Commercials that you ABSOLUTELY HATE

What commercial do you ABSOLUTELY HATE?

I can think of two off hand

Travelocity's "Roaming Gnome".. I mean seriously what freaking marketing dept came up with this? To me, I think of a 40 year old comic book guy who still lives in his parents basement when I see that.

Extra's Bubble Gum guy. Talk about played out. I cannot stand this commercial. I think this is my most hated one. This guy hates it too.
 
Ditech or whatever its called. Commercials are horrible,

and I really hate the cheap as travelocity commercials

Blame the French, if you're so inclined. As near as I can tell, the gnome originated in a French movie called Amelie. CN: Meddling French girl steals her father's garden gnome and sends him around the world with a stewardess/friend to take pictures, then send them to meddler's father anonymously, to try to prod him into traveling himself.

Every time I see a new gnome commercial, I think I've seen a new low, but then another one comes out.

The one that surprised me the most was Levitra. I can't believe they chose that logo.

To which McDonald's commercial are you referring?

All of them. I barely even watch TV (it's been about a month) and the thought of those awful commercials incites me to violence. I want to know who the head of their ad agency is, beat him up, and bomb whatever high school and college declared him/her not to be retarded, much less gave him/her a diploma/degree.

I like the roaming gnome, go figure *shrug*
 
ALL Verizon commercials. I hate them all, even the ones with James Earl Jones!! And that 'can you hear me know?' guy makes me want to tear my eyes and ears out.

is that the commercial with the jackass with the big, goofy, fake grin all the time? if it is, then yes, add that to my list.
 
The worst McDonalds comercials were the ones for chicken selects, where the guy is sitting there striking kung-fu poses yelling "dont touch tha chiiii-ken." For some reason those comercials make me angry beyond all belief, one time it came on, and I ran outside and punched a wall, and I normally a really chill person.

My new favorite comercial is that anti drug comercial where there are like 2 ghetto black kids, a white kid with a curly afro, and some asian kid that is a-gender. One of the black kids yells in the most ghetto voice possible "YO Quincy, how bout you bring out that weed, man!." Cracks me up every time.
 
Ohhh I forgot all about the Matthew Lesko one, he's the murder-victim-in-waiting who wears that suit with the question marks on it and screams like a WWF wrestler to buy his book.

That's easy, just think about all ad campaigns you've seen and forgotten about about 2 seconds later.
 
The Fanta commercials piss me off. Sure the girls are hot, but every time I hear them sing that terrible song I want to rip their throats out.
 
Any kind of herbal supplement commercial. Especially those lame-ass Enzyte commercials with Bob the "big penis" guy gallavanting around with his (allegedly) big member. Ugh! Who buys that crap?!?
