1) The beer commercial (MGD, I think) with the sweaty girl in the gold dress at a club, waiting for the DJ to play a song she likes. The DJ drop 2 more records, not even trying to beat match or wair for a break. That's like fingernails on a chalkboard to anyone who knows anything about DJing. And on top of that, the song that she DOES dance to is just as crappy as the first two that she didn't like.

2) The new Chrysler commercials with Celine Dion. Who the hell is their target audience? Isn't Celine Dion one of the most pretentious, tight-assed people in the world? Watching her comb her spoiled kid's hair out of it's face makes me want to . (I said "it's" hair because I can't even tell if her kid is a boy or girl).

3) Adelphia commercials. Not only do I hate their company for other reasons, but their commercials cater to stupid people. They have these commercials where they talk bad aboud satellite dishes, saying you have to pay for additional TVs, they're too expensive, and service is not reliable. But if you go with digital cable, which Adelphia is forcing down my throat, you still have to pay for additional TVs. I'm also paying $60 a month for BASIC cable, and I make about 5 calls a month when my service goes out. Then, they also say to buy Adelphia Broadband because it lets you spend more time with your family!?! WTF!?!

4) The Bass Ale commercial with the guy who says, "There's a big difference between the right girl and the right now girl", then he does some Chandler Bing head shake thing after. Then he says a couple more things about Karaoke and Basketball that are supposed to be profound statements but don't make any sense.

1) Any Chevy Trucks commercial where the trucks are like super-huge and shit. There may be a limited audience for these commercials; I believe it may only air in Texas, seeing as their main marketing gimme is "Chevy Trucks: #1 in Texas." Also, there's a Texas Edition Silverado...

2) Those Busch Beer commercials where the people are also super-huge...

3) That one Hyundai Tiburon GT commercial from awhile back when it was marketed with the Devil as the spokesperson - you know, when the guy goes to hell and has to drive a minivan, and Satan drives a Tiburon GT? Anyway, I think the Hyundai is still a POS, but I absolutely hated it at the very end when the Tiburon does a 4-wheel slide into position. All I can think of every time is: Does this car not have ABS?

4) The Monte Carlo SS commercial: "For that long road to maturity, we'll be there." It's the one where the 2 coworkers are pulling up the the traffic light. The passenger is trying to drink his coffee, but everytime he tries to take a sip the driver hits the brakes, thus making the car lunge forward. Anyway, I hate how everytime he hits the brakes, he squeals his tires. I mean c'mon - the car is going 2mph. Slamming on the brakes at this speed would NOT result in tire lockup.

BTW, yes, it's the technicalities that piss me off.

5) All Jack in the Box commercials. Need I explain?

1) the Dell commercials with that "your getting a dell DUDE" guy

2) Miller Time commercial where the girls now talk about the guys fighting over beer (they ruined my favorite commercial)

3) the Sprite commercial with Kobe practicing boxing...why practice boxing when he is b-baller? its probably because he got punked by Chris Childs

micron...

2) Is that the one where the girls make-believe what they want in a commercial? If so, I thought it's pretty funny - just not what I wanted to see.

Ditech.com, the irritating sound effect "swooshes" The idiot sereaming how he "lost another loan to Ditech.com"! It just make me think "how can anyone who would relate to that commercial be smart enough to have a mortgage in the first place?

I am not sure which is worse, the "You're getting a Dell" dude or the Dell interns.

Hmmm. This thread makes me glad I hardly watch any TV. The last time I watched the networks (aside from news, though I prefer cable news) Enterprise was showing the first couple episodes from season 1. Here's some:

1. Can you hear me now?... Can you hear me now?
2. The jerkoff in the suit with the "?" marks all over it yelling about free government money in his book.
3. The old commercial with the Vietnamese guy surrounded by bimbos and a yacht talking about how he made so much money.
4. Just about any feminine hygiene/denture cleaning commercial.
5. The commercials that initially don't look like commercials until a roach runs across the screen. Then the Orkin man comes.
6. Now that I think of it, Orkin commercials with Borg/Transformers type transformations.

and this one was at least amusing, if not silly:

The truck commercial from last year that showed the vehicle being pursued and snared by a UFO. The truck then proceeds to drag the UFO all over the place. Disclaimer on screen said: "Professional driver, do not attempt".
