Those Gatorade or rather "G" commericals exude obnoxiousiness. It's not all about dynasties, greatness, speed, or anything else. It's a drink. It's just a drink. The Jackie Robinson look-a-like was horrible because Gatorade didn't exist back then and I'm sure if it did I'm sure they would have signed him to an endorsement deal.
It's just a drink with electrolydes...let's not use a bunch of bells, whistles, and John Wooden to make it look like something more.

The E-surance commerical with that guy singing has to be one of the worst sounds I've ever heard.
"It's okay to be yourself...it's okay to be yourself.....it's okay to be yourself"
I believe that song is the sound of insanity.
-
Have to do this in code because of stupid caps prevention... the annoyingness of this commercial cannot be conveyed in proper grammar:
SEVENTY NINE EIGHTY NINE NINETY NINE YA YA YAAAAA
I HATE YOU TACO BELL
UGH:cussing:
I loathe that commerical, but I do like those 89 cent burritos.
That commerical and the Free Credit Report commericals are ones that I have to mute as soon as I see them. They make my brain bleed.

Three more I hate....
*The Lowe's commerical with the guy asking the woman working there to pretend to be his wife and react to his gift ideas. Lowe's is one of the last places I'd shop for a woman. Then he ends up a buying her a Lowe's gift card. Yeah, that way she can pick out that sweet power drill she's been wanting.
*Verizon with the guy giving his family phones. 'Saving the best for numero uno' Yeah, good for you. If you're buying phones, get yourself the best one. You don't have to brag to yourself (and your massive country sized network) about the fact.
*I don't hate this one...It's annoying but mildly amusing...Life Alert and all I have to do is to quote C. Everett Coop "You can live alone without being alone...and that's why I wear one too."
Merry Christmas everybody

Personally, I think Dave Thomas is doing perpetual cartwheels in his grave. I've gotten the distinct impression that as soon as that casket hit the bottom, a bunch of suits went "okay, well, that's sad and all, but at least now we can run this business like a fast food place." Because Wendy's, while still my favorite fast food place, has made many decisions since his death that you know he wouldn't have let fly. The only thing I feel they've gotten right is the Vanilla Frosty. That was overdue.
I'm not a Wendy's fan, but I do like the Frosty. I'm wondering why it took 50 years to add vanilla.
The Dr.Pepper Touchdown celebration is another commerical I really hate.
-
The Wendy's commericals have been creeping me out lately. A guy in a pippi longstocking wig yelling is not the best way to convince me to eat a square inferior (but never frozen) burger.
-
"1 2 3 4" video ipod commercials. Female pop singers are an abomination! No singing talent at all...
After seeing this every commerical break, I agree. 1 2 3 4 I can't take her anymore.
Also, the Travel Lodge commerical with the creepy dancing bear, the Texas Instrument DLP with the girl and the elephant (I've mentioned it before, but it must be said again...we get it already, it's the dang mirrors), and those cocky dyson vacuum cleaner commericals.
On the positive side, I get a kick out the 'Messin' with Satchsquash' beef jerky commericals.
-
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!"
-
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.
-
Hopefully this commercial will end now that President's Day has passed, but the car commercial that uses "Hail to the Chief" (and gives it a sort of "jock jams" beat) is pretty obnoxious.
Agreed, but I still saw it Wednesday...hopefully either the sale was 'extended' or...*shutter* they're getting a jump on next year's sale.
-
That's exactly what it's doing. The 'dingy' guy is Jeremy Miller, who played Ben on Growing Pains, so that fits in to the VH1 talking head format.
And the joke is a shot at the fact that the "menuaires" are short on money and/or frugal. "They act like money grows on trees...trees they can't find." Fairly straight forward.
It's a crappy annoying commercial (pretty much every modern McDonalds commercial is) but it's not that hard to get.
Ok,I still hate it.

The McDonald's commercial where the two guys are having a staring match to see who buys...then do rock, paper, scissors for the last french fry...is really getting irritating. I believe I see that commercial about 10 times every evening lately.
I think McDonald's is trying to make the most annoying commericals around. The one I hate is the "Dollar Menuaries."
The one where the dingy looking guy says "These people live like money grows on trees. Trees they can't find."
Very funny. I hope I can't find it again.

This is my first post in this thread, but after a cople beers and the beter half of a bottle of Dulpin musadine wine (which by the way, roks) I figured I'd go ahead and break the personal seal on this thread.
Had a lady friend over and drank a bit... i can';t go on. my head hurts alreay. but you get the pcture. i drank tooooo much.

I've been watching the bowl games this week and besides repeated exposure to those blasted "Our Country" commericals, they've been playing the same Dodge commericals with the Rock'em Sock 'em robot who trys to beat up the Dodge. After the 1000th viewing, I got some ideas of how to destroy a Dodger Ram.

One new one and one that's been around since I was a kid:
Blue Hippo. Apparently it's some creditor that gets you a "name brand computer" for low month payments, for people "who can't afford one." You can't afford a computer, but you can afford to pay what I'm going to assume is 25% interest over 5 years? Smart..
Then there's the Art Institute Commericals. Can you draw a cartoon turtle's head? If that's the case, with our rigious by mail course you can be a world famous artist and paint turtle heads on the Vatican Ceiling or chisel a Turtle head on Mt. Rushmore. By the time you finish our course, whether you draw for pleasure or work, you'll be able to draw a body to go along with that turtle's head and it'll make you happy.
Just call for our pamplet with some exercises to gauge your article talent.
*This one has been around for years and still blow my mind.
-
I despise those Texas Instrument commericals with that girl and her blasted elephant who've I've named Migraine (because that's what the commerical gives me). I know it's been mentioned before...but she won't go away.
"How does it work? Oh, it's the mirrors."
Yes, you figured it out kid, now leave me alone.
-
I can't stand the ones that involve the dude that's living in his car for a week.(I think it's a sentra?) It seems like they have one for every day and each day is a pain in the arse to watch!
But those are so dang clever.....I hope you can see the sarcasm dripping from those words.
-
Fed Ex has a new one I loathe. They have these commericals "The World According to.." THe one I hate is "The World According to Kara." It's this woman with trendy glasses who works in an office and she spouts off lame business cliches that relate to her "success" that would not be without Fed Ex.
It's been a full day without that godawful Mellencamp Chevy commerical, of course I've had the TV off all day, but I thought somehow it'd still manage to sneak in...maybe over the telephone, singing telegram, a nightmare....but the day isn't over yet.

In the interest of full disclosure, here are the full, unedited lyrics to that song:
I can stand beside
Things I think are right
And I can stand beside
The idea of stand and fight
And I do believe
There’s a dream for everyone
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country
There's room enough here
For science to live
And there's room enough here
For religion to forgive
And try to understand
The other people of this world
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country
That poverty could be
Just another ugly thing
And bigotry could be
Seen only as obscene
And the ones that run this land
Will help the poor and common man
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country
The dream will never leave
And some day it will come true
And it’s up to me and you
To do the best that we can do
And let the voice of freedom
Sing out through this land
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country
Pretty lame song, even though Mellencamp's a political progressive, and I have respect for some things he's done. Why do protest songs these days have to be so lame? Neil Young wrote "Ohio" in like 20 minutes - come on!
This begs the question, though: Why did he sell this song to Chevy, in the process allowing it to be neutered even more than it already was?
Anyway, a bad song, and an even worse commercial.
Indeed it is...I change the channel everytime it comes it. The fact that we're using Rosa Parks,MLK, and 9/11 to sell Chevys is disgraceful. The song makes my skin crawl. Then it was played before Game 3. I can't escape it.
-
I hate the new Honda Ridgeline commericals. It must have came on every break during the Ga Tech/Clemson game. It's The one with the trucks all in one big herd and at the end you see the dog riding in one of the trucks. Aren't those some ugly trucks?
-
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.
-
And how not hot at all she is.
Bring back Melissa Stark! She could make a Lions-49ers game exciting.
I miss Melissa Stark, but I'm a big fan of Erin Andrews.
-
Has anyone seen those Hardee's (Carl Jr's to those one the west coast) ads with the two guys in flannel shirts shaking the cows to the "milkshake" song?The ads are advertising, of course, their new milkshakes. I have to change the channel when that one comes on because it troubles me.
-
Y'know...these "cool" McDonald's "I'm lovin' it" commericals are wearing thin on me.
New most hated Commercial

So life happened and I haven’t visited the site in a long time. Trade deadline lured me back. I logged into my account for the first time in over ten years tonight. Clicked on my profile and saw this was were I commented last. Glad to see my hatred of Taylor Hicks and head-on headache relief could keep a thread open for 11 years.
Anyways, I still hate the Flo Progressive commercials. She’ll never go away.
