Step right up and tell us what commercial annoys the hell out of you!

That talking Gekko that sells insurance is starting to get really annoying.

The one that really annoys me is an ad for some cell phone or battery. But it has a teen in a cheerleading uniform just talking and talking and talking and talking......... I think ya get the point.

I find most commercials annoying.......................

I see some American ads on MSN. There's a very annoying one about white trousers and washing powder. But I quite like the one where there's only one man left in the world who can't attract women because his armpits "stink"...I like it because over here we probably wouldn't be quite so frank about his pits and we probably wouldn't say "stink."

Awwww...I think he's fun! Catherine Z. Jones and her cell phone ads make MY teeth itch!

I can imagine my students in the room after PE class, they would move to the other side of the room away from him! Ghads, they do whine about it! How do they think I feel!

:wah:

Commercials, I like the Geico lizard, he is kind of cute.

ALL of the commercials about BOB and his newly acquired or regenerated "prowess".

The car commercial where the guy kisses his wife goodbye and goes off to work - parachuting to his vehicle below.

I mean, what - he has a jet pack to get back up to his house at the end of the day!?!

I hate the Gecko too and there isn't enough money in the world to make me get that insurance. I had a friend who called them about CAR insurance and Geico wouldn't insure them because they own a rottweiler!

Oh my gawd...I forgot about BOB!! And that wife of his!!

Anything having to do with feminine hygiene products....or bladder control products!

What about the genital warts product commercials. :-2

I've just always wondered how to you go and do a commercial about having some sort of STD, then go out in real world and date. Surely someone has recognized them.

Viagra commercial, like let's tell the world!

Or any type of medicine, then they list 101 side effects-gives you the creeps!

Exactly Chronsi...here take this pill to cure your migranes, but it has a 90% chance of giving you the runs.

I remember a commercial, forget the pill..but it was for men, and if you were a woman who was pregnant, or considering getting pregnant..I guess you could not even handle the pill! Could cause birth defects or something.

Man, I wouldn't even want any part of that pill!!

I hate the lawyer commercials-if you were involved in an accident, or took a pill, or whatever.................................

The comercials kids will hate the most-the back to school sales.:wah:

Household cleaning products-the woman always looks so happy getting things clean.

Always a woman!

And what is she happy about!

A messy house?

Um I beg to differ, those houses on the commercials are not messy. :wah:

:wah: Yeah, they don't look like mine!

He looks like Yul Bryner in a way, but can he dance?

I think you've been huffing Lysol again. :-2

What ads annoy me, hell how long have you got hahaha. Practically every single one to be honest, I just can't stand them. Especially the ones that don't even make any sense, and who honestly watches some of these ads, and thinks "wow you know what, I'm going to go buy that." Hopefully not too many people. Ok rant over

I know what you mean! You wonder just WHO in BLAZES would be motivated to buy some of this stuff. Then you remember how much that air time costs and you know it must work.

Depressing.

On the other hand....there've been a lot of ads I've really liked! And I'll weep buckets at some of the Hallmark ones!

Oh dear, Chris, I do :-5

Well okay, not all the time, but I'm a sucker for new cleaning products...and shampoos that stop frizz...and three for two...and...

I'm going to stop now, Chris, because this could turn out to be a very long post.

I might be an advertiser's dream, but only "might be."

Ha-one new gadget I love, the one that cleans the shower!

OK,it has brought too my attention that i do not post much.So I will try too get more involved and start here.

One of my annoying ones is the one for virgin Mobile I think.Guys on a bus and he gets up and tells the two guys in the back too fight and then the old guy too turn the radio up then the girl in front of him too shake her junk.

but the most annoying I find is the ones for "weight loss" pills.Being a fitness buff,I can tell you that any of that is a load of crap.There is only one way,eat right and get off your ass...peroid.

this is all a rip off.

Excuse me? Mr. Clean is VERY hot!!! And just imagine how he'd leave the shower. :-6
