Of the current ads on TV which ones annoy the hell out of you and why?

Question

For some bizarre reason I can't explain I can't stand the opel astra one where the cars are flying about to that swing song.

Answer 1

Man, you guys are missing some of the ones I hate the most...



Chevy trucks "Our Country" ads which have been played TO DEATH!!! Hey GM, if you going to save yourself from bankruptcy, take it easy on the advertising expense.



The HDTV commericial with that creepy girl and elephant just enimatically saying "it's the mirrors" and babbling on and on...."clearer will be clearer...blah blah"



Or any in-network commercial that promises some new mid-season replacement as "the next big hit in primetime". A good example was the show "Daybreak" which they hyped to death and then it was cancelled in 6 weeks!!!



I also can't stand those Hummer commercials. There's one with some jabroni talking about how he customized his H2 then he couldn't just stop and then he drives off the pier into the water. I hope he drowns!!! There's another Hummer commercial with a Star Trek theme. They play that one to death and who the hell drives around in a blizzard!!!



Finally, how bout those stupid Citibank Card rewards ad with some German dude and his young loverboy talking about how easy it is get reward points. What's up with all this Eurotrash as comedy trend lately?



Ok, rant over...thanks!

Answer 2

Most ads annoy me. Cable TV was originall promoted with the idea that since you paid for it, they would not need advertising dollars to provide programming. Now cable is all ads all the time. The worst are "infomercials" if some clown's investment strategy is so great, why is he selling it? and why does it have to be at 2:00 am.?

Answer 3

Can't remember the buttery spread name but really is there any need for a grown man to have tears rolling down his cheeks in front of his young children cos he got buttery goodness on his corn on the cob its embarrassing. Plus the Bisto lets get together and have a family dinner with a bottle of processed sauce and think that we are brilliant- ahhh pathetic.

Answer 4

All the sofa ads...they are relentless! Also the most achingly horrible are those with someone shouting the ad at the top of their voice really fast [double glazing comes to mind] I leap up to switch off the sound!

Answer 5

Vonage commercials are noisy and stupid and it sounds like they're saying "bondage"



Diaper commercials are a waste of air time.



That stupid Truck commercial with that guy who says random words of wisdom. Actually, most all car commercials annoy me because they make no sense, but this one is the dumbest.



Pepto Bismol commercials are funny the first time, and stupid afterwards.

Answer 6

How can you say that about Barry Scott?



The one where the woman runs into a forest and starts hugging/dancinc with an elephant.



Oh, and the one where the guy says, 'Dont look at me, Im not gonna tell you what to do'.

Answer 7

I think it's a geico commercial. It's the one with Verne Troyer singing at the end and doing the "Cabbage Patch" I cannot stand that one.

Answer 8

It's so crap I can't even remember the product's name but it's the ad with the weird girl in glasses and a red evening dress advertising double glazing. Most peculiar.

Answer 9

Cillit Bang.

The guy shouts all the way through the ad & he really, really gets on my nerves. I have to change channels every time I see it start.

Surely someone could have told him that we will still hear himif he speaks in a normal manner.

Answer 10

For a while I thought if I saw another ad for the show "Dirt" I was gonna break the TV. It was on every commercial break while I was trying to watch Nip/Tuck.

Answer 11

Answer 13

Safestyle windows and cillit bang, cillit for the shouting and cheap look and safestyle for the hysteria and general loathsomeness of the actors (the word actors used loosely)
