Not so much annoying, but more like disturbing.
Damn SubWay are coming out w/ these wrap artist commercials. There's one where the dude says, "come down to subway, I'll rub one out for you." WTF? That's just nasty.

Flip Side -- One of the Geico ads that's really funny is the ad which features the two "Soap Opera" actors. The man says to his girl/mistress (in all his "Days Of Our Lives" seriousness) .......
"I saved! I thought that meant something to you!"

DasMonkey is absolutely right. The whole point of the commercial is to do nothing more than pander to the more "Jabba-esque" people out there. By him saying "ohh...no offense, but if you are only looking to lose 10-15 lbs. then Corti Slim is NOT for you", it is attempting to make the really obese people who want to lose weight without working hard think "Oh my God! There is finally something that will work. This must be a miracle pill!" The fact that they do this, as well as the little "tell us how much weight you want to lose, and if your goal is healthy, we will guarantee results" thing just tries to convey the image that 1) they have a clue what they are doing, and 2) they sincerely care about you.
I truly feel sorry for the people who are so desperate that they would believe this kind of garbage. The funniest part about the whole "if you are only looking to lose 10 lbs. then Corti Slim is not for you" line is that those people are likely to have the best results using the product, since just about anything they will be losing will be water weight.
Horrible, horrible commercial, and if I ever come across the Sea Anemone on the street, I am going to light his ass up like a Christmas tree.

Wow... couldnt have said it any better... I have always been thin, but that guy pisses the hell out of me... I head similar weight loss ads with that same crap, about "don't use this product if you want to lose a ton of weight..." and things like that... you can see right through the delivery and straight to the greed...

while I am thinking about it... I also hate the stupid geico commercials... its just a rip off of the much funnier Holiday Inn Express type ads from a while back
Also cant stand Greyhound commercials, any types... those buses are the WORST... and the terminals are gathering places for the scum of the earth... had to take one years back for an army physical... and THAT was the worst part of the trip
