This shows everything that is wrong with Scientology. I find completely tactless that they use the tsunami disaster to promote their vague cult.

Re: Most annoying Television commercials?

The worst thing about the Olive Garden commercials is the whole "you're family here." No, when my family invites me over to eat they don't charge me a cent, bitches!

Do you mean you and your neighbors don't shout back and forth to each other about hot links when you're grilling...at the exact same time?

No, but if they did I'd probably douse them with lighter fluid and butane their asses!

The commercials for Amazon Kindle and any commercial that has a Regina Spektor or Ingrid Michaelson sound-alike chick doing the jingle (You know what I mean, anything with a piano and a baby-voiced girl) are all annoying me to the point where I'm starting to turn away from female singer-songwriters thinking it's a commercial for something I'm never going to buy! I swear, I think these guys are in a boardroom pitching away with "We need something really catchy and current and safe sounding for this...I know! That chick that they call this year's Feist--What's she doing now?"!

Fucking Cymbalta. The voice-over is oh so sympathetic, you can just hear the ache in her voice. Depression huuuurts, Cymbalta can help.

If they're making enough money off this stuff that they can advertise it on every commercial break on every station, they're making too much money off it. I'll stick with good old fashioned booze to treat my depression, thanks.

*do not take if you do not like rectal bleeding, or scratching your eyeballs out. Cymbalta has not been shown to actually work.

The one that I've seen alot recently, especially on Hulu is that Geico commercial with that young guy with some over the top Robert Stack immitation voice. That commercial drives me nuts.

I didn't see anyone mention Dr.Scholl's Gellin -

There's also a local injury lawyer, "1-800-Ask-Gary". I couldn't find video of the particular commercial I wanted, but it looks like the cast was pulled off a bad, white trash episode of Cops.

This commercial sends black rage deep into my skull. It's aired practically every commercial break, so when I watch live tv I want to scream. I seriously want to slap that one girl every time she says "Edward's had 100 years to learn how to love."

Maybe if this chick had used the website to get a better education she wouldn't have to do shitty commercials like this.

I bet your quarry is Joel Veitch, who did the awful Quizno's commercials from 2004 (with the spongemonkeys) and Crusha ads such as this one:

Re: Most annoying Television commercials?

The motto for Olive Garden is "When you're here, you're family."

Reminds me of the time some comedian made a joke about going to Olive Garden and not paying the bill because he told the cashier that he was family and he wasn't obligated to pay.

"But I'm family, I don't have to pay. Don't you recognize me? It's your Cousin Vinnie."

See even that was depressing.
I understand there's a Village in Ethopia that gets almost $200,000.00 a year in Royalties from that Xmas song "Band Aid" came out with in the 1980s.

I keep hoping someone such as Bob Rivers or "Wierd Al" Yankovic would do a Parody of this song called "Do they know we're not poor anymore?"
