Most hated TV commercials?

What TV commercials do you dislike the most? I personally hate the new Enterprise commercial. A mom/son in a car and the son keeps saying "Mooom". HATRED.

I really hate the new Cadbury adverts, all of them. They don't sell the chocolate to me, if anything it puts me off wanting to buy their chocolate!

On the other hand, to be fair to other adverts, my most liked adverts are any of the Irn-Bru ad's

I typically am a fan of Linda Ronstadt's vocal work, but I thought her singing on the Plow King adverts was uninspired.

Sorry, wrong youtube vid link. The one I was going to post had some NSFW stuff at the end, so it's all for the better I posted that one anyways...

I hate all commercials but the Caveman ones have well run their coarse. The first one premiered on the Superbowl something like what 5 or 6 years ago? The first one was funny for maybe the first time that I saw it and then after the first commercial ended, they should have let it die.

I can tolerate those, even after all these years.

It's the Capital One commercials that annoy the hell out of me. They've milked the raging Dark Ages guys to death. And their connection to the product is so forced and vague. At least with the cavemen and Geico, their connection is summed up in a quick tagline. What do the Dark Ages guys have to do with a damn credit card?

I hate that girl in the Progressive commercials. Just because we all know people like her, and I just wanna rip off one of my balls and throw it at her.
