I am so sick of that autism commercial with the race car driver. No disrespect to any autism families but I've seen that commercial about a billion times and I'm so sick of it.

In the Toledo area... Steve Taylor Hyundai/Kia. Seems to be on every 10 min!

We have local radio spots that can be annoying, but I just sit through them anyways. Some are instantly recognizable to anyone who listens to local radio. It is kind of odd when one or more of the regular voice actors is changed (imagine if the Shedd's Spread Country Crock voices ever changed). A lot of them are "conversational" and when the voice actors change from normal sounding people to polished-sounding voice actors, it can be rather jarring. There's a series of ads around here for a chain store called Video Only. I think the ad series has been around for at least 20 years, but recently they switched to these two "radio voice" people (big booming voices) and it's just weird.

Now political ads are another deal. They often use "conversational" scripts that sound phony. The oddest thing I've heard of was when one guy wasn't retained during a campaign and he went to work doing paid radio spots for his opponent.

Almost any and all political/election commercials.

 

[Ambroses]

ASPCA, United Way. It's not so much the sound as it is about the pictures of the pathetic dogs and children. My other one local car dealer ads. They are loud and obnoxious.

 

[Carriemel]

The Lincoln commercials with what's his name. I wouldn't own a Lincoln now, even if it was gifted to me with no tax repercussions.

The Value City Furniture commercial with the woman rolling around on the chair saying "chaise chaise chaise'. I can't grab the remote fast enough.

I agree that is the worst commercial.

DVR and Netflix. I hardly watch ANY live tv anymore. I've gotten even more spoiled since we got a Hopper, because it allows you to skip commercial breaks entirely without even having to fast forward them (primetime broadcast networks only). I've gotten to the point where I can scarcely sit through a commercial break. They just seem so ridiculously long.

"Make a change a la ga, make a change a la ga"

At least that's what it sounds like to me. It is some annoying Korean pop song for an ipad/tablet/some electronic ad. Not sure what is being advertised because I hate the song so much I change the channel as soon as I hear it!

 

[pooh4evr]

OH MY GOSH the stupid Burger King chicken fries commercial with the chicken telling her parents she is pregnant with chicken fries..ugh!

 

[cleverclovers]

And every Christmas.....cha cha cha chia!

 

[Micca]

I watch most tv via DVR, I seldom see any commercials.

 

[FlightlessDuck]

We mostly don't watch stuff live, so we just fast forward. I'm not sure there's anything in particular we mute when we do watch tv live.

 

[Shutterbug]

Any of the Twix commercials. Pelvic mesh lawsuit commercials.

 

[topolino]

I'm sure other Upstate NYers can understand this:
ANYTHING Fucillo...

It's huuuuuuuuggggge. Hugely obnoxious, that is. He annoys us here in Western NY, too.

The last 3 I've seen don't even talk about cars lol.

 

[maslex]

KIT KAT COMMERCIALS!!! STOP chomping the stupid candy bar!!!

 

[Angelrose]

Hannah and her horse. I can't mute it fast enough.

About the Trivago guy. I guess I'm the only one in the whole world who doesn't think he's creepy. I think he's kind of cute.

 

[Nancy]

Don't even get me started!

The SAM ad, where the woman is saying "I want SAM in my pants..." to the other woman. No. Just no...

ASPCA. I can't handle them! I end up all teary-eyed by the end of it.

The new Shick "Trim - Style" commercial - Not appropriate.

The Tena commercial "Let Yourself Go" where the woman shrieks in the car to a song, and the lady in the theater who cackles like a witch... I hate it!!!

Yikes... I have a long list of commercials that I hate, and I'm sure I can think of more! LOL

OMG..that Tena one makes me never want to buy their product...ever. That laugh, if I was sitting by her I would be holding back the urge to slap her hard. The SAM one is really bad too...and now for the same type of product they are going with the whole "people are using period pads for pee" seriously? I don't even know which product it is, but none of those commercials would make me want to use their product.

Liberty Mutual Insurance, any one. Mesothelioma law suits. Marie for Nutrisystem. Extenze. And finally, Cialis or Viagra.....call your doctor if 4 hours....WHY!!!!!! I would be ecstatic!

Oh, I'd call someone, but, it would be the National Enquirer. That would be news worthy!
