The Wendy's meatitarian commercial.

My favorite part about it is that the girl completely shuts down after he explains it. But let's not delve into that subject too deeply, shall we?

I'm trying to think of some others, but none come to mind quite like that one.

Anyway, anything is fair game!

(edit: Hmm, I see the coding doesn't quite work the same way in titles as for text. Ah well.)

I find that guy to the right (smartguyreview.com) to annoy me.
Tere use to be a commercial where the girl is having her father drive her to the ether the movies or the mall. She asks him to leave her a block away because "they all drive hybrids and bikes around there". Then the father tells her "honey this is a hybrid" and she gets in.
I would of toldher, "oh that's what they do in that part off town? THEN WALK!!
I haven't seen that ad for a while.

Wow I was right about to post a topic like this. Anyway, here's mine:

-Those Target commercials that take the song "Hello, Goodbye" by The Beatles, rip its face off, pour gasoline into the raw muscle/bone, set it aflame, and piss into the fire.

-Don't know what commercial it is, but the one that has that dreadful no-name pop band singing (read: butchering) "With A Little Help From My Friends" by guess who, The Beatles! I have to mute the TV whenever it comes on.

-Any looooong commercial advertising some kind of weight loss supplement.

-"Five... five... five dollar footlong..."

-McDonald's commercials that try WAY too hard to appeal to the "urban" crowd.

The only commercials we get here are AFN commercials. You'll be begging for enzyte and other stupid ads after a week!

I got seriously tired of those after twelve years.

I remember one they had for sexual harassment. It showed a woman walking around an office, but only from the mid thighs down, and she happened to be wearing a short skirt. :scowl:

Or the one about designated drivers that had four of the drunkest looking slobs of airmen you'll every see in a car speeding home after a long night of drinking. They get pulled over by a german police officer. The next shot the police car pulls away, and the four guys are all high fiveing each other, and one of em says: "dude we are so lucky." Cue low rider theme as they drive away.

Enzyte, for natural male enhancement.

So annoying...luckily, the owner of the company that makes it was found guilty of fraud a couple months back and is in prison.

I also hate the Lipozene commercial. I seriously want to punch that woman in the face. Same with Smilin' Bob. :spit:
