Commercials That You Find Offensive

I also hate the "male enhancement" commercials with the smiling Bob. What a creepy guy.
I can't say I've ever been offended by a commercial. But I do find some in bad taste. And I have to agree with you on the smiling Bob one, it's creepy/strange. As for the "four hour" thing, what guy would ever want to go to the hospital and try to explain this one to the doctor? :blush:

The Build-A-Bear commercials. All the happiness of it makes me want to vomit :crazy2:
I know! I hate the feel good commercials, life isn't that happy! :rolleyes: ;)
 

I also hate the ones for Valtrex...the woman complains about how herpes outbreaks are such an inconvience....just the way she says it....just irritates me!
 
The woman who does the orbit (chewing gum) commercials grosses me out. She's just so creepy!

The ones that bug me most are the women who get on TV saying they have herpes or genital warts and are taking this or that drug. It's not that I'm prudish about hearing things like this, it's just that I can't imagine any amount of money that would make me get in front of a camera and discuss such things! I feel embarassed for the actresses that can't get better roles and would honestly feel it worth while to do that. I mean, think about it, people must run in to these women on the streets and think, "Oh my God! I know her from TV! She's the one who has genital herpes." No amount of money would be worth it to me!

Overall, very few commercials really bother me, but my mom gets easily offended by them. I've seen her switch brands because she was so offended by something or another stupid commercial!

Oh, I have one more to add to the list. There is a furnature retailer in my hometown who advertises from his store with his nice little family and their DOGS lying on (and drooling and shedding all over) the COUCHES that he wants the public to come in and buy! Eeek! Whenever I'm in the market for furnature, I immediately write off the possibility of shopping at his store because I'm allergic to dogs. I've heard several other people say the same thing. Hell, it's not just people with allergies, a lot of people don't want to buy new furnature with dog hair all over it! Good grief, how dumb is too dumb? How can somebody be idiot enough to let their dogs stay in the store and sleep on the furnature, and then boast about it on TV? That, in my opinion, is the dumbest commercial I've ever seen.

any of the "female product" commercials where the women are a little too happy to discuss these products and where they use the blue liquid as a representation of how well the product works.
LOL! For real!! If I'm bleeding blue, call me a Smurf :)
 
I hate drug commercials. Especially ones for example for acid reflux: "side effects may include diarrhea, constipation, nausea, and vomiting." I think I would just deal w/ the acid reflux. Know what I mean?

Or the ones for allergies. "Side effects may include sneezing, sore throat, coughing, itchy eyes." Um, isn't that what you are taking the med for?? Hmm.
 
The Paris Hilton one was pretty bad but nothing compared to the one that Carl's Jr was running before. It was a baby in the womb pulling on the embilical (sp) cord talking to his mother about what she should and shouldn't eat from there. It was in such poor taste, I would mute the tv everytime it was on.

And the O chic is sooooo annoying! I can't stand her. It makes me want to never shop at overstock.com.
 
Did anyone say the Overstock.com commercials? It's so blatantly sexual it drives me nuts! Since when did general-merchandise stores have to resort to sexual inuendos to make a point?
