Annoying TV Commercials 2013 Edition

[MarcB]

Any commercial that announces their phone number 5 times in the last 20 seconds, while it's flashing on the screen! (That means YOU, Life Alert!)

LifeAlert ads are all over ME-TV and Antenna-TV and they often feature the same woman. "I've fallen and I can't get up." Since the commercial often airs during every break my Mom and I joke "Lady, if you'd stop drinking, you'd stop falling."

No one's mentioned the ads for the class action lawsuit for women who've had their mesh implant failures yet??

Don't you guys get those commercials where you are?? They must come on at least 19 times a day here (Arizona)- for sufferers to call some toll free number so they can get in on the lawsuit. Apparently it's for some disgusting problem that makes their hoo hoos fall out, or something like that. The first time I saw that commercial, I thought to myself as I did a load of laundry "if I were a man, that would turn me gay" just thinking about some old lady's parts randomly falling out of her down there holes.

Yes- that mesh failure is a real thing. I guess when women get super old, their "parts" inside there can get all flobby and useless and have to be rebuilt out of some kind of mesh, and those parts failed so now big lawsuit.

Here, found a youtube of one of the ads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4cC9A9vWUg

All the freaking lawyer ads. Makes me wish we could hunt lawyers like we hunt deer.

"I have a structured settlement and I need cash NOOOOOWWWW! Call J.G. Wentworth, 877-CASH-NOW!!!" 'Nuff said. That opera commercial has been airing for years now and they don't STOP airing the stupid ad.

And there's now a competitor to J.G. Wentworth and their number is 855-CASH-NOW!!!!! I only know this because flipping channels the ad pops up in the middle of Jerry Springer and Steve Wilcos.

This thread (as well as the Worst Commercials thread on the Classic TV board) will be picking up a little more starting today--the first Sunday of NFL season and the usually notoriously bad commercials that grace our screens during the season. Anyway, a short time ago during CBS NFL coverage (Bears-Bengals in my area), the Windows Phone ad with the people fighting and bumping into each other in the theater ranks high in my annoyance level and is IMO one of many worst commercials in TV history.

And it also aired a short time ago, but I am so sick of that stupid song in the background of Motorola's Droid Max ads (the one where the characters are on the boat at sea).

Those Kohl's ads using Flashdance (What A Feeling!) are starting to annoy me

 

[crainbebo]

Novation Capital. Rather annoying too. I thought the Kohl's ads were radio-only, but annoying too.

[MCarney]

Skittles "French the Rainbow, Taste the Rainbow", where an unpopular teen boy gets a girl by putting Skittles on his teeth. She then grabs him and makes out with him. How in your face can you get with that tagline?

 

[MarcB]

The Pepsi Next ad with the stupid husband and the stupid wife and the stupid dancing. rock guitar playing baby.

 

[desertv]

Add to this steaming pile..."Depends for Men"...endorsed by "The Goose"

Those Kohl's ads using Flashdance (What A Feeling!) are starting to annoy me

On radio she even goes to the dentist and we hear her singing but not that clearly with a dental drill in the background.

 

[vchimpanzee]

Call in the next ten minutes! It even starts counting don: 9:59, 9:58, 9:57 ...

And then it does it again before the commercial is even over!

 

[crainbebo]

Vchimpanzee, that's the ad for Lipozene - where the woman looks so bad on camera, it looks like an internet ad! Terrible quality.

Also....$5 Footlong just came back AGAIN (Subway). I think it's been about four or five YEARS since that stupid jingle started.

[firepoint525]

The stupid BCBST commercial in which the woman says, "if you don't watch it, you can drown in a carpool." That may have been funny for the first million times that that spot aired, but it is LONG past time to retire that spot!

And I can say without any hesitation at all that the house shown at the beginning of that commercial is NOT in Germantown, Tennessee! How stupid do they think we are?

Don't know that this is annoying. I turned on Fox Sports 1 this morning to watch the NASCAR practice from Louden. They went to a commercial break and played a national ad for Toyota (I think it was Toyota) and then Cox Cable stepped in with their local commercials and it was for none other than.......ESPN!

 

[MarcB]

The Nationwide Insurance commercial with the giant sized baby.

 

[ihEARDtHAT]

"The Goose"

I don't understand his draw. I have watched Man Caves and he is not talented with tools or design. Once in a while he does have a great idea or a contact he can lean on to get something they need for the cave but he stands around like a big lug, most of the time in his sandals (best show to wear in a construction zone) and makes a lot of noise.
I am guessing that Depends is using his face value from Man Caves for their commercials.

 

[Braves2005]

The rollback guy from Wal-Mart is back in full force after a couple of years.

 

[MarcB]

3 commercials I've seen lately for the Hopper by Dish Network.

PS Dish Network will never get a dime of mine if I'm ever able to live on my own. After all these years they still refuse to carry The Yes Network, which is a RSN that carries the NY Yankees Baseball Team and Brooklyn Nets NBA team. I also believe the also no longer carry SNY another RSN. This one carries The Mets Baseball Team and all games from the University of Connecticut (Football, Mens Baseketball, and Women Basketball) that are not on ESPN, ESPNU, ESPN3, or CBS.
