annoying commercials

[XURunner85]

I am sick of the one commercial that is played all day long lately...the one for UC that they sit there saying OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH UC...stupid, annoying makes me want to barf.....ok I am done, let it rip with your complaints...

Yes, I agree. I want to punch the kid eating the orange at the end of the commercial.

No brainer. Hands down: Subway 5 dollar footlong commercials. Every single one of them. The jingle is grating, and the singing and dancing construction workers are about as believable as the wizard of oz.

Incidentally, if it takes a commercial to proclaim "home of the famous $5 footlong" - then how is it famous?

And since $5 footlongs at Subway are a new concept, how could fame be achieved so quickly?

And good luck trying to find a $5 footlong that you actually order, unless you really like black forest ham.

Subway. Eat fresh for $6.

[gladdenguy]

I know Michigan. The only sandwich I used to get was the Italian BMT and that is not on the 5 dollar menu.
I have switched to Quiznos. The Meat Stack is worth every penny of 5 bucks.

[coasterville95]

I'm right there with you with the UC cheer commerical, just remember though you can always chant "YOU SUCK" at the end of it.

And the Subway one too, I really like the BMT but to get the $5 special, I have to downgrade to the Spicy Italian. (Which is anything but, unless you add jack cheese and peppers to it)

They make it sound like any footlong, then I got there and started to order: BMT, nope, Subway Club, nope....

[UCGRAD4X]

How much mileage has MOM [Modern Office Methods] gotten out of their commercial with the newbie getting surprised by the coppier maintenamce crew?

I know they are an XU supporter but that one has worn out.

[XU05and07]

$5 footlong is a fraud...none of the quality subs are on that list

My favorite commercials are the Snuggie and Cash-4-Gold commercials that run incessantly on ESPN.

The Snuggie, also known as the backwards robe.

My favorite commercials are the Snuggie and Cash-4-Gold commercials that run incessantly on ESPN.

When the family is sitting around the campfire and each is wearing them, I think they look like are Heaven's Gate members or they just left the sci-fi convention.

The Sham-wow commercials can be a bit much...that guy is trying to be Billy Mays and it just isn't working for me

Even better is the part of the Snuggie commercial where they suggest taking them to a ball game. So, you have 4 freaks in these weird robes sitting in the stands of the football game.

Nice.

[nuts4xu]

It does sound like a hell of a deal to buy the snuggie, get another free, and they throw in a free pop up book light--all for only $19.95. That is awesome!

I think the commercials are working because I might just order one for everyone on the Magic Bus to Pissburgh. That would be sweet.

[xudash]

The damn Verizon add where the douchebag is out in front of his overly decorated house, unplugging the lights, when his neighbor walks by and informs him that he can still buy a phone.

Then he smiles and plugs the lights back in. He looks like he molests Collies.

The Skin-it Commercials. They run those on ESPN All the time. But I bought one with a sweet xavier logo that I edited. It's sweet looking

[XU05and07]

Any of those commercials from the company that produces "head-on...apply directly to your head"

[Runningman]

"My computer used to be fast, really fast. Now it is only kind of fast."
"Hey! My computer is fast, finally! FinallyFast.com!"

I don't think I have ever been more angry in my life than every time that commercial comes on.
I fear for everyone around me when I see that douche struggling with his Gateway 2000.
It is wrong in so many ways.
I must stop now because I can feel my blood pressure rising to an unhealthy level.

[bourbonman]

While I Stephanie Courtney, her role as Flo on the Progressive Insurance ad irritates the heck out of me. It takes two hours of make up to make a disaster out of her. I love Stephanie :D, but I hate Flo :mad:.

[Cheesehead]

"I had no idea my gold was worth so money money." - but in a retired old Jewish (just a guess) lady's nasal monotone voice.

BTW: the newer Billy Mays commercial for ESPN 360 is really starting to bug the crap out of me. I want to punch him in the face.

He's the reason the mute button was put on a remote.

I saw one today for HD sunglasses. Are you kidding me? Please tell me the type of person that falls for that crap. HD? That's ridiculous.

[MuskieCinci]

How about every single Olive Garden commercial ever? Those commercials are as corny as anything could possibly be. My eyes start to bleed when an Olive Garden commercial is on.

We could all get out of the bus wearing snuggies and we would scare people. We would look great in the stands too.

It would be snugtacular.

[XU05and07]

The Domino's commercial about being 2 times better than the competition...the IQ200 guy just irritates me

[Smooth]

My favorite part of the Snuggie commercial is when the lady is all bundled up with a baby in her lap. No Snuggie or blanket for the baby. That mother will probably be serving baby-que this summer while crying and saying she's a good mother. Oops, wrong thread.

Go go go in my hover round...damn, those old folks are so happy on those things, but nothing p!sses me off more than having that little diddy stuck in my head after watching my daily dose of Steve Wilkos.

Speaking of Steve Wilkos, if you haven't watched him, DVR it. You have to like it though like you like any trash TV (Cops, Cheaters, VH1's Sunday lineup). Steve manages to make everyone's statements a crack on him or the Marines, then he proceeds to chuck the chair off the stage and spit on the guests' face with his halitosis-ridden saliva.

Go go go in my hover-round...

[pickledpigsfeet]

The Miracle Thaw works pretty well, although not as well as it did when I first got it years ago.

I have my own Snuggy by the way, its called a hooded sweatshirt, a pair of pants, socks, and a blanket and I don't look nearly as ridiculous ( I know its coming so I'll say it, "Don't sell yourself short pickled, you look tremendously ridiculous".), although I am very rarely cold enough to wear all of that, especially in my own house.

And the UC commercial is very annoying, especially the orange part at the end. Either the guy is a neanderthal that doesn't know how to eat the fruit and comes off looking functionally retarded, he has a scorching case of scurvy that requires copious amounts of vitamin C right away, or both.

Also with the UC commercial, I think its funny that they don't include any basketball shots in there while trying to show campus and classroom settings. Has basketball really fallen that far off of the UC map for their students and fans? When Toothy McOrangepealer gets more time in an ad than the basketball team, something is wrong with the program.

The Nextel commercials with the guy Chad looking some much more smooth than the stupid other guys dumb enough to work for the other phone companies. Chad looks like someone I would like to knock unconcious

I still have no friggin idea what product those commercials are selling. My guess is Nike, but I actually googled "G" after a few of them because I wondered what in the hell they were all about.

Good news Nuts... I went to Walgreens yesterday and you can now purchase Snuggies there so hurry up and get em while they're hot.

[coasterville95]

Can I nominate a radio commercial?

During our games, there is a commerial that is some sort of PSA for heart arythmia or something, to make its point the commerical sounds like its cutting in or out. That one always annoys me.


Yeah, about that "G" commerical, I hope they tie that one to a product, and soon. Its just too out there.

[Stonebreaker]

Every commerical during the NC game. They must have gotten 3 sponsors and looped the commercials. I could seriously hurt whoever set that up.

The Tax Masters commercial where the most enormous man ever (at least he appears to be on TV) talks in a monotone voice. There wasn't anyone else in the company or in a talent agency available to do that? I wasn't aware that I could go from wide awake to sounds asleep in 30 seconds.

[AdamtheFlyer]

I will not stand for the slanderous comments about the Snuggie. The Snuggie has done nothing to deserve your lies!

But seriously...first person I ever see wearing a Snuggie is getting a swirly. No exceptions.

[Stonebreaker]

I have no idea what a swirly is.....but I won't be caught dead with a snuggie. 5 bucks says Mo Egger uses his wife's snuggie before spring.

[Jumpy]

Registered at Bed, Bath n Beyond for wedding gifts yesterday (yeah, we had enough time) and I was in control of the scanner. Well, if you consider being told to point and shoot the damn thing at various bar codes "in control" then, yeah, I was in control. I was lagging behind the wife to be in the store when I came across the "as seen on tv" section. I put both the Shamwow and a Snuggie on the registry just to see if someone would buy them. Results will be posted May 3rd when we open the gifts.

[jdm2000]

I'm going to nominate the new John Morrell "off the bone" meat commercials I saw for the first time during the game today. It's about 20 years too late to jump on the Crocodile Dundee bandwagon, or 5 years too late to jump on the Crocodile Hunter bandwagon. Other than that, they're great.

The Cialis ads.. "It can happen anytime.."

Finally, what's with the tubs , old footed-tubs no less with no signs of water except the seaside they're sitting in...And as Chris Rock says, If I have an erection that lasts four hours, I'm gonna find someone besides a doctor." Just kidding on the last one.

The pharmaceutical ads crack me up. In a 60 second ad, you have 15 seconds of benefit followed by 45 seconds of disclaimers and the threat of appendages falling off.

Got that right, Dash. Even better is when they say that "other side effects reported include heart attack and stroke- some of which have been fatal."

Uh, I might just keep the affliction and forget the "cure".

[Kahns Krazy]

I can't remember which comedian did the bit about the medical disclaimers. His example was the asthma medicine that had "shortness of breath" among its side effects.

[xnatic03]

what about the stupid JG Wentworth commercials with random people shouting "IT'S MY MONEY AND I WANT IT NOW!"

[Muskie1000]

personally I'm sick of all the commercials for the new and latest drug. What about Latist (or however you spell it) - seriously do we need a drug for longer, more thicker eyelashes? Is this really a major medical problem that can only be fixed with more drugs? Any of these new drugs sound great until they start with the disclaimer at the end in which you can get multiple afflictions that in many cases sounds worse than the actual problem to begin with.

[nuts4xu]

Any and all Geico commercial needs to go away.

They are having the opposite effect on me. I will never buy insurance from Geico because their commercials are too annoying.

Those are so stupid and low-rent they are kind of funny.

My top 3:
1-Progressive. I've had it with that plucky chick and the faux excitement people get when finding low insurance rates in a box on the shelf.
2-Yaz. The one with the synchronized swimmers. The music is annoying and the commercial in general is insulting.
3-Other female oriented drug commercials. As if we women sit around discussing the benefits of the latest drug we saw on a commercial then rattle off the legal disclaimer to our friends like it's helpful info we just happen to keep in the front of our minds. Insulting.

I'd rather have 24 hours of the geiko gecko than have to see any of the above ever again.

Anybody ever research those "lower insurance rates and those hundreds of dollars savings" by finding out if they give the savings by reducing the coverage or raising the deductible or being slo-pay or no pay on claims? Just wondering how they do it without somebody being screwed,
Also, agree on those Yaz commercials and the law firms that advertise the claims against Yaz. I can't believe women sit arond and discuss that stuff BUT, ...Oh, never mind. Guys are just as ridiculous and why is it always the women who appear to have sole responsibility for the birth control? Just wondering. I know women will have to deal with the unplanned pregnancy, but damn. .

The geico website has the ringtones from the one commercial. My current ringtone is Ring-a-ding-ding-ding-di-ooooo. It's so annoying it's funny.

I'm not exactly sure what your statement means, but I think you were going for "Like the geico ringtone, I am so annoying that I am funny." If that is the case, you come up a little short on the second part.

I detest Steve Perin's commercial for Coordinated Financial Planning on 55KRC radio. The guy tries to say too much in too short a period of time, while berating sales people and other planners who are on commission vs. being fee-based.

Personally, I am a commission-based employee benefits broker and I have always, always done right by my clients, regardless of how I get compensated. Without exception, I always put trust and competence ahead of remuneration.

Perin is genuinely dishonest with his comments that fee-based brokers are more reputable and trustworthy than commission-based brokers. Sick of it and sick of him.

[Kahns Krazy]

There's an ad out for some sort of drug or eye drop for people with chronic dry eyes. They actually say in the ad that "the most common side effect is a burning sensation in the eyes".

The other one that bugs me is the chick in the roofing or windows company - a local ad - that says "We'll save you a loooooooot of money!".
