Excuse the long rant:

There's this local cable/satellite distributor that makes the most annoying ads! The announcer's voice is overly loud and enthusiastic (“¡LLAME YAAA!”), and a phone ringing sound is played during the whole thing. Not to mention that these commercial are played ad nauseam. They once had a commercial that seemed like it was over 5 minutes long. It had the worst production music ever, and it repeated the same things over and over, like some infomercial.

All the freaking commercials on Nickelodeon advertising BS toys that never worked when I was little.

Nickelodeon sucks today anyways. I miss classic 80s - mid 90s Nick.

The Geico commercials with the juice testing is just stupid IMO.

I second that.

We have a local dentist who does radio ads that make me want to scream.   :wacko:

Jim Keras Nissan (Annoying Commercial)


This is a live local commercial that has run at 7:58 every Saturday morning on our CBS affiliate, WREG-TV, for as long as I can remember. This commercial has always annoyed me, and everyone in the area that I have talked to about it. It's been the same guy that has always done those commercials. Also, sorry for the iPhone video, I didn't feel like lugging out my tuner. :P

Are there any scheduled live commercials in your market?

Those Apple “Genius” ads that premiered during the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. I saw one on the Internet, and it was smug, not funny, and just plain awful. Thankfully, Apple pulled the ads not long after they came out.

While it's not a commercial, this show annoyed me so much as a child. I swear the creators are on some kind of drug.  :rolleyes:

Another commercial I now loathe is the latest AutoNation spot. I get it, they're trying to get the word out that our local Bankston Autos in Dallas/Fort Worth is now AutoNation, but it's been (over)played on my local TV stations almost every commercial break. And why are they using a "Ghostbusters" theme?!

Bankston is now AutoNation!
