For me, hands down The Burger King. Those commercials would seriously freak me out. They even creeped out my sister's in-laws, and it's not easy to do that!!

Digger the Dermatophyte, for Lamisil.

My dad can't stand the Nasonex bee. Those ads give HIM the creeps.

It certainly is, but not as nasty as on the commercial, when Digger lifts up the nail and there's a colony of dermatophytes.

Amen to that but I find the picture of the foot to be just as disgusting as Digger.

I've got a three-way tie:

The Burger King - WTF is THAT? Can you imagine waking up in bed and finding that freak lying next to you like in the ad?!?!?!?

The Jack-In-The-Box guy - never trust anyone with a big foam head!

They've dropped them now - but those singing rats Quiznos were using. Now why would a restaurant use RATS as their mascot?!?!?!

My mom teases him all the time about that. He actually LIKES the Lamosil commercials.

The Afron nose was pretty freaky, too.

I gotta give it to Digger but the old Dominos one was pretty bad too

The Dominiod

Funny you'd mention that one. Apparently it freaks Michael J. Fox out also. He hates anything to do with fungus and that ad really makes his skin crawl (no pun intended). If it comes on and he's not in the room, his kids will call him in and then wham - he sees that ad. They pull it on him all the time - you'd think he'd catch on.

THAT was the most disgusting things ever.

Wasn't it? It took me about a year to figure out they were rats and what they were singing in those horrible voices.

I do like Quiznos though. For fun, one night Frank and I went in and as we get through the door I start singing like the rats as loud as I could. Frank wanted to crawl under a table but it got everyone laughing in the place. It's a good thing I don't drink anymore....
