Currently there are two that get to me.
Go National commercial - Why the fuck is John McEnroe so pissed off? This commercial bugs me because McEnroe's response is completely inappropriate for the situation.

Geico Pothole commercial - The voice of the pothole really makes me want to hurt people. I'd better never run into the voice-actress because if she opened her mouth, I'd probably break her teeth. I hit mute on the remote every time this shit comes on.

...Yer tires all flat and junk....

Yeah I hate that one too.

When I lived in Tahoe there was one on the radio advertising a pawn store chain... I always felt embarrassed for the Americans in the room when that came on.

All commercials enrage me.  I pay a monthly cable bill to have somewhere around 1/3 of the time I spend taking advantage of the service for which I pay filled with garbage I don't want to see. 

I would just cancel cable and have no TVs in the house.  But I'm outnumbered in my house on the cancelling cable issue, so I'm out of luck.

Chris Farley doing the "Fat Guy In A Little Coat" routine for David Spade, for Direct TV. That's just creepy since Farley has been dead for 12 years...

Farley's the second dead person Direct TV has used for their ads. Remember the one with Heather O'Rourke (the little girl from Poltergeist)?

What the fuck is wrong with that company?

Eh, dead people in commercials doesn't bother me much. The Billy Mays commercials are still running. As far as I understand it the Billy Mays people think of it as a very apt tribute to the man.

I love adverts.
The national confectionary do some pretty badass ones.

Bring On The Trumpets - Advert

not to mention a glass and a half full productions

Eh, dead people in commercials doesn't bother me much. The Billy Mays commercials are still running. As far as I understand it the Billy Mays people think of it as a very apt tribute to the man.

I think showing Billy Mays commercials is completely different than taking a dead person's performance in a movie and using it to endorse your product, don't you think so?

Yeah it depends on context no doubt. My point is the fact that it's a dead person doesn't bother me.

I love adverts.

Agreed. Even crappy ones. I know this thread is about commercials that enrage a person, but I like the fact that those exist too. Commercials are close to fnords. Everyone watches them and everyone reacts internally and only a few people discuss them.

my boyfriend and i both flip our shit when that retarded geico pothole commercial comes on during our designated couple television time (jeopardy!).

We discuss them sometimes, just the awesome ones.

Volvic's FULL Length Old Tyrannosaurus Alan Ad!


my friend got both of these and downloaded them to his phone. fucking brilliant.

Frosties Kid - They're Gonna Taste Great! (High quality ver)

And on the topic of ads with dead people there was a rumour going around, a few years back in '05 I think, when they were showing this, that the kid here was builled so much he suicided. The company denied it though.

Print ads annoy me more. Got this my the mailbox last month.  It is clever though...I can imagine people flipping though the cat to find the logos.

When we were in India we saw an advert on the back of a magazine for a ruler.

"guy 1: hey, what's your favourite hobby?
guy 2: answering stupid questions,
guy 1: are you being serious?!
guy 2: no, I'm sirious!

You can't always get a straight answer, but now you can get a straight line!"

I laughed so much I wrote down the email address to contact them to tell them how fucking awesome their advert was. ...Never got round to it though..

What the fuck is wrong with that company?

If I were their marketing director I'd have a commercial starring Farley, Candy and Belushi doing a three stooges routine. That would totally fucking rawk.

How about Hitler, Mussolini, and Lenin?

Ducksoup !

I don't think there is anything worse and more annoying than radio ads.

Depends on the station. But yeah they are pretty much the gutter of the advertising world.

I've been thinking, the only advert I can remember that I dont like is this one:

Anonymous' Garth Davis Gives Five For Halifax

And that's because the whole idea of it really annoys me.
I mean... seriously.

To balance it out one of my favourite adverts ever is:

Honda Advert (Hate Something, Change Something...)

I like Garrison Keillor. That commercial was actually kinda cool.

Kinda cool?
That advert is damn awesome!

Also, i hate kerry katona.
Thank god she got dropped by iceland.


Kerry Katona - NEW Iceland 2008 Christmas Advert

Iceland Advert - Heads you Win, Tails You Win

Yeah I like Garrison Keillor too. He can spin a good tale.

Thank god she got dropped by iceland.

Weird. Here in the States, "Iceland" is reserved solely for the country from which Bjork came.

I know I'm not alone when I say that these commercials used to bug me pretty well too:
All 6 Free Credit Report.Com Commercials

Thank god she got dropped by iceland.

Weird. Here in the States, "Iceland" is reserved solely for the country from which Bjork came.

And yet the UK still pwns the US, funny that.

=P


EDIT:

New Ford Focus "Beautifully Arranged"

this one is great too.

I've always been partial to this one:
Sony Bravia

but that's probably at least partially because I'm kind of a fag for Jose Gonzalez.

EDIT: This is better quality

I <3 the free credit report dot com commercials.

They've grown on me, but I used to be pretty mildly irritated by them.

The same goes for the change in voices for the Geico Gecko.

Remember when he spoke like this:
The 1999 Geico Gecko

Instead of like this:
Geico Commercial - Cafe

I've grown tolerant of the new voice, but it used to bother me.

EDIT:
I also hate geiko gecko ripoffs like this superbowl '07 Sobe commercial:
SoBe Super Bowl Ad Stars Naomi Campbell
Yes I know the Sobe lizard is older than the geiko gecko, but I'm pretty sure this was the first time they rendered him in 3D and tried to evoke a badass version of the gecko. Worthless. That year had some far superior ads. The talking baby one was pretty damn good I thought.
