We've talked about current commercials that annoy us....what are some commercials from the past that bugged the hell out of you?
I always hated those Melanie Griffith Revlon commercials where she would squeak "Don't lie about your age - defy it!"

I only remember the old ones I like. I can still remember black&white commercials that were great, 50 years later!
The awful ones, mercifully I have forgotten.

Those NyQuil ads in the '80s that had a guy with a cold waking his wife up in the middle of the night so he could whine at her until she brought him some NyQuil. Amazingly, she would do so rather than smothering him with her pillow.
Those '80s toothpaste commercials that always had an identified middle-aged woman walking into a family's bathroom to inform them that they were brushing incorrectly. Mom says "Well, what should we doooooo?" rather than calling the police to arrest the intruder.

What about those TV ads with neighbors on either side of their bathroom medicine cabinet?
I just remember one line an actor says in exasperation to his wife, "Barbara ...."
Have not a clue what the product was.

I don't know what it was for, some hair products maybe, but the one where at the end of the commercial the stuck up bitch says "Because I'm worth it!"

That was Cybill Shepherd, R5, for L'Oreal. The original entitled blonde bitch.

"Hot dogs. Armour hot dogs. What kind of kids eat Armour hot dogs? Fat kids, skinny kids, kids who climb on rocks. Tough kids, sissy kids, even kids with chicken pox..." There'd always be that one goofy kid at the playground who'd sing this chant, pointing at different kids who matched each description. I always wanted to be the "tough kid," but I always got chosen as the "skinny kid" and the "sissy kid." Two points. It's actually kind of funny now, but it was so annoying then.

Crazy Eddie's, a NYC electronic chain long out of business. He would shout and scream during the commercials. Also the OxyClean commercials with the deceased screaming pitchman Billy Mays.

This one, for Cheer detergent.
This time, it's not just a smart woman patronizing a stupid man; she's a thief, as well as a cunt. Some spokesperson. Yecch!

There was an awful Nintendo commercial where a fat kid sitting on a bench would hit himself on the head with a dead squirrel in order to see his game in colour.
