OMG, what is that about? I am always stunned when food products have creepy/gross ads but this one has very creepy sexual connotations. EW EW EW!

There is a local car dealer, called Trck Town and their mascot is a cute lil daschund, I love it. He goes through a car lot filled with trucks and he is such a lil pup. So cute. I don't mind Dr Z but am appalled at the VW ads where they crash. The first time I see a new ne I don't expect the crash. The Jack in Box ads mostly entertain me.

Commercials I Loathe: 1) The Burger King guy. 2) Commercials that use louder sound volume to get your attention, blasting you out your living room. Current major offenders are: a- Proactiv Skin Care featuring Jessica Simpson. b- Progressive Insurance c- Playfone downloadable ringtones and games featuring three teens with lousy acting skills. d- Girls Gone Wild 3) Truth: Waddafuxup - Anti-tabacco company commercials. Too preachy, even for a nonsmoker.
Originally Posted By BlazesOfFire I also love the identity theft commercials, especially the one with the two older ladies with the redneck man voices "Shoot!" "Yea, Shoot." There is this one commercialthat comes on, and i dont even know what its for but it plays some high pitched chime-like music? It has a white background with some animation, usually on a kids channel. I dont know what its for but the music annoys me so much!!!!

Originally Posted By MissCandice What is wrong with me? I like the Quiznos ad when the lady says what she says about more meat. I giggle every time. That insanely grinning fellow from the ED ads seriously creeps me out though, but I can't remember the name of the product.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I don't watch too much TV, but there are several from about a year ago that I really dislike. There was a local used car dealership that ran commercials for it's 12:30 at night infomercial on Sunday nights all week, featuring a really annoying song that basically just said "Everybody rides" over and over. On the screen were various people (who I would guess worked there and their children) dressed in cheap Halloween costumes like Elvis and Uncle Sam, with dumb titles under them. The fact that the whole thing took place in the parking lot made it just that much more obnoxious. "I'm thiiiiiinking of a number between 450 and 850. Do you know what it is? It's my credit score, and mine happens to be 720." Who cares?! The freecreditreport.com announcer at the end mumbles the words together, and makes it hardly understandable, plus there is the jingle that sounds like it's for a Betsy-Wetsy type doll. The sqeuel to the Head On commercials with the lady who comes out and says "I hate your commericals, but I lover your product." It still doesn't tell me what it does, and she looks like she hasn't slept or changed clothes in weeks. Maybe if she wasn't so creepy looking it would work better, but I doubt it. The Carls Jr ads where they throw the food on the ground. I was eating with some friends, who ended up with a massive order of cheese fries, and we said it would be like something in one of the Carls Jr ads, just plopping it on the ground and saying doesn't that look tasty. The medicine ones with people talking to their friends describing the side effects and what they did just make me want to gag. They sound way too contrived ("And Susie, make sure to tell your doctor if you're taking any other drugs or medications. Don't worry the side effects only include nausea, explosive diarrehea, projectile vomiting, and spontaneous combustion...) and are nothing like a real conversation. They seem even more forced than ads where they just have an announcer talking as fast as he can. There are also some great commercials that I've seen through the years. The Target ones are ususally pretty fun, and do a good job showing that they have everything, all without using words. The old iPod signs with the neon background, white iPod and black sillouette were cool, but the new splatter paint ones don't work too well for me. I think the ones with the people who look like the food are hillarious, even if some of them are a real stretch. I never actually saw one as an ad, but on the greatest ads ever shows, I always like the "I'd Like to Give the World a Coke" commericals. There's something about them that are simple, yet they just work.

Bob got a BIG boost on life! BTW...if any of you watched last years WDW Travel DVD with the four terminally perky people you might remember the guy that was always checking out the benches. In one of those bench sequences the same background music that is used for "Bob" was also in that section. I found it amusing. He must have been living life Large!
