The commercial for Payless with the annoying "razzle dazzle sparkle garkle" girl is so annoying. She is on my last nerve.

Totally agree with this! They're ineffective anyway because once I hear the siren (etc.), I turn down the radio to find out if it was that or in my surroundings.

The commercial I hate right now is luckily only on MTV for some show called Faking It. Not only is the show concept just ugh, but the sound effect makes me think of a chimpanzee on uppers.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the CPI home security commercials.

"Intruder! Leave the premises NOW!"

The "He went to Jared's!" Ads for Jared Jewelers, drive me up a wall. Life is so much better since we ditched commercial TV.

Any of the credit karma ads but especially the one with the cartoon little old lady.

Any commercial for a game app. These time sucks are annoying enough already, why advertise them? If people are blocking your product on Facebook and their phones it means they don't want it. Go away!!

LOL. Like the home burglary process is that simple even with CPI.

I think I said it before but there's a prevelance of commercials based on kids outsmarting adults/adults acting dumb around kids. I hate those commercials including the Lay's commercial (is it Lay's) with the little girl across the seat at an airport or train. The man is mesmerized by the chips and hits his head on the window. Womp womp.

They just randomly add kids for the assumed cute factor but I see nothing cute about it.

I hate the "I'm M-A-R-Y and I have C-O-P-D." commercial.

Right there with you! I hate that one too!

I'm sure Levon Helm is rolling over in his grave: "The Weight" being used as an ad for some farm game. Gah! That is simply Not Right.

^^^^I was on my desktop the other day and heard that come on and was jamming, because I like the song. THEN I saw what it was for. I don't know who gave this the ok.

1. The Life Alert commercial where the lady says "I've fallen and I can't get up!". I'm sure it's a great product, but her horrible acting is annoying.

2. Any commercial that discusses "transvaginal mesh".

Lumosity, when they say it makes their brain feel great. Really? The only time I notice how my brain feels is if it hurts. This is so stupid.

The tampon commercial featuring the woman who is rock climbing in
short-shorts. Yeah, we get that you're really really confident in your product's ability to get it done.

Could have taken it down about 15 on the subtlety meter, though. :rolleyes:

The only ones that I've heard of are Lawyer commercials for Class Action lawsuits.

Another one to add to the "why wasn't the marketing team fired" list:
Value City Furniture... the couple buys a couch from VCF and he says "makes everything else in the room so.... " and then they both start gagging and retching while they're looking at their old coffee table.
W. T. F.
gross.
