Any commercial where someone says "boom" after doing anything.

Hey, Dairy Queen, it's not cool or hip at all. Also? No cares about your chicken strips.

 

[Korigama]

The iPad air commercial, so fucking pretentious.

This is exactly what came to mind as soon as I saw this thread.

 

[anarckitty]

The All State discount double check Rogers commericals

So fucking annoying

That's State Farm. Still annoying as shit though.

 

[Krauser Kat]

The mcdonalds commercial with the healthy active bug running around and stuff like eating mcds is good for you.

 

[Ovid]

Liberty Mutual Insurance

The use of the Human League song "Human" song in a commercial is so damn weird. It pisses me off to no end.

The commercial: http://youtu.be/UB3oEHzakOw

The song: http://open.spotify.com/track/3gE2Af7Tgd1iZOO1xbTqoh

 

[kmfdmpig]

Samuel Adams beer commercials on the radio. The founder sounds like a cave man.

 

[GungHo]

Some of the local yokel commercials...

Like Empire and their stupid jingle and the John Moore commercials with an overly peppy little chick who overenunciates every word she speaks. And, honestly if it was truth in advertising, they'd just come out and say "hey, if you're old, we're happy to take advantage of you."

I'm also kinda glad that Matress Mack isn't in as many commercials any more, because screaming furniture commercials are right there with screaming car commercials for being annoying as hell. Speaking of car commercials... Melissa Demontrond continues to creep me the fuck out every time she smiles... it's like watching an orca chew tobacco.

I guess if you're not from around here you don't appreciate those, but honestly those are the only ones I see because I otherwise FF through my DVR. I guess I have noticed that Velveeta commercial with Liquid Gold... yes... a lot recently. I wouldn't say it pisses me off. But it pisses my wife off because I then start saying it over and over again. Note I have also made a Skyrim character based on that guy.

 

[Portugeezer]

Nothing specific, but there have been some annoyingly hipster/cool nerd iOS devices commercials.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Progressive
Geico

Popeyes commercials. I hate that woman, soundin like Aunt Jemima.

THIS DAMN COMMERCIAL WITH THE MOST SPOILED CHILD I'VE EVER SEEN

How horribly racist...

I think she's hot, scary neck and all...

Popeyes -- Oh hell yeah. I think I mentioned that on GAF before.

I never saw this stupid Verizon commercial though.

 

[Megalosaro]

Did I win?

Fucking city folk just don't get it.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat~

 

[KnuckaWut]

those stereotype'd progressive commercials were pretty upsetting.

 

[Princess Viola]

I hate all commercials for Progressive.

Especially the one with "Flo-bot".

Did you know that's Paul Giamatti doing the voice over?

 

[Ovid]

All those Geico Pig commercials.....people actually find them funny which confuses me greatly

Maxwell. I like those commercials.

Did you know that's Paul Giamatti doing the voice over?

Really?

 

[(mat)]

Wish I could have found a better quality one, but this commercial (ironically) gives me a headache. The silence with her shitty voice talking over it, the lighting, her dumb face. I fucking hate this shit.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

real talk right here

ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE *turns down volume* twice as loud as whatever the fuck you were watching.

I think the FCC was putting something into law for this. Making commercials to be the same level as the program on TV.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Apple Products

Wowcher

[TwntyOneTwlv]

I think Flo is the worst character ever created.

HOWEVER

This one annoys me beyond words.

This is the worst commercial of all time.

[Baraka in the White House]

I can't remember the name of the company but it's some type of CPA that specializes in taxes and it has a really shitty CGI commercial with a derpy looking little dude that closes out the commercial with what I can only compare to the Howard Dean scream.

 

[HammerOfThor]

That damn gelado commercial where it only showed the people's lips.

Fucking hated that commercial.

 

[jred2k]

Those shitty "Hopper" commercials from Direct TV or Dish or whoever. Those shitty accents sound so dumb and obnoxious.

Those for tampons and hygiene pads. All of them.

I'm holding out hope that no horrible Christmas commercial is going to top last year's....

Probably posted already, but this is one of the worst I've seen.

EDIT: Yep, posted on page 2:

Those godawful Pomplamoose Kia commercials from a few years ago.

Also, the Education Connection commercials.

A bad song or jingle in a commercial will actually make me change the channel.

So bad.

 

[Quake1028]

NANANANANANANNANAN NAPA KNOW HOW

This is the only correct answer.

 

[Data West]

Pretty much every 'dad is a dumbass' commercial.

 

[poppabk]

This one annoys me beyond words.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKZYCrhb_Ok

Yeah came to post this. It's like they just had a single idea of 'hashtag' being cool and just jammed it into a commercial even though it didn't work at all.

This is a genius commercial because it avoids actually saying that it does anything which of course it doesn't.

 

[GringoJB]

So, around here, there's this trend where all of the local car dealership commercials have, at one point, put a bunch of little kids in their commercials. They are barely old enough to "talk" and they make them say/yell the name of the dealership or something... I suppose they're the kids of people that work for the dealership or something, but it's supposed to be "cute" but they just end up sounding like annoying, screaming creatures from Star Wars or something because THEY CAN'T EVEN FORM WORDS YET.

Regional?

This is prime for a techno remix.

 

[spookyfish]

I really can't stand car commercials that show the product in a completely fabricated situation. For example, a Nissan Juke ad I saw has he car bouncing around like in a pinball machine, all with a disclaimer at the bottom "The car cannot actually do any of these things" or something like that.

Toyota trucks were equally bad a few years ago, showing the truck tumbling down a hill without a scratch, dent or anything. Disclaimer: "Truck really can't fall off a cliff with no damage."

 

[GulAtiCa]

The Head On commercials always used to piss me off.

 

[Unbound By Death]

Haven't turned on my TV in 3-4 years i think

I have trouble understanding why anyone would torture themselves.

 

[Head of Vengarl]

Commercials where kids read a script that makes them sound like they're much smarter and more eloquent than they could possibly be. This one has been playing lately and it annoys the shit out of me:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD9oS1L7sK8

Just stop. It's played out, and it was stupid in the first place.

*Edit, speaking of stupid and played out:

Pretty much every 'dad is a dumbass' commercial.

Yes, these too.

And also, commercials that are way too fucking loud.

 

[Yeef]

What are commercials?


I don't watch commercials anymore, thanks to DVR's and the internet. That said, car commercials always annoyed me. Not because I have anything against cars, but because they're all so uninspired and samey. Volkswagen used to have some pretty cool commercials that I actually liked (even if they didn't do a good job of advertising the product necessarily). This one was always one of my favorites.

 

[Choppasmith]

Axe commercials especially the older ones where women are shown swooning and falling head over heels for the guy just for using it

Spoiler

False advertising Why can't it work that way for real

Commercials like the ones for Colonial Penn with lots of forced, fake smiles and bad acting "Goodness, that's less than the cost of a postage stamp. Wow!"

I agree with a lot if the others (especially the Fix My pc), but Progressive? Really? I mean, they're not stellar, but there's far worse out there imo

 

[Pops Maellard]

The iPad air commercial, so fucking pretentious.

This or Apple commercials in general.

 

[ArtistDude88]

Car insurance commercials, because you can't go a single break without seeing at least one for some company, no matter what channel you're on.

Then they're all, "SAVE $[insert any bullshit number here] BY SWITCHING!"

Can't stand the 17621641510517 goddamn car insurance commercials. And 10001641510517 of them are from Geico.

 

[MR4001]

That awful advert with Carol Vorderman for some bloody catalogue. Ah - here it is: http://youtu.be/Ok4YB0SjJJM I HATE IT. I don't know why, I just do.

Oh - Christmas starts on the 24th of December, so Christmas adverts that started airing on the 1st of November can just FUCK OFF!

 

[kasane]

Cialis commercials here in Canada annoys the fuck out of me. The commercials doesn't even make sense

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Just because I can't believe it's legal.

 

[Anastasia]

Those Auto Advantage commercials. The commercials that seem to go on for about 9 hours, and just when you think it's over ... they show it again. Here is an old one.

 

[Princess Viola]

i hate those My Clean PC ads.

fucking scams and they know it

 

[Salsa]

all of em

they're all super transparent to me and it legitimately bothers me

I dont have a TV anymore, just a big monitor

 

[seat]

Just because I can't believe it's legal.

Please tell me this isn't real.
