TV ads that make you hit the mute, are gross, you just hate...

There are sooo many!! But right now there's a med ad that talks about the risk of having a risk of risking....you get the picture. Don't remember the med name but they are yammering about PAD? and couldn't cram the word 'risk' in there again if they tried.

Also anything with with the idiot we used to refer to as 'The Oxy Moron' (in ads for Oxy-Clean, a detergent, I think) He is in a bunch now, mostly for useless crap. I don't know why since it seems to be a given that know one will ever hear the ad, as everyone I know scrambles for the mute button as soon as they hear him start to yell.

As for gross, this is meant to be cute I think, but those damn little cartoon bears that sit behind trees and take a shit (a 'what do bears do in the woods' reference I suppose - gee how precious ) then go dancing around in praisie of the advertisers TP and demonstrating how the wrong brand can stick to your ass!! Maybe it's me, but I find the whole series just off! (there are far worse i know...)

Any others? Some might love the very thing another hates, but this is just to express your own veiw. " De gustibus non disputandum est" as they say!!!! (You cannot dispute someone elses taste)

any of those commercials that show toe fungus.

The Britta "drink responsibly" commercial. The pouring water at the end sounds like somebody pissing.

God yes!!! That little THING that yanks up the toenail, and crawls in, to start scratching around?!?! Eeuhh!!! Shudder!!!

That ClearBlue pregnancy test. The most sophisticated technology...that you will ever pee on.

Note the skin shavings (!!!) being dumped out in the upper right-hand corner.



Also, the ASPCA commercial with Sarah McLachlan chokes me up every time. Since they show it nonfuckingstop, I've resorted to changing the channel until it's over. A bold move, I know.

Fuck that Geico lizard motherfucker, I've had enough of his ass!

I agree with this one and its grossness. I also love how it tells you you'll never go for a pedicure again.....like this thing is a replacement for spa bubbles, massage and those gorgeous Vietnamese ladies.

Why does he have a British accent? And the upset caveman commercials are a lot funnier. I like the one where the girl takes off her top.

A plane flies overhead advertising Geico he sees it and says I'll be in the car. and storms off.

Still makes me laugh really hard at my tv.

I was also kind of "eww" over this one.

Back-to-back commercials for vagisil and tampons. Frickin gross!

In NYC, they play the commercials with the guy that has a voice box from smoking and shows all the things that he could do. Also another anti-smoking ad about icky lungs and amputating a guys foot because of smoking.

Truckloads of disgust for this one too!! Especially since someone showed me a clip (I'm sure it's on You Tube somewhere) of a take-off from this ad; people are eating salad or pasta or something, the waiter asks if they would like parmesan.... I shall say no more!

Almost any of the "woody-in-a-bottle" ads; but especially that one which apparently has the side effect of making you want to drag seperate (seperate, mind you) matching claw-footed tubs out into the wilderness and bathe. What the hell is that about?!?!

On the nose.

That goddamn deodorant commercial where shes like "You now have 5 reasons to raise your arms!" and she goes around being a fuck-wad moron. It's just damn annoying how stupid she's being, I always rush to find the remote to change the channel or hit mute when it comes on.

Also, all those commercials about medications and possibly side effects and "If you or a family member has suffered from..." just to sue the pharmaceutical company. Those make me feel a bit sick even, because there constantly on and to me it just reminds me of how sue-happy people are.

pretty much any ad put out by McDonald's. i mean, i don't dislike McD's any more than i hate any other fast food restaurant. but their ads never fail to fill me with rage, for some reason. i don't even know how to put into words why i hate their ads so much. something about how false they seem, i think.

I hate
any J. G. Wentworth commercial.

And now I have that bloody quote in my head! "It's your money, use it when you need it!"

Haven't heard the opera one, thank heavens. I think I'd curl into a ball and weep.

I'm so glad I don't have time to watch TV sometimes.

Sarah you are SO right on the 'armpit' commercial!! I want to see one where the cabby just steps on the gas at the end of the ad!! There, dammit, de-oderize that!!

And on the Wentworth ones, I'm not sure if they're local there or not, Morgan, I haven't seen it yet, but if it's anything like the ones I completely loathe, that keep playing in SF, where all these people keep screaming the slogan out of windows and crap, --I can only imagine the horror!!

Reminds me of that King Of Queens episode.
