    Some commercials annoy me more than others, and I was wondering which ones did the same to you.

    Hotel Planner - OMG! Can you make yourself look any lamer or make a cheaper looking commercial? Seeing that commercial makes me say to myself....there is NO way I would use that website. Link

    The Brown Hand Center - The commercial is shown so much that I literally dread seeing it. I really can't stand seeing the end when they show his wife....gee, I wonder why she married him. Link

    Old Spice - I don't care to see a guy showing off his body by shaking his chest or kicking buildings down. I'm not sure how that is going to convince me to purchase the product. I'm sure this makes some people laugh, but I can't say I'm one of them. Link

    Ab Circle Pro - It sounds to me like she's calling everyone fat when she says "lose those love handles" and that gets on my nerves. I'm in good shape and don't appreciate that. Also seeing the people using the machine with those huge smiles on their faces makes it obvious at how fake they are. Not the one I'm used to seeing, but oh well

    Goldwater Law Firm - First, for some reason, anytime these commercials come on the volume on my television makes a big jump, I don't know if that's the commercial, or my tv. These commercials seem to come on so often that I just can't stand seeing (or listening to) them. I couldn't find a video for this one...too bad!

    Honorable mentions...Progressive (dam that lady is annoying), Geico ("does Elmer Fudd have trouble with the letter R?", "is Ed Too Tall Jones too tall?"), "I wear no pants!", etc.), Denny's commercials with that guy....you know who I'm talking about, Cash for Gold (these commercials also get very loud), Tower 200 ("come on princess" yeah, like I'm going to buy something after you call me princess?). I could probably go on and on, but I'm sure I'm going to already receive enough crap for remembering these.

    The sad thing is....the commercials are obviously working since I remember them.

    That Restasis eye drop commercial with the female doc and the older lady. It's so friggin' over dramatic it drives me nuts.

    That little old lady in the Life Alert commercial. Her sing-song warbly voice is a caricature of little old ladies everywhere. Also drives me nuts.

    And yes, that weird family on the Hand Center commercial really creeps me out.

    Totally agree with that's a low price.

    Those Six Flags commercials with that old guy. That's supposed to make me want to go to an amusement park? :confused:

    The BK Twilight commercial where they send teenage girls into BK to try to help the patrons pick sides is pretty annoying.

    No way. Dos Equis commercials are among the best and most original on TV. I especially like the short ones with the sage quotes.

    "That's a low price" is about as mind-numbingly stupid and annoying as it gets.

    Flo used to annoy the crap out of me, now I'm just kinda numb to her. I hardly ever watch TV commercials anyway these days. 90% of my TV consumption is on time delay so I get to skip through all of them.

    I think the Dos XX commercials are starting to get a little old though...the last one I heard on the radio was a bit of a stretch.



    The Sonic commercial where they're all shouting, "We got foot long coneys, how bout you?!" And they show shots of Burger King and McDonalds and Wendys.

    The Skittle tube sock commercial....just weird.

    The Texaco "text message" commercials...what the hell is the point of the texting?!

    I had NBA League Pass last year, and the Geico commercials with the douchebag kept on popping up on EVERY.SINGLE.DAMN commercial break. Either "is Ed too tall jones... too tall?" or "did the cave man invent fire?" I just want to run on set and clock that fool and ask him "did you see that one coming?" with my eyebrows raised just like that POS :mad:
