Subject: RADIO Commercials You Hate
Post 'em here. I for one have hated Wendy's commercials over the years and they keep getting worse and worse. I am tired of hearing "Late Night With Lou And Al" or whatever it is now.
Subject: Re: RADIO Commercials You Hate
there's this local commercial for red robin with a local radio guy...it drives me insane, the commerical seriously lasts three minutes!
Subject: Re: RADIO Commercials You Hate
There are a couple of local computer guys, one that sells desktops and one that sells laptops. They are best friends and have the same kind of commercials. Loud and in your face. I am so sick of Super Del and Dan the Laptop Man! >:(

Radio commercials....hmmm, they all pretty much suck IMO. :)
Subject: Re: RADIO Commercials You Hate
A local "personal injury" lawyer (that's pronounced AMBULANCE CHASER), has taken a number of hit songs from the late 80's/early 90's and sings his sales pitch, instead of the actual singer.
It aggrivates the p*** out of me...
There is also an ad for a "personals" club the station is a stockholder is in. I swear everyone and their aunt Matilda is running a personals page these days....if the durned things really worked, there would only be one or two in existince, right? I hate these things.

Let's hear it for the Outback Steakhouse.
Nobody ever loves ya like ya mum!
Everything we owe we owe to mum!
Even when she whacks ya on the bum!
Mum's the word and so the word is mum!
That's me mum!
I have never heard a better argument for outlawing Mother's Day.

I really pray no one on the east coast says "That Pizza Hut ad with the guy talking about BBQ lovers pizza like it was the next best thing to sex..."

I should add, as this IS a radio commercials suck thread that there are MANY MANY MANY times I've been given scripts for v/o's and think to myself "Who writes this sh!t?"...I particularly hate the local furniture salesman who writes and records his own commercials...but you know what? It's the ones we hate that we remember and that's the power of advertising...It does backfire though when people get so annoyed they refuse to use/buy the product being advertised.

Uhh, I only recognize one of the commercials listed above, and that was the Outback Steakhouse one. IMO, every Outback Steakhouse commercial is annoying. And that Mother's Day one was overplayed on about every radio station here!
Subject: Re: RADIO Commercials You Hate
That's a given, right? Hating those stupid radio commercials. It would be like asking, "Which telemarketers and pop up ads do you hate?" Duh! That's it! I'm getting satellite radio, man.
Subject: Re: RADIO Commercials You Hate
I hate the ones"And for the radio forecast today is 12 degrees in the afternoon..." or wait thats not a commercial is it?
Subject: Re: RADIO Commercials You Hate
There are a lot of terrible radio commercials - topping the list is one for a telephone comany called Cucumber 1-800 Cucumber.Plus, the name of the company is pretty weird and subject to ridicule. I can't stand that kid's voice !!!
Subject: Re: RADIO Commercials You Hate
I hate just about all of them, especially the Broad Ripple heating and air conditioning ones. They only use Lennox air conditioning, which I would not buy after hearing these incessant ads.
Subject: Re: RADIO Commercials You Hate
Anything with that bratty Roger's kid. Her voice is so damn aggravating!
Subject: Re: RADIO Commercials You Hate
I hate the radio commercials that advertise a company called Coaldseal Windows that are based on nursery rhymes. I do like one that is based on a song that goes, "Boom boom boom, everybody say a way-oh. (Way-oh)." It was out in the mid 90s and it always got played at holiday nightclubs, but I can't remember who sings it.

If anyone else in Canada knows the comercials for Quiznos subs, with Don Cherry advertising it.
(Don Cherry is a very well known Canadian loudmouth for those of you that don't know who he is).
