Sign in to disble this ad
the shrinking lady ad post inspired this one...
I got thinking of what drives me nuts on the internet is:
you open a web site and suddenly:
"congratulations! You just won an ipod!" I HATE THEM ADS!
and the commercial that you are forced to watch sometimes before a video on YouTube
TV wise getting sick of Progressive ads with that Flo (a actress named Stephanie plays her) and her limpy wrists, the "money you could be saving with Geico" ads (with the money with eyes. So stupid. Miss the caveman ones).
and also...
how come Allstate has to play 3 commercials back to back. "Now's not the time to be thinking of your car insurance." it ends..then "Now's not the time to be thinking of your car insurance" it ends.."Now's not the time to ...well you get the picture...

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!! They make me want to punch a baby!

"ICECREAM AND CAKE! ICECREAM AND CAKE! ICECREAM AND CAKE!"
I mean dont ge me wrong, I love icecream and cake just as much as the next guy, but the way the song is sung, its like theyre screaming at you over and over and over haha. Very annoying.
Also, I hate pretty much all sex enhancing medication commercials, auto commercials, weight loss miracle commercials, and prescription drug commercials. |

For me, it's just about any damn cellphone ad. Be it the droid ones or the soccer Mom's vitriol over wasted minutes, or the emo boy askin if I can hear him now or the "don't get a cellphone, get a cellphone that gets you" it's all just waaay too much too often. You'd think this was the height of human technological advancement, to have a bunch of mindless people on electronic leashes staring into their microscreens shouting self-important crap into the void...
"I'm done eating cake!"
"I'm tired and don't wanna work"
"I hate Mondays"
"I'm taking a b.m."
"Going shopping!"
Twitter!
Puhleeeeze.

The lady from the Palm Pre ads frightens me a little, like a Stepford wife, or something.
I hate pharmaceutical ads that are over 50% disclaimer and side-effects. By the time they're done listing all the things that could go wrong, I'm not the least interested in touching their product.
"This product may induce internal hemhorage in a small number of people. Use of this product while smoking increases the risk of fatal eyeball implosion. A small percentage of men experienced indigestion, diarrhea, abdominal pain and death while taking this drug. Do not handle or touch broken pill if you are nursing, pregnant, or planning to become pregnant, or once got someone pregnant. Children should not stand too close to this product without lead shielding."
Then they go on to tell me that it'll cure my allergies, finally, for sure

Nothing turns me off faster than the fascist mindset behind the man made Global Warming hoax. I always knew it was a crock. Now it's been totally discredited.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2008 Location: Sioux Falls, SD | | | - I mute or surf over the Progressive ads.
- Geico has three campaigns going (the cavemen, the money with eyes and the old guy in the corporate office with the lizard), and they're all tired and lame.
- All cellphone ads are noise and just piss me off. Although, the earlier Alltel ones (with the "Wizard" and the van) made me laugh.
- The Jimmy Football ads for Bud Light are really annoying, tasteless (coming so soon after Billy Mays' death), and most of them aren't even remotely funny, except for the one with the condiment gun which is loaded with double entendre ("do you ever have trouble putting on a condiment", the shooting of the gun, etc. LOL).
- The Capital One "what's in your wallet" campaign ran out of legs 2 years ago already. They need a new approach.
- The "I'm a Mac" ads are still pretty creative but every time I see the guy that plays Mac I want to smack him. And that tinkly music drives me nuts.
- Same deal with the UPS ads with the long haired guy at the whiteboard. Creative, but the spokesman needs a beatdown.
- All ads for movies bug me cause they're too damn loud and you know you've just seen all the best parts of the movie in the ad, so why go?
ADS I LIKE
- The DIRECTV ones with the people in the "Big Cable Company" boardroom are pretty funny.
- Mercury ads... not seeing many of them anymore but the chick they have on those is smokin' hot. Whatever she's sellin, I'm buyin.
- The Enzyte ads for "natural male enhancement" (aka, "Smilin Bob"). Classic. Can't believe they made it to TV but I'm happy they did.

For some reason, I still don't mind the GEICO caveman ads.
