What commercials make you want to switch the channel?

I just saw two Jetta commercials within a few minutes. I am sure these commercials are quite effective in selling the safety of their cars but, it just sends chills up my back. I have to change the channel. The Head On commericials are another one of those that cause me to switch channels especially the ones that are poking fun of their own commericals. What commericals can you not stand to watch?

mine are the caveman comercials , I think the guy is spooky looking and the announcer commercials where they repeat everything as though I am too dumb to know what they said in the first place.

My favorite commercial is the Budweiser commercial with the snowball fighting horses

I can't tolerate all the Billy Fucillo ads. I don't know if he's local to New York but he is a HUGE annoyance. And he's everywhere. On every channel. You can't get away from him. I'd never buy a car from him because I can't tolerate his commercials.

I too hate the head on commercials& the cavemen ones. I can't think of the other ones that bug me, I'm sure once I watch some tv later tonigt I'll remember them quickly.

I hate the one with the man who sells cleaners I think and now even picture hooks. His voice is annoying. I believe the first commercial was for that miracle cleaner..and he pours it in a clear bucket with colored items and it turns the water clear. I also dont really like the drug commercials where it will say things like if you are feeling depressed or ED take this drug...and suddenly it shows the person flying kites and petting kittens, waving to the crossing guard, etc. I dont know, seems sorta creepy. Another one I really can't stand is the Wilford Brimley one.." check for diabetes, check it now"

I am by no means a prude, but I hate the ones with the sexual overtones - IE: Overstocks - "It's all about the O", the organic hair shampoo that they make it sound like she's having an orgasm...and there's another one but I can't think of it at the moment.

I am creeped out by the one with Celine Dion singing and then she appears under a families Christmas tree. I think it is for walgreens.

The ones guaranteed to make me leave the room are the pharmacutical ones for erectile disfunction and stds. Oh yeah, and the one with "BOB" and his natural male enhancement. Do they really need airtime for this stuff ? I'm thinking if people have any of those problems I'm sure they'll seek the stuff out but not because of the commercial.

I'm in Binghamton, and when Billy was in Hallstead PA -we used to see ads for him all the time..the radio ads were the worst..now that he moved to Syracuse, I see that he's painted on Billboards and on Buses..lol
Better you have him than us..

as far as commercials go..I hate all of them!

ROFL!! Those commercials are doofy I can't help but laugh every time I see one.

The one I CANNOT stand is the Jessica Simpson one for DirectTV(I think). Makes me never ever ever ever ever EVER (did I say EVER?) want to buy a HDTV OR DirectTV.

She's beautiful, she's talented, but I just cannot stand anything she does on television. I don't care much for the "dumb blonde" stuff, but even at first it's a little funny. But commercial after commercial after commercial (Dentyne, the Buffalo Wings one, Direct TV), etc, it's purely annoying.

Other commercials I usually don't care much for are celebrities - past or present - peddling things. From insurance to sleep number beds, it's just not believeable. I'm not going to say I don't like all of them, but many of them I don't.

One I DO like are the ones out for Geico, with the regular person and the celebrity. The one with Charo about made me pee my pants the first time I saw it and I love the one with the movie announcer Don Fontaine! LOL!

We have a creepy guy who sells furniture on our channels. This guy is in Cleveland and he scares me. He always has manaquins around him and sometimes they are real people. He has a mono-tone voice he is just creepy!!!
Buddy's Carpet is the other one. The lady on that commercial drives me nuts. Her neck buldges out when she talks it is so gross.

I know I shouldn't judge but these commercials are creepy.

LMAO!!! I can't stand those either! Especially the part that says "if you suffer from an erection lasting longer than 4 hours, consult your physician." Like who would call their physician and actually admit to this?

The other one that is really getting on my nerves lately is the Hallmark one that has the R-A-D-I-O in it. It's already been played wayyyyyy too much!

I like the one where the guy sings "it's my birthday, got my car fixed, new bumper."

I can't stand the Head On commercial, the ones promoting medicine like the nail infection commercial, the cave man commercials, the K-Mart commercials some make no sense except the one were the little boy is making a snow angel with leggos that is cute, any car dealership commercial that's all you see on tv, the one I think it might be Walgreens were these two women are decorating their house and they are singing then they go outside singing and fall backwards in the snow that is so annoying, and around election time all of the campaign commercials they show on tv that gets on my nerves.

Am I the only one who can't stand the Pepto Bismol commercials? I hate when they are singing "nausea, heartburn, indigestion..." and when they get to diarrhea and they grab their butts! Disgusting! I don't want to think about that!

I also hate the Head On commercials.

And, what about the commercials for the pharmaceutical companies when they are advertising a drug and they say "Make sure you tell your doctor if you have a heart condition, etc. before taking this medicine." Shouldn't your doctor already know if you have a heart condition???

I know there are a lot more commercials I can't stand, but that's all I can think of for now.

I used to watch a lot of late-night TV. Every other commercial was for "Girls Gone Wild." Then they switched it and 1 in 5 wasn't about phone dating and "hooking up with local singles."

I also don't like the caveman ones. They just don't make sence. Now I find myself recording things on TiVo and watching it later just so I don't have to watch commercials. I also don't watch late-night TV anymore.

Yes -- I hate that one, too. Also the one where the monk or whatever he is, they're advertising Kleenex tissues and he turns over a turtle and puts a bug on a leaf and then he BLOWS HIS NOSE! YUCK! I'm eating dinner -- I don't want to hear that!!

Those are my two least favorite!!

I am in Western Washington. There is a commercial for the Tulalip Casino. It drives me batty! To the tune of "Fun Fun Fun" by the Beach Boys the commercial sings "And we'll have fun, fun, fun, at the number one place for fun".

Uh.... What else are you going to have at the "number one place for fun"?? And of course you are going to have fun at the "number one place for fun".

I mentioned the commercial to DH and now it drives him crazy too. My son just looks at us and laughs when the commercial comes on.

And it is not only on tv - it is also on the radio.

Boy do I dislike that stupid commercial!!

My 4 year old and 6 year old cry every time they see this one.
Its the one with the little boy asking for a cell phone and they keep telling him no *he will run up the bill*, well when it goes to the Santa and he pushes the boy down the slide, My kids cry because *Santa* kicked the little boy.

Also the one on WW SMACKDOWN. When the man hits Santa over the head with the chair my same 2 children *scream and cry* The man is huting Santa.
Both of these make my BLOOD BOIL !~!

Ialso can't stand the *BoB* ones any of them they make me SICK and *BoB* looks like some kind of freak to me LOL.

But If I have to pick 1 it would have to be the BestBuys. They all are dirty to me. I mean come on the woman throws all the dinner ware and grabs the man as to say shes going to *&^%* him righ then and there. to me it's nasty. Why do this ? Best Buy doesn't have to make it out like the woman is going to get it on with her hubby to sell a product. Gessh.

I cannot stand the fairly new Hardee's one where the guy drops some chili off of his burger onto his pants, then proceeds to grab the chili off his pants with a french fry. Yes, I know there are much worse out there but this particular one bugs the heck out of me. Also in agreement with poster who mentioned the Pepto Bismol "Diarrhea Song" commercial.

Can't stand the Stanley Steamer commercials. I just want to throw grape juice at the squeaky woman in the white sweater...

Head On - Rather have the headache

Caveman ads creep me out

The worst for me are ALL the legal ads, just leaves me speechless...

Can't believe no one has mentioned this one. It's for a diet plan, where they send you the food.

The lady had dark brown long hair and is a SIZE 2. She keeps repeating "THIS IS A 2!" I mean, come on, not everyone aspires to be a 2. She was like a size 10 before the diet. And she has this annoying little laugh, Ugggh.

I cannot change the channel quick enough.

Also, the Ford commercials for Trucks and SUVs, "drive it like a Ford". They are very sexual and must only appeal to young people, don't older people drive Fords too? I just picture my Mom seeing that commercial and being totally disgusted.

DH is a pharmacist at the Veteran's Hospital and anyone who wants to be prescribed Levitra has to attend one of his erectile dysfunction clinics before they get their prescription. You'd be surprised at some of the stuff they ask him!

I turn the channel when any commercial comes on that shows nearly UFO's (unclad female objects) and those gyrating or sounding like someone a pervert might reach when calling a 900 number. It is shocking to me that people are okay with their children sitting in front of the TV watching this stuff! Annoying commercials are one thing, but . . . need I say more?

I can't stand all of the beer commercials...usually on Sundays during the games...They tend to glamorize drinking...I have nothing against drinking beer...In fact, I used to love it before I stopped...But it just makes young people especially see it as so much fun...of course they don't see the bleak and unhappy side of it...the hangovers, the DUI's, the destruction of families...sigh... ~Lisa

Another commercial that gets on my nerves is the one for Gardasil, the HPV vaccine that is supposed to prevent cervical cancer. It really wouldn't bother me so much if they were just more upfront about things and actually mentioned that the types of HPV that can cause cervical cancer (types 6, 11, 16 and 18) are sexually transmitted diseases. They recommend this vaccine for girls as young as 9, but they don't mention anything at all about it basically being a vaccine for a sexually transmitted disease.

I actually like the caveman commercials. I can't stand the toenail fungus, jessica simpson and just recently here in NY there is a commercial with two kids SCREAMING with excitement about their Christmas presents. I don't even know what the commercial is for .

Any used car dealership commericals drives me insane.

Victoria Secret--The Angel... very poor taste to have angel wings on a woman in sexy lingeria..

Victoria Secret--Santa Baby-the signing drives me nuts...

I aboslutely hate the toe fungus ones!!! I HAVE to change the channel because when they lift up the toenail I cringe every time!!! It is disgusting (and I work in the medical field). I also am not liking the Victoria's secret one where Heidi Klum sings Santa Baby. Guess no one told her she CAN NOT sing!!!!
