Every time I see the Crystal Light's "Pump It Up" commercial on the Food Network, I want to take the biggest hammer I have and smash my TV to smithereens. What a fucking cheesy attempt to sell sugared water.

I think cable TV is the most brazen scam in US. How can one pay $70+ and watch TV that consists of 60% commercials?

NJ Tourism ad with the damned Bon Jovi song. Virtually every morning during the local news.

I LOVE the Geico caveman ads. Those still crack me up. It doesn't say anything. It's a doll.

Goddamn medicine commercials. I can't stand the things; they are always old people that somehow take the medicine and are suddenly able to ride a bike, mountain climb, parasail, whatever. Ugh.

And the Head-On commercials. "Applied directly to the forehead" my ass. STFU Head-On commercial.

lolol. yes, those medicine commercials..... for example:

"----tamine: if you have a case of social anxiety or inability to socialize, take this prescription it will heal you...
SIDE EFFECTS ARE: diarrhea, loss of bowel control, flatulence, high blood pressure, blurred vision, neurosis, insanity, seizures, vomiting, etc."

so stupid. yes, truthfully there was a commercial similar to that long time ago, i was like laughing each time i saw it.

and that head on commercial yes, dumb. real dumb.


the commercials i am so annoyed by recently were during the NBA Playoffs, the ones marketing the NBA: especially the one where the choir makes stupid basketball court sounds thumping their chests and stuff. my god , that brought chills up my spine and each time i saw it i uncontrollably voiced out profanities by accident.

I find billboards more offensive than television commercials. A Brazilian city (I want to say Brasilia or Sao Paolo) did away with them pretty recently.

The most annoying commercial currently on TV is the Hyundai Genesis commercial. What fucking absurd comparisons with Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Lexus! For example, today, it was something about the Hyundai being better at something than a $350,000 Rolls Royce. Are they marketing this car toward the stupid people segment? I understand that the Genesis, in and of itself, is a pretty decent car. Why don't they just market it on its own merits and let people decide? If I ever had any inclination to buy a Hyundai Genesis, it's been destroyed with these stupid commercials. Actually, I will likely not buy any other Hyundais because of these commercials.

the most annoying commercial now is the Jack in the Box one with the two business men in the baby strollers. they start crying when they get hungry and they get fed a jack in the box junk.


so freakin annoying, i just either turn the channel or if i dont have the remote, i run up and power down the tv for a minute.
