I think that commercial is hysterical. At least it was the first few times.

That's bugging me now, can't remember which company that is for. I can remembe the "motto" is "In step with nature".

Nope, probably a poor teenager that needed some pocket cash, or an escapee from a mid-life crisis camp.

After I see a commercial a couple times I start trying to pick stuff out of the background, that and I have a really good memory.

Another annoying one the Avis commercials...uhg!

The HP commercials don't bother me, kind of trippy with the picture frame and then its suddenly a picture.

Any/all screaming car commercials. I think Toyotas ads are the worst.

There are a few message boards I go to where people ask/answer questions regarding songs played in commercials. I have found a lot of good music from commercials.

The ones I really hate(& flip the finger to) are the ones where they say talk to your kids, ask your kids questions, know where your kids are at/doing, talk to them about drugs/smoking and they want do them, etc.

We had 4 that would climb a 40 ft. pine tree to tell us a lie instead of standing on the ground and tell the truth. Talked to them about drugs & smoking and 3 out of 4 smoke(4th quit about 6 months ago) and 2 of 4 did drugs.

And the Pepto Bismo ones really make me want to

The Quizno one kinda grew on me... It does still sorta creep me out a bit though ... I really like the Six Flags one's though, it does make my feet start to tap ... And the Burger King guy, is just way tooo creepy for me tooo!!! ... I usually use the commercial time for a Lounge check and or a potty break ...

The herpes medication commercial. Wont cure herpes and it can be spread to others they say, duh, then they show her and her boyfriend lollygagging in the surf. Her butt in the air as he swings her around. Gezeerds.
And now there is a commercial with an old couple talking about her diareah (SP?)
Any feminine hygine commercials, how dumb.
And erectile disfunction with the two morons and there wives at the party holding up little weenies on sticks.
Stupid smiles on the mans faces.
The men are ugly and the wives are worse.
Actors in commercials advertising cars.
BURGER KING GUY, talking about strange. Almosts perverted look on his face.
I have more but you get the idea,

I love those commercials!

Im getting sick of the COLGATE TOTAL commercials. Everytime one comes on I say:

"Shut the heck up and let the dentist do his bloody job! I hope the drill slips you *****!"

The dollop of daisy commercials. Daisy sour cream.

I dont know, or want to know what a dollop is, nor do i want to hear someone sing about it. The song irritates me so much I feel like stabbing someone. Of course, I usually attempt to change the channel before it gets to that point.

How about the up side? Some of the Steve Young commercials I found funny - like the one where he's talking with the elderly woman (hasn't heard of him, doesn't watch football ...) She asks what he does for a living and he says "Retired" -- suddenly she's interested. '')


I agree, most car commercials are pretty tough to sit through, but one I liked - I think it debuted during the superbowl ... anyway -- it's a windswept desert with twisted cars and car fragments crashing out of the sky --- turns out it's the engineer tossing crumpled rejected drawings in the garbage. Sorta clever.

As for the Bob commercials; the keyboard player in our band is named Bob. Can't help whistling the tune from time to time. ''
