McDonald's fish McBites.   :pinch:
Ironically, I was at mickey D's for lunch this afternoon and that's what I had. Don't order it, fast food is not as good as it sounds.

I heard they were nothing special. Never was really a fan of McD's fish sandwich either, BK's is much better.

GEICO's recent "How happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars by switching..." ads. They... are... just... terrible!  :hammer:

Yes they are. 

And their gecko "I HAVE A FLAT TIRE" ad is annoying.    :angry:

That new Progressive ad with Michael Buffer (the "Let's get ready to rumbllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllle" guy) takes annoying to a new level.   :club:

All Progressive ads. Seriously, Flo was mildly funny when she first debuted, but it's gotten really old.

Pandora shows some rather obnoxious ads. One is for some Microsoft program that allows people to collaborate over the internet. A good product, I'm sure, but the chick they hired to do that ad is annoying as heck. She's a stuck-up b****, and I assume that's supposed to be funny, but it's not.

The other one is for a local hospital. It's one of those ads that companies do for some reason, where they brag about how awesome they are. And at the same time, telling you very little about what they do. This one, in particular, brings out all the cliches like "we are never standing still" and "making healthcare healthier." Which, unless other area hospitals have a stated goal of making people sicker, means nothing to the listener.

That one (AT&T?) where that guy is talking to the kids, and that annoying little girl says "We want more, we want more."   :angry:

What about the Texas Car Title and Payday Loans commercial. Goes something like:

"I need some CAAAASSHH!
I need some CAAAASSHH!
I need some CASH! He needs some CASH!
I really need...some...CAAAAAAAAAAAAASSHH!"

There was a recent Cash Call Mortgage commercial featuring one guy and his mother, both of whom are played by the same person. Somehow I don't find that ad very amusing at all  :no:

I agree.  And the same can be said about the GEICO gecko.

The GEICO camel/Hump Day ad.

A lot of people love it, and a lot of people hate it.  I'm in the "hating" group.

I 100% agree, Don.  Side splitting humor.  :rolleyes:
