Nominations for most annoying commercials?

[_sturt_]

Nationwide Insurance, hands down #1 here.

Everything they do is annoying, trying to jam that commercial jingle into earworm status.

Thank God for that mute button.

Yeah it is, wonder what insurance would cost if you didn't see a commercial every freaking two minutes

I would throat punch Flo if I saw her on the street.

 

[Bill Wooten]

Any McDonalds commercial, especially the McPick Two commercials.

those recycling commercials where the shampoo bottle is dreaming of a 2nd shot at life are out of control. They play 3-4 times in a row and 5 times an hour. I know they're for a good cause and all but they are relentless. Not sure if they're nationally run or just in my region but they drive me crazy.

Close 2nd in the My Pillow commercials..

 

[MileyDancer]

Literally all of them. A few of the mayhem guy commercials Are funny and 2 slim Jim commercials are good. Literally every angle you can think of has been beaten to death. Flo the insurance lady needs to be hanged, and she makes like $500,000 a year for those unfunny commercials.

Easy. Any narcotic commercial that promotes "Drugs" that have side effects that are worse than the original disease!!

 

[haleyrules]

Any McDonalds commercial, especially the McPick Two commercials.

Ha!! Mc Donalds should be an advertisement for the type 2 Diabetes prevention foundation. What a terrible company they really are!! Should be illegal to promote that garbage!

The Lexus car commercials with the bow on top.
The Cialis and Viagra commercials
The Trivago hotel dude
Any and all prescription drug commercials.

 

[lane]

Macy's and Ross commercials where the actors and actresses pose so stupid and fake expressions

 

[Dallas_Cowboys50]

It's very uncomfortable to watch Viagra commercials with my daughter in the room.

It's very uncomfortable to watch Viagra commercials with my daughter in the room.

It's uncomfortable to watch them just because they're cheesy. I'm a 61 year old woman with no small children and I throw up a little in my mouth every time I see that woman writhing around on the bed bragging that her man knows what to pack.

 

[Reality]

All of them

 

[Silver Surfer]

Most of the ones you've mentioned pale in comparison to the local adds in my area.... particularly the ones where the owner parades some child out on screen to say something cute in their young voice in an attempt to win my heart. Yep, that 3 year old is really gonna get me to go down and buy your cheap-*** furniture or better yet, I'll spend $35k on one of your cars because your grandkid told me I should!

That, or the lawyers.... the lawyers.....don't get me started.

Being in marketing I pay attention to commercials.

Most commercials fail to do what they're suppose to– sell.

They approach it from the standpoint "OK, if our commercial is entertaining then it will cause people to search out our products."

Which of course doesn't work in most instances.

On top of that most commercials aren't entertaining– so they fail on two fronts.

Personally I like the "Flo" commercials. I think they entertain and get the message across.

The "mayhem" commercials are entertaining but I don't think they're as effective in selling the product.

That's the challenge. The "Energizer Bunny" commercials were entertaining but within a couple minutes many folks thought the commercials were for Duracell.

The famous "Where's the Beef" commercials didn't move the needle for Wendy's.

Another group of commercials I like? Sonic's. They're entertaining and they sell the product.

Here are a couple older commercials I like:



A golden oldie from 1982

And this:

Those Chevy commercials are so cringe worthy that I have to change the channel.

 

[Supercowboy1986]

CALL JG WENTWORTH! 877-CASH-NOW !!!

Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate the Rocket Mortgage commercials.
