Which Commercials shown during the Olympics annoy you?
1. The Target commercial where the girls are dancing.
2. The VW commercial about torque
3. All of the McCain and Obama ads
4. There is one (obviously unmemorable) where I can't understand the lyrics from the song.
5. McDonald's Chicken Biscuit

There's a local TV ad promoting the NBC affiliate here that's totally ruining my Olympics experience.
At first I thought that the T-Mobile commercial with the Phelps Phan was cute, but now it's starting to bug me.

Yea, I was thinking wow, dorm rooms sure have gotten larger since I left school!!!! 
I hate all the political adds and the GE ads, they are lame....
However I love the VISA ads.... .This is my favorite...
And when they played this one live, I laughed...

Does anyone understand what the car (Chevy?) ad with the guy who:
1) Is ironing a rather small dress
2) Talking to someone on the telephone about a 6 month anniversary
3) Is washing out a bath room
is all about?

I believe they have simply tapped into my deepest fantasy - but I still do not want to buy a Chevy. The guy can come over any time . . .

The way I saw it -- Chevy's targeting the female audience, obviously. Possibly the soccer moms who might want to buy a new car. Their product seemed very soccer mom van-esque.

I know I'll be harassed for this, but the Morgan Freeman ones are getting to me. They are so melodramatic that they remind me of "Deep Thoughts" from SNL.

Yeah, and I don't get the new United commercials either. They're very bizarre and you really have to reach to try to connect what all the weird imagery has been to flying on United.

I forgot about these earlier, but those Lenovo commercials pretty out there as well. Especially the one about the husband gone for so long...and the sumo wrestlers.

*Our NBC station is running an ad campaigning against the state of Ohio taking away payday advance loans that is really annoying.

That one for sure. Then there's the one where a mom is complaining about co-pays, but it never quite makes sense how it ties into the payday advance loan thing. I think there's a third one as well, and all they're doing is using scare tactics and zero facts. Annoying.
I also don't like the Geico Caveman and Billie Jean King. Silly commercial.
Give me more Hank the Budweiser horse and Charlie Brown wins the Coke (I've seen it only once during the Olympics!) over the political ads!
