Comericals that I hate.

Do you have comericals that you hate? I mean that you really hate. So much so that you will never buy the product? I do this season. Every season there are comericals that I don't like. I change the channel and let it go. But this season there are ones that make me livid.One is the V8 comerical where a person asks did you have your vegetables? And when they say they haven't, the person hits them and the announcer says you should have had a V8.First it isn't anybody's business if I had or didn't had vegetables. Second, I was raised that if someone hits me, I have the right to hit them back.So they would hit me and they would have ended up in the hospital and I would have ended up in jail. And then there is the Visa comerical where people are getting in and out of line because the person in front of them is using cash instead of a Visa card.Are you kidding me. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't change what I want to eat just because of the person in front of me.And the comerical is a total lie. Anyone who uses a card knows that it takes a little longer to pay with a credit card. You have to wait for it to be approved.Unlike V8, I couldn't just not use my Visa card , so I wrote Visa and told them that their new comerical is having the opposite effect. It makes me want to use cash more.I felt better after that.

The commercials I can't stand are the geico ones. They have wayyyy to many, I mean they have the caveman, the gecko, the random people, and now they're doing ones with 60's or 70's TV characters.

I can't think of any current TV commercials that really annoy me (but give me time and I'm sure I'll come up with a few) but there are certain radio ones that drive me mad. There's one that is selling double glazing and every time it comes on the radio I switch over stations, so basically they're losing me as a listener every time it comes on. It's so annoying that I want to scream and the funny thing is it has no effect on me whatsoever in that I can't even say what the company is because I don't listen to it and switch over stations as soon as it comes on. My husband says the same thing as do other friends in the local area who listen to the same local radio station.
Ah now I remember this very annoying advert for car insurance where like 5 people in a row have an accident, well one person hits one car and there's a chain reaction with others cars hitting him from behind. The presenter is so annoying I want to throw a brick at my TV when it's on and the catchphrase is just pathetic. Again this just makes me switch over channels!

That is the thing to do. That way the show loses some money because you change the channels. Does this happen to you? A comerical that you hate comes on and you change the channel or station and you find something better than the first show you were watching or listening to so you stay on the new channel? I have had this happen to me many times. That means that the show is losing viewership all because of a stupid comerical.

I hate the head on headache commercials. I am also beginning to hate the Geicho Gicho (not the Cavemen) commercials. The lizard is getting on my last nerve!

LOL I used to hate the commercial where they had a clothsline with a bunch of ladies thongs pinned up and in the background they played the song "Stuck in the middle with you". I just thought it was gross and nasty.
Another was of a very large overweight man wearing a tiny pair of red undies and vaccumming his floor. In a building across from his, a woman gets up in the night for a drink of water, looks through her window and sees the man vaccumming and the announcer comes on saying "Some things are better left unseen". I thought it was a stupid commercial.

I do hate most of the comericals that they have out there on TV anymore. I haven't seen comericals alot lately due to I don't have TV I just can watch Movies on my tv cause cable and everything don't run out where I live. But I don't miss any of the comericals. I even watch series of tv shows so I still can know what is going on with tv shows without comericals!!
