    Deodorant and Shower Gel for men commercials are frequently bad.

    It used to be just AXE crap but now nearly all of them are the same.

    Anyone have any others?

    Can't stand cell phone service commercials.

    I hate the Verizon guy (especially that new commercial with the sprinkles in the ice cream shop), the blond Alltell douche, the aging Sprint guy in the pretentious black trenchcoat talking up his "everything" plan, the whiny Howard b****ing at Barkley because he made him hurt his leg IN A VIDEO GAME, and those stupid cheesy AT&T "I know I'm never here for you as a father/boyfriend but let me take pictures in front of things that resemble cell phone bars and everything will be fine" spots.

    I don't know what product lines they fall under, but those radio commercials where the stupid announcer pretends they are hosting a radio talk show and want to 'tell everybody' about this great new product they were reading about.

    Then they shuffle papers as they try to 'find' the telephone number. Makes me want to reach through the radio and punch someone in the face.

    Also, the Blackberry Storm commercials were amazingly stupid.

    "OMG! Did you see that?!? I...I...touched it!!"

    I'm pretty sick of the "hi, I'm a mac" commercials.

    I have to agree... car dealerships, furniture stores, and ambulance chasing lawyers. I think there must be some law requiring them to make horrible commercials.

    Those "Just For Men" hair commercials are starting to get pretty bad by trying to guilt guys into using it by saying they'll get a job and to do it for their kids. lol. So cheesy.

    Sonic's (worst collection of commercial ever)

    Most sexual enhancement commercials (pretty cheesy for products that are often useless), except Enzyte.

    Local car dealership commercials

    The last few McDonald's commercial that are obviously trying to relate to the urban graphic, the one with two black chicks, RnB styled one with Keith Sweat singing in the background, and the one on the basketball court.

    Car rental commercials. I can't stand that John McEnroe commercial with him yelling his little douchey catchphrase.

    This.

    Especially when they tried to re-modified their little jingle to reflect today's generations.

    McDonalds, you still suck.

    i was just thinking about this the other day when i was watching the orlando game.

    their ads are so "busy." there's soo much stuff on the screen. huge numbers..the price..their logo..their name..the guy screaming (using horrible green screen)..ahhhhhhhh

    can't they not hire someone to do it for them? does all the owners have to be in their ads?

    Commercials for pads....

    I truely don't need to know how absorbant your pad is...

    And also, in the words of Dave Barry, If you are leaking blue, you should probably go to the doctor.
