Whoa...that was......odd.

So what about that Butterfinger where the guy shares his dentures with his wife? They didnt make out but I suppose it is close to that (I woulden't know I prefer to use my real teeth).

Oh yeah, I hate the Netzero commercials that prey on computer illiterate people. "Netzero Highspeed is much faster than regular dial-up!" News flash: You can't make 56k faster!! The image quality on websites is reduced in order for the pages to load faster... and it looks like crap. With Netzero Highspeed you're not even viewing the web the way it's meant to be viewed. Seriously those commercials are even worse than AOL's "No wonder we're #1!" ads. I have lost all respect for Netzero and their low prices when they started that ish. You might as well just tell your browser not to show images. Boom, you got "faster internet". I feel sorry for the victims of this scheme.

NetZero is cool when you hack it. Three years ago, I had to take «free» Net Zero really really (REALLY) low speed internet. But it's crap. Then, I removed the pop-ups, the bar, the ten hours limit and I felt better. Today I have a T1, then I don't care about this.

And I have to add a thing to my long list of ads that I hate:

I don't know how you say it, but in French, we say «Infopub». During half a hour, a guy and some big boobed preppy try to sell the thing that will change your life. In french, we even have access to really bad dubbed crap. I don't care about a GPS phosphorescent peel-potatoes for only $99,99. No, wait, it's only $89,99 if I buy it in the next thirty minutes. Super special, $79,99 in the next five minutes plus a guide to make some potatoes recipes

Who buys this kind of bulls***? I have a message for you: "It doesn't work!" It will break in about two hours of use. There must be a reason why they don't sell it in stores ...

If, at least, it would be humoristic...

Plain and simple. Commericals are evil. I hate most of them and I really just want to watch the show!

i love almost all commercials, they are generally better than the program i am watching. however there are those i don't like

i HATE the subway commercials with "jared" (or whoever it is)
i HATE the commercials (i believe this has been said by sum1 else but none the less) for some form of drug, and they don't even tell you what it's for
and i DISLIKE (not hate but dislike) most cell phone commercials

Edit

and i also DISLIKE the AOL (at least i think it's AOL, maybe it's MSN but) internet connection commercials, the only good thing about them it the ending where the kid always says "your OK terry" (that should clear up which it is i know i've seen i just forget what it's for

You know what's bothering me more and more nowadays? Commercials that advertise two products at once. Not talking about like, the Pepsi and hot dogs commercial (although that one is starting to get annoying,) but more along the lines of the "Focus and a Dell" commercial.

I hate any commercials that are played on a specific channel 65 times (Yes that has happened, a few times,with the second Pokemon movie, dang that was annoying!). I do not like commercial that have those STUPID( no offense) retards Mary-Kate and Ashley, I do not lke commercials that have to do with Hillary Duff, because she is a stupid dimwit that has no brain, can't sing, and she is just Annoying to me, again no offense anyone.

Aren't you all forgetting FEMININE HYGIENE PRODUCT commercials? Ugh!

[WHAT I THINK, Adlai Stevenson]

My favorite (and by favorite, I mean the one I wish would die a violent death) is the new Dodge line commercials that try as hard as they can to divide men and women into blatantly stupid stereotypes.

"I'm a man, so I like the new Dodge because it has a big ass engine. Big. Like I wish I was. HEMI!"
"I'm a woman, so all I know is that it feels smooth to ride in and it has a DVD player. Isn't that nice?"

And they argue, and America laughs, and I die a little more inside.

BTW, why are those in the grocery stores next to the dog food?

You all have to stop coming up with such good topics, so I can stop posting replies!

1.) I am as much a bigot of the English language as any red-blooded American, but thanks to commercials I have found a new word that just makes my skin crawl. "It's not like we just woke up one day and said 'Hey! Let's have squintruplets!!'"(sp?) Now that I think about it, I haven't a clue what the hell that commercial is even about, it's so stupid.

2.) Public service commercials in general. I will smoke to my grave just to spite those snot-nosed little punks pushing truth.com, and I don't really see how spouting off statistics on AIDS by race or age group really help the problem.

3.) Call me on the fence on the Dell commercials. Who among us can say we don't miss the ganja-induced antics of the Dell Dude just a little? I found the triple threat that replaced him rather dull, although I was quite partial to the Intern Chick on her looks and demeanor alone.

4.) Only Mitsubishi has successfully mastered the art of the car commercial, in my opinion. I don't even like the style of music they play in general, but they impart that futuristic weirdness to the whole experience that appeals to me. And again, the drop-dead gorgeous chicks in the cars don't hurt either

Of course, I hate a great many commercials, but I'll hold back. Most of the big ones have already been hit.

I'm generally a non-violent sort of guy, but I'd too like to give Billy Fucillo a "HUUUGGGE" punch in the stomach some time. One of the Metro buses in Buffalo has him painted on it even. Ugh.

LOL YES I HATE THOSE BUSSES! I litterally throw snow and other objects at them

Sins exist only for people who are on the Way or approaching the Way

Kia car commercials: Me don't like when car companies directly bash on other companies, especially when their trying to cover up the fact that their cars are CRAP.

Car commercials in general: I'm not gonna take my car out into the desert or the amazon. I'm not gonna drive it down a maze. I'm not gonna go from 0-65 in so-in-so seconds lest I get caught by law enforcement.

McDonald's: Let's abandon our friendly to everyone image and go with the hip, trendy, let me dance or sing like a fool commercials. Yeah. Let's do that.

Prescription anything: ...everything I want to say has already been said previously.

How-to-get-rich-quick commercials: Whether they be books/seminars or "cash flow" notes or blatant triangle schemes, I hate them all. Money don't grow on trees, buddy. And they don't grow from people's butts, either.

College degrees, Online universites, etc.: I like how everything sounds like a good career, but you're just fooling yourself because no one's gonna hire a retard from a mail-order university. All they do is hand someone a job and don't teach them anything, like common sense and skills needed to succeed higher up in the ladder.

I hated those Pepsi commercials with Britney Spears, and thank god they're gone.
