1. The obnoxious woman who does the in store Safeway ads
I work at a Safeway - all day long, I have to listen to this bitch's chirpy voice as she recites these lame-o ads for Safeway products over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.... well, you get the picture.

If I ever meet anyone whose voice remotely resembles hers, I'm afraid of what I may do.

12. I think those "Bob" commercials are a hoot!
I'd rather see those than the "I'm Bob Dole and I take viagra" ads.

But, if I'm going to manufacture Enzyte for Women, I guess I'll have to book Mrs. Bob.

13. HELL YEAH!
Edited on Mon Mar-07-05 05:48 PM by fit4life
I'd love to smack that grin off his face. I never really understood the word "smarmy" until I saw his commercials.

Beside, EHarmony won't be any better. The idiots who take that test aren't going to be brutally honest with themselves, they're going to answer the questions with the reply that most accurately represents the way they WISH they were. DAMN!

15. Of course not!
I also noticed that he's using actors to play happy couples. I never saw a disclaimer, but I recognized one guy from a Circuit City commercial he did.

Man that guy's irritating!

18. Stand by; if any of the poll replies are shut out as of 6:30, I'll edit
and add him.

Much as I dislike eHarmony and particularly their commercials, I must admit that my best friend is among those getting married because of them. As he and his intended are Jewish agnostic hippies, it kind of undercuts the argument usually advanced around here (not necessarily by you, I realize) that it only works for fundamentalist Christians. That said, I still hate 'em though.

16. Invariably shown right after I've finished my dinner and the dishes.
Edited on Mon Mar-07-05 05:55 PM by blondeatlast
Just
before the food has completely digested.

Worst commercial ever.

I long for the days when prescription drugs were, what's the word?--oh, yeah. PRESCRIBED. By a smart person with an advanced degree.

Edit: HTML issues...

28. Easy--she's too damn skinny to take Leptropin!
That whole commercial is icky. Why is a skinny-assed wretch telling me about a fat pill? Why must she pace? What's with her eyes? Why didn't she go to the salon before making the commercial?

Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepyyyyyyyy...

21. The alien bitch just cheeses me off
when she says that if I just take a pill I can't afford will help me lose weight. If I also diet and exercise regularly.

Well, Beeyatch, if I could diet and exercise regularly I wouldn't need your fucking diet pill.

And his exercise equipment. Always looks to me like his head has been Photoshopped onto someone else's body.

I'm also ready to slap the "Video Professor" guy.

33. He always gets mentioned (twice here) but I've never seen him
Maybe he's regional, or maybe they don't put him on the nerd channels. I'll take your word for it that he's supremely annoying, though.

The Cortislim guy is an asshole too, along with that space alien lady. I like the MasterCard commercials, and I have no beef with the Ditech guy.

Wilford Brimley is above reproach, and I will speak no ill against him.

Sorry; that was just me being cynical, but it is a creepy commercial.
