Subject: Commercials You Hate

Written By: lebeiw15 on 04/06/03 at 07:36 p.m.

There are plenty of annoying commercials out there.  What are some of the ones you just can't stand?

The top one is that annoying "Can You Hear Me Now?"

Also, I despise any commercial for Bounty paper towel, Resolve carpet cleaner, etc. where the kid spills a bowl of spaghetti on the floor, and the mom just laughs and hugs her son as she grabs a bottle of Resolve, and everything is okay, right?  I mean, I spilled stuff on the floor as a kid, and I tell ya, if only life was like that...  ::)

Yeah I agree with the "Can You Hear Me Now?" ones.  Except the one with the boy scout troop was pretty funny.  I dont care for most of the GAP commericals either.  The 10-10-220 commericals are starting to get on my nerves too.

"Meow, Meow, Meow" cat food comercials
any diaper commercial
The Bratney Spears 2000/2001 Pepsi commercials
the classic "Don't Squeeze The Charmin" commercials
"My Buddy" dolls (Couldn't stand the jingle!)
Carrot Top phone commercials
(Whatever happened to those sappy,but watchable phone commercials)
any personal hygene commercial
and a lot others I dispise.  :P

I'd have to agree with POP, the Summer's Eve and OB/Tampax commercials bug me.  

And, lebiew, you are right, if one of MY kids spilled spaghetti on the carpet, I wouldn't be laughing!

Oh, and the paper towel ones where the kids have these huge glasses of juice and spill it.  Who in their right minds gives a kid a glass that is almost as big as they are?

I hate that commercial too. It seems to me that would be a failed marketing campaign. I don't want to know if anyone uses tampons please and don't call me a pearl girl....

There are some pretty disturbing car commercials on right now, I think it's for KIA, where they talk about kids and say "Protect them while you can." It shows a kid attacked by a monkey, etc etc.

and I still don't like the pull ups commercial "I'm a big kid look what I can do....I can wear big kids pants too!" arrrggh that works my last nerve. ::) :P

I personally cannot stand any commercials for prescription medications.

People who have not heard of these drugs go to the doctor asking for them, leading to one of two possible actions: either the price of the drug is driven up in order to keep up with the demand, causing my health insurance to quit covering it, or it very quickly becomes an Over-The-Counter drug.

Which also causes my insurance to quit paying for it.

Did anyone see that South Park episode where the kids met Jared and he told them the secret of his weight loss?

JARED:  Well, eating sub sandwiches was a big part of it. But the way that I lost so much weight was that I got aides.
CARTMAN:  ...AIDS?
JARED:  That's right. I got aides about two years ago and I've been losing weight ever since. It's amazing how slim you can get with aides.
STAN:  ...I'll bet you can.
JARED:  Would you like to meet them?  This is Scott, my personal trainer, and Tyler, my dietitician.

um...commercials I hate...

1.  The one with that guy walking through his office and everybodys asking him if he changed something, and then they say, "He asked his doctor about Viagra!"  I hate that commercial because I keep expecting the comera to back up and show him having an eight foot penis sticking through his pants...well that would be funny, but highly un-logical...anyway...

2.  That oveltene(sp) commercial where the kids are like running around the neighborhood saying, "my moms making oveltene!" and then they get there and the moms like, in an extremely corny way, "Ive better make more!"  well this commercial, actually, is more funny because its just so pathetic...

3.  And then that commercial for a car, where theyre trying to show a bad commercial for a car, and it has these two men wearing glasses who look alike(the proclaimers) and theyre like, "Ill beat anybody's price!"  Its just so pathetic!  And the Proclaimers would fit this role, "This car only has 500 miles..."  ;)

4.  Any commercial where they play a song, and its sung by someone who isnt the origional artist...I mean not even a famous recording of the song...well its ok usually, until youve got a man singing "I feel like a woman"

5.  That commercial for Askjeaves.com where that little girl and Jeaves are walking the streets, and she keeps asking him questions, and he keeps providing the answers right away...thats not askjeaves.com...askjeaves.com would be, "Jeaves, why is the sky blue?" "Well you could go to your library, which is located three blocks to the east, to figure that out!"

Commercials I like:

That dominoes one where the dad gets hit in the head by the puck...that dilivery boy makes that one!  But then they cut it, so it sucks...

That commercial with Jason Giambi hitting the balls out of Yankee stadium, and they have the markers all around the town as to how far the ball has traveled if it ends up there...

That commercial with that man playing a video game, and then he jumps up and says, "Whooda man!  Whooda man!  Its my birthday!" and then he gets out of breath...awesome commercial!

Wow...I watch way too much tv :)...no wonder why I have so many parodies about television...

Another one is this car commercial that has a voice over and song by Celine Dion, about "driving all night"

There is a local commercial for a car sales company here that has a podunk guy named "Harv"  and his horse "Tyrone".  First of all, everyone in town knows Harv (he is a real local), and he is older than the hills and never had a horse named Tyrone. He also can't act. So it sounds like he is reading from a page (which he is).

"Hey Tyrone, hold still so I kin jemp atcha from BE-hind like those there pitcher shows.." and then you hear Tyrone whinney...yeah right Harv, we know what you did to Tyrone... ;D

I am like a lot of other people who hates those prescription ads. Sometimes the side effects that they list sounds worse then the disease. The one that really cracks me up is for "NON"-drousy Allegra and when you listen to the side effects, one of them is (in fact) drousiness. Does that make sense? All that money for ads so the pharmacutical companies can add to the price of these "miracle" cures. They claim that the high prices are for "research." Research my @$$!

The part that really gets on my last nerve is in the end where one guy goes" next thing you know they'll have us up on the telephone poles" "With pigeons?!" Once some guy does this cooing like a pigeon I want to scream. I would watch the news everymorning and that commercial was on...every morning. Oh well.

Any ad that has whispery voice overs. Like the new one for Nescafe Gold Coffee. I've always found whispering incredibly annoying, and on TV it's worse. Also radio ads for bedding retailers that have someone yawning in them. That's annoying. Didn't anyone ever tell these idiots that yawning is a reflex action? There's nothing I hate more than driving along to work at 6am have some moron YAWN at me over the radio. There's other ways to advertise beds than have some fool yawn.

Also any ad with Alisa Camplin in it. So she got a stylist, but could someone give her voice training please? She sounds like a 9 year old. When do aerial skiiers become experts on dental health, anyway?

Oh yeah, and ads where they show people in lab coats doing clinical tests. Especially the Sudafed one with those idiotic noses. Do they really expect us to believe that "Sudafed Laboratories" looks like an advertising agency and has a big sign inside the place that says "Sudafed Laboratories"?

I hate pretty much all of them, especially the ones with violence. When people are fighting, or if there's destruction of something, I find that very offensive. I think it sets a very bad example especially for younger viewers.
For example, there's this one ad, I forget what's being advertised, but a father and his son go to the park to do some rocket flying, but they accidentally blow up the car in the process! I can't stand to look at that; I either cover my eyes or change the channel.

I also detest any commercial that takes a popular song, changes the lyrics, and use it for commercial purposes! Personally, I think that the FCC should ban that. It absolutely bugs me!  >:( (I mean, parodies are one thing, but using different lyrics for commercials is another.) For example, Robinsons-May (I think) takes the song "Always something there to remind me" (by Naked Eyes) and changes the word "remind" to "excite" for their current ads. A few years ago they butchered "We Got The Beat" by the Go-Gos. If I'm watching TV and a commercial like that comes on, I just hit the mute button. If such an ad comes on the radio, I change the station.

Thanks to people driving gas-sucking trucks and SUV's, our national security is made weaker due to reliance on imported fuels.

Who said it's cheating?  Maybe the race was simply defined as "quickest time from Point A to Point B" and the other players just ASSUMED they had to stay on the road.

Reminds me of a few years ago, I was in a "creativity class".  The class was divided up into 5 teams.  We had to build the highest bridge possible, using only popsicle sticks, a glue gun, and glue sticks.

My team made the bridge OUT OF SOLID GLUE STICKS and the bridge was a monster!  The teacher agreed that we did not cheat, and explained to the other groups that THIS was the type of creativity she was trying to teach!  Heh heh...  ;D

You mean that new "Meow Mix Hairball Formula" ad they've been running?  I thought that ad was cool.

And it's interesting to get to see "behind the scenes" as to how they record the Meow Mix theme song.

;D

I'm sure it would be interesting... but I personally find it annoying. They've been doing that song for years; at first I didn't mind it, with just the cats doing it (altho I'm pretty sure it's some actor doing a voice-over), but when people started singing it on camera, it started to become bothersome (for lack of a better word). But I don't detest it as much as other ads.

The one I like is where there is a cat that starts singing the "Meow Mix" tune.  The woman hears this, smiles at the cat and then serves him up a big bowl of Meow Mix.

The husband, seeing all of this, starts to sing "Beer Beer Beer Beer", but all he gets is a dirty look from the wife and no beer.

;D

I don't like the hotel one that makes a parody of 'wouldn't it be lovely' (they play it way to much), I also dislike the one where the guy is advertising weight loss pills and his voice is like several seconds off (CHEAP), and the Spanish channel commercial (yes I watch spanish tv) where its the Charmin bear, really gross commercial, no one's that happen when they use the restroom.

Every year before Easter (at least for the past few years), they show this commercial with a bunch of Cadbury bunnies singing; I can't stand the sound of that, it's like nails on a chalkboard! Now don't get me wrong, I think the bunnies are cute, but if you have to make 'em sing, why do they have to sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks? ::)

I also hate those commercials that have some guy/woman doing something they are not trained to do (like surgery) only because they stayed at a Holiday Inn. So that makes them smart enough to do brain surgery??    ??? ::)  Give me a break!

Would you'd rather have them sound like the rabbit and Guinea pig that advertises for Blockbuster Video? ;D

Remember the old Christmas Norelco Electric Razor ad that they used to run?

It had Santa Claus riding a Norelco razor down a snowbank, and then the commercial said Nöelco.  Cool.  8)

They must have run that ad for at least 30 years, but I have not seen it for probably 10 years.  :'(
