most annoying commercial on tv currently (1 Viewer)

Daywalker said:
Foxnews opten plays commercials for a company called "Head-On." You can't tell from the commercial what the product is used for. More amazing then annoying.

No, they explicitly state what the product does - it applies directly to the forehead.Frankly, anyone purchasing Head On or its related products should have their right to vote permanently revoked.
 
The Vonage commercials with this chick in it..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uij0lW2Apt0

There is something about her that simply makes me want to kill something!

Oh...and any of those Carl's Jr. commercials where someone is stuffing their face making grunting noises with the words echoing..."don't bother me...I'm eating"

 
877-CASHNOW!

Opera style...

This commercial should fall under the "most likely to get your ### fired if you think this is a good marketing idea" category.

 
"I think you should be able to share lemonade with the whole family"

You're still a ding dong!

Those commercials are a ding dong.

 
The 2 guys eating KFC. "Every year my Nana sends me a check for $5" "You can eat the cookie the first if you want." I feel like it is a horrible riff on the 2 Sonic guys. Those turds don't have a single quark of funny between them.

The worst is: "Ok,you got me. We use fillers in our new spicy pulled pork. It's called more pork." Whoa what a BMF. He delivers that line like he's Papa John McClane.

Yeah I'm with you on this. I have wanted to do things to her ever since she jumped on board the Wendys team.

Yeah, right. Like that made the Progressive ads any less annoying.

Flo has allowed me to tolerate the Progressive ads over the years. Sadly, Flo is beginning to age and the allure is quickly fading.

 
I wonder if Wendy's has the same ad team as Progressive or if they are just flat out stealing the Flo formula.

I would like to bludgeon Flo to death with a hockey stick. I've felt this way pretty much since the first commercial.The Geico pig is gaining on her though.

I'd watch her all day over any of the Rhetorical Questions GEICO ads. That is the most unfunny thing I've ever seen on television.

A random college student could come up with all of these in about 30 minutes

  • Is Ed "Too Tall" Jones too tall? (Cuts to Jones in a doctor's office being measured for his height, even though he is too tall for the maximum length of the measure. The nurse then says, "I'm just gonna guesstimate.")[18]
  • Does Charlie Daniels play a mean fiddle? (Cuts to Daniels energetically playing a fiddle in a classy restaurant after taking it from a violinist. Once he finishes, he hands it back and states "That's how you do it, son".)[19]
  • Does Elmer Fudd have trouble with the letter "R"? (Cuts to Elmer hunting and telling the audience to be "vewy quiet" while he's "hunting wabbits", the director correcting his rhotacism to the former's frustration, and eventually stalking off the screen while muttering about how "this diwector is starting to wub me the wong way".)
  • Did The Waltons take way too long to say good night? (Cuts to the Walton family saying "good night" to each other numerous times.[20][21])
  • Does a ten pound bag of flour make a really big biscuit? (Cuts to a child buttering an enormous biscuit on the kitchen counter humming as his mom walks in with a dismayed look upon her face.)[22]
  • Did the caveman invent fire? (Cuts to the GEICO caveman sitting in a living room on a couch with a female companion. He looks disdainfully at the camera, then activates the fireplace by remote control before scowling at the camera once more.)[23]
  • Was Abe Lincoln honest? (Cuts to an old-style black and white film of Mary Todd Lincoln asking "Does this dress make my backside look big?" After a lengthy pause and deliberation, Lincoln sheepishly responds, saying "Perhaps a...", interrupted as she gets up and walks out perturbed.)
  • Is having a snowball fight with pitching great Randy Johnson a bad idea? (Cuts to Johnson helping a man to his feet, the latter with a hole in the arm of his jacket, in a snowy street. After lamenting the heavily damaged garage door behind them, they agree to go sledding instead.)
  • Is a bird in the hand worth two in the bush? (Cuts to an Antiques Roadshow appraiser examining a small statue of a human hand holding a bird. He tells the statue's owner that it is indeed worth at least two in the bush.)
  • Can fútbol announcer Andrés Cantor make any sport exciting? (Cuts to Cantor loudly and energetically calling a slow-pacedchess match. When one player makes a move, he yells his trademark "¡GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!" much to the players' annoyance.)
  • Does a former drill sergeant make a terrible therapist? (Cuts to R. Lee Ermey talking to a man on a psychiatrist's couch, then abruptly yelling at him for crying and then throws a box of tissues at him, calling him a crybaby.)
  • Do woodchucks chuck wood? (Cuts to a jovial pair of woodchucks throwing chopped logs into a pond and being admonished by the farmer who chopped them.)
  • Did the little piggy cry 'wee wee wee' all the way home? (Cuts to a pig named Maxwell riding in the back seat of an Honda Pilotholding pinwheels, yelling "wee wee wee" out the window, before being dropped off at his house by his friend's exasperated mother.)[24](See section Maxwell the Pig)
  • Does it take two to tango? (Cuts to a man and woman dancing the tango while another man tries to dance with them.)
  • What, do you live under a rock? (Cuts to a man living underground who moves a rock so he can raise his head above ground to see outside, and then gets excited when he sees a GEICO billboard and invites his friend Rick to move his own rock and take a peek.)
  • Does the buck stop here? (The camera zooms out as a deer walks onto the soundstage and stops next to McGlone, who then shrugs his shoulders.)
  • Do dogs chase cats? (Cuts to a dog and cat engaged in a Bullitt-style car chase.)
  • Is the pen mightier than the sword? (Cuts to a ninja menacingly demonstrating his swordsmanship to his opponent, who countermaneuvers by using a pen to sign for the delivery of his new taser, with which he promptly defeats the ninja.)[25]
  • Would Foghorn Leghorn make a really bad book narrator? (Cuts to a recording studio where Foghorn is reading A Tale of Two Cities—his ad-libbing and talking over the director cause an exasperated Henery Hawk to get up from the control panel and whack him with a club.)[26]
  • Do people use smartphones to do dumb things? (Cuts to 3 office workers using very silly smartphone apps to help celebrate the end of the workweek.)[27

These are horrible.

That and their "Did you know that...." commercials. Horribly unfunny and not even unintentionally funny, just annoying.

 
The one with Demaryius Thomas and Cordarrelle Patterson.......I still don't know what in the hell Patterson said... I'm getting older and my hearing is not as good as it once was....but I can't quite pick up what he is saying.

 
The back to back commercials for the get online campaign drives me freakin' CRAZY. "Come closer" "Now you're in my face".

ANNOYING. At least coulda had a hot chick.

C'mon, some of them were funny the first time you saw them; but they get old real quick. The Pinocchio one was clever, as was the 'Words Really Can Hurt' one.

 
Once we get closer to campaign season, we will get inundated with annoying campaign commercials. Living in NoVA, we get commercials for VA, MD, and DC. 3X, and you can't vote in (or care about) 2/3 of them!!

On a separate, but related note, am I the only one who gets annoyed by the volunteers who knock at your door with info about their candidate? I usually say "can you read the sign? No Soliciting. And wish I could slam the door. Like Arnold.

Not a single one. Hump day is amusing but I wouldn't say funny. All the others are horrible. I haven't been caught by surprise by any of them. You know exactly what is going to happen.
