I absolutely hate the Sonic commercial with the two idiots talking about the food, and the same goes for the burger king commercial with the other two idiots in it.
I also change the channel when airhead flo comes on to hawk insurance. What a hag.

my choice is the GoDaddy ad where several ugly redheads never said a word but grunted while they pumped their fists in unison.. I'd never use their service after that... if their judgment is that bad to chose/allow that ad campaign, it would be extremely unwise to do business with them...they'd screw anything up.

Any fast-food restaurant ad with a close up of someone shoving a burger into their mouth. I find most Jack In The Box commercials hilarious, though I've never tried anything new on their menu because of them.

Every single tv commercial ever made ('cept for some of the ones you see during the super bowl.

Bad, no really bad, commercials and biased 'so called reporting' combined to drive me away from TV about the time the internet gave me an alternative. I don't and won't watch TV today. Election night I watched for about an hour and had to have a strong adult beverage in my hand to be able to do that. IMHO, TV .....IS THE VAST WASTELAND. .......

Guess you have never seen Carl's Jr hamburger ads

But besides those, I hate all commercials especially Ask Your Dr about xyz Meds!!

Everyone one of them is folks doing happy, wonderful fun stuff outside after an Rx of the new wonder drug!!

The Charmin bathroom tissue commercial and the bear family talking about how clean it makes them feel. Makes me want to follow the advice of previous posters and get rid of the TV.

After voting, we didn't watch the news the day of the election & turned off the TV at 9:30pm... we woke up at 3:30am.. I was in the living room trying to go back to sleep in my recliner.. 5 minutes later, the boss came in from the family room and started to talk about the election & I cut her off & told her if I knew.. I'd either be too angry to sleep or too happy to sleep... she just got a big smile on her face & told me good night... It took me 10 minutes of dozing to realize our nation's future had been saved because she was smiling & not crying. We thank the Lord...

I have a rule...I will never take a drug where the list of side effects takes up more time in the commercial than the benefits of taking the drug.

Another rule: I won't buy products where the commercial has some sort of subtle political, social engineering aspect that is in no way related to the product being hawked. I don't care that you installed solar panels because you care about the planet when you just want me to buy your widget.

They could at least give us a change once in a while. On the other hand,
there are a few that do not turn me off. In fact a couple of them even
turns me on a bit. I agree with bgrafsr about those two on Sonic's
commercial. I would never go to Sonic just for that reason.

it took years, but I have finally mastered tuning out commercials except on the pursuit and outdoor channels when it involves firearms/ammo etc. lee

The last 5 years of Colonel Sanders commercials, have been just stupid, somebody needs fired.

I'm soooo tired of those Farmers Ins. commercials too.

And why is the Burger King a big giant plastic head that doesn't talk? just dumb.

Actually, I like the one where the blonde girl finishes up by describing what it said on page 5 of the policy as "Blah, blah.. blah, blah..blah blah, BLAH, blah". That is so accurate for most US business speak.

Back in the UK they largely stamped out that nonsense with the "Plain English Campaign". I suspect most US attorneys would have a fit of the vapors if presented with a UK document that was short, clear, and left NO room for argument.

That particular commercial just makes me shake my head We insure with Liberty and I have one of their policies...it is about a 1/4 inch thick. The font is about 8 point and pretty much it says blah, blah blah in legaleze for 40 or 50 pages.

the only good commercials were the original Miller Lite and Colt 45 ads. how many of you are old enough to remember them?

These are worst, most condescending, dishonest, and generally unlikeable commercials ever.

Not that I have any strong feelings about them.

My father owned an auto salvage yard and did a lot of business with Liberty Mutual. Despite that, he told me that they were the worst company to deal with if you were insured by them. Based on that, I've never considered using them.

Yes, especially since I had to leave them last year because they raised my rates 40% for being a 15 year, no claims customer. Ended up with another annoying TV advertiser- GEICO. At least GEICO quit with the super stupid caveman commercials.

Allowing the owner or sales manager of a car dealership or used car operation to do his own commercials should be a hanging offense.

"The Phillips lady" should be towed out to sea and left there.

ALL commercials sponsored by pharmaceutical companies offend me. Without exception.

And for weeks, twice a year during the enrollment periods, I'm bombarded with endless spots pushing Medicare supplement plans which I can't afford. Absolutely maddening.

Oh well, what the hell.

Unless it's a Carl's Jr car wash commercial I don't pay much attention.

Yes, those commercials for pharmaceutical products, especially one for ED, etc. But 20 years of no TV has spared me a lot...
Year ago my mother cut out a Ziggy cartoon which I still have on the icebox.
It shows Ziggy on a psychiatrist's couch, the shrink is telling him:
"Don't let it bother you. Nobody gets as much fun out of life as the people in the beer commercials."

Many, many......years ago I enjoyed the Hamms ads, from the land of sky blue waters! Early animation. Then the Budweiser horse ads, very entertaining. But what they make off of me from these ads is nothing except tickling my funny bone.
Of course Wily Coyote, Roadrunner, Donald Duck, Chip and Dale, Mickey Mouse, Foghorn Leghorn, etc. In the old original animation style are favorites! Notice the common theme, animals doing funny things. Maybe it did warp me as claimed by sociologists, but was simple, colorful, honest use of imagination!

I'll second that sentiment a couple of thousand times.

I make it a point to avoid any company that runs Christmas commercials before Thanksgiving.

All of them. If they had decent products they would not need to spend millions to sell the product. Take Apple computers as an example, they did very little advertising but until recently made very successful products.

Smith and Wesson made their reputation on quality product at one time.

I mostly turn the volume off.(mute) during television ads.

Most of the commercials are really stupid. But some of the standouts for me:

Chevrolet is still talking about their safety feature that mutes the radio until you fasten your seatbelt.

Those drug commercials. I think I will take the advice of my doctor over some ad-man.

The vast majority of the fast food ads.

The list goes on...

It's enough to make me wish we could have the UK's BBC here. No commercials and the programs that have made over here are usually far better than the US produced programs.

Any car commercial talking about it's in their "genes" or "DNA" (?).

Plants have DNA, animals have DNA, Bacteria have DNA, Molds and fungi have DNA even most viruses have DNA. Cars DO NOT!

I liked the "Hamms Beer, refreshing as the land of sky blue waters" ads. Since then.....nada

I liked the ones with Hannah Davis. Don't remember what the commercials were for.

I agree with all the drug commercials as a turn off. One would be better off to live with the ailment than put up with all the side affects. Depressed? Take this. It may cause your testicles to fall off or suicidal tendencies.

"The control freak" pitching National Car Rental. I'm supposed to like/relate to an obnoxious someone like that?

Do you mean the one where they had a stupid talking horse? I think she also did some sexy Carl's Jr. and Hardee's ads.

I forgot what the horse ad was about, but always remember seeing Hannah.


She married some sports guy named Derek Jeter, I think. I hope she'll still model. She may: many of the Victoria's Secret models are married.

I wasn't going to mention this, but the fact that another forum member would even know how annoying that song is!!!! It gives me hope.. It's not just me!!! You must have lived in S Fla a while then huh?? LOL

Others on my quick list:
Nationwide Insurance - not annoying, but not sold in Florida last I checked, so why would they spend so much $$ advertising here?

Progressive (huge commie support company) - Flo is so bad, worse than Santa's Enchanted Forrest, since it's a year round thing.

Sonic - used to like their food, but the new manager at the local one ruined that! Now there commercial spokesmen suck! Why would you show two 40-50ish men in a car trying to sell me food? How about this, just show their food on the window of the Camaro that Gas Monkey Garage built for them a few years back?! Tots, and a slush are mandatory!

Kay Jewelers - Why do I have to have your commercials flooding my football season!? It's not helping the American male population other than starting fights with their significant others!

While I like Chevrolet the commercial with the dude talking through his nose is so annoying.

ALL European car commercials try to be so deep they are actually shallow.

Charter and Trivago dudes are so irritating I do a self induced coma till its over.
