Annoying Commercials

[lynxstch]

the one where the guy and girl are on the lake in a boat..and it springs a leak..and while the guy is trying to find something to bail out the boat..she opens her purse/backpack thing ..takes out a tampon and sticks it in the hole in the boat..yeah..like we all carry around an ENTIRE box of those when we are going out on a date..lol!..

"Comic genuius??" ACCCKKKK! I don't think so, they are sooooo gross!

I vote for the Herbal Essence ones as well....I think they are crude. I saw some on clearance somewhere, but didn't buy it just b/c I resent their commercials.

The one that is currently driving me nuts is for Axe Body Spray. The guy sprays it on himself and the girls go wild, then a mosquito sucks his blood, then the frog eats the mosquito, then the old man eats the frog legs and some beautiful woman falls in love with him, then he dies in a compromising position, then they show his grave and there are maggots that have eaten the old man and they form a heart. Blech !! Think I have had to endure this one way too much since I have it memorized apparently . It bothers me on so many levels.

I also don't really get those Quiznos commercials. This may be a stupid question but what IS a sponge monkey ??

With all this talk about the Quiznos commercials I'm curious to see one. We don't have them here.

I have to agree about the Tampax and Herbal Essences commercials. They are stupid IMO. Another one that didn't seem to last long was for Degree Anti-Perspirant. It featured a guy in a martial arts scene, then he goes out to dinner. At the table he does a karate move, everyone shreaks and the camera shows his dry arm at which everyone is then happy. Weird. I only saw it twice.

I love the Spongemonkeys and rathergood.com! The best are the kitties singing that Destiny's Child song!

I hate the Clorox2 commercial with the man diving into the bed that's covered with "body filth" or whatever they call it. It's like bubbling mud with stink lines coming off of it.
But I think the worst one is the Lotrimin? commercial for toenail fungus when the nasty little fungus burrows under the poor man's toenail. It makes me want to puke!

If I see that commercial for McCain's french fries...I'm going to throw a cinder block through my T.V....You know the one, they're in the supermarket, and the guy is giving out samples, but hes speaking gibberish and then anyone who tries it speaks gibberish...It is AWFUL

I have several:

The "Take my scale" woman (I think it's for Kashi or some other cereal). Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard for me.

The guy that's eating a Snickers bar and singing the "867-5309 - Jenny" song. It's like watching a three year old who hasn't learned any manners eat.

Our local car dealers and furniture stores are the worst! They make plenty of money - please hire a professional actor or spokesperson. I get their "schtick" but their accents and poor grammar are distracting to their message.

"Can you hear me now?"

That has gone on way too long. Get rid of that Verizon guy already. I cringe everytime I hear it.

Also, the tampon commercials annoy me. I can't stand the one with the woman in the bathroom trying to get the tampon out of the machine and another woman comes along and gives her one and she uses it to pry the Tampax brand out of the machine. Give me a break

Those darn Diseronna Amaretto commercials, where they suck the ice cube...gimme a BREAK!

 

[pirateofthecarolinas]

We don't like the commercial where the man in front of a mirror in a bathroom is making his eyes blink. I can't even tell you what they are selling because my husband always turns the channel. He doesn't like anything going into his eyes.

All the complaints have been about a commercial for a product, so I don't know if this one fits the category. But it is one that annoys me so much I have actually written to NBC about it....not that they cared LOL

It is any commercial for the show Fear Factor. I understand there is an audience for this kind of show. But the commercials can sneak up on you in the middle of another show, and as anyone who has seen them knows, they are way beyond gross.

I once saw one shortly after a meal, and literally lost my dinner. If they would just have enough of a preamble to allow you to know what is coming and switch channels or turn away....but they launch right into some disgusting behavior that I personally want to avoid seeing.

Ok..The one that drives me nuts is the the one where the "docter" comes on and says "No offense to casual dieters, but if you only want to lose 5 or 10 pounds, this product isn't for you". I do NOT know why I hate that so much.. I think its they way he says it. Like theres a professional team of dieters out there and you can only take this product if you are SERIOUS about it.. !RGH..I drives me to hit the mute button.

As I have mentioned before.. HATE the Quiznos commercials and also do NOT like the bears with the toilet paper and one I hadnt mentioned before is the Puffs tissue where the they have the "puppet" like kids blowing their nose and their nose moves around on their face.. just grosses me out!

 

[Poohbear123]

I am with you on that, what does Cartoon Characters have to do with TOILET PAPER?!! Hello? Bears do NOT wipe their Butts as far as I know! Oh, and the weird cartoon women who SEW the Quilts in the toilet paper..... Give me a BREAK!

I absolutely cannot stand the Yoplait commercials "It is sooooo good". I am embarrassed for those women. "drivin' barefoot good"! "no tan line good!" "night without the boys good!"

Oh brother.

Oh yes, my personal least favorite commercials ever!! They're "food poisoning bad." Ugh--

That Tampax one with the boat is another really bad one. I mean, don't you feel bad for that poor guy?!? First, your date has clearly lost her mind by bringing a 48 pack of tampons with her on what appears to be a very short boat trip, but he then has to continue on this trip with that thing stuck in the bottom of the boat!! Can you say "uncomfortable situation?!!?" I'd be rowing back to shore triple time!!

I just can't figure why she brought them in the first place?? (Oh yes, in case your boat springs a leak )

OMG....do I agree that those fear factor commercials are the worst. I mean IMO it should be called gross factor. I do not have a fear of eating ground up insects, I just think it's disgusting .
