Who else hates these damn ads? Some wannabe cowboy doing what most cowboys do...strum the damn guitar without it being plugged in. Sitting around the barn, riding a horse, smacking that guitar around out by the barn. Some crap about..."we'll even change your oil" or some shiz...

LAME!!!!! :roll:

What commercials drive you nuts?

Yah, those are annoying. I seriously don't get the cowboy thing. I guess red necks need tires too, but only on the cars that run.

Most of mine are radio commercials

Any commercial by Tom Shane, he has a five sylable limit. I will stop whatever I'm doing (and I mean whatever) to get Tom Shane off my radio. Sometimes it takes longer than that, even when I'm right by the radio. Something about his voice sends me into "deer in the headlights" mode. My brain is saying "IT'S TOM SHANE; CHANGE THE CHANNEL, CHANGE THE CHANNEL, CHANGE THE CHANNEL!" but my finger just won't moved, even though it's on the button. His voice could be very effective in a standoff if the FBI just had a way to protect themselves from it. "The suspect has crouched into the fetal position and is muttering something. Move in, MOVE IN."

Super Dell was on the list while he was still a pseudo celebrity. He had a three sylable limit.

Any of those stupid song parodies by First Class Cars get changed immediately. Actually most car commercials annoy me. The "help, I'm stuck!" commercials are just half a length behind First Class Cars.

I could go on, and probably will at some point.

As one that works in the advertiising community, I come across some really annoying crap, and some really funny stuff.

This is one of our clients:

I'm also a big fan of this (reminds me of what I do daily)

I think they want people to think the cowboy who really can't play the guitar is Toby Keith to attract more service...... it's too obvious it's not!!!

Low Book Sales commercials.

New Topic: what commercials do you love. I like the burger king ones usually. The new cell phone commercial, i think Verizon, where the family is at the table and he keeps texting his kids to pass stuff to him and the wife takes away the phone. His face is so disappointed when she tells him to give her the phone it makes me laugh every time.
