Most Despised TV Commercials

[Passepartout]

Progressive and Geico commercials. Way too much insurance commercials.

And now they're bringing back the old Geico commercials from years ago.

I DVR everthing so I can FF through them. It is a bit surprising that we can still avoid commercials that way, pretty soon we might not be able to skip them and have to watch like most when viewing On-Demand.

When that happens I will probably just dump my Fios and hook up an antenna and stream Netflix like all these kids do today anyways.

Never saw it before. That guy looks like they just woke him up after a bender.

Yeah, the guy for some reason bothers people. I think you can even find videos about people discussing why they don’t like him.

I always hated these commercials. I wanted that Terry the Tank Office Linebacker to flatten this jerk.

Hump Day and the Weeee Pig commercials never fail to get a laugh out of me. Love them, Mike,Mike,Mike,Mike Mike....What day is it?

Let's try and keep this to the most recent and not harken back to the golden years. I spent a long time in the advertising field and I gotta say, there are more annoying commercials than I can recall but a couple really stick out because I can't get out of the way on Sat or Sun watching ball without seeing them over and over and over and over and, well, you get the picture.

The Pizza Hut ad with that ugly kid ripping the box in half with a Tarzan like yell is #1. Wouldn't you just love for your daughter to behave that way? Not to be outdone, they created one with Antonio Brown dancing like a drag queen with those other two fruitcakes. I refuse to do business with that company. I am afraid I will become violent or actually think Dancing with the Stars needs watching.

Number 2 is that Verizon ad with that guy that not one person I know in real life could ever relate to showing up where he's not welcome and boring people to death. That's the best they can do? Get this guy a friend so he will stop annoying people and that poor guy on the beach finally gets some music going and they make him flip to hip hop. They destroyed that man's life.

OK, your turn, I am sure there are more but I don't watch much commercial TV except for sports. I am also planting this now in anticipation of the Christmas jewelry ads that imply that if you don't buy her trinkets, you won't get laid and she won't love Jesus.

So with your background did you love or hate Mad Men?

What it Mesothelioma? How did I get this disease? For some reason that one always annoys me.

The Farmers Only commercials are pretty bad. Anything done by Sonic (I think those two dudes met on Farmers Only). Anything done by Progressive Insurance(I'd like to strike Flo). Anything done by the NRA.

Come on...Never enough NRA ads on tv, aren’t they a major sponsor of this website...

Hate this commercial about a guy who has no money but needs a hearing aid. The guy is so freaking grumpy...

I do get a chuckle out of the Humpday commercial, but the pig squealing is annoying.

Got tired of it quickly, it seemed too formulaic.

LOVE the raccoons, that's my favorite one of all time.

Had to Google that one. Reminds me of the raccoons in The Great Outdoors.

He's only grumpy when he's talking about the ridiculous price of hearing aids, and I don't blame him...especially when you put it in the context of the cost of a TV..........Hell, I have a Bluetooth earpiece that was $70, and I imagine that's higher tech than the hearing aid.

What's annoying is when he says, "You can't even see it!"........Well no, not when you're looking right at me, but turn your head an inch and I can see it just fine.

I don't like the anti smoking commercials with the people with cancer. They just dredge up too many painful memories.

Agree and the very first one, and most famous one. was the actor that always played Perry Mason's adversary, Hamilton Burger, the most incompetent DA in TV history.

 

[Runwildboys]

The Downy fabric softener "half washed" commercials are stupid.

Yep, lost on those, the only parts I know on a vehicle are the ones that I need, ac and audio.
