The eye drop commercial is funny, it's Ben Stein I can't stand!

Commercials I hate:
1. Bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, pant, pant, pant, IT'S BACON!
2. What does everybody want for breakfast? Honey Bunches of Oats!
3. Deitech.com commercials with the fat mortgage salesman.
4. Any commercial for mutual funds.
5. Male enhancement product commercial featuring cocktail weenies.
6. Local commercial for "Bob's Discount Furniture," featuring "Bob" shouting about
his latest great deals.  There's sure to be one like this in your market, too.
7. SUV commercials featuring off-adventures when you know they're all being sold to soccer moms in Downers Grove.
8. Ads for either Presidential candidate.
9. Carnival Cruise commercial w/ Cyndi Lauper song.
10. Swiffer with variation on Devo's "Whip It."
--I know I'm forgetting 100 doozies, so I'll have to come back to this one!


OMG  You must live in Ct. I hate those commericals, I walked into his store, punched his cardboard cutout in the face and knocked it on its ass. A totally random thing but it felt good. The best thing about moving to Fla was escaping those commercials. But we have another guy just as annoying who owns a place called The Mattress  Barn. He is such a tool.

During the WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE ..they show some of thier sponsors..(I want to say Caltril-) shows a woman sitting in a white chair with shoes off leaning forward teling us about the product, It just looks like she's sitting on a big 'toilet bowl'...   


BONUS:  On a short 'HOT POCKET PANINI' commercial, shows 2 teen boys talking to each other, the thin boy with the brown hair bare opens his mouth but just seeing inside looks like his lower teeth are like a bottle opener-all crooked bent inward(Wil Farrell has the same type it seems)....yecchhh..maybe he'll use the money to get some dental work done..(nothing against him..just giving a heads up)

Aha! I guess THEY expect us to read while they SHOW us all the action?

I also wondered how they show cars in commercials riding through the mountain scenery, then you can't see through the windows_(WHO WANTS A CAR LIKE THAT?)
Then when they show it parked, the windows are clear as day! Also ever see in car commercials how they cleverly don't have license plates?

Yeah, I think the drug commercials are very annoying where the list of potential side affects (mentioned at the end) is longer than the actual commercial itself.    Side affects include constipation diahrea, bleeding eyes, hole in stomach, no erection, hair falling out, brown teeth. and so on and so on.

"The-Friendly's-Super-Summer-Sundae-Cele-braaation!"

My new most-hated commercial is that idiotic Castrol ad with the moron in a kilt & tam-o-shanter whipping guys with a dipstick, even the one who's actually BUYING Castrol.

ALL Paid Programming blocks. In essence, they are "supercommercials" because like your typical 30 second spot, they pay money for the station/network except that its 30 minutes long! That same phone number on the bottom of the screen the whole half hour, that you remember the number more than the product! What's worse is that many occur on major networks on weekend daytime hours when many people are free to watch TV! Also I don't know why 20 or so shopping channels exists on TV where you can just go either online, or for the non-internet shoppers, to the store! Just QVC, HSN, and ShopNBC will do!

The fact is that gold & silver are up these days. In fact, I'm planning on selling some of my coins-but I will NEVER bring them to some place like that. Those guys are in the business to make $$$$. They will probably pay you less so they can sell it for more. What I'm going to do is take mine to an auction house. This way they are going directly to the buyers-and avoid the dealer. Unfortunately, it is going to cost me because I have to pay the auctioneer. But, there is the possibility that the price can go WAY up-rather than just a fixed price that a dealer will pay you. However, there is the possibility that it won't get as high as you would hope.  :-\\


I hate these commercials saying that this is a good time to buy gold. The fact is, since gold is high-this is a good time to SELL it. Buy low-sell high. A DUH!!!!

Furthermore, I hate any frikkin' commercial in which they trot out the kids and the family dog.  If you are a local business with 30 seconds of air time, don't do that.  Spend the same amount of money to pay an art student from the college, it's guaranteed to be better than mom and dad and bud and sis, and a little dog named Snuggles. 

One caveat: The art school kid might think it's hilariously PoMo to do the fam and the dog routine.  Don't fall for this.

Then again, I've been wishing that for the last 25 years.  :P

Me too.  I left a screed about those ASPCA ads earlier in the thread.  I never met a dog I didn't like so when they show those sad-eyed dogs, I go "awww..." and then I feel a wee bit exploited!

Infiniti (all of them from the start)

An automobile, as we know it, is an internal combustion engine-powered vehicle built out of steel, rubber, plastics, glass, and upholstery.  If you pay a wheelbarrow full of money, you get to own one that's really comfortable.  That's the fat.  That's the skinny.  That's the way the cookie crumbles.  An automobile is a non-sentient entity.  It has no bearing on your value in the universe.

They were stylin'!

But it's a car, not a spiritual movement.

Well if you put it that way, I used to get really irritated when I'd hear that creepy kid whisper "Zoom, zoom!" in those Mazda commercials. I've long since become numb to it... :P

Odyssey, Howard, Mistress, I know how you feel. That commercial is heartbreaking. Karma to Sarah MacLachlan for trying to help them.

Now, if we want to feed the dogs something, how about that infuriating FioS boy!? Everytime I see him trying to force that crappo system on people, I want to decapitate him with a satellite dish!

Your Pal,
Doc
