As a former waitress, I can totally relate to the Geico mayo commercial. There were plenty of times I wanted to do that.

I really don't like the Orbit gum commercials. There are also some really annoying gas or oil heat commercials with the family wrapped in plastic. Very dumb.

Have you seen the commercial where there is this couple in the desert. You think its a Calvin Klein colonge commercial. The couple are caressing each other and hugging. The man is saying, 'she can't resist my touch!" "I am a glorious man!" Then comes this car(toyota) and throws sand all over them. Funny!!!!

Annoying commercial? The Got MIlk commercial where there is this kid standing outside a store and he is gurgling milk. Then he pours some chocolate syrup and some milk into his mouth and starts gurgling again. I also don't like the other one where this man is in this chocolate shop and he gets a nicely decorated chocolate. The lady puts it in a little bag. Then, the man starts smashing the chocolate. Then pours the pieces into a bottle of milk then shakes it.

The one with the landrover is annoying too. Where the man sees the landrover and says, Take me with you?

The energizer bunny is one that I really hate too.

There is one the other day that i saw that has the message it is okay for kids to lie to their parents. I can't remember exactly how it went, but hubby and i just looked at each other like "what the heck?" Anyone know which one I might mean?

Was it the cell phone commercial where the parents want the girl home by a certain hour and they give her a cell phone to know of her whereabouts. The phone is taped to her waist. She is out dancing and the boy asks what is her name? And the dad who is on the other phone says, she is not old enough. Then the girl and boy are out kissing in her car and she has the phone taped to the speakers playing the same music as at the dance. The dad says, does that song ever end?

Have you seen the Zap commercial where the man goes into the couples' house and he tells them that the bathroom is going to take a long time. As soon as they leave, he uses the zap soap and is done quickly. He watches tv, swims in the pool(hot tub), and plays in teh computer. He has his shorts on and is eating the food. I personally think that is bad manners!

I just saw the worst commercial! It was for Vagisil. It showed 3 women sitting around looking all serious, and the narrator says "Some things are just easier if you share them. Even painful, burning itch!" What?? Share?? That?? EEEWWWWW!!

I hate all those "female" commercials. There are so many commercials on about vaginal odor, itching, infections, I swear, men must think we are always having problems!

This one really bugs me. I like those Parents the Anti-Drug commercials, but this one just misses the mark. It shows some kids (really young looking) in a movie theater, cell phone rings, and he doesn't answer it. Then it shows this young little girl, the one who called, and it says "You're stuck at home while your friends are out having fun because you got caught smoking pot.". I know where they're trying to go with this, but one, they are sooo young! I guess that's the age to start reaching kids though. But it just sounds like a message to not get caught. I mean, if those are her friends, aren't they smoking pot? And they're okay because they didn't get caught?

Personally, I hate the commercial for salsa that has a woman at a party pouring salsa into a bowl. She goes to throw it out, changes her mind, rinses it out, almost pours the liquid out, then DRINKS it!
I love salsa (great on scrambled eggs and rice), but I have to change the channel or turn the TV off when that one comes on. It makes me physically ill.

I also hate that one cell phone commercial with the little hussy in the purple dress. Like any decent parent would let their child out of the house in that outfit with or without a chaparone! The only time my parents let me out of the house looking like a two-bit hooker was Halloween - and I still wore more than that girl!

I have to say, I like the ones with the talking bull and bear for some online brokerage. Those are really smart commercials. I love that line that the bear says "Well, no one likes a talking steak."

I know what you guys mean about the feminine products commercials...I hate those too!!

A friend of mine told me she was watching TV with her step-son who is about 9 years old or so, and one of those dumb commercials came on and he turns around and says....Whats a yeast infection????
Well since there were others in the room, and she didn't know what to say, she told him, "it's something you get from eating too much bread!" Hahahah!!!! THAT was a good one! He didn't ask anymore questions either.

I can think of a lot of annoying commercials on tv, but some of the ones on the radio are just as bad. There is this one on the station that we listen to & it has to do with getting tested for std's & goes something like ".... before your penis falls off, get tested"
Sometimes, the replay it 2 times in a row!

LOL Tigger-that's pretty funny.
A little straight forward but still funny.

I know what you mean by the radio commercials being the worst. There's this one they play all the time around here that's advertising for Cape and islands glass. It's a woman "rapping" in a mono toned voice during the commercial and it goes like this "Glass, Cape and Islands Glass, that's glass, Cape and Islands Glass."


I won't really get into the subject of Carrottop other than the fact that everytime his commercials come on I change the channel.:indiffere
