Most Annoying Commercial: Tide-"Anything you can do I can do better" ? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

shocolah · 03-22-2003, 12:38 AM

I absolutely cannot STAND this commercial. It is so freaking annoying I could scream. Another one is the Dell commercials, and few on the radio. These kids are going, "mom, dad, someone's going to try to get me to do drugs..." then another kid pops in and says, "don't like it? Tough. You gotta be the grown up." I know it has a positive message, but after hearing it a lot, I can't stand it anymore. I also hate the pizza hut commercial with that goofy looking guy who has a pizza spinning in outer space and he gives a gooned look on his face.

Also the Vehix.com one with the oddball looking couple grates on my nerves along with some of the Geico commercials. What commercials bug you?

That is so funny ~ I love the Tide commercial!

I hate the Walmart commercials, any Walmart commercial.

I think the Vehix one is worse! They just played it again.

Anything you can do I can do better
I can do anything better than you
No you can't
Yes I can
No you can't
Yes I can
No you can't
Yes I can yes I caaaaan!

Anyway, most annoying commercial? All of them. Oh, except the "great cheese comes from happy cows. Happy cows come from California." I love that one, where the pig thinks he's a cow. ">snort< oh, I mean, moo..." It's too cute.

Those Chevy Tahoe ads with James Garner reciting that nonsensical BS ending with "and nobody knows it but me". Ugh.

I do love the Affleck Insurance ads with the duck. They kill me.

Brian · 03-22-2003, 01:24 AM

I remember back around 1996 or 1997 there was this car ad which had a little girl singing "Anything you can do I can do better. I can do anything better than you." Then it had a little boy singing "No you can't." That was so annoying.

One commercial I absolutely cannot stand is the one Gap commercial where this blonde is walking around and the song played is a cover song of "Feeling Groovy" which is sung very badly. I turn it off every time.

Oh man, I hate that commericial. I hate that song and I think I have something against the word 'Groovy'.

Dell ads are also on my list. I hate all ads that are shown a million times. Okay, on FX they advertise for this new show called 'Lucky'. They advertise it a million f'n times until you just feel like throwing something at the screen. They even commericial the show during another tv show. These big ass dice come across the screen. Argh, I hate regular ads, now they have pop up ads. ARGH!

OXI Clean Commerical the one where there at a wedding and the wife says you call that clean and the husband goes in th back room and the oxi clean guy goes has mother ever showed you how to use OXI Clean. I think that is the worst commercial ever.

Czas na Zywiec · 03-22-2003, 02:14 AM

I despise the Dell commericials. The interms suck. I want Steve back but that'll probably never happen.

Kristina · 03-22-2003, 05:29 AM

Those Hanes underwear commercials with those girls, it wouldn't annoy me if that freaking crappy song wasn't playing. It goes something like "it's a beautiful word, it's a beautiful thing"

The one where that girl is pop-locking in the passenger seat of the car while the driver looks at her like she's the most amazing dancer he's ever seen. That one irks me some.

Ugh I hate that Gap commercial too! Also does anyone ever walk like that down the street? I think I hate all of the Gap commercials though such as when all of them are sitting around singing "Mellow Yellow" or whatever that song is.

Rickenbacker · 03-22-2003, 10:59 AM

Haha! That "Anything You Can Do" song actually makes me laugh! My mom used to sing it around the house often! But on this commercial, I like the man's part- "No ya can't!" He sounds like a big grouch! That song is from a show called "Annie Get Your Gun".

But one series of commercials I don't like are the ones that push "Oxygen" laundry detergent. They look more like cheap, video taped infomercials. The ones w/ that bearded, over-buff, steroid guy who sounds like he's from Long Island. He also pushes some "orange" cleaner.
I take one look at that guy & think - porn. Either he collects tons of it, or he makes amateur porn w/ his sleazy girlfriend. She wears tons of gaudy jewelry, too much make up & her name is Angela. I just know it. He's also friends with Joey Buttafuco. (sp) They hang out & go to strip clubs.

And you *know* he hits on every woman who recognizes him. He uses the worst of the worst pick-up lines. I just know it....
