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.

  • Definitely the free credit report ones, and the swiffer ones. I also can't stand the "lollipop" Dell ones, and the one where the kid is describing to his class about the pizza hut pizza that goes to the edge and back.

  • 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 Ick!

  • 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!

  • Oh I thought of another one that I HATE! The new Baskin Robbins commercial about the ice cream cake. Oh my goodness it is stupid and SO ANNOYING. Almost as bad as those "head on" commercials that used to be on.

    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!

  • The Geico Cavman commercials I am sooo sick of they really overplay that one.
  • The Baskin Robbins ice cream cake commercial is the epitome of dumb and annoying.  It drives me insane!
  • I also can't stand the swiffer "baby come back" commericals. That being said, I love the free credit report commericals! Guess I'm kind of a loser....  :)
  • 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.

  • Sooooo sick of the Geico caveman commercials (that are playing the Nickelback song, I think it is?  There's a couple versions), as well as totally sick of the anti-Mac PC commercials where they have people shopping for computers and trashing Macs for various, false reasons.  Ick.
  • imageeastcoastimelda:

    OMG I'm not sure how I had forgotten about these...I can't stand them either.

  • I agree, I can't stand the Geico commercials.  They drive me crazy.

  • 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

  • I can't think of a particular one,but I hate all the ads for medicine. The ones that give you all the side effects quickly at the end....like constipation, difficulty breathing and oh yeah death.

    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...

  • I think the Schick Quattro for Women commercials are EDGY. Creative though. Hate the Yaz commercial. Zattarans Dirty Rice (not sure of spelling).
  • The Yaz commercial is more like a "we promoted this pill for one thing, but it was really for another" deal...and they are back-peddling.
  • Oh! I agree on the Cavemen commercials! They are so stupid! And I can't believe they tried to start a show!

  • 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?! Angry Would it really have been so hard to have the puppy saying something like, "... lookin' cute/good/nice/etc."? 

  • I JUST saw one for the first time that annoyed the crap out of me!  Its for Verizon Wireless and they turned the commerical into a spin off of the Young and the Restless.

    Oh brother...can't wait (insert sarcasm) to see that one.  This reminds me that I'm not a fan of their commercials either.  

  • The Verizon "Dead Zone" commercials... like nails on a chalkboard to me!!!
