    1: I don't know what the Hell this commercial was, but I guess it's suppose to be some home rennovation service and the thing went on for 10 freakin' minutes, I counted every second of it. That guy was so damn annoying. He kept saying the same thing over and over."Call now and we'll fix your house for a low price. We'll even add in an air conditioning system! If you call now, our price will be so low you won't believe it!" and so on. I called them to tell them how much I hated them and told them to go to Hell, though.

    2: Trix commercials... seriously, give the rabbit some damn Trix and he'll leave you alone!

    3: OxiClean, that guy's also damned annoying. If I had a penny for everytime I've seen that guy's face on TV, I'd be rich enough to shoot him and bribe the judge and every other person in the court room.

    4: MacDonald's... they should shoot Ronald or something.

    5: Gap commercials, what's with all that damned dancing?

    The Barbie commercials get on my nerves. I gotta tell you though, i congratulate them. They actually manage to brainwash little kids into buying dolls about a princess that goes with a different guy every time. Hmmmmm.......

    I don't know if I'd say they are stupid, but they do scare me; Those new Burger King commercials. I thought the song sung by Darius Rucker from Hootie and the Blowfish in the magical land with the cowgirl on a swing being pushed by the King and then the girl saying 'Come and get it' to be scary. But then the breakfast sandwich one..where the King appears to a man at the window and hands him a breakfast sandwich then suddenly the King is surrounded by many animals...is even more insane (sorry for the long sentences).

    And I found a new one while searching the net: http://slate.msn.com/id/2107697

    I get what you mean. But also, it's so stupid, it makes it scarier than it already is. But seriously, what kind of person waits outside someone's window to give 'em a burger? Wouldn't the guy call 911, saying there's a stalker outside? Or, make sure that the sandwich (or burger) is %100 safe and healthy? *shudder*

    Almost as ironic as Tony Sirico from The Sopranos selling life insurance for an irish insurance company.

    That Mentos commercial scares me.. the one where all these different types of birds start honking and chirping.. yikes! Mentos' older commercials were cheesy but a bit humorous in the cheese factor..

    I forget. What's a "commercial" again? :p Seriously, I haven't watched TV in sooo long. I just download/buy everything I watch these days.

    I think, after so long without commercials, I'd hate them all. Time-wasting, interrupting, annoying, what good do they serve? :anger2:

    Well they serve the perpose of tring to seel somebodys product, in other words its to let people know that its there (and i'm aware that they do it 5 million times every day). But if you had a product to sell then the best way to do it is an ad on tv.

    As far as i know television regulations allow channels to show 13 minutes of ads every hour, but that may be different depending on what country your living in. And if the channels are allowed to show ads then they're going to take them since its another source of income, which means were stuck with them :sweat2: .

    Oh, I know. I was just ranting. They have their purpose, even if we all hate them, and there's nothing we can do to get rid of them.

    My response is to ignore them by not watching TV. (Not like there's ever anything good on, anyway)

    There's good television. It is difficult to find, though. I don't like any commercial. Of course, they do have a purpose, but it does nothing for me :p. I just ignore them by pressing the mute button.

    Stupid commercials? Hmmm... any sung one is stupid. They're used very often in the local television.

    Maybe in Columbia. Not in Canada, as far as I know. :mad:

    Hmm... you know, I can't even remember the last commercial I saw. I was going to describe it and say why I hated it, but... :p

    all those dolls do is end up teaching our younger generations to be superficial airheads
    that is good?
