New most hated Commercial

[bgfield]

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."

Oh yeah, those are some of the best commercials I've seen. I could do with a lot more of those and a lot less of the Cavemen commercials.

Speaking of, they're actually making a sitcom based on the Geico Cavemen, called (not surprisingly) "Cavemen." It's gonna be on ABC in the fall

Early reports are saying it's a terrible, terrible show. No surprise there.

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.

That one is pretty bad...but the dork in this Avis commercial takes the cake, and its on so often its really ridiculous.

Yeah, I've gotta be honest -- I like the Caveman commercials too.

The Caveman ad campaign, despite the sitcom, is one of the only really good series I've seen in the past few years. I hate commercials with burning passion, but those commercials are so oddly naturalistic, they're great.

On that note, a rare commercial I enjoy-- the Comcast commercial with Zach Galifinakis. Even though it's a Comcast commercial cross advertising with Spiderman(almost guaranteed to be obnoxious), Galifinakis' delivery of "That means you got the apartment!!" has me cracking up every time.

My gf likes to turn on the Today show as she is getting ready in the morning. They run almost exactly the same commercials every day during the 20-30 minute period she has it on.

Needless to say, I hate all of these commercials.

The Propel Fit water commercial with "Under Pressure" playing was actually pretty good the first and second times I saw it, but now it drives me insane.

The commercial for the Broadway show "Spring Awakening" makes me violent.

The candy bar commercial (Twix?) with the "need a moment?" catchphrase where the two guys are looking at a book about how to pick up women.

Any of the Alltel commercials.

There's one commercial in particular that I wanted to list here and now I can't remember it. I'm sure I'll see it tomorrow.

Okay, a few more I caught today:

Lion King on Broadway commercial - this is absolutely the most grating commercial of all the ones I've listed

The Color Purple on Broadway (OMG with Fantasia Barrino!!!111) commercial

Sears commercials for Father's Day

[Leitch]

Those Outback Steakhouse commercials advertising Fathers Day specials

[square634]

SUV commercial (I think Mazda) that says: "We had two choices, change the road or change the SUV" and then the SUV speeds around curves but the road mechanically rises so that it is banked. So what they are saying is: we could have changed our SUV, but instead we made it so that it would flip over unless you can find roads that bank themselves? Or am I missing the point of that commercial?

This one is pretty good though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7G_oDIo7_Q

The one in heavy rotation with the little girl singing "My Country Tis of Thee"....

...nothing wrong with the sentiment, but the obvious cuteness factor and the endless repetition makes this my least favorite since the old "Hail to the Chief" car ads a few months back.... ACK! As Witchy said, 4th of July can't get here soon enough.

I think it's the cheesiest, lamest attempt at provoking an "awwww" response. No little kid knows the lyrics to My Country Tis of Thee anymore. I laugh whenever she says "liborty."

I really wish advertising agencies would stop trying to use the "our product = America" exploitation method. It's an insult to America.

The Rocket Fishing Rod, endorsed by *gasp* ROLAND MARTIN!

One, this product is craptacular. Even the commercials betray the fact that the launcher mechanism has about as much strength as a popgun (remember those things, I loved mine).

Two, are we really letting our children get this sloppy and lazy that they don't have to learn how to cast a fishing line properly? It's not hard. When I was fishing regularly, I could cast 50 yards with a side arm throw (you know, in order to not be like that dopey kid at the beginning of the commercial who gets his line snarled in a tree behind him).

Three, Roland Martin is kind of a tool. "The Rocket Fishing Rod is great. It really catches fish, and everyone has a *blast* using it!" Get it, blast? Rocket...blast? Hardy har har. That's not what really irks me, though. What's that "really catches fish" crap? You can catch fish with a twig, hook, and line if you know how to bait the hook. You just don't have a reel to bring it in, you have to pull it in manually.

Honorable mention: the narrator who has an obvious Jersey enunciation. It's doubly apparent when he says button. "But'n."

Oh I hate that girl. I have to change the station whenever it comes on.

Another commercial that drove me nuts for awhile until it disappeared but has now come back is the McDonalds ice coffee commercial. The one where some woman tells an employee "Take these to Rogers and Lewis" and he walks down a warehouse sucking down the two cups of ice coffee until both are half empty. Then he cleverly hands the two men one ice coffee with a look on his face like he's crapping his pants. Ugh!

the lady that looks like a bird for the RoomStore commercials really irritates me.
