I hate every commercial with that evil-constipated-sounding movie preview guy. He does the previews for Friends and most NBC shows too. I hate that voice. He always sounds like he's about to molest someone.

The Gatorade "is it in you?" commercials where the athletes sweat gatorade. Who came up with this disgusting idea in the first place?!

I love that ad. The music is cool and the girl is a decent popper.

I could do without the Jason Alexander KFC ones. Man, has his career jumped the shark or what.

I heard KFC paid him 10 million for those commercials. I agree they are bad but for that much I am there guy.

Most annoying commercials...
...so, my question for everybody is, what commercials currently on annoy you the most?!
mine would have to be the Kia commercial with the two women meeting outside their high school reunion and prom king "Buff Johnson". the blonde woman makes me want to join the NRA (and i hate guns)...

That new Wherehouse commercial. "You're a teenage pop star..." or whatever the heck that guy is singing. I refuse to spend money there (not like I did anyway except on the very few decent used DVD deals they have sometimes [read: hardly ever]) until it's off the air, and I told em that too. The guy coulda cared less but it was funny to see his initial reaction.

Jeep Cherokee
The one commercial that made me yell in horror every time I heard it was that damn Jeep Cherokee commercial that had the song in it that started..." Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go". Not only was it on TV 24/7/365, but it was all over the radio. I headr that damn commercial so many times that I would literally yell at the top of my lungs whenever the commercial came on. My fiancee still thinks I am wierd.

I'm currently hating the Gatorade "water" commercial with the sports people jumping up out of a drop of splashed water.
As soon as I saw it, I knew that this commercial was destined to be repeated ad infinitum for 6 months or more.
Please somebody STOP GATORADE!!!
(Plus it doesn't help that the stuff tastes like semi-thick metallic tree-sap.
)
