Worst Television Commercials

I hate the TV commercials that are about certain medications but they don't tell you what the medications are for!!

And then, they go on with this list of side effects that may occur including: nosebleed, headache, abdominal cramping, nausea, dry mouth and insomnia!!
THAT'S A MEDICINE??!!

Also, I don't like the one with the women holding their shirts up with different phrases written on their bellies...another medicine ad!!

Which commercials drive you nuts!!??

peace,train

I don't like the new Swiffer commercials that use the tune of the song "WHIP IT." They have ruined that song for me forever...

I hate and I mean hate the commercials I think are for a car, where they take the husband/father out to the wolves as thats who raised him, and he runs with them like an idiot. Then there was another again with wolves where a guy runs out to them and literaly feeds from the breast of one, it was gross and I think it was for Subway or a sub restaruant of some sort!

I've never seen THAT wolf commercial :p

I also don't like the car dealership commercials where the announcer is absolutely yelling at people. Doesn't make me want to go anywhere NEAR that particular showroom!

"I just saved a bunch of money..."

They are so cheesy!

Geico hasn't had a good commercial since they lost the talking Gecko.

I HATE the clairol Herbal Essence shampoo commercials -- the ones where the women sound like they should be in a porno rather than a commercial... I actually sent an email to clairol and told them that it's pretty sad when I'm embarrassed to watch a shampoo commercial with my kids.... they wrote me back and said that obviously some ads don't appeal to everyone and they're sorry if they've offended me. It's not about being offended, it's that "sex sells" mentality that's corrupting our children at such a young age! Give me a break.... it's shampoo!!!

I agree with everyone about their dislikes!

The one I don't like, is the Hamburger Helper commercial. The voice over says that the new Hamburger Helper tastes thicker and creamier. All I can think is "thicker" and "creamier" are not tastes, they are textures. I know it is kind of picky, but I think it every time I see it anyway!

My two cents!

Also... I hate the yogurt commercials with the 2 girls talking about how good it tastes ... "this is shoe shopping good.... I'd like to thank the academy good"
I don't know why, it just irritates me!
