"WE'RE WHEELIN'....AND DEALIN'!!!!!!!!!! FAAAAAAAAMILY AUTO MART! When you want a deal that's great, call 242 0328..."
How sad is this that after living in Melbourne for 5 years, I have this entire commercial memorized, because they play it ALL the time! I know just what you're talking about astro!

I'll ask this question so you can see which commercial I'm talking about:

Do you know ANY child that has asked the UPS man to stay and play with them?

Just one word:
TWINS
I want to throw something at the tv every time that one comes on. I forget which beer it is for, but I'm not drinking it ever again!

Coors, and they're hot. They were featured in Maxim

Hee Hee - thanks Stan!
I knew someone would know.
Actually the "singing" on that commercial bugs me too.
Has anyone else noticed that many commercials will use a well-known song but instead of the original singer(s) they will use some cluck with NO voice at all?? That really annoys me.

There is this commercial for Hardee's that they show in MO....the 6 dollar burger or whatever.....
Ok, picture this little kid and his dad ATTACKING these cheeseburgers with ketchup, pickles, mustard, etc falling onto the table. It's so sick. At one point this guy has burger 'juice' or whatever the hell it is running down his arm and there's all these slurping noises- SOOOO GROSS!! It's supposed to make it appetizing.....totally lost on me....

Blahahah my thoughts exactly!!! That commercial just had me going

when I first saw it, it's soooo dumb. Other commercials I hate not b/c they're annoying but b/c they just plain freak me out and bother me are the ones for marijuana, like the one that implies a guy raping a girl, or those guys running that little girl over with the bike, or the kid shooting the other. They are just so

I can't even watch them!!!

I hate the stupid Gap striped sweater commercials. As if seeing those guys flitting around b/c of their special new sweater! is going to make me buy my bf one. Ugh.....

Oh yeah, and those, "Don't commit insurance fraud b/c you'll embarass your kids" commericals.

Actually Stan...yes! When me and my dad were out praticing softball or whatnot we'd always ask our UPS man to a play a pick-up game of softball. Or..the all-famous one is when a bunch of us were out playing touch football and our UPS man would jump in for a good half hour and play!

..and by the way..his name was Mark.. lol

speaking of Gap commercials, that one with the scarves where all the models appear to be 'singing' is annoying as HELL. Not least of all because for the rest of the day I'm going around with "Love Train" stuck in my head

Anyone who lives in New England has probably heard the annoying jingle for "Foxwoods Casino"....
My Sociology class burst out into that song right before our final the other day...
"THE WONDER OF IT ALL...TAKE A CHANCE, MAKE IT HAPPEN...etc."
it was amusing, but incredibly pathetic because we all knew the WORDS...(right down to the "Meet me at FOXWOODS! YEAH!" grrr

I remember, a WHILE back, some local car dealer was advertising his place....and RANDOMLY at the end of the commercial he yells "HEY CHICO!" and a LLAMA runs by....that commercial was SOO DUMB

My unfavorite is still the one I mentioned in the thread about WalMart--the heffa who runs all over WalMart frantically purchasing the best cuts of meat and the freshest fruits to stuff the faces of the bandies who sit in uniform in her living room and chow down.
