POLL: Least Favorite TV Commercials
I think lately the tv commercials seem like they get dumber and dumber. What's your current least favorite tv commercials?
Re: POLL: Least Favorite TV Commercials
I always (no matter what) cannot stand the Free Credit Report ones. I think right now though the one I find really annoying is the Cable vs DirecTV one or those ones for the Swiffer where they are singing "Baby Come Back" or whatever that song is.
My boss told me that Planet Fitness has a really dumb one too but I haven't seen it yet.
I can't stand the "lollipop" Dell commercial either!
I also don't like the Pop Tarts commercial that shows that Pop Tarts can be a topping for ice cream...seriously? The Pop Tarts alone are 400 calories for the 2 in the pack!
I've never seen that commercial, but ew! I would never think of having Pop Tarts and ice cream together. Nevermind the calories, that just doesn't even sound good
Lol Its so sad that after reading this I now want some vanilla ice cream with broken up strawberry frosted poptart on top.
LOL Jen...its ok you have a good reason for your sudden craving! I could just go for some ice cream!
Agree! You can definitely have some poptarts on ice cream if thats what you want!
The ice cream cake one is my top one right now because it just came on. Also hate the swiffer...I usually mute the commercials so I tend to ignore them!
Any Geico commercial, especially the ones with the money with the googly eyes.
The PA lottery commercials with Gus, the 2nd most famous groundhog
Viagra commercials
Any commercial that gets played over and over during the same show...this happens a lot during sporting events.
... every single day of forever.
OMG I'm not sure how I had forgotten about these...I can't stand them either.
Now I'm starting to think of ones I hate from reading others . .
The anti-mac ones
Any erectile dysfunction medication commercial
The geico commercials with the stack of money with eyes
It drives me nuts--I want to shoot the person who came up with this "jingle"--no I wouldn't actually do it.
I actually like the free credit report commercials too. There's one that they don't play anymore that I always sing to myself because I like it so much. HA!
Actually, that sounds kinda good...but my biggest problem with the commerical is that it's marketed towards kids..."Mom" is serving them the ice cream with pop tarts sticking in it. Kids these days have a hard enough time staying at a healthy weight...let alone using pop tarts as a topping...or as the "sandwich" in an ice cream sandwich.
I found it on YouTube if anyone hasn't seen it...

Eek! I forgot about the GEICO money w/eyes commercials, too! Ridiculously irritating.
And for a really bizarre one, I can't stand the one for either tissue or toilet paper that features the puppy getting spa treatments, solely because the puppy says at one point (after getting his hair done, I think?), "...lookin' sexy!" GAAAAAHHHHH. Can I tell you how mad this makes me? It's a commercial with a TALKING PUPPY. KIDS ARE GOING TO BE DRAWN TO THIS. I can't begin to tell you how often I have to tell my students (kindergartners, mind you!) that the word "sexy" is not appropriate for them to be using, and now there's a commercial that is essentially a kid-magnet that has the character saying it?!
Would it really have been so hard to have the puppy saying something like, "... lookin' cute/good/nice/etc."?
... every single day of forever.
Oh brother...can't wait (insert sarcasm) to see that one. This reminds me that I'm not a fan of their commercials either.
