The "Annoying Commercials" thread... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

brownie87 · 11-25-2008, 10:57 AM

I know there's already a special website about annoying commercials (Commercials I Hate.com), but for some reason I can't seem to register on their message board, so I figured I'd start a thread here about annoying commercials. I personally HATE commercials with a passion, especially the ones that have been coming out lately. Half the time, you don't even know what the heck they are selling! Car commercials, Geico commercials, internet commercials, fast food commercials, phone commercials and video game commercials are high up on my list of annoying commercials. I actually used to love commercials back in the '80s because they were entertaining and got to the point and the commercial breaks weren't as lengthy. Then by the 1990's, commercials started going downhill. Now, they went from ridiculous to just plain outta' hand! I make certain exceptions to animal commercials because I love animals. But everytime I'm watching something on TV and I'm really into it, they have to cut right in with some stupid commercial. Like I'd be watching a "Law & Order" episode, then just as they're getting to the good part, BAM!!! Some stupid ad comes on the screen and I just scream at the top of my lungs!! Then, I'm flipping through the channels, I have one of those cable boxes that has a display at the bottom of the screen that lets you know what I'm watching, and I'm like....OH, GREAT!!! I've been wanting to see this...then I find myself sitting through, like...almost an hour's worth of commercials!! OYE!!!! So, how's about we talk a little bit about the most annoying commercials on TV that makes you want to throw something at the screen everytime it comes on.

The Time Warner 4 Day Sale commercials annoy the **** out of me.

Head On is the same, but I parodied that commercial calling it "Hard On".

Those Viagra, feminine hygiene and laxative ads are always annoying, especially while you are eating.

This takes the cake (in my book) for all time worst commercial:

that commercial made me break my tv about two years ago when it was airing during every single commercial break on every channel i saw. it came on once and i was so aggravated that i busted in one of the buttons while changing the channel.

I thought of a few:

Any commercial where someone is suffering from arthritis, diarrhea, depresion, herpes, diabetes....not that I'm not sympathetic to people, but the acting is so bad in these commercials you just want to throw something at the screen. Especially that one ad where this white-haired attractive lady is talking about "fibromialgea" and she starts feeling herself up as if she's seducing us, or something.

I also hate all the optimum commercials: The one with the rapper, the one with the blonde housewife and the one with the puppets.

All the stupid pasta-from-Pizza-Hut commercials where the people think they're eating "authentic pasta".

The Campbell soup commercials with that stupid "Possibilities" song.

The Craft commercial where the little girl is drinking a glass of milk and she smiles into the camera with this driblet of milk on her chin (EEEWWW!!!).

Alot of the holiday ads that are out there now.

Any college commercial that makes people who don't go to college for the rest of their lives feel like losers! Ex: "You're sittin' on the couch, you're watchin' TV and your life's passin' you by..."

The Colgate commercial with "Tiffany". That girl who's filming herself brushing her teeth at night, with her big teeth in the camera. Then the next morning her teeth are once again in the camera and she's showing us how "squeaky clean" her teeth are before she brushes them. EWWW!!

Movie ads.

Wii commercials.

The stupid Swiffer ads....they ruined a really good '70s song ("Baby Come Back")...I especially cannot stand the one with the Mariachi band.

Any commercial where they show a smug wife and the stupid, incompetent husband.

Any Garnier commercial.

The "Leap Frog" ads.

The talking thumbs.

The clicking heals.

Any cell phone commercial.

The McDonald's breakfast commercial.

Too many others to think about now, but I'll think of more later.

Cialis and Viagra. We get it...any man who has that problem, and all those that don't, know about these pills. You don't need to sell us anymore, *******.

And frankly....I don't care if you can't get it up!

Like those people think they got transported to Italy or something.

I also hate that one for those...IDK, whatever they were, where the Pizza Hut Employee is pretending to be french? And then she's like, actually, I work for Pizza Hut and I just delivered these! *kicks girl in face*
