Most annoying, but current, TV commercials???

cruelpupet · 09-09-2004, 09:49 AM

Lately, I've found that more commercials are becoming irritating to hear.

Other then the FANTA commercial...what really gets on your nerves.

For me its a tie between the IDT commercials with the black woman screaming "I'm moving to a better company"

and

the Inventec commercial with the "I invented the swooshi, but was beaten to the market...if only I had a patent" or "I put this wheel on a stick for my abs...if only I patented it"

The McDonalds Chicken Select commercials are so annoying. All these schizo people talking to themselves and acting like everyone is after their chicken.

Lolita · 09-09-2004, 10:01 AM

Every single McDonalds commercial trying to be all hip-hop and all the Verizon commercials (the advertising team should be fired!)

...also the Ebay commercials where people randomly break into song. ugh.

I can't stand all the commercials for the new shows. I've got nothing against "Joey" but he is really on my nerves now. During the Olympics, it seemed like every other commerical was for that show. Same with the "Lost" show on ABC -- enough already, just put it on.

STROKE commercial...

Apparently they have other ones, but THIS ONE keeps playing over and over!

redcolours · 09-09-2004, 10:57 AM

that doublemint(?) gum that does all these supposedly "extreme" $h!t (like jumping out of a plane in a prachute), cuz its supposedly lasts longer in flavor, with that annoying scottish accent. wtf is that?

Yossarian · 09-09-2004, 11:24 AM

all of them

redcolours · 09-09-2004, 11:33 AM

Mike_N_Ike · 09-09-2004, 11:56 AM

seqiro · 09-09-2004, 01:34 PM

This is probably a regional thing, but if I see another Foxwoods commercial I'm going to have to scream.

And I definitely agree with the McDonald's chicken selects commercials.

Mike_N_Ike · 09-09-2004, 01:58 PM

Eh, those Enzyte commercials are starting to get on my nerves too. They play them all the damn time on Spike TV. I swear you can't get through a commercial break without seeing one sometimes.

Jihforce · 09-09-2004, 02:05 PM

sprit,e with the little penny wannabe

cruelpupet · 09-09-2004, 02:06 PM

STAY OUT OF THIS THREAD!!!

These are my chicken selects...now go away!

.

Roots SD · 09-09-2004, 02:09 PM

Yeah, I also agree with the McDonald's chicken selects commercials. No one that stupid would work at an office like that and not get fired.

I love Red Bull commercials, maybe it's because I'm a stoner and they're intended for my demographic.

The commercials I hate the most and annoy me constantly are the ones from Virgin Mobile. The ones with people singing to one another like their on the phone, or the ones with the old people acting hip. I wanted to throw my TV out the window every time I saw those.
The latest one with Ludacris, Kanye West and some G-Unit poser are the worst ones. It's supposed to be some kind of spontaneous moment but the commercial is as well produced as a Jerry Bruckheimer or Tony Scott movie. Just goes to show why "hip-hop" should now be called "hip-pop"
Oh 2-pac how we miss you!

Old Navy & Fanta. Instant channel changers.

eSDee · 09-09-2004, 04:46 PM

Geico commercials. I feel like running that little bastard over with my car.

Another vote for Enzyte. Late night when I'm trying to doze off while watching TV, the last thing I want to hear is a bunch of guys whistling in my ear.

~~Cantacuzene~~ · 09-09-2004, 04:58 PM

Old Navy commercials were way better when they had the old lady with the annoyingly big glasses, her dog and Morgan Fairchild.
