"I have a structured settlement, and I need cash now..." That one plays in my zone about every ten minutes, it seems. I especially hate the version with the three white boy hip-hoppers. There seems to be a pretty explicit assumption that the minority groups these ads are fairly clearly targeted to are exceptionally stupid, and that anything pitched to them in a rap/hip-hop format they'll accept without question. |

Those Panera 'clean food' ads. The girl who does the voiceovers for those is just so--smirky sounding. And WTF is clean food--as opposed to dirty food? I somehow doubt that Panera's food is much better for you than any other 'upscale' chain box's food is.

Ads that think they're going to get my business by insulting me. The biggest offender is Direct TV which tries to paint cable tv users as bumbling, masochistic idiots.
The two Sonic guys. Do these two live at Sonic? I recently learned they're professional comedians. I would never have guessed.

Since they invented DVRs, I haven't watched anything as it's being broadcast, so any commercial I see zips by at 4X speed (with no sound).
I take that back: I'll sometimes look at TCM in real time...and I hate their "wine club" ads.

I hate most commercials but esp those for prescription meds. They spend more time warning you about the possible side effects that you're almost tempted to take your chances with nothing at all.
I once met a man who worked for an advertising agency and he sheepishly admitted that they will do anything to sell a product because they all believe the viewing public are brain dead sheep who will buy into anything that's put in front of them. Gee, ya think?

Most of the ongoing concepts that GEICO puts out especially those damn "It's what you do" ones.
As someone else mentioned the latest ones (I don't know what it is an ad for) with the trio of white hippity hoppers. The one in the middle has a damn visor on upside down making him look even stupider than he was to begin with.
The medication ads with the mile long list of side-effects which very often includes something that will kill you. Gee should I suffer this horrible chest pain, or take this non-wonder drug with side effects that will destroy my liver and possibly kill me by stopping my heart and filling my lungs with fluid.
Those Kia commercials with the kid spokespeople a little girl and boy that are supposed to be brother/sister. usually the girl is talking while the boy is doing something stupid in the background.
During election season any and all campaign ads because they never tell you how the candidate being sponsored stands on any of the issues, they just blast the opponent(s) with lies about their lies or how they have voted in the past.
OH those car ads that sponsor a specific movie because the car is in the movie or they just want to show clips from the movie along side images of cars driving way too fast in dangerous conditions.

OH those car ads that sponsor a specific movie because the car is in the movie or they just want to show clips from the movie along side images of cars driving way too fast in dangerous conditions. The white boys are sponsored by J.G. Wentworth, which appears to be some ambulance chasing law firm which will buy up your structured payouts from that whiplash annuity settlement for a big lump sum of cash. Just the sort of thing people who are stupid enough to wear upside-down visors would go for. The med ads are particularly hilarious when you make them into a game of trying to guess which ones will be featured in the next group of litigation lovin' lawfirms ads: the ones filling up the dockets with suits for what appears to be the heinous fallout from every prescription med manufactured in the last ten years. My personal favorite is the one for the drug Abilify (which was initially intended as some sort of 'booster' drug for your antidepressant drugs, just in case they weren't making you manic/suicidal enough on their own); Abilify apparently turns you into a crazed gambling junkie--and as we all know, it's been scientifically verified that running up huge debt, losing your home and alienating your friends and family is a sure cure for depression, or at least a great way to take your mind off of it. This was my favorite of the animated Abilify ads: www.ispot.tv/ad/7oAZ/abilify-add-abilifyWatch the eyes of Cartoon Mom on Abilify at about 1:03 onwards. I swear she looks as if, sometime after the barbecue, she's going to kill Dad and the kids in their beds and burn down the house later that night. Instead, I guess she just hocked the car and sold the family dog into prostitution for Bingo money, but either way it looks as if Abilify might have livened up her family life pretty considerably. |

I don't watch tv, so I don't see ads. I used to listen to baseball on the radio and the same exact ads every half inning would drive me nuts.

Ads for the local news programs. The normal ones are bad enough, showing the entire news team chumming around at a local restaurant talking about how seriously they take their jobs. The holiday ones are painful with the news team gathered in someone's house sharing their special holiday memories.
And, of course, there are the self-congratulatory ads showing them volunteering for something or the other. You really expect to see them with their arms in slings because they dislocated their shoulders from all that patting themselves on the back.

That commercial where subway and Burger King make McDonald’s look like they beat chickens with babies is hilarious. Otherwise I hate commercials. They get in the way.

the amount of NON NYC establishments promoted in NYC. fuck you sonic! eat a bag of dicks red robin! Walmart too but srsly, i can live without Walmart. no need to see people wearing their hair as a dress, thank you very much.
'i was hit by a car and soandso got me 5 million dollars. 5xmore than what the insurance said they would pay. [and now you had to give 1million to them. do you really NEED 4mill? especially since you are standing there in front of a camera looking all pretty and NOT INJURED OR DISFIGURED? [oh, and great saying how you were jaywalking at midnight and wearing black!]
1877karsforkids...k a r s kars for kids... doh nate your car to day.
the kia commercial girl. slappable. i find her snotty and a know it all and she mumbles. but the boy is relatable. i love him in the doughnuts one! om yeah.
this new clear braces commercial [not the invisalign] where the girl had lozt her configenze because of her teeth. um, was the lisp there before? and now she is all overbite so what good were those braces? [and this is the only testimonial they have shown so wtf is up with that?]
i mentioned this before but not on this thread... i was at my dentist's office and the soccer game was on telemundo. and the coke commercial came on with the sharing a coke with this one who shared a coke with that one... IN SPANISH. the song lyrics made no sense. too wordy.

And then there's those ads for psoriasis treatments using drugs like Humira. What's annoying is that instead of focusing on the pain and itching, they focus solely on the embarrassment. Yes, being embarrassed is a damn good reason to take a drug that knocks down your immune system and puts you at risk for other diseases.
