FAMILY AUTO MART! I am from Central Florida and those drive me crazy! In highschool my friends would watch them all the time because they thought that they were funny. OOOOO I hated it!

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I forgot my Chicago roots!

Funny stories related to Chicago commercials:
In 8th grade, one of the kids knew the entire Eagle Man commercial in Spanish, and would do all the faces and expressions and tones of voice and everything. Even our teachers would die laughing.

One day my best friend got paged with 588-2300. She called it and was so pissed. I laughed my ass off and later that day my boyfriend paged her with it because he couldn't believe she had been so gullible. We'd have pager wars with that damn number.

I'm laughing so hard I swear I'm about to die!!!

One time (and this was when I was in high school) a guy asked for my number and I gave him 588-2300. I tried to be all subtle about it, like: 5-8-8-2-3-zero-zero. Haha.

I think these are probably regional, but I really can't stand the singing TCF Bank commercials. They're lame.

I don't know about obnoxious, but the gatorade commercial where the guy rings out his basketball uniform and drinks his sweat is really gross.

ok either the sub jarrod commercials, or anything by dell. I swear they take an tie up retarted monkeys that type those commercials, i mean who else would pick that kid to be in a commercial, he looks like a retarted version of bevis and zack from saved by the bell.

The marijuana add w/ the girl and guy annoy me too. But mainly because they repeat the same scene over and over again. I always kind of figured it was aimed more at guys than girls. Not so much of "ladies, you'll get yourself raped" but "boys, you won't be thinking clearly and end up forcing yourself on her"

There's another one w/ the guys going through the drive thru and then running down the little girl on the bike. I always think "where is her mother!"

Tampax Pearl
Am I the only one that cringes and thinks of all the rush songs that refer to our pearls. I always think "I'm a pearl girl. I'm an XYZ. We're the best...yada yada yada" It's bad enough that there's a line in Pass It On that makes me think of feminine products. Now feminine products make me think of sororities. Freakin' wonderful!

558-2300 Emmmmmmmmpire!!!!!!!!!

Go see Cal Go see Cal Go see Cal!
favorite part of the Cal Worthington radio ad on 933 "When it costs half as much your payment could be half as much!" Uh, ya think?

LOVE the Joe Boxer guy, always brings a smile.

The GEICO radio ads that play off of classic plays. I work for them and think WTF!

Pretty much any insurance ad annoys me unless its got the gecko in it really.

the geiko commercials are weird

so, is the one car commercial that plays Nelly's 'Country Grammar' and the guy keeps stopping on his brakes. . .and since I'm an advertising major, I'm all 'they are trying to target young adults. . .that's the wrong way to do it. . .'

the nicorette commercial is hilarious. . .where the cigarette vending machines are following the guy all around and shooting cigarettes at him. . .

There's a local commercial that plays in Murfreesboro for the "Blue Raider Bookstore" (where they sell textbooks & MTSU merchandise). It's soooo obviously cheaply made & annoying as hell. It shows the camera going through the store as if ur looking through the eyes of this guy & u can hear is voice- he's like "Oh boy, Blue Raider Bookstore! I didn't know they had sooo much STUFF! Wow I can get books here & everything! Wow!" It has to be the lamest ad I've ever seen. The guy is panting in it too as if he's a friggin DOG lol... "oh boy oh boy heh heh heh".

I have an isue with that pot one, Pot decreases sex drive in men. It does not make us horny. It makes us sterile if the seeds get smoked too much. Also, let's face it. You smoke it, it will cause cancer. Just like tobacco. Maybe not so much in the lungs because there is less tar, there is still tar though, but in your mouth. Your still putting something on your gums. Those are the real dangers of weed. You won't have the energy to rape someone.

"Oh my gosh, so, like, my friend, like, got contancts instead of glasses, so like, now I like have to, like, get a pair too! Like totally!" LOL... I hate those stupid teenyboppers who are all gung-ho for contacts. Not that contacts aren't great, but it's just the way they're trying to make it all "hip" LOL.
