What's your least favorite type of commercial?
I hate the ones that have something that has nothing to do with what their advertising, and then flashes the name of their product at the end.

Christmas commericals.
I hate them with a passion.
Drug commercials that never actually mention what the drug is for. They just show a bunch of old people or women just running around and having fun and then say "Ask your doctor if teemocil is right for you."
Those feminine type of commercials where a woman takes out a tampon and plugs up a sinking boat with it or something really weird. D:
I dont know about the ones i hate the most but those commercials that advertise shows that try to pull off that "Mysterious new show, we wont tell you what its about you'll just have to watch" crap. Just tell us what the show is about without revealing too much, how can you screw that up?
Also the ones that take some form of national folk song and use it to promote where theyre made or use some other traditional song (like a christmas carol or something) to show how they care or whatever. It's rather degrading

Way back when it used to be menthol cigs commercials, but now it's fast food commercials. They make me get out of bed and pick up food.
I HATE HATE HATE HATE commercials with old people. Those hoverounds that commercial with that old lady that did something with gold. Old people need to stay off the TV.
They're kind of funny. But I really don't like the ones like "DOES FEMININE ODOR DESTROY YOUR DAY? ITCHING VAGINAS MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE AN OGRE? STICK OUR PRODUCT UP INSIDE YOUR HOLE AND IT'LL MAKE YOU FEEL BEAUTIFUL!" while women are doing yoga and window shopping in NYC. D:
This thread title made me think of the chip eating scene in Death Note.
I recall a commercial over here for something that relieved Thrush. It came in two parts: a pill, and a cream to be applied directly. The woman popped the pill with a smile like an addict getting a hit, and then was seen bouncing around with her friend all happy like. I recall disappointment that the cream application was not shown.
So yeah I hate commercials that are all DRAMAHZOMG!1 and it's for a stapler.
"....the most sophisticated piece of technology you will ever pee on."
Ugh, I hate Yeast Infection commercials.
And as for the DRAMAZZZZ, it's only good if it's done for lulz, like this commercial:
I Feel Grrrrrrrrreat!
Best commercial ever. xD
They're all really annoying, the one that's freaking me out atm is the one saying "Get set for d-d-d-digital!" and the guy in it is SCARY. He's SCARY, okay? :(
I also hate the commercials that give you so much information you just want to rip out your own hair.
The new WoW adverts. Mr. T has been done to death, as has Shatner.
That advert was made of awesome and win! Though it prompted my friend to say: 'What if I came in drunk one night and took a p!ss on my plasma TV?'
I seriously can't stand the 'Holidays are coming' Coke advert. It should burn in hell, along with any radio commercial played on Lincs FM. :mad2: Especially the one were a male voice sings along (very badly) to the tune of 'Jingle Bells' about his Christmas shopping woes. This commercial first aired in SEPTEMBER, for the love of God! :mad:
They're all pretty much fake and irritating. I think that's what annoys me the most. The fakeness.
The ones about dangerous or drink driving. They have a good message, but they make me sad.
Anything with Barry Scott in it is basically the worst :skull::skull::skull::skull: known to man.
All of them but the one with the fat guy dancing to "Maniac".
Tampon commercials and stuff like that. Those bastards ruined that Twisted Sister song "We're not Gonna Take It." I could never listen to it the same way again.
Super Bowl commercials rule.
I've always disliked ones that have all these cool flashy special effects and seem like they're for some sweet sci-fi movie or video game or something, but turn out just to be for a car. I guess it's just the little kid in me wanting it to be something cooler. I remember one that had like this cybernetic jaguar running through a canyon or something chasing the car, which was probably the first time I identified how much I dislike those types.
All of them. I don't specify any particular group, I hate them all equally.
Anti-depressant commercials are soooo cheezy. Along with law frim commercials when the lawyers read off of cue cards. You can see their eyes DARTING. Stop, man!
I HATE... and I mean HATE Esurance commercials, they make me angry, I mean what does a chick cowgirl throwing a ninja star at a robot cowboy then hopping on a motercycle and riding into the sunset have to do with my car insurance! A pox on Esurance.
Now Jack in the Box commercials, those are entertaining.
Yes car credit! Say YES!
Currys, always cutting prices, SNIP SNIP!
Sheila's Wheels
But this advert is absolutely hilarious.
YouTube - Instant Kiwi commercial
I hate perfume adverts, not as pieces of art, but on principle. Advertising something to be smelt on television bugs me. Having a wo/man with a sultry european accent whisper the name of the perfume while there are a few shots of models and/or rose petals in slow motion tinted a colour that fits the perfume and/or gender of the target audience DOESN'T TELL YOU WHETHER IT'S A GOOD PERFUME OR NOT.
