Really Bad Commercials - any opinions?

I agree with the other poster about the Herbal Essences commercials. I think they are disgusting and embarrassing.

Glad to hear that, I was beginning to think I was the only one! LOL
 
If any of you check out the Family Auto Mart website, make sure your speakers are on when you go there. When you go to the "order"page, there are a bunch of buttons at the bottom...roll your mouse over and listen to some of the ANNOYING commercials they have. Uck!!!
 
First off, to second some other nominations:
1) the tampon ad where the teacher says "I hope you have enough for everyone!" DUH I teach at a HS and any teacher on the staff knows what a tampon is and looks like--even if they aren't married they have moms and sisters!!!!
2) the flu medicine one where the guy sends his kids out in a snowstorm dressed for a sailwaway party, but with winter coats on. Is any man that helpless? MY DH sure isn't.
Now for my own nomination:
I dont' know if it is a regional or national jewelry chain , but it is called "Jared" ( like the boys name). I thought nothing was more annoying than their radio commercial (with a horrible, screeching voice singing 'WHOOOAAAAA, That's Jared!") but on the TV commercials women get jewelry and say "he went to Jared!" like he found the grail or something. Usually there are friends and family proudly agreeing "He went to Jared!" or a disgruntled woman smacking her own man saying "HE went to Jared!" like her own man is less of a man for not shopping at the right jewelry store! In one ad you'll here "He went to Jared!" at least a dozen times.
BTW there is an emphasis on the last syllable--it's pronounced "Jair-ed".

Or the one where she is dressed in all white and puts her tampon on the windowsill and it falls out so she makes a rope out of other tampons and a pad. How inane! Even my boys (11,13 and 16) says, "who would put it on a windowsill?" LOL
 

I hate to revive a week-old thread, but I remembered the absolutely worst series of commercials ever aired and I can't believe I'm the first to mention them.......

"This is Bob. Bob just called Enzyte to ask about Natural Male Enhancement. Now, Bob's livin' LARGE, but he still has the butt-ugliest wife on television."

These commercials have got to go. They have been on the air way too LONG :eek:
 
I TOTALLY forgot about the Bob "livin' large" commercials! Oh, those are HORRIBLE! My goodness! What a horrible thing to play at 5 in the afternoon when a child is going to see that..."Mommy, what's male enhancement?":rolleyes:
 
"1-800 Safe Auto...Pick up the phone, the call is free...."

Enough already!

I also hate the Walmart commercial where a grandmother takes 13 of her grandchildren to shop at Walmart. Its supposed to be sweet, I guess, but it gags me! Doesn't make me want to shop there in the least!
 
Another one I don't like-

Crest White Strips. They show all WOMEN who want to whiten their teeth. Men don't want white teeth? The commercial aends witha pretty model-type women walking down the street and a guy notices her. We are supposed to believe its because she has a WHITE SMILE. uh-huh. Through the whole commercial some song is playing, it sounds like its sung in French and I don't understand a word of it. Dumb!!

A funny note about White Strips is that a drug store near me had them on sale and they spelled it wrong on their sign. It had "Crest White STRIPES on sale". LOL
 
The Kirstie Ally, Pier One, Santa Baby commercial! UGH!!!!!! :crazy:

That is bad... and the dresses she's been wearing for those commercials make her look HUGE! I don't really care if she's gained weight, but those dresses do nothing for her.
