The most annoying commercials in existence

In Australia, we're bombarded with this rubbish from Coles, one of the big supermarket chains:

'DOWN DOWN' has become their primary marketing slogan, where seemingly everyone in the country (including Coles themselves) knows how fucking annoying and grating it is, but it's permanently dug itself right into the core of your mind along with that fucking big red hand. We're talking a company so large that, at the time it was released, you'd probably see at least one of these every single ad break on any given free-to-air channel.

It's obviously been a smash hit, because they brought out a new one recently to the tune of That's Amore. Everyone hates it, but we're all now acutely aware of how cheap chicken is, so this shit isn't going anywhere.
 
GUTS.

GLORY.

RAYUM.


Fuck you.

Lmao I watch tons of football so commercials like these are a part of day to day life which is terrible.

I hate all the new Geico commercials that say, "If you're a ____, you _____. It's what you do."

Truly terrible stuff.
 
recently i been seeing this ad on Twitch for the last few weeks

Its an Intel ad and it compares a dude playing FPS game(CSGO?) and to a basketball player.

i just rolled my eyes.
 
Any commercial what so ever. I'm already paying for internet/cable. Why am I seeing ads.
it turns out greed is more powerful than great dreams of no ads ever, also most likely the per-subscriber rate is complete shit now vs the 90's where you can run a channel that's nothing but smooth jazz and beachside views without ads
 
Any Jamster commercial with those CG animals selling you ringtones.

I literally changed the channel any time these showed up. Which was like every 5 minutes.
Ah the days of G4/TechTV. Actually most of the ads here played on that channel.
 
Straight up: any commercial where the audio is mixed significantly higher than the video it's attached to.

I watch things with commercials on because I do want to support content creators that rely on ad revenue, but I will instantly mute any commercial that comes on 500% AUDIO LEVELS AHOY and make a mental note to never buy their shit.

I don't care if your D- psychology students in testing told you that you get more user engagement with loud-ass ads, have some class.
 
all of those ads in america where they either want you to call a law firm to sue someone for vague reasons or ask your doctor about their prescription drug. i dont even know how drug ads are legal. shit's whack
 
Charter Spectrum

Whoever came up with those ads should be fired immediately. Nobody wants to listen to an annoying, long, repetitive song about a fucking cable/internet package you fucks.

And those anti smoking commercials from #TRUTH
I like the message but the music is annoying

And that Amazon Prime commercial with the dog as the lion. The singing is so dry and cracky. Idk

How is my doctor supposed to know what drugs I need if I don't ask him about them? Sheesh!
 
The Progressive commercials with Flo. God, those are awful.

The only good insurance commercials are the Farmers ones with J.K. Simmons. "We.Are.Farmers. Bumbadabumbumbumbumbum."
 
The addiction network commercials are insufferable. The doctor is the worst actor, and the closing lines from the guy about wishing his parents had insurance are horrible and manipulative. Worst commercial ever.

This douche is basically the Saul Goodman of North Alabama, and his commercials CONSTANTLY run on local channels.
 
Literally every Food Network spot is played too many times

How else am I going to know which variation on a theme show do I want to watch? Is it Chopped? Is it Chopped Canada? It's it Chopped All Stars? Is it Chopped Kids? That last one sounds messed up when typed.
 
STAINS GONE IN THE FIRST WASH

This ad used to play back when League of Legends streaming started to take off like crazy. It was played multiple times in every commercial break. The ad was so hated that Resolve literally removed 99% of all traces of it from the internet. I only found it through archive.org.
 
"I have an annuity, but I need cash Noooooooow"

Those damn "Strong Arm" lawyer commercials they play during the afternoon shows. Thought I escaped them when I left Atlanta, only to find the same thing in Denver as well. No shit you can't promise everyone $250,000 for an auto accident.

Kars 4 Kids is what they play on the elevator ride to hell.
