Discussion Question

[Jason Tate]

What's the absolute worst TV commercial you know? The one that's just so bad it actually makes you never want to purchase the product being sold? I have two: any Old Navy commercial, and the Fanta commercials. However, the commercial that spawned this question is the new "Cheerleader Tmobile" commercial. Commercials should not make you ache to stick pencils into your ear drums. Discuss.

It's a poitical commercial (I believe Forrester and Corazine). This is how I believe it goes...Corazine's ex-wife stands by Forrester's side and says..."Corazine let his family down, so don't allow him to let New Jersey down too".

So cold and such a cheap shot.

[Drew Beringer]

Yeah, that T-mobile one makes me want to punch infants.

Also, "Vote Or Die" commercials on MTV annoyed the piss out of me.

[getupkid53]

National American University here in minnesota has the worst one... other than that..... I I love love Double Double Chex chex better better than than the the rest rest!

[alaskanpunker]

The Fandango comercials at the theaters. They are the worst.

[Tony]

Given the time of year, I'd have to say that I hate all the local election commercials.

[Elijscott]

Honestly, I hate about 95% of all the commercials out there right now. The three that Jason named are just about the worst, though. It makes me want to start a marketing company.. but I'm sure that if I had to sell crap to the masses, I would have to make the commercials stupid, so it wouldn't work anyway.

[WSUskee]

I agree the election commercials are the worst. Here is Washington state we are voting to ban smoking in public places besides on indians reservations and the commercials just suck. They have one saying there is a better way to save your kids than using a large fan at a restuarant to get smoke away from your kids, what a joke.

[The Revisionist]

The new batch of Comcast commercials are all terrible, from the $20,000 Pyramid overdubbing to the girl in the coffee shop.

[Everiggs]

McDonalds commercials. I hate the one where that bitch ate that guy's McGriddles, apparently trying to show her attraction for him. She wasn't even hot...

[xllirikx]

every commercial for partypoker.com


especially the ones with Dennis Rodman. There is one where he is running from the bulls in Pamplona, and then the next scene is him playing cards, exclaiming its the only thing more exciting than running from starving bulls.

Terrible, I wanted to gouge my eyes out.

[Goodbye Forever]

"Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea! Yay Pepto Bismol!"

Argh.

[kchubb]

aladin bail bonds usually comes through with some shitty commercials... those quiznos commercials with the roadkill were pretty bad, although they were extremely successful... the anti-weed commercials are always classic... so bad i actually like them... taco bell is annoying too...

on the other side of things, jack n the box (C-I-A-B-A- double T-A) and burger king (the king w/ his amazing football catches/suprising lumberjack/ and office humor) always have some sick commericals...

[Jason Tate]

McDonalds commercials. I hate the one where that bitch ate that guy's McGriddles, apparently trying to show her attraction for him. She wasn't even hot...
I hated that one too.

[Jesse2]

McDonalds commercials. I hate the one where that bitch ate that guy's McGriddles, apparently trying to show her attraction for him. She wasn't even hot...
i came into this thread to express my utter hatred for this very commercial. i want to punch her in the mouth.

[Trainsaw]

Geico makes the best ever. I like old navy clothes they, they're mad cheap and you can wear them to work

[Johnatthedisco]

definatly the all-state auto insurance commercials

[Paul Tao]

I hate Coca-Cola commercials, the sickeningly feel-good ones.

[romantic rights]

i hate all carls jr. commercials. i'll bother you if you are eating if i want to damnit.

[Goodbye Forever]

I hate Coca-Cola commercials, the sickeningly feel-good ones.

"I'd like to give the world a Coke, and chill with it a while."

How awful.

[Jason Tate]

"I'd like to give the world a Coke, and chill with it a while."

How awful.
That one on the roof-top with the worst lip-synch ever? Arg. Obnoxious.

[crit]

Your parents died in a horrible accident...
but I have some good news.
I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance.


Those commercials are all pretty annoying.

[looram12]

I'm sorry Jason, I was gonna post about the worst commercial. . . but I was too busy getting stoned



last i checked getting stoned and making dinner plans with my grandma was a great idea

[1000shadesofred]

dude the funniest slash the worst commercial are hte new Kotex commercials where their new slogan "have a happy period". i ended up seein that with my GF and it just make me laugh/ her pissed!

[Jared Kaufman]

The new Thrice commerical.

[Flags of Dawn]

That one on the roof-top with the worst lip-synch ever? Arg. Obnoxious.
G. Love is awesome....shhhhhhhh.

[AtticusFinch317]

Fanta commercials. I didn't read up to that part and I instantly thought of those.

[1000shadesofred]

"I'd like to give the world a Coke, and chill with it a while."

How awful.

OMG those too... i want to fuckin murder that man singing on the rooftop... least original song ever...a fetus could write that song!!!

[Mercy Medical]

Yeah, that T-mobile one makes me want to punch infants.

Also, "Vote Or Die" commercials on MTV annoyed the piss out of me.
Hahaha

That made me instantly think of Dane Cook. :)

I'd have to agree with the Tmobile commercial.

[FightingFate]

McDonalds commercials. I hate the one where that bitch ate that guy's McGriddles, apparently trying to show her attraction for him. She wasn't even hot...

Is that the same chick from The Office or are they just similar looking?

The local Fucillo car commercials here in Albany have to be the most annoying commercials of all time. I think anyone that has seen them would agree.

[inanechild]

I have honestly never seen a Fanta commerical up here in Canada, or seen Fanta sold, but I have seen so many parodies of the Fanta commericals that I'm now desperate to see one.

[Pat Marquez]

haha so happy you said Fanta Tate.... I agree 100 percent... I have swore off the product.. I will NEVER buy a fucking fanta.

[Flags of Dawn]

Orange Fanta + Captain Morgan = Goodness.

[Jared Kaufman]

haha so happy you said Fanta Tate.... I agree 100 percent... I have swore off the product.. I will NEVER buy a fucking fanta.
"You look hot in all that plaster; drink some Fanta -- FASTER! FASTER!"

[arizonahotrock]

All McDonalds commercials. Period. Pretty much any commercial out right now, other than the BK ones. The first time I saw the King intercept that pass, I nearly pissed myself I was laughing so hard.

[Doubleya2002]

The local Fucillo car commercials here in Albany have to be the most annoying commercials of all time. I think anyone that has seen them would agree.
Yep, they're on about every 5 minutes. He's got dealerships all over the US. Apparantly down south he calls himself Billy Fernandez.

[ForeverInADay]

late night commercials for crappy phone chat type things.

Theres one I've seen once for where gay singles can meet (nothing against the gay population or anything at all like that) but in this commercial there was a half naked dude in hot pants swinging around a stripper pole while he was on the phone with another guy....


Did anyone else know that it's possible to swing around a pole all the while maintaining a conversation and a phone in your hand? Well, I do now.

[xOxBeMinexOx]

"You look hot in all that plaster; drink some Fanta -- FASTER! FASTER!"
That part always gets stuck in my head... sooo annoying and all of the late night phone chat line things. except those are actually funny to watch sometimes... the people aren't even that good looking...

[ForeverInADay]

Ricards Beer also, I don't know if its shown in the States or anything, but in Canada they're all dressed up in red gowns 'covering' a classical song (I don't know the name of it, but it's a fucking epic song) and they ruin it with crappy beer lyrics.

The bald dude in it is so intense though.


Also, those fucking FutureShop commercials with the black dude who's got that camel toe. I hate it.

AND THOSE FUCKING LAKOTA MEDICINE COMMERCIALS BAHH! fuck im spent.

[Jason Tate]

"You look hot in all that plaster; drink some Fanta -- FASTER! FASTER!"
Fuck you.

http://crazykelvin.virtualave.net/wklythght/june02/group800.jpg

If I had a hitlist, these girls would be right there.

[ForeverInADay]

That part always gets stuck in my head... sooo annoying and all of the late night phone chat line things. except those are actually funny to watch sometimes... the people aren't even that good looking...
hahahaha for real, they look like they're missing chromesones.

[justanact]

I also hate the fucking McGriddles commercial.

But I originally wanted to post that I hate ANYTHING TO DO WITH JAMSTER. I wanna rip that fucking nude frog's head off and shove it down their throats

Oh and the Burger King Chicken monsters. They creep the hell out of me.

Here's a solution...how about we all stop watching so much television?

[siimpx]

i hate the very graphic tampon commercial where the lady was talking to people in the grocery store. it made me want to throw up. i think people might have complained about it because they changed a few of the lines in it.

[Jared Kaufman]

Fuck you.

http://crazykelvin.virtualave.net/wklythght/june02/group800.jpg

If I had a hitlist, these girls would be right there.
By "hitlist" you mean bang repeatedly, right? I have some "Fanta" that can act as some "plaster."

[Jason Tate]

By "hitlist" you mean bang repeatedly, right?
Yep, bang, with a sledge hammer.

By "hitlist" you mean bang repeatedly, right? I have some "Fanta" that can act as some "plaster."
You wouldn't know what to do .. you'd spray your "fanta" before the first girl's top hit the floor.

[dartanian=gods]

it would have to the BURGER KING MEATNORMOUS sandwitch commercials, that has to be the nastiest looking thing I've ever seen. plus they totally robbed the idea of it from the simpsons.

[getupkid53]

You wouldn't know what to do .. you'd spray your "fanta" before the first girl's top hit the floor.
I bet if I sprayed fanta i'd get alot more blowjobs

[dead&broken]

I hate the northern quillted toilet paper commercial. The baby bear in the cartoon hides behind a tree shits, rubs his ass on the tree , then uses the toilet paper in his hand to clean. Smokey the bear doesn't want forest fires but it's okay for people to shit and wipe in the woods.

[piaffeprncess98]

Man, I hate that new cheerleader commecial too. It's pretty much what it sounded like when I went to see Acceptance w/ Yellowcard the other night. I seriously wanted to kill someone.

[HughJass35]

Because I don't wanna say anything someone else said, I'm gonna go with the Easy Button Office Max commercial with the paper jam and August Busch IV commercials for Anheiser-Busch where he wears those stupid shirts the the abnormally huge collars. Your beer sucks and I don't watch Nascar.

[70x7]

Honestly, I hate about 95% of all the commercials out there right now. The three that Jason named are just about the worst, though. It makes me want to start a marketing company.. but I'm sure that if I had to sell crap to the masses, I would have to make the commercials stupid, so it wouldn't work anyway.
If you started your own marketing company you wouldn't even make commericals, nor would you come up with the idea for commericials, so you'd really just be wasting your time

[AtticusFinch317]

I just thought of these...

First the one from a few years ago when they tried to say downloading music supported terrorism.

Second, the one right at the movies that is like "You wouldn't steal a tv... Downloading movies is stealing... yada yada yada."

[YellowNovember]

the one about not doing drugs and its got the grandma and she is sitting at the table and she is soo sad and and this voice goes "just tell your grandma you were out getting stoned" wouldnt you have the munhies i gues but she is just soo damn sad i cried

[AlreadyReady86]

National American University here in minnesota has the worst one... other than that..... I I love love Double Double Chex chex better better than than the the rest rest!

wrong! NAU's commercial is AMAZING, unless they did a new one since I've been in iowa for school. anyway you can see the actors trying to keep a straight face because even they know its ridiculous

[spagator]

i quickly skimmed through everything and am i correct that no one has mentioned ANY of the canadian tire commercials? that guy has to be the biggest tool in the history of ever. although he looks like my friend's dad so it kinda makes them slightly more amusing.

[electricpatrick]

i LOVE the fanta commercials. i just wanna have sex with those girls.

not sure what the tmobile one is though

[MikeAL4W]

The McDonalds one where the chick is talking to the guy at the table, and shes like "Women are like Mcgriddles" worst fuckin shit i was actually thinkin about how shitty it was last night. And i saw someone say somethin about theatre commercials. The ones where the three dumbass college kids are talkin about purchasing tickets online, thos fuckin blow too.

[pnkrckprncss]

haha now i want to see a fanta commercial jsut because all you guys down in the states hate them so much...

i absolutely hate the tampax commercial where that couple is on a date in a row boat and there's a leak and she shoves her tampon in the hole...who the fuck carries around an entire box of tampons first of all, and why would you stick it in the boat?

but the commercial i love is the toyota one where the guys are going away for the weekend to the cottage or whatever and the one friend throws the other friend's tupee out the window...that one made me laugh so hard the first time i saw it i almost peed myself.

[Cal Smith]

Oh, hands down the worst commericals are the English lady selling gum. I forgot the gum but she says, "Marvelous!" at the end

the one about not doing drugs and its got the grandma and she is sitting at the table and she is soo sad and and this voice goes "just tell your grandma you were out getting stoned" wouldnt you have the munhies i gues but she is just soo damn sad i cried

i love that commercial

[MikeAL4W]

McDonalds commercials. I hate the one where that bitch ate that guy's McGriddles, apparently trying to show her attraction for him. She wasn't even hot...

She looked like an Alien, seriously. Any woman who eats my Mcgriddle better get ready for a smack in the mouth, dont mess with a mans fast-food breakfast.

[waggy]

i hate to be that guy, but pretty much all the commercials mentioned here (especially fanta and old navy) are great commercials from a marketing perspective. before the fantanas commercial did you even know what fanta was? you will never hear someone say "you know what commercial i hate? the one with the girls in the different color outfits singing, i forget what it's for". on the other hand there's commercials that i absolutely love that i have a hard time remembering what they're advertising. so sorry to break it to you guys, but none of these commercials will be going away anytime soon, no matter how annoying you find them.

[Goodbye Forever]

it would have to the BURGER KING MEATNORMOUS sandwitch commercials, that has to be the nastiest looking thing I've ever seen. plus they totally robbed the idea of it from the simpsons.

MEAT ON TOP OF MEAT ON TOP OF MEAT.

BK makes the best commercials.

My other current favorite is the Snickers/fire commercial.

[Cal Smith]

best commercial was the jack in the box commerical about 5 years back with the boy band "the meaty-cheesey boys"

[Ancora]

the worst commercial is for this product named BOD...its some eurotrash spray that comes in a windex bottle and is supposed to get you laid. these dudes spray it on their waxed chests and then run up and down bleachers while there just happens to be a makeshift cheerleading squad practicing stripper moves and shit.

[MikeAL4W]

i hate to be that guy, but pretty much all the commercials mentioned here (especially fanta and old navy) are great commercials from a marketing perspective. before the fantanas commercial did you even know what fanta was? you will never hear someone say "you know what commercial i hate? the one with the girls in the different color outfits singing, i forget what it's for". on the other hand there's commercials that i absolutely love that i have a hard time remembering what they're advertising. so sorry to break it to you guys, but none of these commercials will be going away anytime soon, no matter how annoying you find them.

Sweet dude, thanks for enlightening us!

I coulda swore this was a thread made for sharing which commercials we hate, not about how darn smart the people are who create them. Or about marketing strategies and that bullshit. Im glad you learned something in high school marketing classes though.

[itmakesyoufeel]

McDonalds commercials. I hate the one where that bitch ate that guy's McGriddles, apparently trying to show her attraction for him. She wasn't even hot...
I HATE that commercial.
Also, there's a new one for Applebees and it's the most annoying song ever and I absolutely cannot stand the woman's voice. It makes me want to kill myself.

"I'd like to give the world a Coke, and chill with it a while."

How awful.
Try working an ENTIRE SUMMER at Wal-Mart and hearing that every 5 to 10 minutes. I don't know how people survive that place for years.

[angrylittleme]

Any car commercial.


And the Burger King commercials that go "... wake up with the King". Those are just creepy.

[StuDean]

the worst: old commercials for mentos, the freshmaker.

[FallOutBoyPunch]

There's a local commercial here in mass for Rick Ruberti Used Auto Sales, and it pisses me off because he has a bunch of testimonials and everyone's like "I bought 12 cars from Rick Ruberti," "I Bought 17 cars from Rick Ruberti." I don't get how having to buy 17 used cars is a good thing at all. So I throw rocks at his establishment every day when I drive by.

[rewindthistime]

The local Fucillo car commercials here in Albany have to be the most annoying commercials of all time. I think anyone that has seen them would agree.
oh my dear god. there's a fucillo in buffalo. and then at the beginning of school last year i moved into my dorm in syracuse and turn on the tv. first thing i see? a fucillo commercial. the worst commercials of life and there is just no avoiding them.

the worst commercial is for this product named BOD...its some eurotrash spray that comes in a windex bottle and is supposed to get you laid. these dudes spray it on their waxed chests and then run up and down bleachers while there just happens to be a makeshift cheerleading squad practicing stripper moves and shit.
hot bod. tight bod. nice bod. i want your bod.
yeahhh those commercials are bad

[bluecrunchy]

there's a commercial for some birth control pill where it's just a white room full of women playing frisbee with their "period." disgusting.

really, any commercial for "women's products" is annoying. the worst one is where a bunch of girls are on the beach, and then one says "i would kill for a brownie right now" and the other one replies "yeah, she's menstrual." WHY?

[stephisfinch]

I hate those terrible Jamster commercials.

[LitupSTi]

Also, there's a new one for Applebees and it's the most annoying song ever and I absolutely cannot stand the woman's voice. It makes me want to kill myself.

That song is fucking Petarded. They rhyme "italiano" with "going on-o". You can't just add a sound to the end of a word and pretend it rhymes. We can tell the difference. I hate Applebees.

And the Bod commercial makes me want to rip my colon out. It's not the male models pretneding to play instruments or the repetition of the word "bod" (which grates my taint). It's the guy at the end, who says "Bod fragrance sprays, by Body Fantasy" because you can totally tell that he is faking a deep voice. Ahhhhhh, I fucking hate euro-trash.

Jared, you probably know the Sticks and Stuff commercials. "Hi,I'm Tina Gordon, driver of the Sticks and Stuff racecar!" I'm sorry, would that be like a Nascar-car, or, say, a bumper-car? If you're selling whole dining room sets for $299 (That's right, just $299!), how can you afford to sponsor a race car? Maybe it's just her Camaro, because lord knows she drives one.

The Fantanas are the spawns of Lucifer. And conveniently diverse.

Does anyone else despise the "Girls Gone Wild" commercials? I think if anything will be the downfall of western civilization, this is it. Do I want to watch guttersluts validate themselves by licking eachother's taints and flashing everything with a blinking red light? Of course I do. But If I hear that fucking song one more time...

[eversosweetTEN]

I'm sure this is like a MA thing but vehix.com has possibly the most annoying commercials ever. And of course they're on during every commercial break on every channel. It's like a disease.

[KielxDeath]

The new Wendy's commercials: Square and Ranch Tooth. I love Wendy's but seriously what the fuck.

Has anyone ever seen the Appliance Direct commercials in Orlando, FL with the crazy asian dude? Funny as hell but terrible advertising.

[waggy]

Sweet dude, thanks for enlightening us!

I coulda swore this was a thread made for sharing which commercials we hate, not about how darn smart the people are who create them. Or about marketing strategies and that bullshit. Im glad you learned something in high school marketing classes though.

my point was that bitching about annoying commercials is about as useful as complaining about the weather. that's the whole fucking point. but you are in college so you know everything and us "high schoolers" will realize how futile it was arguing with you in a couple years. oh wait that defense doesn't work when you're talking to someone older than you. let me know when you can buy liquor.

[IHopeYourAlone]

have a happy period!

[FallingFaster44]

i work in electronics at target, and the tvs play an endless cycle of the same 5 commercials/10 songs and i hate them all. my most hated is a virgin mobile cell phone commercial with the three ugliest people on earth and god i hate it. it starts out with the ugly white guy on a bike, then two more of the same person ride up on bikes and he proceeds to persecute them for "copping his style". once the other two figure out they can actually get a cell phone plan with "their own style," they transform with a "ding" into two more ugly people. by the way, you can only be your own person with your own style by picking one of the three offered plans. no one else will be like you, so you wont have to worry about people copping your style.

target needs to change their commercials.

[weworemasks]

if anyone lives in texas:

the jim adler commercials. I WILL FIGHT FOR YOUR SETTLEMENT. JIM ADLER, THE TOUGH SMART LAWYER. THE TEXAS HAMMER!!!!!


i hate victory record's commercials on fuse: FLAWLESS VICTORY.
i hate the BOD commericals. "hot bod, nice bod, whatever."

thats about it.

[actionandaction]

MEAT ON TOP OF MEAT ON TOP OF MEAT.

BK makes the best commercials.

My other current favorite is the Snickers/fire commercial.

meat. and cheese. and meat and...cheese!

[updownleftright]

haha this thread is really funny. i dont think anyone has mentioned those commericals between price is right where they have like the clap on/off lights or those stupid egglands best commericals.

[estrellastarr]

the worst one is where a bunch of girls are on the beach, and then one says "i would kill for a brownie right now" and the other one replies "yeah, she's menstrual." WHY?


i absolutely agree. that commercial makes me want to throw things.

[xabadstarrx]

i hate the commericials where u text to get cell phone rings and cell phone screen savers.. they are sooo annoying. especially the one with like the chicken or something

[MyDaysOfDanger]

Just tell grandma you ditched the dinner plans you made with her because you were stoned.....she'll understand.

[avitabully]

Wendy's has this one where this kid who thinks he's nick cannon (something to be proud of) is trying to get his dad's car keys and he flashes some greasy ass burger and his dad is like , oh okay go ahead. then he comes in late and uses the same trick to win both his parents (including his finger snapping sista-mom) over again. HORRIBLE

oh and the Leeds Mattress commercials in L.A. are actually worse, they show the same clip of this salesman (Neil with the deal!) like three or four times but they try to make it look like he's saying something else each time. worst synch dub EVER

edit: pretty much any army navy marines national guard or reserves (i guess they call them the military!) commercial makes me cringe

[betweenyouandus]

the BMW commercial where that dickface is singing "the wheels on the bus" when suddenly his gay-fest ends with a call from on-star. every time i'm hoping for a mack truck to barrel through the intersection and ruin his shit. who the fuck puts "the wheels on the bus" on a cd and sings to it in their car. especially an adult with a nice car. what a *****.

[MikeAL4W]

my point was that bitching about annoying commercials is about as useful as complaining about the weather. that's the whole fucking point. but you are in college so you know everything and us "high schoolers" will realize how futile it was arguing with you in a couple years. oh wait that defense doesn't work when you're talking to someone older than you. let me know when you can buy liquor.


Sure thing! What flavor of wine coolers do you prefer?
