Annoying tv or radio advertising.

[VINMAN]

Which commercials make you want to kick the tv or radio in?

If I keep hearing that f#*&!ng Netflix commericial ("and now for the bonus round...") Im going to tear the radio out of my dash. Its on every five minutes, and it is the dumbest commercial. Especially the fact that the same ad campaign has been running for 3 yrs.

[Steve Viegas]

Ah, but you know what the commercial is for, and you are bringing that company to our attention...seems pretty effective to me.

the Head-On commercial makes me want to apply a brick directly to the TV

[gtc]

For the longest time I thought the Head-On commercials were some kind of joke that I was missing.
How can anyone take that product seriously?!

Any company that uses the term "Now, more than ever..." in their advertisement loses the opportunity to receive any of my money!

I hate that term.....NOW, MORE THAN EVER!!!

Aaron's Furniture used to have a commercial that started out very loudy, with someone singing 'Aaaaaarrons, we make dreams..."

I used to sleep fairly well. One night, I fell asleep with the TV on. That commercial came on and woke me. Startled the hell out of me.
Ever since then, I've had a very hard time getting to sleep.

Those Brinks Home Security commercials are pretty insulting. How about the Ditech ones?

Do you have any hidden fees?

No ma'am, we don't believe in hidden fees.

Besides, if I told you about them, they'd not be hidden anymore. Such idiots!

And what's with this trend where they have multiple people start a sentence and repeat the first few words before someone completes the sentence - I will, I will, I will.....be this or that. Seems like every other commercial uses it now.

[look 171]

Those make your wienie larger commercials.

Satellite Radio came free for a spell with the new Mustang. When driving, it's my main source of sounds. Never thought I'd like "pay for it" radio, but think I'll renew when it's time with the $10 per month "mostly music" package. It's nice to not have commercials.

[Oh Haha]

Charter Communications(Might be regional)
They sing a tune set to "Take me out the ball game". Drives me nuts.

It came on the radio today so I sang along making up obscene lyrics about how much I hate the commercial.


I need to write them a letter....

There is a commercial that drives me insane. I have held my tongue on the blog because I didn't want to seem like a maniac, but now there's a second commercial.

In the first commercial, a woman dressed in a black cocktail dress and pearls is preparing to have some people over. She prepares her home and lights a Glade candle, but she takes the label off of the Glade candle before her guests arrive. She attempts to throw the label in the garbage, but unbeknownst to her, it attaches to her butt.

Her guests arrive - three other ladies dressed much more casually than their hostess - and they comment positively on the smell of her home.

The Glade Lady claims that the candle came from France.

Her "friends" laugh and one of them snatches the Glade label from her butt. She says mockingly, "Oh, haven't you ever heard of Gladé?"

Then the women laugh at the Glade Lady.

I can't stand this commercial for the following reasons:

The Glade Lady is wearing pearls to have some friends over for pie
I don't believe that France has this awesome candle-making reputation
If they did, it wouldn't be for making Apple-Cinnamon-scented candles
The friends never believed that the candle came from France which means that Glade candles are no competition for even the imaginary French candle industry
If one really wanted to fool one's friends into thinking that their Glade candle was specially imported from Europe, and especially France, a home-spun scent like Apple Cinnamon is the last scent to choose! I mean, really. Vanilla? Berry? Human Urine? Those scream Paris!
What kind of person lies about a candle?
I could have let it go, but the Glade Lady's back in a new commercial.

In this one her husband leaves her alone all day so she can clean her house. Instead she sprays some Glade brand Febreeze rip off on all of her stuff and goes shopping and dancing and ice skating and some other nonsense.

She sneaks back home before her husband returns and pretends to be so tired from cleaning. Her husband finds the Glade product and calls her on her lie.

I don't know why her husband left all day and expected her to clean the house. I don't know what keeps him so busy, but it doesn't seem to be pretending to clean. He may be pretending to go to work, but we'll have to wait for a third Glade commercial to find out.

I also don't know why the Glade Lady is such a bad liar, nor do I know why she decides to lie about the things she does. Maybe she pretends to be a bad liar about these minor things so that when she lies about important things, people think "Well, she must be telling the truth. She is a terrible liar. Remember when she said that candle came from France?"

I'm on to you Glade Lady.

I can't stand that woman and her bunch of harpy looking ol' hen friends!
If there's any justice in this world maybe a Great Dane with a roaring case of diareah would invade her house after eating an entire Taco Bell franchise!

[strupgolf]

I hate it when radio people rant and rave about too much credit card debt, and then their show is funded by credit card companies or the one's who want to help you reduce YOUR debt by 75%, just like that. They can do it for you, oh yea, sure they can.

[WilsonTC]

Any car dealership commercial (typically radio) indicating "prices will never be this low again", "final sale days", "all credit applications will be accepted", "no dealer profit", blah, blah, blah. What kind of idiot buys into this crap?

Also, two people I would like to punch in the mouth:

1) The old lady who yells out "BINGO!" from the Sonic Ear commercial.

2) The dip-sheet guy in the same commercial, who smiles and nods to himself when he overhears the babes (using his Sonic Ear) at the party talking about how cute he is.

There's this bedding store here with a silly looking guy in a horrible looking outfit trying to look like a foolish King of a dumb-arsed country. He starts by "knocking" on the inside of the television screen to get your attention. He was bad enough. Now he's added this kid, a little girl dressed like a princess that says the store "Saves you Money" in the most annoying, squeaky voice I've ever heard.
I'd rather listen to fingernail scrapings on a chalk board!!!

[WilsonTC]

Oh...and any commercial (again, typically radio) that uses an Obama impersonator to sell something re: "Stimulus Package" or "Cash for Clunkers".
