The Most Annoying Ad EVER

What's the most annoying ad that you've ever seen, the ad that's boring, stupid, repetitive and not funny even to the slightest degree? Personally, I hate those Bowflex Commericials. At least diet pill commericials have terrible acting you can laugh at.

Any commercial that is repeated twice in one show. Double commercials (That Bell Helmet one with Evel Knievl), those 'Get rich quick!' ones.

Internet adds are starting to get bad to. ESPECIALY the ones with sound. My GOD those are annoying.
I saw one on Jolt once, the 'Shoot the Papperazi and win!' one with the camera 'click' noise every two seconds.

EDIT:
And Ovaltine.
They arent very common, but they grate like a cat being dragged across a chalkboard.

EDIT2:
And Ill agree with Sdaeriji, Enzite and Cialis need to BURN.

95% of them. Used to be 99%, so I guess things are improving as the Coke (and I don't mean the cola) Generation dies off or get promoted above creative decisions. I'm starting to see the influence of the E-Generation pop-up in many commercials.

Just what the hell is "natural Male Enhancement" anyway. They'd never get away with that kind of dodgy advertising in Canada (ie: not actually sayin what the product IS and supposed to do) If its a sort of Viagra, well ho-hum. If its soem kind of "size matters" type thing, I doubt it works. If it actually does work, then I say NO FAIR. Isn't it enough that any yob with enough money can fake interesting eye colours with contacts, when previously it was only those of us born that way who reaped the benefits. It dilutes things to much, I tells ya! Makes the once rare and special a hum-drum everyday thing.

Ever seen the commercials for those little 'professional wart-freezers'?
It shows the 'mom' freezing off the wart, and the kid goes 'Thanks mom, that was fun!'.
Seriously. Having warts frozen off hurts like hell. No kid is going to thank you for freezing one.

This fuckin' joke of a restaurant called "The Iron Lantern" in Vermont. I mean, the voice-over guy sounds totally depressed, the customers look like they just got out of the Gulag and they were chained to the tables and forced to eat their own shit by repressive and sadistic guards armed with electric sticks.

The dining room looks cozy, which means it looks like your uncle's basement from the 1970s with a moose head, plaster stucco ceiling and ugly square tables. This place is a futher proof that fire prevention laws should be abolished.

And they show this commercial, like, 3 times an hour, just to make sure we see how bland and depressing the food looks in the plates. Zoom in on grey goo (cheese? phlegm? the moose's semen?), with something that looks like chicken with tuberculosis floating underneath. Add mashed potatoes (or is it plaster?) and emo broccoli. Come on.

Oh, and they mention that "kids and talking are allowed in the dining room".
WTF???????

I haven't seen that one yet, I reckon we're thinking of the same kid here.

Seriously the ads they show are so unfunny they make you cry. There has only benn ONE funny ad for all of 2005, the No Gary No ad.

It's some drug that supposedly increases the size of a man's penis. The primary ingrediant in it is also in a large number of workout supplements, a few of which I take. I can't say I've noticed an increase.

I hate those "Kiwi kids are Weetbix kids" ads, especially as in Australia they say "Aussie kids are Weetbix kids". Then there is Aussie BrandPower ads, because they don't have a hot chick like the NZ BrandPower ads.

I actually like saying rude words to the tune of the ads, like Sultana Bran and it feels good to have the most stupid ads sound naughty.

In my town it seems like there is only one actress that does all the ads in the area. Except for the Knox Roofing ads, and she should do those just to get Knox out of the ads-that dude is just obnoxious.

The only ad bugging me right now is the one where the three big Cadillacs roll through town and melt the ice in an ice truck-mostly because I don't think they get the implication. Theirs is that the cars are red hot. That's not what I'm taking out of it.

Ugh, when I lived in the glorious :rolleyes: Viriginia my radio was regularly assaulted by this horrible ad company. I'm not sure who they are, but they do car commercials with no acting talent, no scripting effort, and nothing humorous. I believe their key focus was/is "J.W. Auto Sales". My brain has suffered severe scarring, and now I will never get those horrible abortions of audio waves out of my skull.
Oh, and male enhacnement drugs annoy/amuse me. I still haven't figured out why generic man without male enhancement has a better golf game after some *ahem-ahem* rennovation of the lower portion. Being an asexual nongolfer (and therefore completely at a loss as far as carnal/golfing knowledge goes), can anyone tell me if the size of your "stick shift" really does affect your driving?

Male enhance drugs wouldn't work unless you stuck it in a syringe and injected it into your human syrange. I don't think any dude wants to stick a needle in their needle.

But not according to the advertising wizards, oh no, we have MAGIC nasal sprays which use MAGIC to send their MAGIC drugs from your nose all the way to your penis with MAGIC! Holy smeg I have to go buy 65 of those! Their MAGIC!

You see people wandering around a feild of flowers, everything is the same color as the pill, or some kids running to their grandparent in a wheel chair, and hear some lame music, and at the end everyone looks upward at the sky or to the camera or whatever. And the music is really lame, and they ay "Ask your doctor if ______ is right for you," without ever really telling you what the drug does.

Sorry, time's up. Know the name of it? Give up? The correct answer is: every obscure prescription medication ever. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME

There are a couple of ads, mostly on late at night (I'm kind of a night owl. . .usual sleep time for me is 3:30 AM).

The first is a "natural" supplement that is supposed to enhance memory. I remember it for two reasons. The first is that they send the first bottle to you free (my guess is that the active ingredient is opium). The second is that there is one spectacularly retarded woman shilling for this product who exclaims to the camera: "They're giving it away for free? It must be good!" Apparently she's not familiar with that obscure principle known as "The Law of Supply and Demand."

The second is a radio ad for a local bail-bond company here in Vegas. Suffice it to say that the ad starts off: "Do you plan on slapping your lady-friend around tonight? After all, she just won't listen." Things don't improve from there. I'm pretty close to pacifist in my leanings, but if I ever met the guy who wrote that add, I'd kneecap him with a tire iron then and there.

There are a few others, but those are the big ones I can remember now.

That entire line of McDonald's ads gets on my nerves, but a new ad is pissing me off right now. It's for Miller or some beer, and it contains a person called "Lady Liberty" (4th of July theme) with a crappy Jamaican accent talking to some other guy about the product. Anyone who has heard the ad will know what I'm talking about.

However, the one which has not only annoyed buy scared me is for Raceway Park. It's local to New Jersey and the surrounding areas, and contains the single most creepy, terrifying, traumatizing laugh. EVER!

That evil cackle followed by "Raceway Park!" gives me nightmares. According to my dad they've been using it for over 40 years so not only is it scary, but unoriginal.

Then theres the bit at the end warning about possible side effecs, a little voiceover sped up to what must be at least 250 BPM.

I always mute and do my own voice over:
Caution, may cause pulmonary edema, daiper rash, sexual longings for toy poodles, chronic and sometimes fatal nosepicking, complete mental retardation, and spontaneous human combustion. Some users have reported an urge to urinate on fire hydrants. Users over the age of 18 should consult their doctor regarding interactions with alcohol that have included running around naked humping the exhaust pipes of SUVS, a desire to swim with the fishies and an unshakable and fervent belief that grass is in fact bright red in colour. Othe side effects include the wearing of tinfoil hats and beleiving politicians. Do not take if you are not brain dead or planning a vaction to Buttfuck, Idaho. Results may vary, ask your quack for details.

Mine's not really a commercial, but a news segment. Each week the local news station brings us the health department reports from our area...

And they annouce it like the friggin' stock market.

McDonald's went down three points because employees fail to wash their hands after digging through the compost heap they get the chicken nuggets from.

Dairy Queen went up a point and a half now that they have removed all the lizard tails from the salads.

Red Lobster did amazingly well this month, having gone up a startling thity points now that they have removed the toxic waste from the lobster tanks, and by discontinuing the use of the complimentary "salmonella glaze" from their appetizers. Employees are also now required to dunk their head into the now mutating lobster tanks if they fail in some aspect of their cleaning duties.

Hee. I was going to mention that woman, who also amuses/annoys me, but you got there first. One wonders if the same principle works in reverse: "This new sports car costs $80,000? It must suck!"

As for annoying commercials, I think it's something of a tie between penis drugs and feminine hygiene products, the first for the perpetual annoying Freudian symbolism (Now that I've taken Cialis, I can throw a football right through a tire!) and massive TMI factor, and the second for their bizarre need to make tampons into some sort of meaningful experience. (Has anyone outside of a commercial ever walked on a beach with their mother while discussing the importance of "freshness"? Anyone? I didn't think so.)

Of course, one of my favorite lines from any commercial came from one of the early Viagra ads, where they showed a head shot of a smiling man with the voice-over, "THIS is the face...of erectile dysfunction." I always wondered how much that actor was paid to be "the face of erectile dysfunction." To this day, I suspect when he walks into a room, his friends say, "Look, everyone! It's the Face of Erectile Dysfunction! What's UP with you, man? Ha ha ha!"

If Enzite and the other various penis aids truly worked well, they wouldnt have to advertize them at all. They would have to be held a secret locations and rationed out as the demand would far exceed the supply no matter what the cost.
And half the men taking it would overdose and either suffer the OD symptoms or walk around with a foot of hard wood in their pants all day.

Those Viagra commercials with that old guy singing "I Did It My Way" in the shower in the most offkey and annoying voice ever.

Intel had one during the Super Bowl a coupla years ago that featured space-suited nerds dancing around to some lame dance track.

it was sooooooooooooooooooooo lame.

-----------------------

funniest commercial:

the budweiser commercial featuring the hamster that generated all the electricity in the city

the lights were shown to have gone out in a city... they zoom in to this little room with nothing but a hamster in a wheel and a bottle of bud on the table next to it.

someone walks in and turns the label of the Bud bottle toward the hamster... and the hamster starts running.

and the lights go back on in the city.

i was eating when that came on, and i laughed so hard that i nearly choked

btw

if you think that an ad is lame or it just doesn';t interest you at all.. chances are that the advertisers don't give a damn, since you're probably not in the target demographic.

if you are in the target demographic and you think it sucked (especially if you commiserate with peers and they also think it sucks...), then the advertisers have made an advertising blunder.

Beyond that, when i'm sitting down to eat and a diarrhea medicine ad comes on... that just pisses me off. "You mind? I'm trying to eat here, dumbass!"

Haha, those "Jokes to your phone" things.

"They'll make your sense of humor even better!"

I don't know about you guys, but I know that I'm totally gonna hit those up, because, how else will I ever get any friends?

I will open my phone and tell them this "WHY WAS 6 AFRAID OF 7? CUZ 7 ATE 9 LOLOLOLOLOROFFLRO!!!!1" At which time they are likely to reply,

"You must have been cursed with the funny bone from hell, because you are fucking hilarious"

I especially love the generic clip-art of people laughing.

What a perfect thing to go with my polyphonic rap ringtone, and my "I B PIMPIN" wallpaper!

I hate those adverts for sad songs. It's like That's What I Call Tearjerking 74 OUT NOW! and then you hear these clips of depressing songs which all sound like a cat yowling while I retard translates "My girlfriend just left me...blah blah blah". Apparently people actually BUY this stuff.

As for the NSPCC ads...don't get me started. I've nothing actually against them, apart from the fact that when I was young they shit-scared me and one actually made me ill. Hot and cold, shaking, almost puked...is that not child abuse on it's own?

Also, the music channels seem to have constant ringtone adverts, even the ones without ads. Have you noticed the way they all copy each other? Jamster gets out another annoying character and within days they all have that tune. It makes me wonder if they're not all one company trying to get more money.
And one joke on your phone ad merely featured a cartoon of a guy standing on stage with his mobile in front of a crowd. He points to his phone, says "Joke" and everyone laughs. I'm not paying £100 (or whatever ridiculous price) for getting a text which merely says "Joke".
Oh, and stop charging so damn much for ringtone subscriptions we only got for the one ringtone! One annoyance isn't enough, see--no, they must secretly subscribe you so they can ram more of them down your throat!

The most annoying ads are really those Napster ads! You know the ones where they show the iPod with the apple music service and how it costs so much less to fill a music player with Napster. But the backround people singing "do the math" drives me nuts. Plus, no one wants to rent music!

All the Enzyte commercials annoy me equally.

The Enzyte Commercials wouldn't be so creepy to me if I had never watched Batman in the first place. Poisoning the enhancement market would be a psychological blow to men across the world. :D

The commercials that really annoy me are the early Sonic ads, with those two jackasses pulling up at the drive through sections of other fast food joints and giving the presumably stressed out tellers even more of a hard time.

If I had been working at one of those places, I would have told the teller to stall them, go out the back door with a handgun loaded with blanks, and just open fire on them screaming "THIS ISN'T SONIC YOU BASTARDS!! THIS IS (Name of Restaurant)!! Damn, I need to reload..."
