I used to hate those Windows 95 commercials. It took me a long time before I stopped associating "Start Me Up" with an evil monopolistic corporation bent on curbing innovation and realizing the highest profits at everyone's expense. But hey, I realize it was completely a business decision on the 'Stones part. "40 Licks" is now in my iTunes library without any such reservations.
"Have YOU been injured breaking into someone house? Has the negligence of homeowners resulted in lost earning potential for you! Then call ME. I'll FIGHT for you and get you what's fair. I'm John Mason Parker, the Legal Eagle Beagle Attorney. I fight for those who are too stupid to figure out life! Call me NOW!
1-800-LEMMESUE. That's 1-800-LEMMESUE. That number again, 1-800-LEMMESUE. Someone is there to take your call!
I'll FIGHT for you!"
Cue music, with 200mph voiceover disclaimer:
"John Mason Parker is not licensed to practice law anywhere. He attended some night courses and has a small grasp of courtroom procedings. However, he's never missed an episode of "Law & Order" and claims to have been an extra on "Night Court". No, he just has a misguided sense of justice..."
I hate the commercials for the Knicks here in NY. They make it seem like people would wanna go to MSG and watch the Knicks play. I just find the commericals annoying to see.
<strong>Old Navy commercials. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> </strong><hr></blockquote>
ah, i knew i forgot something...
that freaking family feud rippoff is the worst
also the gate"way" commercial that was mentioned is a pain in the ass also...
surprisingly, now that dell doesnt have steven, i dont mind their commercials very much.
the "ooh, ooh, ooooh" switch commercial sucks tho, that and janie porche saving christmas...plugging the firewire cables into her palms...why dont they ever show the Feiss commercial on TV?
i'm not sure how many people here watched "American Idol" on fox, but did you notice all of the singers from that show (well, the last 10) are in these commericials.
then the announcer says "with old navy everyone CAN win" or something like that. pretty funny, imho

that would be really funny...if american idol was worth watching...so i dont really care
Swatch has porno-ish commercials? i looovvvvvveeeee swatches, i own only one unfortunately but if i ever get money i'll become a collector for sure. they don't advertise in the US, and nobody really wears them....at least they aren't closely to as popular as Fossil</strong><hr></blockquote>
yes, swatch is showing pornoish commercials in italy.

i thought american idol was an interesting show. towards the beginning it was hilarious...i think they took some people passed a round or two just for comic relief, horrible, god awful singers, worse than you or me.
watching those kids develop as singers and everything was kind of interesting, as will be watching what happens with them now, despite the fickleness of it all
could you describe one, in excruciating detail?</strong><hr></blockquote>
Nudity that would not pass in US. here they don't seem to accept any women that were much more than bikinis in the tv. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> and no men men who wear less than a suit...
I hate the "Chew on this" commercials. Maybe it's my dirty mind but when a woman is in the commercial I can only think of one thing. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
You want to know why Elivis shot his TV? Cause he knew Carrot Top would be making commericals........I want to totally flip out like a ninja and kill carrot top anytime I see him on TV telling me what buttons to press.
The hotels.com commercial where the cab driver butts into the conversation and says "Hey buddy, I can get you a great deal on the Brooklyn Bridge".........
In general: all stupid-ass SUV and truck commercials that imply they handle well off road when most don't and probably less than 5% of all vehicle purchased ever leave pavement.
Also: T-Mobile commercials. I used to think Catherine Zeta Jones was hot, now I just want to smack 'er.
Thanks for reminding me. I hate those truck adds where the horses are stampeding or what ever and they have to stop to pay homage to the fscking truck. Utter crap.

I do like the AFLAC commercials. One of the few with an animal that works.
Pharmecudical commercials are the worst...these drugs all seem to make you crap in your pants...some cure.
Also the 1-800-ambulancechaser ads... <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />
