I'm sure we all have TV commercials that we just absolutely hate.
The one currently at the top of my "I Hate this Commercial" List is the one for Castrol Edge (motor oil)...

"Think with Yer Dipstick... Jimmy!!!"

(click image to watch)

Which ones top your lists?

Yup, this one is at the top of my sh*t list, too.

Otherwise, I hate jewelry commercials, political commercials, commercials that pimp sh*tty pet food as "healthy"...

Does this mean you won't buy Castrol oils?

Parallax · 11-14-2009, 09:14 AM

Castrol for sure, but followed closely by anything with Sham-Wow Vince.

Yeah, that Castrol commercial is annoying and stupid. So are the endless Geico commercials. I would really like to see Morris the cat eat that lizard.....

This time of year I really hate the commercials that operate on the assumption that EVERYONE buys their beloved obscenely expensive cars and jewelry for holiday gifts and if you don't you're not properly showing your love. Grrrr.

But I don't watch TV for the most part anymore so I really wouldn't know about current commercials.

Wildnsyko · 11-14-2009, 09:29 AM

How about any commercial that has an annoying tune that stays in your head for the rest of the day....

Ratmagiclady · 11-14-2009, 09:33 AM

I'm beginning to get annoyed at Aston Kutcher teaching really bad camera handling for Nikon.

(Come on, Nikon. A camera you shoot by tapping on the back? What's that?

)

Womens products, marketers know that women are mor elikely to impulse shop and will spend vast sums of money on highly dubious beauty products. So things like Yoghurt, shampoo, lotions/potions and tooth brushes seem to have an endless stream of terrible adds that clog the box.

So, how many billion trillion mico bugs does your fat free chemical cocktail yoghurt have?

I'm sure tapping the back of the camera does wonders for keeping images sharp and well-focused.

As many as each person has crawling over his/her body?

I LOVE the Castrol commercials

Once you see this, you'll never see the Slap Chop commercial the same

YouTube - DJ Steve Porter featuring Vince Offer - "Slap Chop Rap"

Oh to stay on topic: I hate Christmas commercials before Thanksgiving (even before Halloween this year!)...and I hate the repetitiveness of those commercials up till Christmas itself.
