All of us see commercials in our lives, which ones get under your skin?

Right now I'm annoyed at this ad for Fiber One bars. It shows a couple putting away groceries, when the wife tells the husband he should get more fiber. The husband's response?

"Fiber makes me... sad.

WTF!? Did you dad get gunned down at a shredded wheat factory? Did your mom choke on a bran muffin?

Most car insurance commercials are annoying, although Geico has a few that get a chuckle. The most annoying to me however, are the JG Wentworth ads. All of them!

I swear I want to kill these kids.

I hate the commercials that start with a blaring alarm clock. I know they just do it to grab attention and that sound makes me cringe. I also hate the axe body spray commercials. It's like they think think I'm stupid enough to believe that spraying that crap on me will cause hot girls to swarm on me like bees.

I think we should expand this thread to include crazy and wacky commercials too...


Yes, this one is REAL. I saw it on TV once.




I'd love to also post the "Jack Chop" Youtube vid but I don't wanna get in trouble for language. Look it up - it's great!

This Sunsetter Awning commercial; though the radio ones are worse.

Old Navy ads. All of them.


Actually, any iCult commercial.

Those damn commercials that keep trying to get people to donate their hard earned money to animal shelters. Freaking jokes.

Friggin' HATE this one... Life Alert, too.

For once, I agree with you. Those ASPCA ads, that they seem to play on Comedy Central more than any other channel. You're sitting there, enjoying the Daily Show, BAM! A bunch of sad animals crying and asking why you're not helping them. It's like they were designed specifically to ruin people's good times. South Park did an episode about it, too, the first few minutes basically being this entire paragraph.

Also, Old Navy ads. Their songs suck, and anyone who shops at Old navy because of them likely has a critically low IQ.

National Guard Radio Commercials.
Moron with the camcorder on the tornado: MORE OF'EM! MAN THOSE GUYS GOTTA BE CRAZY HEADED INTO THAT STUFF!
Obnoxious jock: HEY! THATS WHAT THE GUARD DOES!

I swear, if the military heard these commercials, they would follow the national guard around while in the backs of their trucks and point at them and laugh.

The National Guard is part of the military.

Yes, I know this, but I kind of alwas pictured it as it's own little branch, alot more public, and alot less dangerous. It's like cannon for the real soldiers to point and laugh, especially after those godaweful commercials.

ANOTHER THING
HITPRO COMMERCIALS.

Oh, and I almost forgot... Those overactive bladder "vesicare" commercials.

Hate all of the commercials in this series

I hate those commercials that end in I'm a mormon. No offense to anyone who is, but why do they have to talk about their livelihood which isn't any different than ours? Why is theirs so special?

Tim Horton's went out of business in New England as far as I know.

Sux 4 u.

I hate all the Vonage (at least I think that's what it is; it's one of the phone companies) commercials with that stupid theme song. It's got to be the dumbest, most annoying theme song ever.

Lately, it's been the commercials of either the BMW or the perfume commercial that uses the song Outlands by Daft Punk from the Tron: Legacy soundtrack.

I cant think of what it's called, but there's been an infomercial dominating CN/Nick for weeks now. It's some kind of slushy machine without using a blender. It's got to be the worst commercial of all time.

Interesting that you mentioned that; I'm listening to the TRON: Legacy soundtrack right as I read that and type this post (the track "Solar Sailer" is playing, though). I'm not familiar with that commercial, but using such an awesome song in it would make me love it, not hate it.

Usually that's the case, but each time the BMW commercial comes on - it only makes me want to write a Tron x Transformers crossover

I feel that I have seen enough commercials in my entire life. I know what I need to stay alive in terms of products, already have a charity and know where to get all of that stuff.

So thank you TV, internet and radio. Please put on something without interruption.

Anything involving Degrassi.
