Most despised commercial ever


Quote  |  Reply

I HATE HATE HATE this commercial from Jack in the Box, so of course it played a 1/2 dozen times in the 45 minutes I watched American Idol last night.  And so I went to bed with that as an ear worm.  I finally had to get my iPod to listen to just to get to sleep.    

My 2nd on my list of most hated is Burger King's Square Butts commercial.  Way to go Burger King, advertise a KIDS meal with a song like this.  

What are your most hated?  Links would be great!

Enzyte (sp?) male enhancement commercials - the manic smile is creepy on too many levels to describe. And as subsets: Cialis and Viagra ads. Seriously has anyone ever seen two people sitting in separate bathtubs together anywhere on the planet??

Square butts makes me laugh. But the king is still bad news bears.

Dig the Kia Hamster ads only because of the ever so cool nod the passenger hamster throws out.

 

I LOVE the Kia hamster commercial.   Kinda makes up for the others. 

He-he... (in my best Beavis voice)  ...she said "butts.""  He-he...

In no particular order:

These IO digital cable commercials they have out here drive me insane.  There's one in particular where they rap, but they're all terrible.

The commercials for Extenze and a bunch of other pills supposed to make "that certain part of the male anatomy" larger.  The wooden-faced women creep me out.  Especially the parts where they do interviews with "men off the street" and these barneys all stop with their supermodel wives (who basically sit there and giggle)... riiiiiiight.

Most Burger King commercials with the king.  Again, creepy.

Subway's five dollar foot-long campaign.

 No kidding?  I just watched it and thought it was cute.  But we don't have Jack in the Box here, so I don't get stuck watching it 20 times a day either.

 totally agree, now that's the way to sell a car!!

I can't link to it since it's a radio commercial, but the McCafe one they're running right now drives me up the wall.  "Thanks to McCafe I can now watch football and be a man again."

I want to stab something.

Anyone else hate the GIECO commercial with the stack of money? Hate it!!!!

 

One of the WORST commercials ever to exist in my lifetime of viewing TV has to be the Direct TV commercial with Beyonce. I hate EVERYTHING about it from her stupid dancing, to the fact that she's singing about upgrading to the despicable "UPGRADE" gold chain she has in her mouth. Whoever invented this commercial should be put in prison and whoever approved the commercial should be given the death penalty, lol

Yes. And there are quite a few variations, and they all suck.

 Oh yeah, those are just creepy...and no Geico doesn't save money (at least not for us).  We both have perfect drving records and they quoted us $300 more for 6 months than we are paying now with Safeco, and $200 more than Allstate quoted us.

I like the insurance company ad about 'doing the right thing'. I didn't realize all the scenarios were actually the same family.

The commercials I'm most exposed to are ones on Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon when my 8 year old is watching TV.

Most of them don't bother me, but I would rather hear fingernails on a chalkboard than those "Kidz Bop" commercials.  Seriously - do kids actually find these more appealing than the original just because kids are singing them?

On a related side note - they had karaoke at my son's school picnic last Saturday. I was torn between confusion and amusement when I heard two 10 year old girls trying to do "Baby Got Back", but hearing two 7 year olds butcher "Back in Black" nearly made my ears bleed.

 Chiefsfan, you must be from KC like me (love your username, by the way).  I don't know if this commercial is outside of our area or not.  But I, too, hate it with a passion.

 This is the one I was gonna put! Hate them!

There are 2 more I hate more than anything but apparently I have managed to completely block them from memory cause I cannot remember either one. I remember that I make DH change the channel though.

We've got in in MD too. Incredibly annoying.

I like the little stack of money from Geico, but I hate the cavemen.   I also really like the jack in the box commercial the op was talking about, but like peaches we dont have jack in the boxes here so that commerical was new to me.

greatly dislike the Kay jewelers ads.

Every kiss does not begin with a gift of jewelry a-holes! In fact I submit that most don't.

But... but... how will I know he loves me if he doesn't get my presents from Kay?

How about nutrisystem?

"I'm not like most girls... I love football... [catches football]... see, how many girls can do that?"

umm... all of them...
