Answer 3

I really wish they would remove the "KY" commercials. They are becoming a little too out spoken with what this product is used for. When this particular commercial came on my thirteen year old said "Hey Mom, you have some of that." I almost died!! I of course, with a very red face, remained silent. But the kids were staring at me, like they were waiting for an explanation. This situation was silent but deadly!!! And then it happened! Because of my need to recuse myself I said that the stuff was used to give their Dad a back massage!! That did it! My teens lost it!!!! The laughter was heard a block away!! Mothers every where implore you to remove these commercials!!!!!

Answer 4

From Australia here but I'll give it a go as there are a few I would like to see banned from the small screen forever...

1. Vista Blinds - the woman drives me mad and seriously needs a good kick in the face. I would cheerfully strangle her with her damn red and blue Vista blinds and I would make the pain last hours.

2. The slutty 'Call me... call me now' ads. Ugh. All the women look so skanky and really, we all know that it's some old 80 year old bag on the other end of the line whose only doing 'phone porn' ads because she can't live soley on the pension.

3. Mobile screen wallpaper ads and mobile ringtone ads - Stop. Just stop right now! No-one wants a one hit wonder's song as their ringtone nor do they want to see some fluffy kitten constantly licking their mobile phone screen. Gross.

4. Subway ads. - the new ones with that virtually unemployable moron from City Slickers 2 is actually worse than that boring twonker Jarad.

5. Any of the Home Loan ads that claim they 'care' about their customers - Ummm, no you don't care about your customers, you only care about what price you'll be getting when they default on the loan and you sell their brand new 3 month old home right from under them.

6. The brand smart ads - I *loathe* that woman, plus she's a real smary bitca. Why would we spend money on expensive products when we can get the same thing for half price lablled a 'homebrand'. Do the companies really think that by shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars for these dumbarse ads, people will suddenly become convinced that it's a good thing to spend double the price on a product simply because it's got a 'name' lable? Ludicrous.

7. Any ads that have been done by a company director/owner. For gods sake people, if you are going to make the decision to advertise your production on national tv, then trust me, spending a few thousand more on a professional actor to really sell the product is going to be a very wise investment. No matter how successful a company director or owner is with finances, in no way shape or form does it mean they are capable of presenting themselves adequately infront of a camera.

At best, they will come across as a extremely shoddy used car salesman and in the worst case scenario, look like they have just escaped from San Quentien/Pentridge after going on a rampage and stabbing 3 prisoners and killing 5 guards.

Ugh, there are heaps more ads that I absolutely loathe and spout off about but I'm too damn tired to name them all right now.

Answer 5

Head on is pretty horrible. I also could do without all the prescription drug commercials. There's also a commercial for Chase Manhattan bank that parody's the Mary Tyler Moore show opening. It's been on air for way too long and it's just plain obnoxious.

Answer 6

All commercials by attorneys. The Geico lizard commercials. The worst: The Dunkin Donuts commercial with the mom and her 5 kids in the van. I think it's finally gone.

Answer 7

If u were in Singapore, you would wish all but a handful of them to spare. It is so worse and I believe Singapore people do their commercials in their backyard - avoiding expenses by all means. There r so many ads which r of very poor taste, and it clearly shows a professional was not involved in the making. Am not talking about any unknown brand. Am talking about even the famous brands with franchisees here. arghhh very disgusting pronounciation, background, lighting, people, the context, punch lines, etc etc da*n if I get atleast one of those who made those...don't know what I will do !!

Answer 8

What is it, Office Depot or Office Max, can't remember. The hand coming out of the box.

And yes, the Geiko cavemen. Never liked them.

And the Head On commercial is a great example.

Answer 9

Political

Answer 10

Taco Bell the commercial announcer has the worst and dumbest fake Mexican accent ever.

Answer 11
