I don't particularly like the guy in this 1953 commercial for "Heet".

Almost any celebrity. That My Pillow guy simply because that commercial is played over and over. Those 1-877-Kars-For-Kids.

All of them! I despise commercials and the hack advertisers who create them.
Seriously, imagine yourself at a meeting with actual CEOs pitching some of these ideas with a straight face and then getting a paycheck for them.
Advertiser: "Well, Geico kinda sounds like Gecko. Why don't we put a gecko in the ad telling people to buy insurance..."
CEO: "Brilliant! That's not retarded at all! Give that man 50,000 dollars a year and a corner office!"

Sprint Paul is a fucking traitor. Verizon should sue him.
Can't stand Flo.
I used to like Wendy from Wendy's.
That bitch from Boost (cell service with the switch) who goes all ghetto with the customers. Bogofreephonebro!

Any of the oldtimers selling that reverse mortgage shit. I don't mind THEM but I do mind the commercials in general. My bank has been trying to get me to refinance my mortgage and I refuse. You start all over again with 30 years. 12 years down the drain. No thanks. |

Mostly the local car ads where the owner YELLS at you to buy his cars
and / or
The kids of the owners who YELL at you to buy their cars.
or
The kids of the owners who have been forced to do a little skit in an ad and mumble their way through it.
Local Water Softener company now has a 2nd generation of kids doing their commercials.
Mom is doing a bit better than when she was a kid. Just a bit.
(I like Flo and Jan and the Gecko, btw )

The commercials for Lincoln with Matthew McConaughey. What a douche bag.

I think it's a waste of money hiring A-list celebs to do voiceovers for companies like BMW, AOL, etc. No need to waste so much money on them when a professional voice actor can do the job easily for a whole lot less money.

The woman in commercials for the Humane Society and ASPCA who uses the sad sad sad whiney voice telling how miserable and pitiful the huge eyed little kitties and puppies are and if you call in the next ten minutes you will get a T-shirt.
Same voice does the hospitalized kids ads.
The kid in the Shriners Hospitals ad is at least funny and cute and he doesn't whine. He'll send you a teddy bear blanket!

How could Catman forget that Popeye's spokeswoman and the billion auto guy?
And those Shriners Hospital kids are a welcome change from most ads.

HEADONAPPLYDIRECTLYTOTHEFOREHEAD. HEADONAPPLYDIRECTLYTOTHEFOREHEAD HEADONAPPLYDIRECTLYTOTHEFOREHEAD...
the trivago guy... who cant afford a haircut, a shave or to fix his hair so that it is only salt and pepper?

Since we didn't have commercial TV until the mid 1980s, I don't know much about it, except a few movie scenes of that "Happy Housewife" sort of thing, the overjoyous housewife.  With the right pots and pans the happy housewife delivers to the perfect husband, the turkey from the oven (Who smokes a pipe), and her two caucasian happy children is deleighted. |

The two guys in the Sonic ads. I've read they are professional comedians. I would have never guessed.
