The Pepto Bismol commercials. I can not believe that crap is still on the air.

"Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea! Yay, Pepto Bismol!"

All of them.
This is why I do not listen to the radio. To listen to 10 minutes of commercials and then hear 1 or 2 songs followed by 10 more minutes of advertising is intolerable.

To say these stations have some kind of 'format' is laughable.

There is no difference.

They are all the same format: 24/7 advertising. They just use different forms of music to dilute the advertising....

But then, the music is advertising. It's sole purpose in being played on the radio is to sell more records.

FUCK RADIO.

Radio sucks fucking ass and has for decades.

Those Geico commercials are really starting to get under my skin as well. They were alright at first, and had some clever ideas for their ads, but lately they have gotten really lame, like the advertising agency has run out of decent ideas. The "I saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico" ad campaign has long since run it's course.

Think about XM. All the music channels are commerical free. And on the talk radio channels, they still have all the breaks, because many of the shows also air over AM/FM markets, but they usually substitute their own content for the commercials. Tech updates, trivial news things and the like. Some are even kind of interesting, although you often here the same one several times a week if you listen regularly. But it does beat commercials :)

Because they fucking caused nightmares!

But if you check Main, apparently Quiznos is selling a Sammy Hagar Cabo Wabo sub now, so you might want to avoid them anyway.

But then Subway is sponsoring REICHSTOCK 2005 on Sunday, so I guess I'm gonna stop eating fucking subs altogether.

I also hate those "It's all about the O" overstock.com commercials...I can't stand the bitch in those ads, she just fucking annoys the shit out of me for some reason.

I keep trying to force-choke her and get depressed when I realize it's just a recording.

Those E-Harmony.com commercials are really starting to annoy the shit out of me now. Seems most ad agencies now try to create the most annoying, irritating commercials possible, because most of the ones currently on tv are that way.

Had to dig up this old thread since there are a fresh new batch of irritating ad campaigns on tv right now, namely the new Geico ads with the stupid stack of cash with eyeballs and that shitty 80's song as background music. God I hate these new ads!

Geico needs to stick with the gecko. All their other ads (cavemen/money with eyeballs/etc) pretty much suck.

They did dump the Glenn BecKKK show though (along with most of his other sponsors) so I can't be too mad at them right now.

I thought she was kinda hot at first, so I tolerated those stupid commercials and her goofiness, but since then they have gotten progressively more stupid and she's gotten progressively more annoying to the point that I can't hardly stand her anymore! Although, I would still grudge fuck her! :biggrin:

You have to wonder, if their insurance is as cheap as they say it is, then how is it that they are able to run these commercials on tv almost non-stop, 24-7? Those advertising dollars have to be coming from somewhere?

Dunno if you get them in the US, but out here, the most annoying/stupid/annoyingly stupid commercial are for women's that-time-of-the-month parafernalia.

Here's an example... believe ot or not, it's NOT the worst. Not even close.

I also hate the drug companies peddling there shit on tv. If there is something wrong with me, I'll go to the doctor and determine what should be done. There are so many people that are easily influenced and start believing they need this or that to make them better when there is a more effective alternative without taking a magic pill that makes you dizzy, retarded, blind, deaf, and irrateable. Oh, and you can bet you'll have a sore throat.

Ugh.

The most annoying thing about the duck is that they hired Gilbert Gottfried to do the voice. Why would you hire the most annoying voice on the goddamn planet to do voice work? (OK, that's a little subjective.... Sammy Hagar and Fran Drescher are also strong contenders, but he's definitely in the top 3)

Though in the latest one where the duck is singing the lullaby it actually sounds more like Peter Griffin from Family Guy, so maybe they told Gilbert to quack off?

Nascar has Hagar advertising the next race at Fontana in So Cal... it's more irritating than the Aflac duck shit.

At first I thought Castrol Edge commercials with a crazy Scotsman who reminds me of Sesh... goes around smacking people with a dipstick yelling "That's thinkin with your dipstick, Jimmie" was funny... it's irritating now.

It's a pretty retarded commercial, especially since the product is just a cheapened, second rate offering compared to what "Edge" is in Europe/Asia...
