I hate the Lamisil one, you know the one with the critters going under the toenails. To get rid of toenail fungus. Can't use if you have liver problems..

That commericial makes my skin crawl when that "germ" goes under the toenail. :mad2:

Just saw the new KFC commercials. I guess after their "Kitchen Fresh Chicken" promo bombed they just didn't get it. Right wing, left wing WHAT? That commercial is not only annoying it also looks like some kind of campaign commercial for Chicken?

I hate it but It's funny. It's the one for identity protection with the voices switched. There is an asian lady who looks like a dental assistant talking but her voice is a guy who sounds like a real lounge lizard. I think his name is Larry. He talks about going down to tijuana to see the "ladeeez" but first he has to "wax the old Chassis for the ladeez" and just at that point, she looks "Way Down There", then comes the big smile and a totally disgusting Whooof Whooof Whoof laugh...EEEEWWWW!!

But I still Laugh every time I see it.

The Cialis commercial: Although a rare occurrence, men who experience an erection for more than 4 hours should seek immediate medical attention.

I hate any commercial that has people actually eating in it. I don't know why. But I do remember a commercial for Charleston Chew when I was a kid. It featured a boy chewing the candy with his mouth wide open. Can't get over it - I guess. And I REALLY hated that Bob Dole spot for Viagra. What was he thinking? In fact, I think I hate any commercial that forces me to engage in thought about strangers bodily functions. Hemmoroids, bleeding,
whining, hacking, herpe-ridden folks running on beaches, middle-aged women being intimate with me about their fart problems, acid reflux victims - jeez. Is something wrong with me? :cry: :cry:

I don't like the one where the man says GURTHY. HE'S HAS A BARBEQUE GRILL IN FRONT OF HIM AND SAYS " GURTHY GGGGGGGGGGUUUURRRRRTHYYYYYYYYYY UGH!

The one for yeast infections where the three women are sitting around having an in depth talk about the one woman's yeast infection then later they are all in their pjs giggling and eating ice cream....um what 40 yr old women have sleep overs and talk about their feminine problems??? :rolleyes: yea..don't you do that all the time w/your girlfriends.. :worry:

I don't like the "heartburn, indigestion, sour stomach, diarrhea oh Pepto Bismol.." one (I think that is how it goes) with the ppl in the office lined up like they are doing the Macarena but they are touching their bodies where they have the "problems"....um yuck.

Oh yea, if you live in GA....I hate the New Freedom mortgage with Pamela Burch, "President of New Freedom Mortgage". She is wearing a shiny red satin "disco" shirt and has long stringy very bleached hair and glasses....I don't know why she gets on my last nerve...if she is the president couldn't someone show her how to dress better and style her hair? I really feel sorry for her...

Ok I am done.

The "check into cash" commercials where they make the checkmark motion with their hands as they mouth the words "check into cash". That commercial is just annoying and I swear they must make that hand motion 100x's in that commercial. I heard it on the radio the other day and it gave me violent flashbacks! AAARRGGGHHH :mad:

OK, I cannot stand these commercials! Not only does this guy's head look like it's pasted on the wrong body....He somehow reminds my kids of a human turtle!

Any commercial where they have a baby screaming/crying very loudly throughout the whole thing. There are two one for a carpet where the child screams on and on until the dad puts him/her on the carpet then he/she goes to sleep. The other has a supermodel in it and the kid cries until the dad finds a pic of her on the internet or something. It is not cute or fun to hear a baby screaming his/her head off.... :nono:

any commercial for cleaning or kitchen products that show a wife doing all the work while the husband sits around. i've looked at this closely- the ones that DO show a husband doing the work usually show him screwing it up, and the product is designed to be SO easy that apparently even men, who have no natural talent for housework, can use it. household product commercials are still stuck in the 1950s.

The ones that have women with bladder control problems- "gotta go gotta go gotta go right now"- make me crazy!
I also don't like the one for Good Nites underwear that have a young boy discussing his bed wetting problem and how he would be afraid if his friends found out. I think it's disgusting to put a child in a commercial like that. There has to be a better way to advertise that kind of product than making a child speak on camera about such a personal problem.

That commericial makes my skin crawl when that "germ" goes under the toenail. :mad2:

That is the EXACT commercial I was going to write about. When that critter lifts up the toenail from the bed, I feel instant nausea. :frown3:

I like the identity theft ones too. I find myself watching them even if I say I'm not going to.

There's a commercial that I can't stand to watch and I'm not even sure what car company it's for but some girl with long, black, straight hair and some kind of stripped cap sits in the passenger seat and does this robotic dance while they are driving around town. It is weird the way she jerks around and I can't stand to watch it. Weird I know.

and I'm sick of those, I got good news commericals - just saved money on my car insurance or some rot.

lmao and those - can you hear me now - oh yeah, I hear ya and I wish I didn't!

wow, I guess if I sat a minute and thought about it I'd think of more.

I friggin' HATE the Ameretto DiSaronno commerical where all the bottles in the bar are Ameretto DiSaronno, and the girl won't let the bartender take her glass away because she wants to suck on her ice cube. Duh. And that bartender looks like a donkey. I'd be embarassed to order this stuff after seeing this commercial.
