- Non-hate: I think "Baconalia" is pretty clever, though I''m afraid the allusion wasted on most of Denny''s customers.
- The commercial where the girl starts screaming when she sees a tarantula spider on a guy''s cell. Her screaming gives me a headache.
- I download anything I want to watch. No commercials for me.

More important, who still watches television?
- Political ads by GOP politicians I hate.\
\
So cheesy, so smarmy, so bile-inducing.
It''s election primary time in my state -- ugh!
- THE FUCKING MORMON CULT COMMERCIALS!!!!!\
\
You know, the ones with the pod people saying they''re just like us but of course they''re not, and no one ever bothers to get around to explain one fucking thing about Mormonism. \
\
Oh, that''s right. Because it''s a cult, and that''s how cults operate.
- The trendoid slacker man who screeches at the end of every commercial for the fast food shitshop:\
\
"It''s Good Mood Food!"
- Jiffy Lube, keep my ride alive!
- R4, I forgot about that one. THAT one''s the worst.
- any commercial about body odor, twat odor, shit crusted toilet paper sticking to your ass no matter how cute the animated bears are, vibrators, how your teenager stinks and how febreeze solves the issue etc.\
\
they''re all just vulgar.
- That bigheaded freak with a faceful of obnoxiously garish lipstick who sells online insurance will never go away. As if the insurance company she shills for actually has a physical shop where people can come in and discuss which insurance they want with an actual human being. \
\
But it''s mostly her freak head and frightening hair, adorned with a do-nothing headband that gives me the heebie jeebees.

- The Taco Bell commercial where the idiot guy screeches, "I won!!!!!"
- As much as I hate Flo on the Progressive commercials, this baby dyke on the Esurance commercials annoys me even more. Her co-workers are just as obnoxious.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iyXwfkwzWM
- The Tax Masters commercial on CNN. That guy is freakin'' huge. They try to de-emphasize his girth by filming him at 3/4 profile, but you can tell he''s spending all his client''s money on food.
- The phone commercial where the woman thinks she sees a real tarantula because the phone picture quality is so high. And she screams her bloody head off and most of the commercial is her screaming. I just want to slap her until she can''t move. That is the most annoying commercial on the air right now.
- Then there is the car commercial where the bratty curly-headed little boy watches his friend in another car with his parents singing in the front seat. The kid asks for help and brat boy turns away commenting how lame it is and how he should have a SUV with a back seat entertainment system like this kid has. Making that kid a post child for entitlement makes me wish the auto company would go out of business.
- The Taco Bell ad is annoying, but the guy is cute. He was also the Num Yummy guy on the Campbell''s soup ad and is the third in the "Does it really take two to tango?" insurance ad.
- The Coors Light ad with Ice Cube. "You think you''re colder than ME? Turn on the radio, who do you hear? ME! Turn on the on the tv. ME!" Can''t tell you the last time I saw the guy on television or heard him on the radio.
- The most annoying is the "Living the High Life" ads with the arbiter of all that is good and decent, an obese beer delivery man.
- The one with the kid in the denim diapers.
- You must watch a lot of tv, r17, since you apparently don''t read.

- The "Hey, Marcel" commercial has me running for the remote. I don''t need these idiots yelling "Hey, Marcel" at me several times in a row. I think the commercial is for some cable tv service. %0D\
%0D\
Another one I hate is were the guy keeps repeating "She was forty-three years old". Yeah, I know he wife died of cancer when she was forty-three years old but gosh what a horrible ad. I think he repeats himself about 4 times. %0D\
%0D\
I used to be in the advertising industry before the recession so I sort of enjoy creative ads, but the annoying ads make me cringe. Unfortunately, studies show we remember the annoying ads more than the entertaining ones, and therefor the advertisers want to create annoying ads
- The obnoxious SUV kid, as mentioned.\
\
"Pudding face" the face is creepy.\
\
A local ad in Nashville featuring a screeching girl proclaiming "Hurt bad? Call my dad!" They do one every year, but this year the decided to do a retrospective and put 5-6 years worth into one long screaming string.
- I don''t know what the product is (since I can''t stand the commercial) but it''s that couple on the beach where the husband says to his wife, "You look like a beach angel" and she screams really loud in glee. I want someone to dump sand on her.\
\
And my partner and I loathe that curly-haired entitled brat in the SUV. I want so badly to see some other SUV smash into his and kill that stuck-up little twat!
- "The one with the kid in the denim diapers."\
\
This Pampers ad was initially banned because of the line, "I poo in blue." \
\
I''m not sure if the same voice over is being shown in all markets. \
\
In NY, the original commercial is now back on. It''s actually pretty clever.
- Another vote for "Hey Marcel!" Seems like that one has been in rotation for far too long. Hey Marcel, GFY!
- The extremely annoying Muppet faced woman, from the no longer being shown 1-800 Dentist commercials, where she is chattering in the elevator, is now on about two or three other commercials. Her face and voice make me nuts.\
\
I have no idea what these current ads are for, but I can''t stand her.
- The Rachel Bilson ads for some chocolate bar make me want to murder everyone involved.
- Anything with Ashton Kutcher.
- I''m probably the only one here not impressed with those new Chrysler commercials with the tagline: "Imported from Detroit."\
\
Beyond contrived! \
\
Hey that''s not clever copywriting, you bloody twit! \
\
I retired from the advertising business and sometimes I see creative that just makes me want to round ''em all up -- the brand managers on the client side, the copywriters, the broadcaster producers, the art buyers, the whole lot of ''em -- and horsewhip them in the plazas in front of their buildings.\
\
Those animated bears for that asswipe paper company make me hurl too.
- Jennifer Hudson in the diet commercial riffing on Feeling Good which was sung so purely and beautifully by Gilbert Price in Roar of the Greasepaint.
- The Wendy''s commercial with that scary baby slobbering over its food. Cut to the trashy fat parents slobbering over their nasty Wendy''s hamburgers. Cut to the scary baby slobbering and rocking its head in CGI. \
\
r30, muppetface is one of the most annoying faces in tv advertising today. She''s referred to up-thread in the Esurance post, and I''ve seen her mug in a dog food commercial. She looks like a cabbage patch doll.
- I''m so glad the cable TV ads with the fat ''reggaeton'' singer screeching what seemed like forever repeating the number to call for service, are no longer on! Talk about running for the remote.\
\
The guy sounded like he had a throat filled with phlegm! This was one of the worst TV ads in all advertising history!\
\
There''s also a local TV ad for some co-op, or condo, in Brooklyn, which is being marketed to hipsters, it''s annoying and nauseating. Now entire lifestyles are being built around these idiots?\
\
This ad is usually shown late nights during NBC''s weekend lifestyle shows or during NBC''s Open House.
- The one for the online "college" scam with the girl "learning in [her] pyjamas!"
- Agree on the Ashton Kutcher camera commercials, esp. the latest one with his stupid floppy hair. I would go out of my way to NOT buy one of those cameras.\
\
And it''s Toyota who does the commercial with the snotty little kid who turns away from his friend as the car pulls away. That ad bugs on so many levels, the first of which is the elitism that is so plainly implied and the second of which is the fact that the kid is driving around his neighborhood but still feels compelled to have to watch a video for a 5-minute ride. And the most ridiculous thing of all is that just about any SUV or van has that option these days, as do many cars, so its not even something unique about Toyotas.
- The gerber grow-up plan commercials. I think it is sick to get a life insurance policy on your kid.\
\
All of the tampon/pad/fds/erectile dysfunction commercials. I don''t want to hear about that shit while watching TV.\
\
The baby bullet food processor commercial. The mothers are so fucking annoying.
- "it''s that couple on the beach where the husband says to his wife, "You look like a beach angel" and she screams really loud in glee."%0D\
%0D\
Actually, I think that one is funny, especially the part where their "genius" son is wandering the beach with a plastic bucket on his head. So sue me.%0D\
%0D\
And I haven''t enjoyed an Old Navy commercial since the Clare Donovan days.
- No love for Ronnie Deutch?
"I''m Ronnie DOYYYYTCH!"
- "Honey, could you toss me some toilet paper"?\

Anyone in the Midwest (mainly Chicago) will agree with me. Cheesy. Bad acting and sadly, in heavy rotation:

On a positive note, I''m so glad they canned Megan M. doing that "Turn The Churn Around" debacle (possibly the worst and laziest substitute lyrics ever) and replaced her with an overacting but sensibly blocked Kim Catrall, even if butter tones are not her best outfit color.
"Takin'' ''bout nutri - tion"

- 66 replies and no one has mentioned that ridiculous McNugget commercial?
- The black guy who screams about giving up going to Home Depot and instead going to Ace Hardwar because HD is too, too big. His voice is annoying and I want one of his neighbors to shoot him.
- The commercial I''m hating the most right now is actually a promo for a Fall show called "Whitney." I don''t know who that bitch is, but her show looks like the unfunniest piece of shit since...since anything Seinfeld''s done post-"Seinfeld." And I doubly hate the preening photos they show of her at the end of the promo. Bonus points for the fugly, unfunny husband.
- I want to black the eyes of Antoine in the "Blinds to Go" commercials.
- The ones where Carrie Fisher comes out as a lesbian. \

At least, that''s the only reason I can think of for her to be dancing in the background singing "I''m eating Jenny!!"
- The one for Gillette with that annoying douche who used to be on early seasons of MadTV.

When I first heard her singing, "I''m EATING Jenny", I was like WTF? Plus, she doesn''t look as she''s really lost 30 pounds.\
\
My mom was visiting, saw the commercial and even she was laughing, "She''s EATING Jenny? Ha-haaa!"

A cousin knows one of the lawyers. I couldn''t believe how bad these ads are, perhaps they are so bad, the people involved figured that was how to accomplish the firm getting stuck in a viewer''s mind?!\
\
No, the lawyer is not ''hot''. He''s a family friend of my cousin''s, he''s str8 and married.
- Love the beach angel commercial; hate the commercials but Kutcher is hot! Pudding face is irritation itself. But Ronnie da-big-dyke Deuch is the worst.
- What''s wrong with Jennifer Hudson''s legs? She still looks like a ten lb. package in a five lb. bag! Trussed up in that sheath she looks like mermaid girl with those crooked gams pokin'' out underneath. Is there really that much difference between fat ghetto and thin ghetto?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysfunNlHTbw
- The ones where the bank lady promises to save our debit cards from falling dominos are finally gone.
- I think the guy in the Subaru love commercial is hot.
- Another vote for the bimbo who screams bloody murder at her phone that has the tarantula photo on it and the dumbfuck who then smashes her phone.
- Not sure what it''s for, but the ad shows a woman and an Asian man coming into her apartment after a date. Her dog comes in the room and the broad says her dog can talk. The dude has to sit there with an interested smile on his face while waiting for the dog to finally get out the "words".\
\
I feel bad for the guy - he has a WTF look on his face after a few seconds of humoring this deranged female.
- The one where the mom tells her kids to "Get the fuck out" and "Mah-Jong!" over Oreos.
- The promos for ABC''s new series "Expedition Impossible", with that extremely annoying chick saying "We in the Sa-ha-ra, yo!"; she sounds so fake and forced. It''s enough to make me pray for that show''s failure.\
\
Here in Los Angeles, there were commercials all last summer for Universal Studio Tour''s new King Kong 3D ride; the commercial featured several ugly, harshly-lit people screaming and cowering in super slo-mo in response to the ride''s "scariness". Now there''s an even MORE annoying ad for the same ride, this time with a kid screaming in slow motion right into the camera for about 30 seconds, during which he for some god-only-knows reason "ages" from a kid to an old man. I dive for the remote every time.

- "The promos for ABC''s new series "Expedition Impossible", with that extremely annoying chick saying "We in the Sa-ha-ra, yo!"\
\
Looks and sounds like it''s cast with a bunch of entitled a-holes, based on the promo. Just the sound of that woman''s voice makes me decide I won''t be watching that.
- R87, it''s not so much that the dog can talk, but that the blonde chick keeps saying to the dog "We love our bank!" and the dog barks in response. The commercial is very stupid but what I find interesting about it is the casting. It''s one of the few times you will find a Caucasian woman paired with a non-Caucasian man. In the past, you would never have seen that kind of thing on a commercial. Companies didn''t want to upset the small minds of their customer base or create controversy.

Yes, the Expedition: Impossible adventure series, the ripoff of the Amazing Race.\

If the highlight of the show is the idiot woman saying, "We''re in the Sahara, there''s sand all over the place, YO!"\

- The one with the blonde Sarah Palin lookalike standing in front of the refrigerator debating whether to eat a piece of cheesecake. First, it''s going to taste like shit because it''s been sitting uncovered in the fridge, and second, eat it or don''t, but shut the goddamn door.

\
That''s one of the reasons why I can''t hate on the commercial. It casts the Asian man in a positive light and not to be laughed at like the disaster that is The Hangover Part 2. It is the white person that they''re asking the audience to laugh at, not the Asian for a change. It''s one of the reasons why I''m behind The New Girl. It casts the Asian man as the desirable player that Zooey Deschanel wants to date.
- The Target commercial where people are cavorting in the stores aisle, doing all sort of summery things -- volleyball, a slip & slide, filling a kiddie pool. All to the sound of "Pictures of Matchstick Men".
- Kit Kat. I don''t know why, but the repeated little snaps of the candy bar breaking is incredibly annoying.
- Oooh, I hate those annoying Kit Kat commercials too. Ugh!\
\
I immediately hit "mute."
- The demented "Life Alert" commercials. Especially the old perv with his arm around his muu muu wearing squeeze and her horrible Korean wig.
- I hate those denim diaper commercials where the baby is strutting around talking in a weird generic European accent talking about being a number one but doing a number two in blue....so fucking stupid.

- The Target 2-Day Holiday sale commercials with the obnoxious woman "training" for the sale are beyond annoying.
- Little tap dance girl on the LUNA commercial ..... I love kids an have a daughter but this little girl ERKS the hell outta me . Then there's the dish commercials with the idiots with satellite dish around there neck . Lastely the CORN DOG lady that try to act like she can sing .
- Safe Auto shame on you for exploiting the obese African American "Lady Rerun" in your Ads. I immediately get a mental image of the persons who are behind the commercial and the motives! Hmm.. Here, I get, insecure white female, perhaps attracted to or involved with black male, sees black female as enemy, have need to portray her unfavorably or held up as an object of ridicule!
I have the same perception of an old Kia Ad that features a potentially attractive black woman (uglied up -with a shabby dowdy outfit, hairdo & makeup) has spat with guy who drives away - she calls him they make up & hug- she says "We should get married" next scene he's speeding away! Msg implied? Black women are inferior, ugly and not good enough to marry. Consider Wall Mart Ad where they parade White Playboy type Models with glamourous makeup and hair strolling their aisles plus one average looking Black model sporting Afro. In a few seconds I could find a more attractive looking Black female in the grocery store to do this Ad! Tyra has proven that you can glamorize a Plain or unattractive female with hair clothes and makeup -IF you want to! Yet we get these same old messages, and the same old tricks since Aunt Jemima, and Mammy Belle! Well Kia, while running away from marriage can seem a typical male point of view - a male would not need the woman to be so frumpy. Unless he was gay! (Gay men seem to have more confidence and class to stoop so low - My bias showing?) Wonder how White guys react to Ad where Black male customer is portrayed as smart, attentive and "sexy" able to repeat Menu items verbatim vs White male portrayed as clueless dunce! Hmmm so now what? Do White men need another Ad to tell them how to compensate their women? Black men don't seem to mind being used to make White men feel inadequate- until it backfires -in a million ways - on the job, in a Court room, on a police traffic stop, etc... etc...
I just have to cite newer Kia "SOUL" Ad featuring rats in an alley dressed in hoodies like typical young Black men.. These Rats are shown scowling, lascivious, and looking like slimy, sneaky, thugs! Outrageous Blatant! insulting! I could go on and on... We should all be paying more attention because these images are repetitive, invasive and often have a subliminal hypnotic influence on our collective consciousness. These mean spirited messages harm us all. Advertising generates Billions so it's not too much to ask for vigilant reform and a modicum of character behind the messages.

- KIT KAT is by far the most obnoxious commercial the last few years. I deliberately stopped eating Kit Kats because of them and doubt I will ever eat one again. Each time I see them on the store shelves my stomach automatically hurts and I get extremely irritated. No commercial has ever made me feel this upset and angry. YES I know they make commercials annoying so they'll stick in your head but sometimes it backfires. It sticks in your head but it also reminds you that you hate this product and won't buy it. Anyway, obviously the commercials I am talking about is with the chomping, cracking, wrapper crinkling, people chewing like pigs, with all that crunching and weird Scromp sound when someone puts it into their mouths. I find myself turning the station every time those obnoxious Kit Kat commercials come on. Now when I see the candy bars on store shelves I feel nauseated and sick. I can't even bring myself to look at them. It's almost as annoying as when TV commercials include gulping sounds when people drink something like in a soda commercial or those Alive commercials when they swallow pills and you hear them swallow. Heck even if someone offers me a Kit Kat for free I will NOT take it. I won't even give them out during Halloween even if it was on sale. Kit Kat can go F themselves from now on!

- I absolutely despise Target's 2012 Christmas commercial...the girl and the guy act like stupid valley girls and have NO voice, singing a song where words are put together simply because they rhyme..HORRIBLE, and with so many talented people looking for work, totally unnecessary.
