Commercials You Loathe
« on: April 25, 2008, 10:48:46 AM »
So what commercials annoy you the most?

Here's my list:

- The latest Progressive Ads that tells all about Progressive Online...in a Grocery Store form ("We have a savings of over $350! We have a savings of over $350!" yes, we heard ya!)
- That "OMG" promotion of "Gossip Girls".
- Countrywide
- Zantrex 3 (Fast talking gibberish and a lot of "Yes")
- Rooms To Go w/ Cindy Crawford (They could've played anything other than Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head")
- "Viva Viagra!"
- The original HeadOn ads
- Verizon: "Can You Hear Me Now?"
- Vonage (with that annoying background music)

Kia Match Ads

Almost forgot about one of those ads. Of course, how do you explain Gucci Mane in that "
Freaky Gurl
" music video toasting a car?

Staying in that general Kia topic, what about the so-called multiple choice commercials like this one:

Is it...

A) The Kia Sedona
B) The Kia Sedona
C) The Kia Sedona
D) All of the Above
______________________________________________

Here's my multiple choce question on that commercial:

Is it...

A) The Kia Sedona
B) Richard Nixon
C) A Jacuzzi
D) A Jar of Cashews

Metro PCS "Hello, Hello, Hello" Ads
Didn't they just changed their logo a few weeks ago?

It seems the MetroPCS ads says, "Permission To Speak Freely". 6 months later, "Unlimit Yourself", 6 more months later, "The Leader in Unlimited". I mean c'mon! Stick to one slogan for a full year!!!!

I don't mind the "Year-End Sales" ads, but the one that's overplayed is the "Year End Sell-A-Thon". 10 times per hour each station! IT'S ANNOYING!!!!

Took 15 years to get that "I like to moveit-move it" song outta my head! Thanks a lot "Year End Sell-A-Thon". <_<

I always have and always will hate those HeadON commercials or any commercials that repeat the same thing over and over again like they're trying to brainwash you. There was one Burger King ad I liked where a lady had smacked this guy and told him UNBELIEVEABLE! They only showed it a couple of times then it was gone, I can't even remember what kind of burger they were promoting.
