    Those Carl Weathers Bud Light commercials have been annoying, especially when he jumps out the playbook at the end.

    This is too broad of a category. Usually there are only about 2-4 good commercials out (not during superbowl--although now even that's going downhill). The rest lack creativity and imagination.

    Actually radio commercials piss me off more lately than tv commercials.. I guess because like most people, I DVR my way past the TV ones, but I can't do that in the car.. sigh..

    Mainly I hate the ones which insult our intelligence.

    The one lately which has annoyed me the most is some ad for a product which reduces or eliminates 'tinnitis' (ringing in the ears I think). No I don't remember the name of the product.

    But it's made in such a way as to have you believe that it is a 'testimonial' kind of thing, some guy talking about how great the product is, and how hard his life was with the constant ringing. All pretty standard stuff, nothing too terrible. The actor reading the part is sounding convincing enough.

    But then, toward the end..

    ..the guy has gone on and on about it, how great it is, then say 'It's a winning formula!'..

    Huh?

    It's a winning formula?

    Who the ^&%^ wrote THAT??

    Some suit somewhere in a cubicle, that's who. WHY do these ad wizards insist on treating their potential customers like idiots? Call it a 'winning formula' if you want to (it's lame no matter what though), but don't put it in a freaking TESTIMONIAL commercial! Nobody talks like that.

    Ah well.


    Oh and the ones which are supposed to sound like some regular radio guy who 'found' this amazing new thing and he is just passing it along to you, like 'Hmm oh here we go (sound of paper rustling).. here's the number.. blah blah blah..'

    Again, the listeners are idiots apparently.

    and so forth and so on..

    It involves constant screaming for half the commercial. You got it, the WEEEEEEEEE little pig commercial.

    seems like you guys have listed bunch of winners.
    Not all the advertising is made to sell their stuffs. Most of them are made for the brand recall which seem to be working fine here.

    - RUSHCARD. Russell Simmons comes off as a tool, hope $ didn't do that to him
    - AT&T 97% coverage. Nice way to change the topic when Verizon is kicking your ass

    Those have really started to get on my nerves, and I couldn't agree more....the part where he jumps out of the playbook at the end ("Here we go!") is the absolute WORST!

    Honestly, I never remember what that stupid pig is advertising, I just know that I am in for a good 20 seconds of shrieking. Normally I don't watch commercials, but that one plays a lot when I am watching games at the sports bar.

    Subway needs to fire their tv marketing people and just start over. Their commercials have been annoying for years.
