    I find it humorous when the commercials for drug therapy have the warnings of may cause death! LOL!

    Any of these old "milk does a body good" ads:



    or: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cepwDrWFaOU

    I drank milk every day when I was growing up, but did I end up with a great physique? (or even an "average" physique, for that matter?)
    Nope, I'm still the same scrawny toothpick I've always been.... the milk did absolutely nothing. :sigh:

    I'm annoyed by mistakes in ads, like Ford's spot with Dwayne Johnson at the end saying, "Wheels up, flaps down." CRASH!

    My latest one - the Little Caesar's "One More Time" ad. Gets on my damn nerves. I'm grabbing for the remote and mute when it comes on.

    And also that she drove "Brad" into a tree and her rates went up.

    To add insult to injury, people actually pay for the commercials. Truly amazing.

    Making me want to repeatedly slap the top of his annoying little head is certainly not conducive to getting me to switch...:)

    The one with the frowning woman talking about bringing home "the one" after researching "torque ratios" of all things really, really annoys me.

    Her whole persona screams " the fix up date from hell that you can't wait to end" ...:)

    Any commercial where the person dances while holding the product.

    yes indeed, and that's not the only reason not to switch... their prices suck as well...

    Couldn't Capitol One have found a better spokesman than Samuel Jackson?

    There are several commercials that have a ringing phone or a ding in the soundtrack. These irritate me since I end up thinking my cell phone is ringing or I have a text.

    Why would they do that since it draws my attention away from the commercial? I couldn't say which products are in these commercials.

    What is a "torque ratio"? Did she mean "gear ratio"?

    The female characters in these commercials are the ones you do not want to marry.
