All drug commercials, except the one with the talking beaver and Abe Lincoln.

All weight loss and gym equipment commercials that have the disclaimer "exceptional results depicted."

All car commercials that have "Professional driver on closed course" disclaimers.

All commercials that have "Not available in AK, HI or other states we don't really care about."

Any commercial whose products require you to know if you're healthy enough to have sex.

Commercials that forever ruin your past favorite songs by turning it into a jingle. To quote Charlie Harper on "Two & A Half Men": "Who needs a jingle writer when a tampon maker can just use "Stuck in the Middle With You?"

One has surged to the head of the pack for me: the Country Wide Financial ad, featuring a silver haired, silver tonuged devil, starts off with, "Friends, want to re-finance, need cash?" or something like that. It has a green sort of motif in the background and the guy wears a suit that fits with that.

Good lord, the same ad is played round the clock on practically every cable station I watch and has been for months. I can't reach the remote fast enough when that damn thing comes on. The guy is such a sleazer, and Country Wide is reputed to be the Enron of mortgage brokers.

Infomercials on PBS when they have the beg-a-thons every other month. How many times can you watch that bald headed moron selling his books and dvd's about the "power of intention"?

DVR is my friend. Of course I have to remember to record everything interesting before hand, which isn't much anymore. Or pause it for a while and then come back. My vote BTW has to be Esurance.

No the Geico folks ripped off an old SNL skit with Phil Hartman...the script for the attempted sitcom reads like someone wrote it while taking a crap.

Apparently they work since they are remembered.

Oh my heck! You mean that Wentworth huckster isn't just a local dude?!:eek::confused: I never saw those commercials until we moved to Utah, so thought he was from around here. That guy makes the worst used car salesman look honest:rolleyes:

Any commercial with Billy Mays. This guy seems to be pitching everything these days. He has this "in your face" irritating manor of how he pitches the products. In my opinion he offers no credibility to product he pitches. He annoys the heck out of me. He seems to be on almost every commercial break. Give me a break and shut the **** up! I wish his head would go KABOOM!
