The most annoying TV commercials
I would like to start a new thread, and see if there are people out there, who would agree with my opinion abou the most annoying commercials that are out there right now. My list is as follows:
1. AOL - I hate it!
2. Verizon Wireless: "Can you hear me now guy!" - I want him dead!
3. Sprint PCS, and the moron who is trying to rid of all the static in this world.
4. AT&T, and Carrot Top. Nothing against AT&T, but Carrot Top has GOT to go.
and to top it off...
5. Steve, from Dell Computers. I thought he was cool at first, but now he is just an old flavor of the day, if not hour, or minute, or second.
Let me know what you think. Thx.

i agree with all those commercials. absolutely stupid. what about radio commercials? anyone else heard this stupid discover card (i think) commercial, where the chick sings about velcro? nothing worse than sitting outside washing your ride, with the radio up and hearing some chick sing about her boyfriend and velcro. that has got to be the worst radio commercial.

I think some of you will notice that local TV commecrials are just as bad. In some you could the owners of the business doing their best (or worst) to promote their business, in the cheeziest way possible.
On the other hand, I would like to make another addition:
Weight Loss Commercial or Hair Loss. On the before and after pictures, it is never the same person. You must so desperate, in order to fall for this!

the Credit Consolidation Service commercial...where these people are so in dept that they are having to get some service to get their personal finance in order...and they are talking to this guy who claims that it would have taken him 20 years to get debt free and now he will be in 4 or 5 years, and the whole time he is standing in his BEAUTIFULY outfitted garage and is polishing his ANTIQUE CAR!!! get real!!! or the couple they are talking to are on their patio in front of the built in swimming pool !!!

my list of most annoying TV commercials...
1. Carrot Top for AT&T - why is that guy still on TV? kick his *** already 
2. The Dell dude - if I hear "dude you're getting a Dell" one more time I'm gonna go and personally kick michael dell's ***
3. All those infomercials that say "you can get (our product) for X easy payments of 19.95". Seems like everything that I'll ever want in life can be had for a few easy payments of 19.95
4. And last but not least, all those 'name brand' drugs commercials that touts its single benefit but then whispers all the additional side effects ("side effect include drowsiness, nosebleed, diahrrea, fatigue, generally feeling more ill and shittier than before you took our fabulous drug")

Since we are talking about advertisements, I think you will like this. It is not stupid, but rather funny, and it is from Mazda. According to Road & Track magazine, which read religiously, Mazda is taking Zoom-Zoom image world-wide (before it was US only). Therefore, in Europe the ad will sound like Vroom-Vroom, and in Japan it is Waku-Waku. Isn't it funny. I do not know what waku means in Japanese, but hey, if it works, it works!

I agree with everyone about those commercials, they do suck severly. I absolutely hate the chocalate Reisan commercials. Anyone ever seen those? The 3 losers come strolling out of an office or something, and a hand comes out of nowhere with "You guys want to try a Reisan?" the one dick replies with "Sure I'm game" The guys eat them and make comments like "Not too chewy, not too soft, its terrific!" and at the end "Can I have another?" They suck
I also hate the Toaster Strudel commercials that have been the same since they came out, just with new kids in them.

In Arizona, For all those poor people who have to subscribe to *** Cable, I feel so sorry because they show two commercials every commercial break. These commercial are always stupid and they play the most annoying music.

The gayest commercials are those money-making kits advertised at night. Like this kit that allows you to place "tiny classified adds in newspapers" and makes 1000's in a week. The kit is advertised by an over-excited impotent guy who started making these profits in his one bedroom apartment.
And then in shows, these gay-asses offering testimonials in their newly built or renovated homes, which for some reason, are decorated the same way.
I mean if you had something this good, making 1000's in weeks, why the ***** would he want to sell these kits for $40? Besides, more competition would be bad.
And why would people bother to go through so much schooling if they could work at home and make more than a lawyer??
Funny thing is, that this customer offering a testimonial to the effectiveness and money he made with that kit, later estlablished his own advertising initiative maybe to make back the $40 he lost. LOL!
