has been running for days in our area 24/7 on all channels. Boy I'd hate to foot that bill. Very, very annoying!

My own favorite is the Citibank series in identity theft, which is mentioned in the article. It does an excellent and graphic job of explaining a complex problem.

My least favorite - the toenail fungus monster.

I almost feel bad that I can't participate in this pop-culture. It's been one and a half years since we got our Dish Network DVR. If I remember correctly, "commercials" are those things I skip over to watch the rest of my show, right?

Most annoying/irritating ad #1:

Any ad with "Billy Mays" (Oxy-whatever-it-is, Hercules Hook).

Can't this guy talk in a normal tone of voice?
Does he have to yell ALL THE TIME?

Geico's cave man commercial is pretty lame, then they went and played it to death.

I hate all Hardee's commercials - but I especially hate the one for milkshakes where two guys are shaking these big cow's udders.

The worst ad/ads ever are not TV and they are not new, Radio Ovaltine ads. I haaaaaaaaaaaaate them. Just perfect for all the uptight moms and Dr. Laura fans.
Teazing -.^

The wonderful violins on the Dow Chemical Human Element commercials always draws me in. It is so calming compared to the overloud, in-your-face music that accompanies most commercials.

No way, the new Geico commercials are hilarious ("Cranberry! Mashed potatoes! And grah-HAY-vy! Wooooo-hoooooh!") while the gecko schtick is starting to run out of ideas.

I'm convinced that "Head On" is a commercial completely backed by George Soros and aired only on Fox News to drive Conservatives out of their friggin' minds. I. HATE. THAT. COMMERCIAL!
