Love the Bud ads, and the Target ad (believe it or not, I did have a dorm room that big once), and the Visa ads are OK too. Also love the AT&T campaign.

I hate the ExxonMobil ads, and I had to watch the toilet-scrubbing, ironing man ad two or three times before I got it...and now I can't remember whether it was GM or Chevy specifically.

Jocelyn,

This ad doesn't just irritate me, it infuriates me. There is so much misrepresentation in this ad that I want to join whatever group opposes them. $15 on a $100 loan. Hello...that is 15% per month. So why didn't they say, "if I need a $1000 advance, it only costs me $150." Because that would wise-up the consumer.

What they are trying to say is, "Preditory lending is a good thing. Poor folk have the right to choose who takes advantage of them and throws them into bankrupcy."

I hate the Chevy commercial and I still can't figure out what the guy is doing.

What I'm completely sick of are the Geico caveman ads. I don't mind him dancing but the one on the beach is annoying.

These commercials probably aren't shown in the States (I am seeing them on CBC...Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) but some of these for Bombardier are endearing:

(I know this is a thread about "annoying commercials", but I still wanted to contribute. )
