Here in the Phoenix area we have a Realtor who comes on and announces how successful he is then he says "I'm not bragging, I'm applying for a job, I wanna be your Realtor!" The he flashes a big phony smile (showing nasty teeth) and says "Thank you" and the oil just drips off the words. Do you have a favorite one to HATE?
 

That GE commercial with the little girl who says "My mom makes trains that are friends with trees"... My mom works for GE... It's creepy
 

Those anti smoking commercials with the women and her voice box that she needed for her throat cancer, or the guy pushing his dentures out of his mouth because smoking caused him to lose his teeth. Those scare tactic ads are especially gross to see when you're sitting there eating dinner.

 
In the tri-state area there is a radio commercial that has been on forever. Just the opening notes and I slam the button. " 1 877 Cars for kids, donate your car today". Grating as heck, oh and TV ads for the SPCA. I'm Sarah McLaughlin and I'm going to ruin your whole afternoon...our house is full of formerly homeless critters, you should be sending me donations GRRRRRRRR
 
The retired admiral president of New Day USA. A reverse mortgage company playing on the idea that they are looking out for vets. He is just so full of himself. He used to appear in full uniform. I guess that didn't go over well. He dresses more casually in each re-make commercial. Still has to mention his 32 years of service, with American flag flying.
 
In our area there are three large furniture stores that compete for business. They all advertise like crazy, but one, "Bob's Discount Furniture" just makes me want to hit the mute button as soon as the ad comes on. "Bob" does his own ads and just has this annoying quality about his voice.
 
The "four hour erection" and "painful intercourse" ones get the instant mute in our house. Very awkward when you have three teens who are not yours by birth in the house.....
 
I've seen the Bob's commercial, something really creepy about that guy. Then there was a commercial I used to love. This guy is sitting on the couch and his girl notices a spider. He leans over to smash it and it throws him around the room.

Yeah, the attractive women saying “it’s nice to cuddle up with your favorite guy…..but, the thing is…” (erection problems) :rolleyes:

I've been seeing one about excessive underarm sweating (gross) ...don't remember the product.
 
My complaint is that the "mute" button on the remote is not nearly big enough. It is the button that I use the most.
 
Oh, geeze, where to start? I think I have a problem - I look forward to the commercials so I can hate on them.

My current target of opportunity is one for a local bargain store, Big Lots, that sells junk cheap. These three women come dancing in and the lead dancer/singer, who looks like she just closed down the doughnut shop, sings

"Christmas doesn't happen without me"

Oooookay ... so you're the Virgin Mary? You're the one responsible for world-wide cheer and good will and those yummy stollens?

I think not.

On that painful intercourse one ... Osphena ... ever listen to the list of possible side-effects? That alone would turn me into a nun.

:laugh:

I started paying attention to the Big Lots holiday commercials a few years ago - because THAT WOMAN CAN SING!! YES!

I don't know who she is, but she should be on broadway.

Sorry Phil :hide:

However, it’s been years but I think I’ve been to Big Lots maybe twice. I agree with you about “junk”. Dollar Store is several levels above Big Lots.

She should be on Broadway, all right - right in the middle of it during rush hour! :playful:

IF it is her singing ... you know how these singers lip-synch and use Autotune these days ...
 
Holy cow! Ok, I don't like Big Lots..but I used to love Pic 'N Save...and they took over those stores. I used to find all kinds of cool stuff..then Big Lots came in and oh my... This commercial is very funny. I do wonder if that's really her voice.
