Commercials that you can't stand

[gshase]

I haven't seen a post on this subject. There are 2 that i can not be in the same room when they air. #1 Anything relating to J.G.Wentworth (I want my money now) and #2 is Allstate. When they dub in the voices. This is like a poker game try to beat my pair.

[Zeke]

That's a short list.

I hate that stupid Flo on those Progressive commercials. I would really like to haul her up in a helicopter and throw her out.

[widgeon13]

Flo, as well. Can't stand her.

[Buckterrier]

ANY. Specifically Mike & Mike in the morning. Those two can't take a shyt without it being sponsored by friggin' someone.

[trekkor]

I can't stand 99% of them...

Flo is hot.

1-877-Cars for Kids is pretty goddamn creepy. Like John Wayne Gacy is running it or something.

[crustychief]

Flo sucks and I can't stand the Chebby volt commercials.

[Jrboulder]

I can't stand the new Safe Auto commercials. Seriously dumb ads targeted at seriously dumb people.

[fxeditor]

I just popped on to this thread to see how many of these spots I've worked on. . . Whew, none yet!

Any car commercial that feels they need a jingle. Nissan played the same stupid commercial with people singing and dancing and doing backflips about 20 times every 1/2 hour. Thanks to my DVR I can zip past all that crap. I have been known to put the tv in pause and wait in silence just to fast forward through the commercials. I have watched a lot of TV in the last week while I recover from my surgery. My DVR has kept me same.

Gshase, those Wentworth adds with the opera singers, are about the only opera that I have ever enjoyed. I've found myself humming them later. Opera always seems to take its self too serious. Those guys seem about to crack themselves up doing those adds.

I simply turned my TV off.....If there is something on that I hear about I will record it....FFD thru the dreck. But the Insurance commercials do suck.....all of the characters.

Any company that pays to advertise obviously has too much money.

[LeeH]

Commercial? What's that? Everything we watch is recorded. Commericals are skipped.

Yep. Something about her screams bad girl in the sack.

[VINMAN]

Any Japanese car ad that has a voice over with some highbrow snooty, or British accent.

Right Size Smoothies radio ad. ( " Hi I'm steve Bostick....")

Latest batch of Allstate commercials.

[R K T]

I hit the mute button as fast as I can when any commercial comes on.

the worst of the worst....
All insurance ads
Free Credit Report .com
some has been celebrity selling Reverse Mortgages
Rx drug ads....tell your Dr that you want/need_____!
Cash for Gold (local ads with person dressed as a chicken)
Many many more

But let's face it, the TV shows are just as stupid as the commercials!

[vbaron]

It's not only the commercials that are annoying (Allstate dub-overs and Flo), but that they increase the volume as compared to the show.

[Christien]

I can't stand commercials at all. That's a large part of the reason we cut the cable and download or stream anything we want to watch. I haven't seen a TV commercial in months, I don't think.
