View Full Version : More annoying commercials!
brownie87 07-06-2009, 01:15 PM Let's talk about some more annoying commercials. Like the latest featuring Flo from Progressive.com. OYE!! "Power to the people!!" She SUCKS!!!! And the new "Who rules the world: men or women?" for those adult diapers and the woman says, "Women rule the world...men are just here." Okay...how about trying this...men AND women rule the world TOGETHER!!! Internet dating ads. Give me a break! The new "Six Flags" ads with that creepy old dude who used to just dance around! Firstly, I've been to Six Flags against my will a number of times...let's just say I would much rather do what all those other people are doing before the old dude pops up. You know, the stuff that's supposedly "one flag". What other ads out there bug the crap out of you?
MickeyMac 07-06-2009, 02:56 PM Those free credit report commericals, and especially that dork who is in all of them.
TryN2BGood 07-06-2009, 04:45 PM The stupid one with Bob and his e.d.:rolleyes:
Those free credit report commericals, and especially that dork who is in all of them.
I was going to say those, but you beat me to it. The most annoying thing is that my mother thinks he's the cutest guy in the world. She just sent me a link to his facebook. Apparently he's single and would be the perfect guy for me :rolleyes:
brownie87 07-06-2009, 08:42 PM I also hate the ones with that Barry Bostwick dude, "I looooove the sound of my voice." Funny thing is, I used to think he was funny on "Spin City", now I just find him annoying. That Free Credit geek makes me want to punch the TV screen. And how about the eternally PMSing mom from the "Roll-Over Minutes" commercials???
PunkyP0WER 07-06-2009, 08:56 PM the first 2 were funny - the pirate restaurant and junky car rap one - but now they're just lame.
Big C 07-06-2009, 09:09 PM I define an annoying commercial as one endorsing a product I don't use or have no need for.
For me, that would be the FreeCreditReport commercial- not because I can't stand the guy, but because I don't need it, use it, or understand how it works.
Free Credit Report is useless. They will give you your credit report, but you have to join their little group to get it. The government will give you your credit report for free once a year. :rolleyes: The sad thing is, know one knows or cares. All anyone can remember is the singing pirate...
browneyes106 07-07-2009, 12:35 AM The freecreditreport commercials have always been annoying. I have noticed that in the past couple of months commercials for diabetes supplies and cathethers aren't on tv too much.
littlebelle 07-07-2009, 06:38 AM free credit report.com is actually not free. Funny... isn't false advertisement illegal?
Dusty's Fan 07-07-2009, 07:03 AM One I'm really becoming tired of: The "Justin Case" auto insurance commercials (just-in-case). ARRRGHH!
Penny Lane 07-07-2009, 11:53 AM Every Billy Mays(may he rest in peace) commercial. He was so annoying!
I love the freecreditreport.com commercials! Especially the first 3. I think that he is adorable!

I have to agree with you about Billy Mays. No disrespect to him but he was so loud and always shouting in those commercials. I thought it was really annoying.
brownie87 07-07-2009, 08:45 PM I know. I'm sorry the man's dead and all, but he was just too loud and annoying.

The lady from progressive.com is so F*cking UGLY-LOL
TVFactFan 07-07-2009, 08:57 PM Those free credit report commericals, and especially that dork who is in all of them.
A female friend of mine thinks the guy singing in that freecreditreport.com commercial is HOT-LOL
MickeyMac 08-02-2009, 03:53 PM Anybody see those Miller commercials with the delivery guy who is pushing his way through to deliver the beer and is constantly running his mouth? They are not only annoying but I find them somewhat offensive. It gives the idea that overweight black men are pushy, loud and obnoxious. Something that is absolutly untrue.
browneyes106 08-02-2009, 04:39 PM For some reason the Dell mini commercials have been getting on my nerves.
steevo 08-02-2009, 09:24 PM A lot of people seem to be hating on the Progressive commercials. While I agree with it, they are not the only insurance commercials that are annoying. Geico's commercials with the stack of money watching people is totally stupid and annoying and is starting to get on my last nerve as well. Also, Cure auto insurance with the talking dot (seen mostly on my local sports channels) is obnoxious and even utters the f-word in one of them (albeit bleeped). If you want to click on the following link, you'll see what I mean. :rolleyes:

I don't think he's bad looking at all, and I like the commercials lol!!!! :lol:
treky 08-04-2009, 02:54 AM I absolutely cannot stand those STUPID, ASSININE commercials for "SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURE" amusment park.
You know the ones, with that old guy, with the bald head and glasses; jumping up and down while that music's playing!! EVERY TIME ONE OF THOSE COMES ON I WANT TOTHROW SOMETHING AT THE TV!!!!

No offense, but I actually kinda' like those ads because he says some pretty funny stuff. And he's trying to get everyone to hang with each other rather than exclude into groups/cliques. But, I understand what you're saying. However, I can't stand all those Fiber One ads. "No, there's no fiber in this!" I feel like that guy is finally going to pop and say, "YES!!! THERE IS FIBER IN THAT!!! BELIEVE ME, AFTER EATING A DOZEN OF THOSE THINGS YOU AREN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET UP OFF THE TOILET FOR DAYS!!! SO, SHUT YOUR TRAP AND GET OUTTA' MY FACE ALREADY!!!" And I am also hating these gum ads which make it seem as though you will be transported into a whole new dimension, or become a better version of yourself if you chew a certain brand of gum. And all these yogurt commercials. Especially the newer one with the whipped husband talking to his buddy on the phone about all the stuff he's eating. It's almost the other one with the wife talking to her friend on the phone in reverse, but he's still the brainless baffoon and she's the superior being. I guess if they had him turn to her and ask, "Honey, what are you doing?" and they show her looking stumped, the folks at NOW might pounce all over it saying "This could be a potential domestic violence moment, so this ad must be yanked!" Sorry, I went off there, but I just get so sick of all these "smart women/stupid men" commercials and movies all the time. Not that I think women are stupid or anything, but I think we should see people - men and women - being depicted as equally smart, or equally stupid in that vain.
PrettyinPink55 08-05-2009, 09:38 AM The Viagra commercial that goes "Viva, Viagra" lol!!! Worst use of an Elvis song ever!!!
browneyes106 08-05-2009, 03:28 PM The Viagra commercial that goes "Viva, Viagra" lol!!! Worst use of an Elvis song ever!!!
I can't stand that commercial either.
PrettyinPink55 08-05-2009, 10:08 PM Oh, and the Activia commercials!!! LOL!!!
brownie87 08-06-2009, 09:00 AM Yeah, seriously, is Jaime Lee that desperate for work, to talk about people's poop? Honey, you still got it! Get back into films! And the new Dunkin' Donuts ad where that annoying little kid asks his dad to build a sand castle with him. That one's annoying because A) that little kid's voice grates on my nerves, B) the "dad" looks more like an older brother and C) the way the people making all these grand, collossal "sand sculptures" has absolutely nothing to do with selling iced coffee.
Ohio8 08-22-2009, 02:00 PM The lady from progressive.com is so F*cking UGLY-LOL
Her name is Stephanie Courtney.
catlover79 08-22-2009, 02:08 PM The Viagra commercial that goes "Viva, Viagra" lol!!! Worst use of an Elvis song ever!!!
AMEN!!! Any Viagra or Levitra commercial is annoying, actually. I love how commercials like that (or for incontinence, feminine products, etc.) are always aired while you eat dinner. puke: As I always say to my mom, "the nice thing about these commercials is that they're so subtle". Then she'll say "about as subtle as a Mack truck". :rofl:
brownie87 08-22-2009, 08:28 PM The annoying crap Oreo commercial with the father and son licking the cream and communicating via internet because he's away on a business trip. I know it's supposed to be nice and all, but this crap ad has been running for two years now and it's stupid. Since when are kids allowed to eat cookies that late in the day anyway? And the new Capital One commercials with all these mideival idiots. Not funny, but utterly stupid.
Big C 08-22-2009, 09:50 PM Since when are kids allowed to eat cookies that late in the day anyway? And the new Capital One commercials with all these mideival idiots. Not funny, but utterly stupid.
When do you consider it OK for kids to eat cookies?
Mr. Television 08-23-2009, 12:24 AM When do you consider it OK for kids to eat cookies?
I don't know. I always had a snack before I went to bed ...a tradition I still have to this day. It never bothered me any. :D
PrettyinPink55 08-23-2009, 02:01 AM Another one I can't stand are the KY jelly ads!!! :lol: TMI!!!!
blink 08-24-2009, 12:54 AM Her name is Stephanie Courtney.
I think she's cute! :eyes:
catlover79 08-24-2009, 08:31 AM Another one I can't stand are the KY jelly ads!!! :lol: TMI!!!!
:yeahthat puke:
browneyes106 08-24-2009, 12:12 PM I can't stand the NFL Play 60 commercials.
catlover79 08-24-2009, 01:05 PM I can't stand the NFL Play 60 commercials.
Yeah, those are annoying, too.
MickeyMac 08-24-2009, 03:35 PM Is there a commerical on now that isnt annoying???
catlover79 08-24-2009, 07:29 PM Is there a commerical on now that isnt annoying???
Good point. :lol:
brownie87 08-24-2009, 11:18 PM These damn Ritz commercials, most notable the one where everyone's playing "Jenga" with the Ritz crackers. Then these hair care commercials. The Neosporan ad with the moms in the park and one of the kids falls on his *beep* and does that horrible staged scream. The new Febreze ad with the guy having two girls visiting him in his room. This one is really weird actually considering the mom seems okay with her young son allowing a couple of girls to spend time with him in his room. Apparently she has no problem with her son being a pimp-in-training, but his room smells bad and she goes bezerk! Whatever!
oz615 08-25-2009, 08:53 PM Is there a commerical on now that isnt annoying???
Dos Equis Beer ads
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bc0WjTT0Ps
But as far as annoying ads goes
i say the Brinks home security ads really irritate the hell out of me,and really makes me mad quite frankly.
Tubehead 08-26-2009, 12:53 AM I HATE MOST OF THE GECKO COMMERICLS ESPCAILTHE ONE WERE THE MONEY STARIS AT PEOPLE.I HATE THE WIRELESS commercials YOUR IN A DEAD ZONE. I ALSO HATE THE WALMRT COMMERICAL LIKE YOU CAN SAVE MONEY. MY MOM ONLY BROUGHTFEW THINGS IT WAS KIND OF HIGH.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* 08-26-2009, 01:37 AM Although I made a thread about it, I will still mention creepy Palm Pre Lady. Woman makes me want to destroy things.

I actually kind of liked the gecko. I loved the commercial with him and some lady set to Dan Hill's "Sometimes When We Touch". :rofl:

THAT was a good commercial. However, the rest of the Geico ads are the ones that annnoy me.

Dude, the ad you like is for Castrol (?) synthetic motor oil, and he's Scottish. If he did that to me I'd clobber him and yell "THAT"S THINKIN' WITH MY FIST... ANDY!!"
Ohio8 09-14-2009, 07:41 PM I also hate the Geico ads with the cavemen and the lizard, the Progressive Insurance ads, and the Free Credit Report.* I also can't stand "Viva Viagra."
:mad:
*: I do like the one where they're on the roller coaster.
dawsongirl 09-14-2009, 08:57 PM The stupid one with Bob and his e.d.:rolleyes:
All ED Commercials and the drugs to "treat" it. puke:

Any Febreeze one where people go around sniffing each other and anything else that gets in the way. Creepy!
dawsongirl 09-14-2009, 09:13 PM The Geico ad with the cavemen in the bowling alley...WTF is that all about anyway??
steevo 09-14-2009, 11:26 PM I am so sick to death of the Geico commercials with the stacks of money "watching everyone" with those stupid big eyes. I can't stand the song they use, either. :rolleyes:
Where I live in CT, we also have to put up with the Mohegan Sun commercials with the song and dance numbers detailing how great the hotel rooms are. These are getting on my last nerve. :mad: I always change the channel whenever they are on.
brownie87 09-19-2009, 12:57 AM I don't know about anyone else, but I for one can't stand all these stupid resort commercials! Like the ones for Sandals and Beaches especially. I hate that stupid "Peeeerfeeeect Daaaayyyyy" crap!! And, especially now with Patrick Swayze no longer being with us, the way they took a perfectly amazing '80s song from a pretty good classic movie ("I've Had the Time of my Life") and actually played it out, even though it's different people singing it this time. But all that aside, they make these resort places seem like heaven on earth. In actuality, they are BORING!!! And, especially on cruises, they always have some kind of itinerary that everyone is expected to follow. Believe me, I know this firsthand because I went to a few resorts in my time, and they SUCKED!!! The only one I really ever loved and enjoyed was Atlantis.
And I hate that commercial where the mom sprays the mirror with the electric toothbrush she's using to brush her teeth and the mirror is caked with splats of used toothpaste (and perhaps teeth residue) and she even gets some crap on her kid's face! What's gross is that they actually linger on the mirror where the toothpaste and saliva is at the beginning of the ad! YUCK!!!!
And there's this "Little Bear" toothpaste commercial that's been running for about ten to twenty years now, with that annoying little kid with the squeaky voice and who's barely old enough to talk. "LITTLE BEAR!!!!" Can't stand that kid!!
And, lastly, how about this latest "Purple Kangaroo" commercial with all the ladies waiting online to get into the ladies' room, not to actually "do their business" apparently, as it turns out, but to FIX THEIR FREAKING HAIR!!!!! I hate that ad and I hate that big purple kangaroo!!
Big C 09-19-2009, 02:30 AM I am so sick to death of the Geico commercials with the stacks of money "watching everyone" with those stupid big eyes. I can't stand the song they use, either. :rolleyes:
I think they made a big mistake by getting away from the Gecko/Caveman ads.
Those were better.
spunkygirl 09-20-2009, 09:21 PM I can't remember what company it's for, but it's for a cell phone or something, and the dad is tweeting to his son from the patio, and the son goes "I know you're on the patio"
Totally idiotic

Yeah, that one's annoying - it's the same one where the daughter says, "Mom, just because we're facebook friends doesn't mean you can post I love you all over my wall!!!" Bleccch. :rolleyes:
spunkygirl 09-20-2009, 10:45 PM Don't forget the bing.com comercials. Those are very annoying too

browneyes106 09-24-2009, 12:00 AM I'm starting to find Troy Polamalu's Head and Shoulders commercials annoying.
ssudioTVgirl 10-02-2009, 05:10 AM I think the Progressive lady is the most annoying human being on the planet! If I ever saw her, I'd run! And I don't know about anyone else, but I for one am soooo sick of all these weight loss commercials. And I also hate yogurt commercials, because I hate yogurt. And the "GO BEEF!" commercials. And the Finally Fast commercials that always come on VH1 Classic. However, I do not mind seeing the Beatles: Rock Band commercials, because I looooove The Beatles! But I hate the Wii commercials. And any cellphone commercials.
Ohio8 10-13-2009, 09:43 PM The alltel cell phone commercials.
