33. The Cat in the Hat totally creeps me out!
That tail? That bizarre laugh? Ick!

Reminds me of that episode of CSI where they were investigating the murder of a guy who got off on dressing up in a full fur suit and going to conventions where everyone interacted by pretending to be animals. Seriously. When they did testing on his furry suit, they found evidence of semen all over the crotch of it! Bleeaaaggghhh!

:scared:

"Highh - Ahhm Patsy from the scooooter store!"

It's a bad sign of the times in Murka, and it's been running for almost a year. I've removed all heavy objects from the coffee table.

"Who will enter? Who will drop out? Can the president win Florida... again? At MSNBC, we'll continue to give you More Facts, More Angles."

15. I am a soccer fan
and my daughter plays. We LOVE to watch Fox Sports World late because we get an English Premier league game. It's great except..........

Come halftime without fail they go to commercial. What do we get? Girls Gone Wild! Up comes the halter, down go the pants. Boobs and butts shaking just for you. It pisses me off being a soccer fan and having to put up with this. My daughter is coming to associate soccer with drunken college sluts. And Snoop whatever the fuck his name is is gonna get the ass-kicking of his life if I ever meet that asshole......

Edited on Mon Dec-22-03 06:30 AM by northwest
...where they're at that rich snobby party and start rhyming so retardedly that Seuss would spin in his grave if he saw that crap.

That shit commercial makes me want to puke, and annoys me to no end. It plays frequently on Nick at Nite, and it makes me just want to pull an Elvis on my TV.

What woman would even care? Those slobs will probably never go home with a woman.

Sharper Image ads for the "Ionic Whatever," if your house smells that bad, there's no hope.

23. The one they run on CNN every morning at every break.
It's the business credit card that earns you airline miles. Where the wife runs down the stairs and says, "How about the Caribbean?" Then "Mexico" where does a cha-cha. And then they both shout "Hawaii!"
That thing has been running for years. The company must have signed a life-long ad contact.

Where the man is walking out of his office and the staff is trying to figure out what's different about him. Maybe it's the massive woodie he's leaning against.

the anti-marjuana commercials making it seem like everyone who smokes a joint goes through a drive through killing a kid.
And the "legal" drug ads that recite the hundreds of side effects which will problably cause you more problems then the original problem you took the damn pill to fix.

And I particularly hate when they take a current popular song and rearrange it enough that they don't have to pay royalties. They've been doing that since "Life is a Highway", and it pisses me off (although seeing Tom Cochrane being exploited made me feel much, much better)

Somebody really needs to record the soundtrack of that Army recruitment ad and give it new visuals from Iraq.

That one with all the people moaning about how they had the idea for the Clapper and other As Seen on TV gizmos first and could have been rich if they'd only patented them.

74. The Talking Eye
It gives me the willies, and I have to mute while averting my eyes.

75. Local furniture/appliance store ads.
Low-fi video combined with some shrill, bombastic carnival barker promising I won't pay a cent until 2079. A duet of pleasures....

Is this a Canadian thing, or do you guys get that, too?

84. ours are similiar
We got the low fi video, but with some guy absolutely screaming at the top of his lungs. Its so loud you'd swear his throat was bleeding after one take. All threw the ad, screaming and screaming, and repeating the name of the store about 50 times.

The ads ran for about 12 years, might have been longer, they were running when I moved here. I no longer hear them anymore, but that could be because I rarely watch TV anymore. The ads actually kept me out of the store, which is a good thing. If I ever saw the guy who did the screaming, I'd punch him square in the throat and hopefully collapse his trachia.

Local dealership commercials are also bad, but laughable in the pathetic production values. They have no dignity at all.

80. It's worse on the radio...
They do this one on the radio, too. Those high pitched squeaky voices are at just the correct frequency to drive a guy batshit crazy.
