My #1 of the year is the BMW advert with kids being video'ed opening their present. I swear I'm coming close to throwing a brick at the tv.
What's yours?
Probably the ad for a local car dealership with the same words and a different salesman saying them - I wouldn't mind but for some reason, local Comcast show them all (three 20 second ads) one after another during the basketball.

I would definitely avoid the dealership, simply due to the annoyance factor of the ads.

Haven't seen the BMW ad - I only started watching normal TV again recently and fast forward through the ads on the DVR.
The Head On commericals, but NOT the actual original ones, the ones where the people come on and say how annoying the commercial is....

Also the McDonalds one where they have the Ronald the idiot clown trying to be some kind of rapping inner city hero.

Thats 2nd on my list! :twisted:

Don't watch TV, but the local ads on my radio station -notably the ones for Jewellers and for IT colleges- are driving me nuts. So much so that I turn the radio off when i hear them. However, Thor has them all memorized and takes it as a personal challenge not only to "Name that Ad in One", but to complete it from the second I hit the Off button, including phone numbers and disclaimers. And he's a damn good mimic. evil
Pretty much every commercial annoys me.

/hoorah for my DVR

Are you sure that's what you meant to link to? Looks like a slightly alarming nerdfest on that thread.

:lol: Ah the joys of work colleagues interrupting you every few seconds with inane questions about networks. Sorry 'bout that.

Anyway, that ad reeks of bestiality :wink:

The aftershave commercial where all you see are thousands of horny large breasted women in skimpy bikinis bouncing all over a beach for no apparent reason whatsoever.

Thats annoying...? :shock:

Dont see that many as we mostly watch premium channels ,news programes and sport being the exception .cant say when i last tuned to abc ,nbc , cbs etc for other than sports

with nfl football i have a second channel button which i utilize when the adds appear soccer (english football ) is shown commercial free .

most of the adds annnoy me and i tune out when im confronted with them on news channels .

its not so much the ads as the 1 minute news bite in between 4 mins of them thats annoying ,thats why you cant get a good feel for the truth by watching any news channel on its own when you are trying to form an opinion .
