Ok, so its summer me sitting in front of computer watching lotta Tv.
i'm so sick of commercials
tell me if you agree with the list of them i hate below:
-Guys rapping near a huge truck about something i can't understand (mountain dew)
-Crouch hidden tiger commercial about Mountain Dew, everything in CHINESE, with english subtitles (come on man, we're in the US, not china!!)
-Various versions of the Chili's boneless buffalo wings commercials.
-Any of the Sprite commercials where they are speaking at a very fast rate, where i CAN'T understand a word they are saying.
-(in the morning) Via mailorder prescription drug seller
-Redbull, wings crap
-any pac bell commercial, esp one where commercial opens up w/ family, the wife singing gay song.
another would be pac bell making fun of speed variance of cable modem, saying how you have to get up at 1Am to use internet. (hellO!, i am not gonna let slow cable stop me from using what i paid for!)
-Wendy's not 100% white meat (WTF, who gives a FVK-
-Pepsi's which tastes better, that girl's voice is so annoying
- forgot to add taco bell's stupid damn annoying jingle, I'm just guy hungry one, fat guy running toward place, wanting small taco)

Pls add more to this list.

***
just got another idea, here is a poll:

If this commercial you saw is annoying like hell and you needed to buy this product, would it deter you from buying it just cuz the commercial was such an annoyance?
my answer, Just cuz of the mass advertising on Tv and how it sickened me, therefore i will not buy their crap (good/bad)

why can't i create a poll once thread has begun? ARGH

Geez, commercials are getting pretty annoying. I'm sick of that Pepsi commercial with Britney Spears in it. It's been around since, what, the Super Bowl?
And this Sears commercial about getting an air conditioning, is this its 4th year running? The coversation between this guy and his wife goes like this:
Wife: "I can't live another day without air conditioning."
Guy: "Tomorrow's gonna be hotter, like yesterday."
Wife: "Yesterday? Yesterday you said you call Sears."
Guy: *shrugs* "I'll call today."
Wife: "You call now."
Guy: "I'll call now"

Ok -

1. Those new Black Eyed Pea commercials. Would you eat "comfort food" ?

2. ANYTHING from Jack in the Box. Could we blow up Jack again? DAM I hate those commercials.

3. All those stupid perscription medicine commercials. Did you ever notice they cause you to have 'dry mouth' ?

4. Etc, etc, etc

Oh wait that's right televisions can do more than play dvd's. Umm I can receive umm channels on it right?
Hmm I think the last time we watched tv that wasn't a dvd or video tape was ummmmmmmmm geez umm well it was sometime this year.
I'd have to go to adcritic to know there was commercials. :p
Most annoying web ad though... X10...

Vitafree (the Viagra type stuff, I hate this one, not as much as below though)
Bleusant (sp) (Breast enlarger, and I HATE, HATE, HATE this commercial, with a passion)
The Pepsi ones

And those are really the ones that burn me up. Will add more as I think of them.

breaset enlarger and viagra, infomercial or what?
haven't seen commercials of these things, but infomercial, yes.
xoom xoom xoom is kinda starting to get annoying but not as much cuz i DON'T see it as often as the others listed above.
commercials on tv will never go away due to the fact that w/o 'em no channels to watch.
i kinda like jack in box, but yes it is lame (but better than the others in comparison)

This commercial is the worst. At the bottom of the screen in fine print says: &quot;This original work is not affiliated with any motion picture.&quot;

That's the biggest freaking load of BS I've ever seen.

There are two Chinese women in traditional garb fighting in a courtyard and flying around, slightly reminiscent of a *certain* motion picture. But somehow Mountain Dew claims originality to avoid paying royalties. Pathetic.

You mean like how Mary Poppins.... err Sherry Bobbins makes an appearance for a full episode on the Simpsons, without Disney getting the slightest credit (aside from a mention of &quot;Ricky Rouse&quot;)?

...or how Bart possesses &quot;the Shining&quot;.... err &quot;the Shinning&quot; on one Halloween episode that oddly resembled a movie of the same name? ;) :) :D

Ummm... ok. Just had to press reply twice as the IE window was going nowhere for a minute+ (just not acceptable on a fast connection :) ), but whaddyagunnado?

Of course, comparing a Mountain Dew commercial to any Simpsons episode is ludicrous, as the material in the latter is just as GOLD as its legacy. But I just had to make a mention of two of my most favorite half-hours of T.V. of all-time. :D

----->1800 Dentist<------ also, that Bloussant herbal breast ad is so repulsive (I hope no one falls for that, but it must be working the way they show it)

Yeah, I know... I've had nightmares where the ad keeps staying on for another year, and it keeps doing it ;)...


j/k =). It's been around longer than I can remember.... (please; I know that is very open to jokes :)).

Anyone get alot of those &quot;Corespondence School&quot; commericals, where &quot;in your free time, train to become a pro in data processing, word processing, blah blah...or get your degree in <whatever the heck the choices were...>&quot;

Of course, TBS at night likes to air that one annoying commerical for their showings of full house. Most silly.
