Commercials you just will not watch during a show
I hate the Capital One no blackout one with David Spade. If no travel blackout is the only reason to get their card, it must suck big time.

18. Amen!
I hate that, and always hit the mute button! That series of commercials that have been running for some cereal (can't remember what it is) with the guy who wants another guy fired drive me up the wall.

2. There is a local commercial
for a furniture company that is constantly going out of business.

It has a guy wearing a fake mustache, sombrero and pancho singing some annoying ditty.

I hate him.

3. ARE YOU HUNGRY?!?!!? the cereal lady who screams all the time.
god, get that woman a microphone so she can whisper her lines. and a second the call for eating/mouth noises.

and the ones where kids make a godawful mess, like spilling an entire carton of milk filling a glass or dipping their arm in a glass of it. I never did that shit as a kid- do people think that's cute? Irritates the shit out of me.

and I gag if I watch a Jello commercial.

With those little dermatophites or whatever they're called that flip the toenail up. I cringe every time.

21. That's for Quiznoes, they had that screaming thumb or something
horrible ad agency, horribly made and expensive sandwiches. For the same price of one of their weighed portion reg. size sandwiches, I can get a double twice as heavy from the real sandwich shop.


People eat that crap, I do not understand.

27. Agreed..

10. Any H2 commercial
H2's suckiness is infinite. The only thing they could possibly be useful for is as filler for a levee.

13.  We don't watch or listen to any of them.
They're a waste of our lives and time we won't regain.

14. Oh, I hate that one!
David Spade always impressed me as snide, and that commercial really capitalizes on that offensive quality.

15. Yes, that one sucks but I hate the Captial One com. with the huns
more. I always change the channel when they come in.

I was in a focus group for the Chase Love the Double commercial, so I get happy when that comes on and I tell my husband for the millionth time that that was the one I picked.

25. My dear aquaman!
We have Tivo also, and like you, have not seen a commercial in a very long time....

Probably more than a year.......we've had the Tivo nearly four years now, and don't know how we lived without it!

17. I tune most of them out,however I do like the one
with the dude from Ballroom dancing who says "they treat me like the sultan of papamoumou." that one cracks me up every time.

I hate the internet commercial with Dennis Miller. That republican shrill makes my blood run cold.

20. I just saw a very cool one
with Andrea Agasi and Steffi Graf Very playing weird tennis very cool. And one of my all time favorites is the Poweraide one with the three weird sports, hand walking on those treadmills, slingshot body through the goal post, and big wheel drag racing. They have 30 sec. individual ones, a one minute one, and a GREAT 2 minute one that makes you laugh like hell when the parachute on the big wheel catches on fire.

23. Bookmarked
I have a bunch of old tapes stashed from the late 70's and the 80's of commercials. Many of which were some of the best in history, and I didn't record one that sucked. Have them in storage, have to get them out again and put them on disk.

24. Anything featuring a pissed-off, screaming Scotsman.
It was funny for maybe a minute when Mike Meyers did it, but not anymore.

I think it's more of a problem in Canada.

26. This local car dealership...
The owner does these cheap commercials, he screams at the top of his lungs or sings these terrible songs. Oh my god, they are so horrible. He talked about running for mayor but I guess it didn't get off the ground, thank god.

28. 'Eat Steak, Eat Steak, Eat A Big Ole Steer'
That has me reaching for the TV remote no matter what program it's advertising on. I want to puke not only from the twangy accent but from the scenes of women and men stuffing meat into their mouths and masticating it for our enjoyment.

30. Those fuckers don't know truth, 6 months and dead, 50/50 chance
I wish the networks would show "what 2000 looks like" once a night. That would be true fair and balanced.
