New most hated Commercial

[Cornbread]

Another one to add, I was watching the Vandy/Michigan game (for a little while anyway) and every commerical break there was the Heiniken Light commerical with that horrible song "Don't Cha." Hey, nothing wants me want to buy a beer like a scuzzy horrible song.

[Witchy Chick]

I've been meaning to add this one for a while, and keep forgetting:

That damn Taco Bell crunch commercial with the clown. "Keep the noise down. Soooo unprofessional." Yeah, whatever........you orange-suit-and-makeup-wearing uhhhhh......clown. I detest that commercial.

Yeah, I don't even understand that commercial. Why is he dressed as a clown, anyway?

I hate commercials that don't make any sense. There's one for Orbit gum where there's a woman at her desk, and she realizes she's out of gum, and then she just dumps a flowerpot full of dirt into her mouth. What's that all about? Are they saying that Orbit gum tastes like dirt?

I'm also annoyed by that Jazz Coke (or Pepsi) commercial, where the woman is walking along a city street and everything around her turns to jazz, like the honking of horns and construction work and so on. It just sounds terrible. I have to mute the TV when that one comes on.

Haven't read this thread yet so I can't see if it's already been mentioned but I completely LOATHE the new Taco Bell commerical about the "fun guy" dressed as a clown.

So unprofessional?
Try so stupid.

[bgfield]

I, OTOH, despise the Red Roof Inn commercials, and have to mute them.

Hell, I change the channel whenever they come on. I can't even stand to look at the guy anymore!

[bgfield]

Man tell me about it. What the heck does Kolber have to do with trucks? NOTHING except for the fact that they both make deep, loud, annoying sounds.

I'm on a roll here. Is she the one who's been doing the Chevy truck commercials lately who used to work for FOX or ESPN or whoever? I cannot stand that woman. Something about her face, and over-enthusiastic voice, makes me want to hurt her. Badly!

Beer commercial in direct contrast and funny as all get out (Michelob dark, I believe):

Three guys on a golf course, one of whom is talking loudly in his cell during buddy's shot about his love life, his recent massage, yadayadayada. Buddy yanks cell from obnoxious irritant, tees it up, and smacks it as hard as he can with his driver. Cut to advert, cut back to pic of buddy jamming cell phone in the ball washer.

Same beer company:
Girl gets flowers from guy, says to friend: "Wow, what a class thing to do, I didn't expect him to send flowers after I dumped him. Especially after I criticized his technique. And his endowment." Friend looks dubiously at flowers & says: "That's poison oak...."

The idea behind them being dark beer for people with dark humor, I guess.

You being a woman probably wont appreciate this one but I saw a Budweiser commercial a couple years ago when they were doing their "Budweiser. Real." campaign. A thin, not particularly attractive looking man was sitting in a club surrounded by a bunch of beautiful women. He says something and all the women laugh hysterically, followed by one of them saying "Oh John, you're so funny. I wish all guys could be like you!" John then says "Well, I'm available!" bringing out another round of laughs from the women.

Some other, tougher, looking man walks up and the thin man begins to introduce his friend to the ladies "Oh, Jake, this is..." Jake: "Yeah, whatever, I'm outta here, later." All the women go silent and look lost in thought. One asks, "What was his name again?" "Jake" "Jake..." Followed by "Budweiser. Real."

I think every man here can appreciate that ad.

Anyone who listens to the Orioles on the radio will agree with me: Steve Bailey has got to go down in his race for state's attorney, just for inflicting that awful, ridiculous song on us. "Steve Bailey, for state's attorNEY... justice for all!" Ugh.

[weams]

Gotta weigh in here:

The gecko on the geico commercials are the worse. I mean, why in God's name do I want to buy car insurance from a company that has a foreign gecko as it's "spokesman"?

The Kenny Mayne ad for Progressive insurance. What the hell is wrong with his walk? If he's disabled, he shouldn't be doing all that walking and if he thinks that's a cool walk, he's lost his mind.

I am sure that he thinks that it is cool and a lost mind is definately a disability...He thinks that he is "the Diceman" on a sporting intellect kick.

Yeah, I really want to punch that clown right in his nose like Uncle Buck and then punt that stupid "fun" crunch burrito.

[DoobyDoo]

I hate those PSP commercials.

As a professional commercial-hater(only things I hate more than bugs) I must say, every Taco Bell commercial since the talking dog has essentially been the worst commercial at that time, each new one defeating the last.

"You just have to lift up their little togas!"
You just have to STFU, nonsensical clowns. The toga thing in general was the absolute dumbest ad campaign.

Until the "good to go--- get a job!" commercials came about. What the hell? What is with this recent advertising wave of sticking in completely unrelated storylines into commercials that aren't even funny or worthwhile? What does the "grad home from college rooming with mom and dad" scenario have to do at ALL for the sale of tacos? The worst part of that commercial was one of the opening lines: "Hey son(sic), remember when you asked me to spice up your meals?" Who in their right mind would ask something so stupid and unlikely to their parents? I can't imagine anyone on this planet ever asking anyone but, I dunno, a Taco Bell employee that question. I wonder why the parents expect him to get a job and move out when they act like his personal fast food slave. Don't try to stick an unrelated story into your commercials if they don't even make sense.

And then the clown commercials, another big WTF campaign. I want to know who is actually writing, pitching, and greenlighting these terrible nonsense commercials. Especially when the entire basis of the commercial is the idea that "Crunchy = fun!" What? I have never in my life heard a single adult(or child for that matter) refer to crunchy food as "fun"... or any food for that matter. Nor have I ever had the desire to compare food to the "fun" of a clown. Not even gonna get into the actual aspect of the idiot in the clownsuit, it kind of speaks for itself(well, not really).


One of the most aggravating factors in bad commercial-production is when the people pitching and writing the ad have a false idea of what they're selling. So they end up doing the "This burrito is SO FUN!!!" thing and have characters in a commercials FREAKING OUT about how great a fast food product is. "OH MY SWEET HEAVENS, WENDY'S IS SELLING A 99 CENT BURGER!!!" Do they really think their viewers will watch other imbeciles freak out and get the idea that it's really that important? It seems really pathetic and quite embarrassing for the comedic geniuses who write the commercials.


Rant complete. Phew.

Yeah. How about "This crunchy burrito is freaking delicious. You should have one!" They almost certainly are not delicious, but you see my point.

When I'm in the market for greasy fast food, I could really care less if it's fun. I want it to be deliciously horrible for me and my liver.

5)Red Roof Inn commercials: "MUUUUULTI-TASKING!" and, "The chances of me working are. . .REMOTE! BWAHAHAHAHA!"

Ok.. the other ones were terrible, but this commercial is great! It's the only decent one on during O's games. Gets my friend and I laughing every time.

[BaltiJo]

I don't know about anyone else here, but I'm getting really tired of the new HD/Star Trek commercials. I never found it funny and its play frequency is high. Its been almost every commercial break during football and baseball playoffs for a few weeks now.

Please make them stop! Or at least let the Klingon ship blow up the Enterprise before Shatner can start droning on about how clear my TV's picture could be.
