I browsed and found a few worst or annoying commercials, as follows:
Readers crown best, worst commercials. Hate the toenail monster; love the identity-theft ads
If you have a weak stomach, or it's early in the morning, or you're eating, whatever else you do, don't click on this link.

It shows a snippet of the ad, which features "Digger the Dermatophyte," the creepy toenail fungus monster Lamisil invented to sell their product.
Watching the commercials, in which Digger burrows under toenails, is right up there with bamboo under the fingernails torture. This ad is creeping me out just writing about it, it really is. Says Staci: "I think the thing that puts it over the edge for me is the creaky door sound effect as the 'fungus monster' lifts up the toenail.”
Viewers also complained that the medication hawked in the ads is pricey and rarely if ever covered by insurance. Perhaps Lamisil should address those issues instead of trying their creepy scare tactic.
The commercial that received the second-highest number of votes for worst commercial was a very controversial ad campaign. Readers either hated it or they loved it, but very few watchers were neutral.
Quizno's sandwich shops was shooting for that with their mutant rodent ad campaign.
Unlike the almost universally hated Lamisil ads, the Quizno's commercials seem to have made as many fans as they've lost customers.
