which commercial do you hate?

I HATE the "I have the Sunday ticket" commercial (I think it's only on directv). I want to puke all over the place every time I hear it...anyone else have any commercials they can't stand? or am I the only one with this problem?

I agree with scuba_Dave. Once I got TIVO I stopped watching them.

That commercial was just on like 30sec. ago. Soooo freakin annoying. Thankfully I haven't had to watch the Paris commercial (maybe they don't play it here? Have direct tv though...).

The red bull "It gives you wings" commercials drive me up the wall. I also hate pretty much any personal injury or class action lawyer commericial on TV. I don't think lawyers should be able to advertise, but thats just my opinion.

A lot of these commercials they must not play here or something? Cause I haven't seen a lot of them, maybe I just watch the wrong channels...

Another one that was just on: the Pepcid Ac commercial with "Uncle Ernie" . Actually to think about it most heartburn commercials are annoying. I also hate the AOL commercials (both the one cafeteria one and the one with the cake). Oh another one! The Gateway computer commercials with the running people with the boxes.

hate the geiko, aflac, that idiot plastic faced king, really creepy!

And every freakin one of those lose weight commercials- the ones that say take this and do nothing and lose all the weight you want!! what a crock of crap! sorry but those just burn me up , they ought to be outlawed to lie like that to poor people who want to lose some weight.

How about those "online business" commercials ( I guess that is what you would call them) with all the people that say go they went to this web site and now make several thousand a month ("It wasn't a get rich quick scheme...but guess what! I did!"). My mom pointed out something about those commercials, every time you see one the website to go to changes .

Thats the other one that makes me want to blow up my tv!!


but in defense of some commercials- i do love the budwieser commercials with the clydesdales and the donkey. its just so cute! i also saw one with a dancing baby elephant in the rain on animal planet the other day. was adorable. some of them don't bother me if they can make me smile. but the most of them always are annoying.

I think it's kinda funny.....But I've never seen ANY commercial that prompted me to buy ANYTHING...EVER

If instead of spending millions on advertising they simply lowered their price (or gave out coupons)....I'd buy it...........
