What commercials grind your gears?

Best jump-out-of-a-ninth-floor-window material I've ever encountered, bar none.

 

The "old, fat guy with a bad wig" is movie tough-guy Danny Trejo.



The bit with Steve Buscemi is pretty funny too.

 

Be that as it may, this silly get-up isn't doing him any favors:

 

I haven't watched a TV commercial in about 30 years. When one appears, I mute the TV and read the newspaper until the show comes back. They insult my intelligence.

 

Jill is way, way, way too cute for me to hate that commercial!

 

Talk about it. I don't care that her car's name was "Brad" and that she misses Brad.

 

Cars for Kids ,years on the radio ,now on TV the most annoying jingle ever

 

Since you spelled it "cars", I don't think you've heard the jingle enough. You can't have the requisite level of exposure and not know that it's K-A-R-S Kars for Kids!

 

GEICO commercials really suck lately...

 

yea... especially when they try to "act"...

 

I agree...I do not like her...

 

I tried my best to remove it from my mind, and at least when its on TV I have a remote near by ,unlike the radio where I can't lower the volume fast enough ,yes you are right it Kars ,its still burned in

 

I just saved $180 every six months through Progressive so I'll learn to like her

 

That kid playing Peter Pan is just horrid..

 

Volvo commercial with the song Feeling Good by Avicii.
Not that it's a bad commercial or a bad song.
They just show it way too many times.
Every single commercial break.

 

On the flipside...

...the best commercials, IMO, are the ones for Southern Comfort "Whatever's Comfortable".

I'm not a drinker, but damn, those strange characters with their good music seem to be having a great time.

 

"You make me feel so young, you make me feel so spring has sprung."
...SO SPRING HAS SPRUNG?

 

Whenever the Nationwide ad with Payton Manning comes on, I reply "Nationwide is on my nerves."

 

I like my two Lincolns, but those commercials with Matthew McConaughey are hilariously bad.

 

I absolutely hate this damn commercial.

 

Especially the one about Brad.

 

One of the newer ones with Carnie Wilson is pretty clever. I think the joke goes over the head of most people.

 

The one with the bopping black woman? I find that commercial racist.

 

'As though Spring has sprung' is the correct lyric.
'So Spring has sprung' makes zero sense.

 

Agreed. The examples they use to attempt to explain that you shouldn't settle for a bad insurance company are just ludicrous in my opinion. "They only gave me 3/4 of the cost to replace my totaled car...do they expect me to drive 3/4 of a car?". Uhhm, no...they expect you to pony up the remaining 1/4 yourself to buy a new car, like most insurance companies do. I'm fairly sure they are a lot of insurance companies that offer full replacement cost as an option, it's just going to cost you more. The other big offender is "how can my car be worth X less dollars after I only drove it 100 miles?, My insurance company is terrible!". It's called depreciation and while it may seem (or heck, may actually be) unfair, the concept has been around as long as your insurance company if not longer.
