Definitely "The Truth" commercials. I don't even smoke and I'm sick of those guys. Between their attempts to humiliate people who smoke, or their obsession with the tobacco company to the point where they're doing commercials dumping bags at the side of building and saying they're bodies killed by tobacco, dumping manure, and other self-righteous stuff like that. I went to their message board and they're more arrogant there then on TV!
And since we're talking annoying, I agree Kelly about the gurgling milk. That's just discussing. Commercials that have people constantly sneezing or shows close ups of people eating is annoying. I can't remember what commercial it was, I think it was a hamburger commercial, that had a guy who worked on cars, his hands were completely oily and dirty, and he picked up a hamburger and ate it with his hands like that, and they showed a close up of his face and him eating the burger. Disgusting.
Any type of tampon commercials or STD commercials during the hours of 5-9. People are freaking eating at the TV! we don't want to hear about that! I have a big complaint about radios playing certain sounds; Specifically lawyer commercials playing sirens while driving down the road. Or any other type of phone ringing or beeping that might distract the driver. another one: (low thumping sound that sounds like its coming from underneth your car, and then acouple seconds later) "Are you having car problems?? Come visit Acme carcare..."
Any ad for a new invention meant to make any every-day chore easier where they show some one horribly screwing up the task this invention is meant to eliminate. For example: Can't get your pancakes to come out round? Hate the mess from all the fat and butter? (Meanwhile, they're showing us a skillet full of mis-shapen pancakes frying in half an inch of melted butter.) I'm not lying, I actually saw this commercial the other day. It was for some device that helped you pour perfect pancakes. Of course, this revolutionary new product is only available through the toll-free number on your screen.
Most lawyer ads freak me out because they reflect so negatively on my profession. I also hate The Truth ads... But I REALLY hate the "Like a Rock" campaign!!! Geez, guys, that campaign is at least 10 years old!!! I've had enough!!
Damn MadMax, I forgot about that horrible Chevy ad. BTW, my girl may be working for one of the "Big 5" firms that settle the $17.1 billion against the tobacco industry.
I saw the same commercial. I commented to my wife what kind of idiot is making those pancakes. I have a one year old so we watch blues clues all the time. He has a tape wher they show some 4 year olds making pancakes with a chef. Even 4 year olds can make pancakes why do i need a $20 device so I can make something a 4 year old can make. CK
No, it's the one I was telling you about in Daingerfield...she finds out next week. However, the law firm I'm working at here doesn't want to lose me, so may offer her a job as well!
Oh, I would too, even though my rent would be much cheaper there since I'd just live with my sister or parents. Major would save a bundle too!! But, I want Austin.
Hell giddyup, I feel pretty knowledgable about Texas towns and cities, but I'd never heard of it either. It's 40 miles north of Longview.
deepellumrocket, I was going to post the same thing, do these freaking people think were that stupid ???
What bugs me is that he has a contaner of milk that he is drinking from. All you have to do is pour the chocolate milk into the milk container and shake, presto you have chocolate milk. What are they saying about todays kids, that they are not smart enought to make their own chocolate milk? Mabey I should invent a device for these kids that will instantly make chocolate milk all you need is chocolate mile and my revolutionary device, I think I will call it a spoon, no wait if that names taken it will be called the IVFL chocolate milk maker only 19.95, call 1888 dont call
Of course, the $19.95 ads. Those annoying low-budget ads where every product costs 19.95, or four payments of 19.95. They all have the same announcer, the same blue screen with the 1-800 number, and the samd "if you call in the next ten minutes" garbage. When will they ever stop?
I'm glad you guys mentioned ads where people screw up terrifyingly easy tasks. That chopper ad where they show people cutting up carrots. They look like they cerebral palsy or something. It's just a FREAKIN' carrot! Plus, they have this foldable cutting board so you can easily slide your cut vegetables off of it into the pot without spilling. They show some idiot just dumping a whole cutting board into a pot and carrots and onions are flying everywhere. Honest to God, do they think they are selling these things to people with severe physical handicaps or something???
