Annoying Commercials

[DrPhil]

Are there TV or radio commercials that you despise?

What say you, GC?

I'll start:

I hate Bounty paper towel commercials, particularly these:

When did it become cute and funny for children to make a mess?

Since when do parents clean up after children who are fully capable of cleaning up after themselves?

Since when do people chuckle and say "life is full of tests?"

Since when does someone get to bring in a messy dog and chuckle as the other person cleans up after the dog?

Ugh I hate these damn commercials.

Those commercials with the damn Charmin bears. I'm glad you enjoy taking a dump and wiping. I don't need to see the look of bliss on your face as you wipe. It's toilet paper, not sex.

OMG, these make me crazy, too. Other "poop" related commercials I hate:

- The Clorox bleach commercials, especially the one where two dads are talking in the park and the 4-year old kid sh_ts himself. I don't care how young the kids are, it's gross.

- The Luvs diaper commercial with the kids bearing down to fill their diapers.

And more that drive me crazy...

- The Geico pig - just grates on my nerves.

- The Progressive lady - enough already, she's annoying.

- Kay Jewelers "open heart jewelry" - they are so ugly!!

- JG Wentworth - "It's my money and I want it now" - ALL of the commercials, especially the one with the opera singers

- Disney commercial with the grandfather interrupting the kid's play by singing a song from the "Lion King" - not funny.

- Eharmony commercial with the "granddaughter" with the fake speech impediment. If she really had it, she should/would have pronounced the "r" in the word "teacher" incorrectly as well. She's really annoying.

- The Lumosity. com commercial with the woman with short hair - she just bugs the hell out of me.

- The "Cotton" commercial with actress Hayden Panettiere - she comes across like a poseur trying to be "country".

I read somewhere that's she's the highest paid commercial "star" on television.

- JG Wentworth - "It's my money and I want it now" - ALL of the commercials, especially the one with the opera singers

Now I have that song in my head... "Call JG Wentworth.. 877 cash now!" Ugh, so dumb.

It really makes me sad that there are people who actually make a decent living coming up with these horrible ideas...

All the ones for dating sites: eHarmony, Christian Mingle, Farmers Only, Our Time ...

I think the Geico pig is CREEPY!!!! And irritating to boot.

I want to slap the eHarmony kid back to last week - as well as the founder guy who is in it with her for thinking that ridiculously dumb commercial is a good sell for the company.

I find her not only annoying but lacking in acting skills.

I second this. Any of those look-at-these-crying-children/animals commercials just upset me more than anything. As someone else said, I do my social work; I don't need depressing blackmail.

WHAT. Thank goodness those are gone.

ALL GEICO commercials are AWFUL. Who the hell is approving them?
Also, the King got really, really creepy for a bit, but I'm okay with him now. I think they've toned him back.

Only part of the country will get this, but I despise FOOORRRRMAAAAAAN MIIIIILLLLSSSS commericals.

Also, H&R Block's "get you billion back America" commercials because they're on the radio every 5 seconds.

Finally, this isn't a commercial, but it is an advertisement: I am soooo tired of seeing Joumana Kayrouz's face on everything. I swear at this point show owns every bus (inside and out) and billboard in Metro Detroit.

I actually have no issue shopping at Forman Mills -- I got a really cute leather coat there last month -- but I HAAAAAATE their commercials.

My sister and I -- both native Washingtonians -- giggle about how the Forman Mills commercials remind us of "AT! ALL! 6! MORTON'S!!!!!!"

The Esurance commercial with "Beatrice" tries way too hard.

[DrPhil]

Do the Charmin bears have coprophilia? Not to be confused with coprophagia.

LOL. I like the first Esurance Beatrice commercial. Beatrice is probably how my parents would sound if you talked to them about social media.

"That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works."

Annoying Progressive commercial:

I don't get the joke.

Annoying Discover Card commercial with the twin sisters:

This is dumb, but I can't stand the end of the Papa John's commercial, when he nods/twitches his head as he says the tag line, "Better pizza, better ingredients, Papa John's." I get it's for emphasis, but it drives me crazy!!

[Lovethesand]

Any of the Sonic Drive-In commercials with the two guys.

Swerve: I do like the Lowe's commercial where the guy places the last bathtub tile and then they slowly start to fall down. The look on his face is priceless. My husband said if it was him he'd walk away, close the door, and never enter again.

Some earlier commercials with them were actually pretty funny. Recently, though, they've become really annoying, and they lack any kind of humor.

[DrPhil]

The annoying black and white commercial with the kid voice over saying something like "there are mammals in the ocean...but we still" and on and on and on. At the end the kid says something like "doesn't stop us from being...GOOD."

What the hell?
