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

This is great

if you don't live in a cave, you're not a caveman, so shut the fuck up!

It's like saying anyone sick of the Burger King commercials yet!

It's impossible to get sick of those.

Has anyone else seen the ad for yet another 'digestive aide' where this lady is supposedly trying to stop people on the street saying she wants to 'discuss your colon'. Are the writers of these things trying to be amusing? Do they think they are telling us something new? Maybe they fell into that myth, that an ad that was bad enough to get you to talk about it, was still a good ad. The problem is that half the time you don't even know what the product is, you hit the mute before you even get to that point. There is also no end to the amount of times I have heard people say (and have said myself) that they will absolutely avoid a product if the ad pisses them off enough. These things cannot be increasing sales or positively promoting their product. So why do they continue to shovel out such lousy crap for so called advertising? Sometimes I think marketing companies must have some mutant race of socially inept, culturally uneducated, clueless writers that somehow miss the reaction that everyone else has when they hear the annoying garbage. Instead they must slither out from under desks kept locked away in basements, rub their appendages together and drool in anticipation of the next 60 second slice of torture they are serving up for us !!

those new Scion commercials have pissed me off ever since they first started playing. and where the fuck are they holding their little get together? Jack Palance's secret construction site hideout from Tango & Cash? i keep waiting for the latest giant monstrosity from Caterpillar to rampage through there like that fat fuck from LOST at a buffet.

The dual action cleanse guy kind of weirds me out too, why is he so interested in my bowel movements?

CONFUSED.COM If I see that advert again I swear I will explode. In fact, every ad for price comparison websites really irritate me.

Also:

Lombard Direct (die talking phone!)
InjuryLawyers4U (That guy from Eastenders must really need the work!)
Admiral (shut up parrot!)
Churchill (that stupid bulldog with the Yorkshire accent *die die die*)
Elephant.co.uk
Ocean Finance
First Plus....

*hits mute immediately*

Oh and I really hate that Mentos advert that's doing the rounds right now...

Can you load clips of some more of these? I don't think any of these ads run on US broadcasts. I've often wondered if TV ads are as bad elsewhere in the world as they are in the US. I wonder which country would have the worst ads overall and who would have the best?

That guy is an absolute creep! I've fallen asleep with the TV on and then woken up to that desiccated freak doing his 'Captain Colon-Blow' routine - Complete with clips of what they claim is bowel contents. It gave me nightmares for the rest of the night! He is, no doubt, twisted with his all consuming shit fetish!! Disgusting!!

here's one:
.

The ones for BP Gas Stations where they have these happy little cartoons and they say they are making the world "just a little better." Ya know, by ass raping the world on oil.
