No mention of those stupid Geico commercials yet? The one's with the stack of money with the beedy eyes.

I actually really like the Burger King ones:

"That burger you're eating is from BURGER KING!"

"um, yeah, we're IN a burger king"

Great store

Yeah the "old dude" is really creepy.

And the actor's "old guy voice" is incredibly fake sounding.

I laugh at this commercial everytime I see it. The part where he texts her a photo of herself on the bench is great because we've all MMS texted before so we know that he must have sat there waiting about 10 minutes for her to get the message and at least another few minutes just for her to see it.

Listerine commercials are extremely annoying.

The most recent ones even have music that sounds like people are gargling.

Yeah when I see it I feel like calling up AT&T and yelling, "hey, AT&T, nice ad with the MMS... you think you could actually try enabling it for the iPhone now that it's available?"

The one where the girl is like "your butt is calling, please answer your butt"

But, I actually like when he says his butt hung up on her.

Thread over. I win.

This commercial makes me wish for the extinction of the human race.

-or-

This commercial makes me want to punch an elderly person in the face.

I shop at Best Buy often and I've never seen a badge with a year older then 2007 on it.

What's worse is everytime I see that ad I think of (NSFW - skip to the 1m 50s mark):

There was an ad for I think Sunsilk and I think it was voiced by Linda Lampanelli, I fucking hated that ad with every ounce of my being.

It's the Seabond commercial with the old people singing "Bye bye paste, bye bye yuckiness"

Agree! It's like a bunch of white suburban rappers on Xanax.

kenbuzz · 07-08-09, 10:49 AM

But I can trump that. The Lamisil commercials annoy me by making me want to hurl:

"Come on Down!!!"

You should also refuse to shop there because the furniture quality sucks ass. The commercials that annoy me the most are the various dick hardener ads.

That said, I've watched more commercials in this thread than I've watched in months. Funny thing is, I found the original poster's selections quite enjoyable. :P

That's what I was thinking/going to say... people actually still watch commercials

Word. I refuse to watch it. I'll hit "last" on my remote and watch anything other than that.
