What commercials can you not stand?

[Rhythm-n-Booze]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the Lenny Kravitz/Sarah Jessica Parker commercials. Seriously, there can't be a more annoying commercial. Lenny Kravitz pissed me off with the fucking target commercials but now he has to move to GAP to make some money. Ridiculous.

There was a commercial from the early '90s, and it had a bunch of white girls rapping on a basketball court about perfume. It used to annoy me. I only remember the end of the commercial when they say, "you know what I'm sprayin'?!" But, I can't remember what they were spraying. I wonder if anyone remembers the name of that badass perfume?

The Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo commercial gets on my nerves.? And, the Sunny D commercial creeps me out.

Jesus I'm damn sure the same just arrived in France ... I just hate when they translate commercials ... It's seems to be a rule w/ shampoo ... we have Oreal too w/ american actresses or models saying "Parce que je le vaux bien" and you keep reading on their lips : "Because I worth it" 

But at least in France a film cannot be cut more than once on private TV channels ... I never succeeded to follow a film on TV in the US !

"I can't believe nobody has mentioned the Lenny Kravitz/Sarah Jessica Parker commercials. Seriously, there can't be a more annoying commercial."

actually the editing in that was really good...I do like the 30 second spot though as opposed to the longer one.

As far as commercials go...any commercial put out by a drug company...you gotta a problem, take a pill....
I love the way they rattle off all the side effects really fast, and they way they cast "beautiful people" in all the ads...

THE JAMBA RINGTONE COMMERCIALS ON MTV. THE FUCKING JAMBA RINGTONE COMMERCIALS.

[Ignatius]

The problem with the comercials you've mentioned is that they are so damn boring and ordinary. Agencies don't really care anymore as song as they get the desired" nike" "gap" or " Mcdonalds" account to name a few. Once an important account is signed, you will no longer be creative anymore. Besides, every ad on tv is trying to sell the same assets these days. The clich? "sex sells" is the biggest blasphemy in advertising these days. It's true sex sells indeed, but when it's overused to sell everything from car tires to fucking tylenol, you wonder what in the world has happened to advertising.

I do watch commercials on TV. However, I tend to pay more attention to print advertising since that's what I do. They are still shit. Every now and then you'll see an ad that's knocked off your feet and you go " wow, this is why I chose this profession" but it doesn't come very often.

The problem is, we are exposed to too many forms of advertising on a daily basis. Advertising has become annoying for most of us because it's everywhere you go. Even I get annoyed.

Anyway, I'm not gonna carry on cause I could still be typing tomorrow...

Magic Moment one from Cadbury...tj knows perhaps.

Commercials brain wash you, and T.V. feeds you full of crap that you don't need.

But the internet is completly healthy for you.

Okay, I'm kind of bragging, but I never have to watch commercials anymore except during sports games.? Get a Tivo or something similar everyone!? It's completely worth it.? Where I live, it's only a $10 setup fee plus an extra $5 a month for a box, there's no reason not to get one.

Like youngerformofaxl, I hate pretty much all commercials too.

Definately one of the greatest inventions in the last hundered years.

[Gunner80]

Old Navy commercials make me sick.

[Is he struggling?]

THE JAMBA RINGTONE COMMERCIALS ON MTV. THE FUCKING JAMBA RINGTONE COMMERCIALS.

Agreed. Those companies must have a hell of a lot of customers and/or make a huge profit margin on ech tone sold to be able to afford such a bombardment of adverts.

They've started on terrestrial too.

Thought I'd bring back with golden oldie:

The Morgan Stanley adds
Philip Morris anti-smoking adds
Those anti-drug, tough-love adds, the ones with the black parents being fascists.
Adds for magical cures for bald/baldng men
ED adds

I mute all comercials when I can. It's a rule in this house....

i do the same.
when i was visiting my girlfriend in october, her and her 2 roommates were so mad. i was the man, i had to rule the remote and i muted the commercial. i almost missed some of the premiere of Colbert Report because the remote was fucked up.

but hey, i really dont know how you do it in the us with all the commecials on tv .... it's insane ... i was watching some Chapelles Shows i downloaded - and the rippers get the commercials out - he says " we'll be right back " every 3 minutes ?! !! !

There is an ad in the Uk about Marks and Spencer's X-mas food range, so annoying!


"This just isn't any old chocolate pudding, it's a Marks and Spencer endangered rare chocolate pudding."

I know! I despise that advert... "This isn't just  a chicken...."-YES IT IS!

[Buddy J.B.]

Is this commercial I'm mentioning advertising for honda?

anyway I hate how this man leaves the house and then all of a sudden he's falling down in a parachute off of a cliff in the grand canyon.

I couldn't stand that burger king commercial with that band "cock rock" advertising chicken fingers.

[Locomotive]
