What's worse is when, for example a comedy, opens at 3rd, behind 2 action movies, and then it gets touted as "The #1 Comedy in America"... if it's so good, why'd it only finish in 3rd?

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.

I hide during the Reebok "This is a woman's world" commercials they show during Survivor.

Details? How is this done?

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

Another annoying car commerical is that Mitsubishi one, where they film a female passenger going through an epileptic seizure and put it to music....


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. :)

I must be too old or too normal to get that commercial. :whofart:

I'd also throw in those preachy commercials, like the "Truth" & the "Your money may go to terrorists if you buy dope" -rolleyes-

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 stupid car commercial where this woman is doing the robot inside the car. That freaking commercial plays a zillion times a day!

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.

The Blockbuster guinea pig. Total ripoff of the Caddyshack gopher.

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. :whofart: )

Rypro 525 04-25-02 02:16 PM

the new mcdonalds comercial (i work there), that has that damn spice girls song.
mazda "zoom, zoom"
all of the britney spears pepsi commercials.

MrN 04-25-02 02:24 PM

I would say the '1 800 ATT' - especially the Carrot Top ones. I can't escape them - they seem to be on every channel I watch.
