What TV commercials do you just hate?

What kinds of commercials drive you crazy? Which are the ones that make no sense, or are just too silly to even be funny? How about the ones that are embarrassing?

There are 2 commercials running right now that I cannot stand...

The one where the fish plaque is singing "Give me back that fillet of fish"--I'm not even sure what company that is, I don't listen to it past the first words!

The second is a new one from Comcast and it's monotone. I cannot stand it!!

The AT&T commercials with the two guys, one guy is just really whiney and stupid.

Any Burger King commercial... the Burger King guy is creepy and the commercials way insult my intelligence level to where I just want to throw something at the TV.

And the newest subway commercial where they do some kind of break dancing singing $5.00 footlongs.

I'm sure there are more but those three just irritate me to no end.

And one that I love!!

Nationwide Insurance I think it is, this old couple has a big old mint condition Lincoln I think? lime green. This young guy goes to pull in next to them and accidently hits their car. He gets out and apologizes and the old lady gets out of the car like she's smiling and said "I got your forgiveness" and starts banging him upside the head with her purse. Her husband says "hit him in the head Rose". And then it says "Nationwide is more forgiving". Very cute, makes me chuckle every time I see it.

I can't stand most of the commercials. Some of them are just plain stupid. There aren't any I like.

Tami, I just saw that McDonald's fish sandwich commercial today! I thought it was kind of funny.

I hate those "Mother Nature" commercials for tampons. Actually, I hate all the "feminine product" commercials. Too much information!

I truly hate the one with the fish plaque singing and the Progressive Insurance ones. I can't stand that woman.
I don't like any of the feminine hygiene products and none of the sexual ones for condoms or KY Jelly. I don't think that stuff should be in TV commericals. Kids don't need to see that crap.

I agree there are some that are just so stupid, it's unbelievable. And to think people get paid for these really dumb ideas.

I can't think of any right off hand that I think are funny or that I like.
