Current commercial that makes you want to scream

All current commercials make me want to scream.

This is why I watch everything - and I do mean everything, on TiVo.
 
Many commercials annoy me, but I forget about them a minute later. The worst right now, because it's both hugely creepy AND sticks in your head, is the Chocolate Axe Body Spray commercial, with the freaky wide-eyed chocolate dude walking around town while girls bite various body parts off him.
 
Sonic's commercials are getting on my nerves, and that progressive insurance woman....

I kinda like her. :)

I think that Sonic's commercails have outworn their welcome, esp. now that I don't see either the married couple or the two dim guys much anymore.

I actually sort of like that one, but that may have something to do with the abundance of pretty girls in it. ;)

Plus, the song they use is kind of catchy too.

On the whole, I think it's somewhat clever, and the visual of the chocolate man is interesting (I'm curious as to how they set it up), but don't worry, I'm not a slave to advertising: I am in no way more compelled now to buy some Axe Body Spray.
 
The Geico commercials that use the money with the eyes and the "Somebody's Watching Me" song are the worse...the absolute worse. My wife and I agree that we miss the Cavemen compared to these commercials.
 
...., and that progressive insurance woman....

She's just scarry :eek:

and of course those Enzyte Commercials and "Smilin' Bonner" Bob.

I love Flo (the progressive insurance woman). Smilin' Bob on the other hand, is just creepy.

Flo's real name is Stephanie Courtney...

The commercials I hate the most right now are the "that's the money you could be saving by switching to Geico" commercials.
 
For me, it's probably the Iggy Pop Insurance ad (And given what I tend to watch, it appears a lot in a single hour)

Ahh, those are terrible.

Those really are the worst ads I've seen lately. :scream:

There's an ad for a toy block set that has an annoying jingle. I hit the mute button whenever it comes on.
 
Well as a Brit I can only comment on the ads I see

I'm also one for never watching ads normally, I Sky+ most of what I do watch (which isn't that much anyway) and if I am watching something "live" I always turn over during the ads anyway

But, now and again you can't help it, like at the cinema for example. I hate those Cadbury Dairy Milk ads. Designed for toe brained cretins. Especially the latest one with the two fucking kids. Christ, that came on when I saw Slumdog Millionaire and I just had to close my eyes like it was some nightmare.
And that one for some shit phone company where "everyone" (ie. actors pretending to be real people) are all dancing in a train station... that makes me want to pray for armageddon and I would happily knife every single person in that train station if I were there

Ditto, just plain disturbing.
