Definitely the most annoying infomercial ever

Sign in to disble this ad
The Extenze infomercials really piss me off. With the bad acting and the unclever marketing. I hate how they try to pretend like it's a tv show and they pretty much try to make you believe you need to take it forever no matter how much or little help you do need. It is really the acting that annoys me. They always say "Well... Bigger" and all the people they talk to the say the same thing. What are the odds that you're walking around in the middle of the day and you find someone who's currently taking any specific medication anyway? I think this tops the old annoying infomercial. You know the one with the tropical music?

I hate the "Truth" commercials. I want to find those people and tell them a few "truths." Pretty much any sort of "what you do is stupid, and here's why" commercial will get me spooled up.

Also, locally we have a business college where a dude stands in front of a camera, telling you how easy it is to get a degree, and essentially calls you stupid for not buying in and going to this college.

Then again, now that I have DVR, I don't pay much attention to commercials anymore.

I hate those commercials!

I've never been a cigarette smoker, but if anything was going to get me to light up it would be those commercials.

BK Steakhouse Burger commercials are awful. Just like the sandwich itself.

OOoh, the Burger King commercials with the "King" in the plastic getup... creepy, downright creepy.

Also, as a general rule, I hate all the political ads - I am involved in politics, but both sides leave out the truth when it's convenient, and sometimes just make stuff up. I hate that.

Couldn't be that bad if you made the sandwhich.
Sounds like good advertising.

If you actually do the research on it, the "truth" commercials say a bunch of stuff that is either A: made up completely, B: taken totally out of context, or C: stuff that was true years ago, but isn't anymore.

+1000000. Hit the fast forward button 3 times(60X speed), hit play after about 3 seconds, you don't get distracted from the show you're watching.

Isn't that the definition of politics though? Lying through your teeth to get elected?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHH!!! I hate those burger kind commercials. It's a f#$kin sammich! "You arrogant punk!" Shut up! Also I don't know what car it's for but the phrase "Now more than ever." drives me up the wall.
The quizno's commercials have found all the sounds that drive me up wall as well. Crumpling dollar bills into someones mouth and the eating of the crunchy coins are like fingernails down the chalkboard to me and fingernails down a chalkboard doesn't even bother me. Weird huh.

Anyone local here knows about Hayne's (furniture store) "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS" or "BEST DEAL YOU'LL EVER SEE!" ads...

Is that everywhere? A local furniture place keeps running ads for deals "you'll never see again" or some such?

Anything with "but call now, and we'll sextuple your order for free!" How many copies of "The Time-Life Best Of: Mexican Gospel Music Volume 800,000" or whatever do you really need?

I have a sticker on my monitor with that guy on it giving the thumbs up and it says "Money Back Guarantee!". Honestly truly.

Actually no. I tried one when they first came out and that was probably 6 months ago. They've been running those commercials for the past 3 or 4. It's the only thing I've eaten that made me feel like I wanted to die before I even finished.


Also I hate that Boflex commercial with that one douche who goes "I gave all my fat clothes to my fat friends". I hope he get's set on fire.
