What commercials send you running for the mute button?

Hotels.com with their Captain Obvious spots.

Pretty much agree that all commercials are annoying. The worse ones are the toilet paper commercials "going commando" and "we all have to go lets enjoy the go" I can't believe that some advertising agencys are getting paid big bucks for coming up with some of these commercials.

All of them!!

Even the cute and funny ones, After you see them once or twice. Im so over it.

TTBJ for Tivo.

Progressive Insurance " Flo " any of the commercials I can't stand her

OMG!! I want to run her over in my car covered by Progressive!!!!!!

No one has mentioned the Skittles commercials? Those things are so repulsive the thought of the product now makes me want to hurl.

And that stupid pregnancy test commercial where the friend says "I think I'm going to cry" because her friend is pregnant, according to a test you buy in a drug store. Yargh.

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.

Another vote for this Value City commercial. I shudder every time I hear the thing.

 

[Poohbug]

Any ridiculously long commercial with singing numbers that end in nine, nine, nine.

All ED commercials but especially the ones with not a man in sight.

Hannah and her horse can never replace Rob Lowe. Really DirecTv??

You can kill any commercial by playing it during every break. More is not always better.

I really hate the creepy horror movie/show ads played in prime time. Yeah, my kids need to be freaked out before bedtime. Thanks a lot.

We Buy Any Car. The song makes me want to shoot the TV a la Elvis. We buy any car, ANY! ANY! ANY! ANY!

In Texas, Thomas J. Henry, injury attorney. "Broken arm? I'll get you a (multi-million) dollar settlement".

Every commercial break, no matter the channel, seems to include one of his commercials.

Ugh.

There's a tax attorney around here named Steven Moskowitz. He has this droning voice on radio, but he also does TV spots and participates in at least TV show (on sports law strangely enough even though it's not his practice). Images of him look like a guy barely kept alive by technology. Gaunt is an understatement.

Any and all car insurance ads, but particularly GEICO. From the cavemen (my stomach turned at the first ad!) to "Hmmm, 15 minutes can save you 15% in car insurance!" "Everybody knows that!" I've hated them. I wouldn't drive if my only option was GEICO.

Locally, Toyota of Orlando and the NEW Toyota of Clermont drive me nuts. The spokespersons are annoying, they talk too fast, and just how long is the NEW Toyota of Clermont going to be NEW? They've been open for a couple of years now; are their 2013 Toyotas considered NEW?

Progressive Insurance " Flo " any of the commercials I can't stand her

..but the "Sprinkles are for winners" "afternoon school special style" commercial is hilarious!

I love Flo!

Monster truck rally ads, especially the announcer who sounds like he smokes two packs a day.

... aaaand, now the We Buy Any Car song will be stuck in my head for the next few hours. Thanks!

Connie and her husband What's His Name from Consumer Cellular drive me crazy. And for anyone from the SW PA area, Alicia from Allgood get's immediate muting. Her voice is like driving ice picks into my ears. The excessive blinking is kind of hypnotic, though.

There's a recent series that looks kind of like a video blogger showing what he plans on doing with his Samsung phone. Then it just veers off into the absurd, including stuff that looks like he's a secret agent battling enemies or that he's some parkour fiend jumping off the roof into a dumpster.

I'm just wondering how long it takes before someone tries to imitate that stuff and is seriously injured or dies.

 

[GaSleepingBeautyFan]

All of them. And I used to work for Advertising Agencies. It's been years since I've watched a TV show in real time. We DVR them all.

And if it is a rare occasion when we watch a show live, we mute it when the commercials come on. And usually we leave the room too to get drinks or whatever since it's easy to back up if we miss something.

[JaneBanks]

Geiko, especially the whiny one where he says "I HAVE A FLAT TIRE". It makes me want to take a tire iron to the screen.

 

[MinnieLovesMickey]

All of the dating site commercials, they are getting very bizarre. How many different sites do we need? I'm waiting for like Cat Lady Dating or I Like Burger King Dating.

Also the Candy Crush commercials are getting really old.
