Most irritating TV commercial you've ever seen

What about Chevy with "Like a Rock"! UGH!

 

I've been boycotting OSH ever since seeing this commercial!

Jon, oh yeah! Me and my girlfriend hate that commercial because he sold out so fast. Lost a lot of respect for Bob Seger at that point.

Why ruin a good song.

 

Matt, who is OSH?

 

Ford has some of the most annoying auto ads on the air, and they have for years now. Gee, no wonder they're near bankruptcy. The Queen ad was particularly offensive and insipid.

Kid Rock for Coors beer in NFL stadiums. Mute button every time. I never even understood what he was yelling for the longest time. He looks like a clean-shaven Hank Jr. in those commercials. "Somebody's Gotta Feel This" ... Yo Kid, how about someone throwing one o' those cups o' piss water back in yo' face? Feel THAT!

McDonald's "I'm Lovin' It" -- I'm not lovin' it.

But the one series of commercials that was so bad it made me boycott the company were the Holiday Inn commercials with that unkempt male idiot who would crash at his parents' home, start bossing them around, with some sort of punch line about Holiday Inn. Those were insipid. And there was a whole series of 'em!

 

I do like the Dodge Trucks "Hey, that thing got a Hemi?" series of commercials. No music - that must be the key.

 

I HATE that new Old Navy commercial with L'il Kim("You in da hood now, baby!"). I don't know why, I just find it very irritating.

Queen Latifah's "Cover Girl" commercial.

Money!!!!, Cash, Coin, Green Stuff, Bills, Food, Shelter, Habits, Needs, Wife, Kids... Those "Royalty Checks" come in handy...

 

I haven't seen it..but I know I'd find it very irritating too!

 

These are the same people that fry their eggs in a quart of oil. Remember that one? - "no more messy eggs"

 

Orchard Supply Hardware. A pretty major chain around here, but they may just be regional.

Today is a bad day to have diarrhea...So when is a good day to have diarrhea?

Old Navy commercials

 

One I'd forgotten about (and was reminded of this evening) is the commercial for one of the airlines (Northwest?) where we see a bunch of angry-looking business travelers barking at the camera (in a series of rapidly-edited shots) that "I need flights...I need miles...I need perks...if it wasn't important I wouldn't be flying halfway across the country...you got a problem with that?" It's basically an "attitude" campaign that might be effective for the hard-driving corporate types it's aimed at, but really puts me off.

 

The one I hate at the moment is the shopping.com commercial where the guy finds out he overpayed and beats himself up.

That gets old after the 10th time you see it.

 

The Infone commercials with a close up on some guys face while he explains how Infone saved him from dire circumstances.

This guy talking on the imaginary phone. I want him to shove his finger into his inner hear and rupture his cochlea.

 

From about 10 years ago, CBS Sports had a bald fat guy sitting around his couch watching football on TV, then he suddenly breaks through the third wall, looks right at the camera, and exclaims:

"I'm a BIIIIIIG fan!"

Repeated endlessly. ugh.

 

Speaking of football, that whole Coors Light "here's to..." series, which is featured prominently during sports telecasts, has gotten on my last nerve. Those twins, along with that ****ty band that accompanies them, can go jump of the nearest cliff, pronto.

 

I just thought of another one that justs reeks of pretentiousness - the Turning Leaf wine commercial where the guy is preparing the perfect gourmet meal for his girlfriend/wife and finishes just as she walks in the door (or in another one where she meets him on the rooftop). Gag me with a spoon indeed...

 

Any commercial for Old Navy is unendurable. A chimpanzee wrote the copy for those abominations. I'm also glad that Carl's Jr. finally stopped showing commercials of people eating noisily for thirty seconds. They should hire the ad agency Jack-In-The-Crack uses.

 

I'll second the motion that the latest McDonald's "I'm lovin' it" campaign as one that I ain't lovin'.

Here's one from the '60's that I'd forgotten about until my wife reminded me of it:

The Shake 'n' Bake ad where they have a little girl with an unbearably phony southern accent saying: "And ah hayelped." I'm so glad that they don't show that one anymore.
