That Del Taco guy and their whole ad campaign around him just annoys the h3ll out of me. Just for that I avoid that place like the plague. Around here there are plenty of authentic mexican food that's 10X better.

Another are those from ITT Tech about how they got training in this field and now they're working in this bogus position which they twisted the words around to sound all sophisticated and important. A DSL installer becomes Broadband Support Specialist.

Although I must admit the one where the Easter Bunny and Santa confront the guy eating nuts is kinda funny

Recently I've been hearing commercials on the radio for IC (Intersticial Cystitis or some BS like that). So damn annoying.

Wendy's > *.fastfoodburgerjoint

It'd take more than one annoying commercial for me to forsake them. Besides, it pales in comparison to the torture McDonald's has put us all through with their advertising campaign.

"Bah bah bup bah! We rap about hamburgers!"

Coke - Their attempts to market to the super-hip "urban youth" are beyond annoying

McDonald's - PingSpike said it

Hmm...

Christians Children's Fund - I hate guilt trip ads
*.local ad - Always *really* cheesy and stupid
I don't know if you guys have them around you or if they are local but Attorney Peter Francis Geraci is about ready to get a K-Bar through the back of his neck if I have to watch many more of his ads.

Stupid Kia commercial this morning on the radio. Starts out with 2 women comparing their civic vs kia something. So of course the kia has more airbags, better horsepower and warranty. . . blah blah blah.

Then the civic owner blurts out, "well, i've had more work done than you!"

Now why would someone who had massive amounts of plastic surgery be driving a civic? Wouldn't she be driving a benz or something comparable if she can afford all those operations?

Their advertising company does NOT get what the potential appeal of their site is. It's almost a model for how NOT to advertise.

"Are you overweight? Do you need to lose more then 20 pounds? If so, then you need bla bla bla. Bla bla bla has been proven to help people who need to lose a lot of weight"

The ITT Tech and DeVry commercials are also a laugh. Some dude trying to sound sophisticated. "After I got my associates degree from bla bla bla, I've made my family very happy and I have a great career" Shows the guy in a suit and tie, walking out of a nice home in his nice car, waving goodbye to his hot looking wife".

Kaboom.

No matter how quiet the tv is, that jackass comes on yelling at the top of his lungs and blasting me out of chair or bed. It's the most obnoxious commercial I have ever had the displeasure of being assaulted by.

If I am watching a channel, and that commercial comes on, that channel is immediately banned from my favorites (please NFL Channel don't ever run Kaboom commercials).
