Any Progressive ad with Flo

All the Subaru radio ads featuring smug, yuppies sounding people talking about their Subaru

We had a Subaru, it was a great car. Their ads make me never want to own one again. Last year's winter ad about the guy who had a 5 mile commute was awful. He made his commute sound like a trip across country.

High voiced Peyton Manning and arts and crafty Tony Romo DirecTV ads. Just cringe-inducingly bad, and that whole campaign has been awful beyond the first few Rob Lowe ads.

Any Peyton Manning ad, really. He's the kind of guy who thinks he's a hoot and has nobody to tell him he isn't.

My top 3:

3. Prescription drug ads. Why are they even allowed to advertise them? Not everybody can theoretically drop everything and buy them if they had the money, and the side effects sound more like scare tactics than anything else.

2. Sirius XM talk radio ads that repeat phone numbers at least 3 times.

1. "I'm [name] and I approve this message." Especially during election season when there are 10 different candidates from 3 different states plus the presidential race running every other ad! I'd rather take a power drill to my eardrum instead.

The only difference between pharmaceutical companies and drug dealers is the degree on the wall.

Matthew McConaughey selling Lincolns, rubbing a booger between his fingers, sharing deep thoughts, you know: "Sometimes you gotta go back to move forward."

Do y'all have Sonic fast food ads in NJ?

OMG. I swear they make you want to shoot someone close to you every time they come on.

See, the two Sonic guys in the car are probably the least annoying and actually funny long term pitchmen I can think of. But I also like Flo a lot so I may be out of step with the popular tastes.

Those DirecTV ads featuring football players and their analogs with emasculating features who have cable.

Any ad airing in November with Xmas music or "Auld Lang Syne"

"Ask your doctor if [insert drug name here] is right for you."

There was one drug commercial that said, "Tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems." Shouldn't my doctor be the one telling me if I have liver or kidney problems?

Not necessarily. People switch doctors, or see specialists. That's usually why when you see a doctor for the first time they have you fill out a medical history form. My cardiologist doesn't necessarily know that I had an ulcer last year.

Can't believe Toyota would run the Coach T commercials where a creepy old dude was trying to "recruit" young drivers. He looked and sounded like an old LB coach at PSU

Do a Google search for "Kars for Kids scam"

http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/11/20/kars4kids-steers-donors-in-the-wrong-direction/

This thread reminds me that I need to go out this week to buy my wife a Lexus and purchase some jewelry from Kay's or Jared.

Ahhhh Subaru commercials! Remember, this car brand is for:

Lesbians
Childless couples
Childless, sporty couples
Childless singles and couples who shop at REI
Empty nesters who like the outdoors
Professor couples from New England
Couples who work for non profits

...and with the new Crosstrek...male homos...

It's true! ;)

The Old Spice deodorant commercials. Obnoxious beyond human tolerance.
