i actually think this commericial is so annoying that it's funny. that, and my mom calls and leaves me voicemails of her saying "you know, cause i'm a pothole?" and it seriously DOES remind me of britney. (which is probably why it's so annoying)

Wow...I didn't read a single post in this thread, but this was the one that immediately came to mind. Brutal.

The Best Buy christmas carol commercial is up there with the "Saved by Zero" commercial earlier this year in suckitude.

That commercial just makes me want to shop at Circuit City instead. Oh wait...

I came in here specifically to complain about the Best Buy commercials. :lol: So, yeah, I agree. :thumb:

The only holiday commercial that annoys me more at the moment is the Walmart one with the bad song/carol about not wanting to chase sales and instead being home reading stories by the tree. It makes me feel rage.

the best buy commercial and the stupid gap commercials are killing me. both involve people shouting at me to shop at their stores. i think i might seriously boycott cap exclusively because of these commercials.

Has anyone seen the recent Folgers (or maybe it's Maxwell House) commercials that are so overly corny it's ridiculous?

I love that commercial. The girl has such a cool voice. If she had an audio CD, I'd probably buy it.

On the AT&T commercials - AT&T chose the wrong celebrity to star in those. Luke Wilson (Owen, too, for that matter) is so lethargic and boring, he literally puts me to sleep when I watch him. Could he talk any slower? Why does he always look like he was in pain? He acts like that, too. I would not buy a phone from him, no way, no how.

BAD NEWS PEOPLE

I noticed a Toyota ad on the internet today. What makes that bad news? Well, it was for a 0% financing offer.

And we all remember what happened last time toyota had a 0% financing offer

This is awful. How on Earth is this supposed to convey the spirit of the holidays? All it does is remind me that we are in tough economic times, that Americans too often overspend for their means, and that it can cause marital problems.

Those beer commercials (Miller Lite?) where the person really loves the beer. In aprticular the one where the guy can't say "love" except for when the waitress mentions the beer. RAGE.

I'm torn on this one. I can't stand the guy because he's over the top, but at the same time he's so annoying that it's kinda funny.

Then I remember that he was pitching Bud Light, so I went back to not being able to stand him.

I don't recall any commercials that piss me off right now, but the one I do like is with the guy and girl (in red top and jeans) sitting somewhere... what is he drinking? I don't remember... then she asks him if they were hanging over a cliff and he could only rescue one person, would it be her, his mom, his ugly dog, or the whatever he's drinking. That's a funny one. Cute girl.

All the Verizon & AT&T commercials... they are nothing but political smear campaigns.
