  1. The Sea World spots assuring us that they love their animals, and claiming their animals live as long in captivity as they do in the wild. I don't believe them. And even if they did, what the hell kind of life is it for a killer whale to be confined in a tank the size of a bathtub.

    That disgusting Juicy Fruit gum armpit commercial. It makes me NOT want to buy any Wrigleys gum ever again.

    This one doesn't really 'grind my gears' per se,
    but does anyone else think the singer sounds like Michael McKean, aka David St. Hubbins from Spinal Tap?

    The Go Daddy ad where the woman goes round screeching "Stick it!" at every member of her family...my kid had the misfortune of seeing that one the other day, now he's pointing his finger at his mum and I telling us to "Stick it!":shake:

    Even aside from that it's still one of the crassest TV commercials I've ever seen, and it doesn't help that the TV in the lobby of the hotel where I work is always tuned to CNN and they show the bloody thing every other ad it seems like...

    All of the local Boston area car dealer commercials, especially that annoying "Bernardi for now" jingle and the Commonwealth Motors ads.

    The commercial where the old guy is trying to take the Viagra pill and it ends up going into the gas tank of the car. Dumb ad.

    The commercials with the triumphalist characters c. the 'high credit scores'. If they have such good financial acumen, maybe they could be asked to pay cash.

    Yoplait Yogurt ads with the "Milk Cow". It's a spotted cow with a green hat, and it speaks with a MALE voice with a bad French accent.

    The Liberty Mutual auto insurance commercials with the Statue of Liberty in the background. Every one of them has an incredibly annoying actor delivering their annoying lines. I inevitably start screaming at them to go **** themselves whenever they are on.

    Especially the one who is talking about the car named Brad.
     
  19. You have something against transgender bulls who are poseurs with bad fashion sense? :D

    I find the end lines that imply that a man is no longer himself after he has a family to be extraordinarily condescending.

    I didn't know they said that and I'm not going to check. Haha I just can't stand how it starts off like a poem, then the guy's voice gets sloooower and so affected. It makes me cringe.

    The ad for an SUV where the family sings "Buddy Holly" by Weezer. Love the song; hate the ad. Have to quickly flick it off before it ruins the song for me.

    I HATE that 10 minute (or it seems like it) Xarelto ad with the NASCAR guy, Kevin Nealon and old golfer. God, I don't want to watch your stupid golf game all afternoon.

    These Ving Rhames Arby's spots just get worse and worse...
    This latest one has a grown man screaming: "Go Bacon! Go Bacon!"
    Ugh.
