Yet another "commercials that annoy the hell out of us" thread

A blast from NYC's Past (And,it can stay there!) was the Crazy Eddie commercials of the '70's and '80's..you'd be sitting in bed,near sleep,then,WHAM! CRRRAZY EDDIE! HIS PRICES ARE IIINNN-SAANE!" Jerry Carroll was insane,too,for waking me!

 

Let's not forget the Money Store with Phil "the Scooter" Rizzuto.
Holy Cow!

Also "Hey Jerry! What's the story?" JGE

 

It's 100 degrees and nearly the 4th of July. It's time for Crazy Eddie's Christmas sale....

 

Oh,yeah,those always scared the Hell outta me late at night when I'm dozing off! Talk about an Alarm Clock on your TV!

 

With Chrysler having hired someone to use Dean Martin's Sway and play around with Deano's vocals in their recent 300c commercial, thought I'd drop in a note if anyone is interested in where they can find the best sounding version of the even more stylish original, un-manipulated version on CD to date: Capitol Collector's Series is the title...

 

"black taco"

 

for those in the cleveland area...

The Progresso Soup ads with people talking to each other with strings and cans. "Ring ring" Lame!

 

Been watching comedy central on the web, and, I gotta tell ya': this Blackberry commercial with "All You Nedd Is Love" is starting to get my dander up!

 

Resurrecting this thread since there is a current Prius wagon commercial that is just annoying the hell out of me.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I can't grab the remote fast enough to switch the channel or hit the mute button.

 

what a clever ad. I have not seen it before.

I did not listen to the audio. It must be the audio that is bugging you because the visuals are fine.

 

It's the singer and the damn song that is driving me crazy. Whoever told her she could sing should be.....well, you get my point.

 

While I'm at it, here is a local ad that also drives me crazy.....

I'd like to take that rubber chicken and....again, you get my point.

 

I cant even watch anything on the "big four" (abc-cbs-nbc-fox) I would end up doing an "Elvis" because of the commercials

 

OK, I played it again with the sound not muted - and I see your point.

 

This one doesn't really annoy me. But, the beginning seems a little creepy to me. Maybe I'm just a dirty old man.

I swear there was an edited version of this being shown for awhile with a different opening, but I haven't been able to find it.

It seems to be out of rotation now, but that corny "Ergo, you bought me a falcon" State Farm commercial...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7ZpWFTUz34

 

Those Everest College ads with the nonstop jabbering.

The Hover-Round ads with the old man telling me to "call right now".

The Ozzy colonoscopy contest commercial.

The JG Wentworth ads with people shouting "it's my money..."


The vast wasteland is full of stinking garbage.

 

That's so 27 seconds ago...

 

All of those ads where a group breaks into formation, breaks into song, breaks into dancing:thumbsdn:

Who are these people in the ad agencies? -- wannabe Glee cast members?

 

Game. Set. Match. I may never buy anything from this company ever again!

I never buy anything advertised on television, period. I'd be paying for the very advertising that drives me nuts.

 

I saw this one for the first time last night. I agree it sucks. I don't shop at Penney's now and these ads will just make sure that does not change.

 

Can't believe nobody's mentioned that UNBELIVEABLY ANNOYING Geico commercial with pig squealing on the zip line. When it comes on I have to switch it to anything else---fast. It's bad enough that they have a commercial on every station, every break, but it was better when they had 10 different ones with that bad "Trying to be Rod Serling" guy. I wouldn't switch to Geico now if it was the only car insurance company left! I will use a Hoverround!
