New most hated Commercial

[Spoonless]

I know this is way late, but I once posted how I hated this commercial on another forum I once posted at, with users more spread out across the country. Apparently, this song isn't just for Shaw's. Someone wrote this piece of crap and sang it for a bunch of different jewelry stores across the country. It's pretty depressing to know that no matter where I go I might be subjected to these awful, awful commercials.

Yeah, that sounds like the Belden's Jewlers song in RI.

I think I would rather work as a gravedigger than be the guy who writes the "(Insert Jewelry Store Here) Jewelers" theme song. I wonder if that guy is proud, artistically, of what he's done with his life.

I once worked with a guy who moved away somewhere to pursue a career in writing jingles for commercials and TV shows. What a strange aspiration.


I have a new hated commercial now, and only because I have to watch it EVERY SINGLE TIME I click a highlight from a game on an mlb.com site. That rightguard commercial where the couple is hiking in the woods and they come upon a deer. The guy charges up to it for some reason, the deer kicks his ass then runs away, and the guy sniffs his armpit. It just makes NO SENSE.

I live in SC, but I get MASN via Extra Innings.
I hate the Maryland Lottery commerical.
"She was standing there like you know who."
The fact that it's on every break makes it worse.
I hate it.
At least that's how I remember it.

Don't like the new minivan one where the kids are acting up, a DVD players is turned on, and the kids suddenly all act like zombies staring at the TV.

Usually it takes two trucks to tow 11,000 pounds.
But not if you're Jim and you have the new Ford F-150.

How's that work Jim?
Fully boxed frame, Mike.
*With air of pompousness and self-righteousness* Fully boxed frame.
Or... not fully boxed... The choice is yours, but... how are you going to drive two trucks at once?

I second this as the season's most annoying commercial! It makes me long for the Red Roof Inn commercials. I mean c'mon.... "that deal is HOT!"

I hate the ING commercials on MASN. They're just... unbelievably snotty.

First commercial: Money is the root of all happiness! Do not try to find it elsewhere! (sidenote: who the hell does yoga as a spiritual thing anymore? And why is the yoga instructor spouting existentialist theory? Oh that's right! Because all spiritual/philisophical ideas or customs are the same to ING: complete wastes of time. You know what isn't a complete waste of time? Having nice cars!)
Second commercial: You're spending your money somewhere? BLASPHEMY! That is a joke! A joke among jokes! You must never spend money, even though it is the root of all happiness. You must invest it and never spend it until you die. Okay, maybe it isn't a complete waste of money to buy food and clothing for your family, but that's all you get! You materialist ass.

The Avis commercial where the customer and Avis representative communicate by opening their mouths and that "I wanna rock" song plays. Just the worst idea for a commercial I've ever heard of in my life. Yes, this is horrible, this idea.

Not exactly new, but Collins College ads on G4. Does any kid actually fall for these lame ass "this is what game designers really do" commercials? Kids are way smarter than that these days.

Not to mention, I not only am a sound guy, but I've used that sound board they've got, and the knob (pot) the guy turns to "play a sound effect" is an EQ pot.

I'm not sure if it's new or not, but there's this one Popeyes commercial that's pretty annoying. The jingle is irritating (Hey, you, I like it like that...over and over again) and then there's the guy who appears to be competing for the biggest douche in the universe award. The commercial really only consists of some guy dancing and that awful jingle so it's not easy to describe.

Don't think I've seen it, but I have to question if it could possibly be as bad as their other jingle recently "What's your flava, tell me what's your flava!"

Ugh.

The reverse mortgage commercial annoys me, because I'm just certain they're getting elderly people to sign over their houses without realizing they might be getting scammed.

Does a thread need to die first before it can be deemed 'classic'? If so, I'm guessing this and "Post Here When You're Drunk" don't stand a chance.

He's probably been mentioned somewhere in this thread, but I'm pretty tired of the Geico lizard.

However, I LOVE these new Geico commercials with Loren Wallace, or whatever his name is, ripping on Mike Wallace the whole time.

"Isn't he your cousin?"
"I'm not saying I wouldn't go fishing with the man. But when it comes to Mike
Wallace, the story ends with me putting him in the wall."

All of the new KFC "the bucket's back" commercials are pretty annoying. I mean, guys who tear into a bucket of KFC without even sitting down probably never stopped eating the stuff due to the trans fat in the first place.

I've been getting a kick out of the "Gold Kit" Commercials. I love the logic.

Maybe it plays out like this...
"I've got all this useless gold laying around the house, what am I going to do?"
"Contact the folks at Goldkit.com and we'll PAY you for your gold! They'll send you a completely discreet mailing kit, complete with gold exterior and markings that read 'Attn: Unwanted Gold inside, handle with care!"
"They're going to pay me for all my gold jewelry, candstick holders, and tooth caps? That's crazy!"

Weeks later:

"I got a check today from the fine folks at Gold kit for $22.47 for 40 lbs of gold that was literally rotting in my house. Thanks guys, me and the family will be going to the Bahamas with this moo-lah!"
