Commercials that should be summarily executed:
That "Summer of Life" from Just For Men

Someone please kill that fucker

Is it just me, or does that puppy just one bigassed IN YOUR FACE populated with corporate looking animated manikins?

And the old fuck on stage air guitaring with a tambourine wielding bimbo who's clearly half his age... I just hope that that was his daughter.


Oh yeah, that commercial with one for any kind of flaccid dick pill coming on right after it makes baby Jesus cry.

1. There's one for Burlington Coat Factory
where in the background they sing hysterically "Family values! Family values!"

Makes me nauseous.

7. Any of the new crop with snotty British accents.
Now, I'm an anglophile, but between the Victoria's Secret and the one with the "Rozbury and chocolatey ASIGH berries", I'm about ready to shoot somebody. How do these people sell anything? They're obnoxious.

I turn off every one that comes on or mute the TV.

11. Is that one still on?
I haven't seen it for awhile. They also did one with a guy saying how he hated it (but loved their product), and he was more even annoying than the original, IMO!

38. How about the damn SEQUEL!!!!
"Head On! I hate your commercials, but I love your product." Kinda acknowledges the utter shittiness of the original commercial, while aggrandizing it at the same time!

Pure suckitude.

10. All the ones on MSNBC.
I swear they only have about 10 commercials that they repeat ad nauseum.

Those annoy me the most... but right now it's the one with the guy and his wife in a motel (under construction) and a jackhammer noise. He keeps talking although she can't hear him. Makes me want to smash the TV.

33. I HAAAATES it
That's the one I would add. I can't even watch tv much because the commercials scare me but when I watch Star Trek every morning on TVLand I see that commercial like 4 times. And the Chuck Norris exercise commercial, and the free credit report commercial. Vonage is the one I'm the sickest of :puke:

15. All the "Just for Men" ads give me cramps.
"Hey, Bill, you may just have invented a cure for cancer, but isn't that a bit of gray hair I see at your temples? Fuck off, old-timer! We don't need your kind around here!"

Cut to scene of Bill nervously applying dye to hair, followed by:

"Wow, Bill, even though I'm an ultra-hot supermodel who can have any man she wants, you're newly varnished locks make me want to fuck your brains out! Let's go, big boy!"

Puke. Just puke.

Whenever I see that commercial, I just think of the Chris Kattan Skit on SNL, for the Antonio Banderas talk show:
"Welcome to the...How do you say?... Ah Yes! ...Show"

44. I don't see commercials anymore
I totally blank them out mentally.

It's kind of scary.

Of course, it helps that my PC is next to my computer, so I have the option of DUing during them. But even without, I just go off into my own little world.
