The dating service that matches you with God's choice for you.

Especially that Xian Mingle commercial currently playing about every 3.5 seconds here in the L.A. area. Features a couple of old farts who actually rub noses on camera. (And I'm an old fart myself, for anyone getting the vapors about ageism.)

And how does that tagline go? "Sometimes God needs for us to make the first move..."

Well, as an atheist, I don't have a god in this fight. But from my SoB (Southern Baptist) upbringing, I'm pretty sure I remember hearing God was omnipotent. Meaning "all-powerful." So no, the old bugger shouldn't need any help.

The bright side: I'm a big fan of true crime shows, especially stuff like Who The (Bleep) Did I Marry?. That's the show about people who discover their spouses are murderers, kidnappers, con artists, etc.

I just know that one of these days, I'm going to turn on that show and hear: "It all started when I signed up for Xian Mingle, to find God's perfect match for me. Then after he/she served me a pitcher of lemonade, I noticed the anti-freeze bottle in the trash..."

When those murder cases go to court, you'll know who they're talking about when they refer to an "unnamed, unindicted co-conspirator."

Thank you!!!

On Edit: There IS however one commercial I'll always enjoy...

Start your own damn thread.
This is the "commercials I hate thread!" and only that.

"I'm an independent woman who wants a sugar daddy."

In my world, I'd put out some glue traps for that annoying little Cockney lizard then throw him in the trash.

On the balance, I'd prefer Flo. I think she's sexy in a nerdy kind of way. But it would also be awesome to have a little talking lizard-buddy to keep me company. I'd make him cook English muffins in the morning, with butter and jam.

It is for Honda, I think... and has a bunch of lunatics dancing around a parking lot to song from "Grease". As soon as I hear the intro to the song, I practically kill myself to reach the remote in time!

but it sound awful.

We're seeing it in California, too.

and clear the area.

It's a Nissan commercial, and I've seen it in Spanish - no improvement.

Angel in Texas

TY. I can't even imagine it in Spanish! LOL

Makes me cringe.

The little Blue Tax guy. I hate his fucking voice and I detest that little yelp he does at the end.

I hate the JG Wentworth one where people are screaming out their windows, "It's my money and I need it NOW!!!!"

The ones that show abused animals or poor kids and ask for donations. These literally rip my heart to shreds. I absolutely cannot watch them.

There are a few local ones...

Played about five or six times during the course of one local news program.

...877 Cash Now!

Arrgh!!!!

The first version of the one where they're singing from the Barber of Seville I sorta like.

The boner pill ads are the worst of the worst.

"...side-effects can include nausea, insanity, or even death..."

gahhhhhhh!

I see that one when I'm watching morning blow, I mean morning Joe..... Ugh.

Angel in Texas

The only commercials I remember were VISA, GEICO, and Chevrolet, which were not too obnoxious. The two dollars for gas one was funny. "That's hippy talk!" I hear things like that all of the time. (Of course I used to have a pony tail, but now I don't even have enough hair for that...)

Otherwise I don't watch much television. No cable, no satellite, just a seven and a half inch square hanger-wire antenna, and I can walk to the Redbox to get a DVD.

stop me from sporting my pony tail. lol, there may not be nearly as many of 'em but the hairs I got left are long and tied in the back.


Have not quite yet gotten to to Larry status



but I'm on the way...


And I use the DVR for 99% of my TV viewing so I can skip commercials but on the rare occasion I get caught without the remote handy, I've noticed I can't stand that family singing Crazy Train. I love Ozzy but they just are shit singers and I hate them. I wish I knew what the commercial was for so I could avoid buying it.

but I can't decide if it's the worst or really cool because it's so bad

Really - has ANYONE switched to progressive because of her? If anything I won't touch their product because her commericials are so annoying and that red lipstick she wears is so fucking tacky!

but i bet it's for the exact opposite reason...

but that was before I heard about them hiring a lawyer for the guy who ran into one of their customers to get him acquitted so they wouldn't have to pay the death benefit on the policy of their customer. What total shitbags.

is "least shit-baggy"...Insurance companies have pretty awful reputations but I think they earned them.

I haven't had one negative thing to say about them. Great company to also finance or re-finance your car with.

Mr G may, tho. How is it better than the rest?

Just naming one decent auto insurance company. I think what makes them better than the rest is that they are cheaper than the rest whether that is insurance or financing. I never needed it for an accident so I don't know how their service is. I locked my keys in my car a few times and they were able to get a locksmith to me pretty quickly, free of charge.

She fucklng makes me CRINGE. Especially in the commercial with the driver's license.

And I'm guessing she's going to be around for quite awhile, given the increasing number of Progressive commercials, unless she does a flame-out like the guy who was the gecko's voice in the Geico commercials.

i hate them all. Especially the cavemen and that stupid pig.

Man do I hate that kind of advertising. It's basically saying people who enjoy their product are complete morons. There seems to be a trend in ads to treat potential customers as stupid under the guise of humor. Maybe the 'mad men' are not sharp enough to realize just how dumb that is and it really has the opposite affect.

It makes me want to throw heavy objects. I actually turn the channel when it is on, I will purposely not buy little ceasars pizza, (pizza hanging around all day sounds gross anyway)

use and corrupt a great song from the past, ensuring that new generations will associate the song with advertising, rather than with great music.

But I can't hear that old folksong "Lemon Tree" without thinking of Lemon Pledge.

I must have missed the Pledge commercials, although I used plenty of Lemon Pledge growing up.

the Nationwide spokesman. with a phone nobody has used in 30 years.

Any and all propaganda pieces by the fracking companies here in PA, such as this 30 second gem of mind control :

http://www.rangeresources.com/Media-Center/Videos/My-Campaign.aspx

Makes me want to throw a shoe at the Tv.

with sad music in the background.

I support what they stand for and everything but if I had a soul that would be soul-crushing.

have to change the channel as quickly as possible for those.

I absolutely despise the Kit Kat commercials with the people making those disgusting chomping noises. But, the MUTE button is sufficient for those. I have to change the channel when the animal abuse commercials come on. I can't even listen to them, let alone watch.

Progressive Insurance
Any car ad

hate that one and a stupid carpet one and so many out there I hate...

If the credit report is "free", how the hell are they paying for all those slick, overproduced ads?

So much stupid...

It was before the Daily Show and Colbert Report a few months back... terrible >_<

Don't remember the product, but it was some sort of pill for men (not an erection pill, though sexual stamina was mentioned as one of its many benefits)

Don't remember all the words, but the narrator said stuff like: 'Remember when you had the energy for 12 rounds of golf with your buddies, for more time with the one you love.' And then there was something about dancing and disco music kicked in for a sec.

God I hate that commercial. I'm glad I don't even remember the name of the product. That means I won and they lost!

I used to yell at the tv -- "Duh. You're not thirty anymore! What the hell do you expect?"

That is the most annoying thing on TV right now. I would never buy one of those cars if that is the best they can do. All those actors are obnoxious, but the woman in the front seat is insufferable!

This is the sound of my soul! Yick! Go away!

Maybe this crap is your cup of tea

Obnoxious.

is just creepy.

I don't think I've ever seen one commercial where he didn't look creepy.

That ad gives me a real negative taste.

NOTE: I wholly support nutritious diets and I adore the mission of the AD Council, however...


That ad where the kid flops back on her bed and crunches an apple and then her ceiling begins to crumble, and she just lies there in some apple-induced happy daze. Then the crumbling ceiling turns into a map of the world and the kid produces a wee smile.

I mean come on! Why isn't she freaking out? Her ceiling is falling apart! Why aren't the ceiling bits falling onto her face? Why is her bedroom so damned dreary? Where is is this girl's parent or guardian? What is this commercial trying to say? Eating an apple makes your ceiling cave in?

Which is why I usually change the channel, play on phone/computer or read a book when they come on.

there was one, I think it was local, for a brand of powdered boxed donuts.

The family was going crazy looking for the donuts...who could have taken them???

So they follow a trail of powdered sugar and it leads to the living room where there, in a bowl, is a lone goldfish with white powder around its mouth and a guilty look on its face.

I loved that one.

RANGE RESOURCES commercials. Should I bother to mention any and all pro Romney/Ryan (or any Rupublican for any office for that matter) commercials?!

I can't turn it off fast enough!

The one that implies that Obama is handing out fat welfare checks to every lazy slob in America who doesn't want to work.

Umm...Mitt? The majority of those checks go to small children, the disabled and the elderly. Want them bagging groceries at Walmart? Yup. I thought so.

This one is so annoying:

The jingle is very annoying.

I figured it was probably a blood sugar finger sticker, but that's so far put of my knowledge sphere (and I'll do anything to keep it that way!) it took awhile to figure out.

But why is this popster chick all breathless over it when she sings? Are they trying to appeal to the Rebecca Black "Friday" crowd? And if so, how scared am I for the fate of our youth?????

is when they run out of words and just say Hey Hey Hey Hey! Reminds me of Rebecca Black's Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun.

I hate the way the woman in the front seat sings "True" and I hate the way when I see it I always picture the marketing people sitting around precisely targeting the white 45-year-old demo (I'm in their sites).

The trend today is to take the dopiest dick in the room, make him the user of your product, he shows his ass, and the product saves his day. That makes you the dopiest dick in the room if you use it yourself. Who greenlights this shit?

KFC Bites - (FU Mom and Dad, I'm staying in ur basement)
US Postal Service "Dudes"
AT&T where that shrew yells at her husband tending plants
GEICO does a dopey dick shit in his pants?

ad nauseum

Unfotunately, at this stage of my life I don't have a sexual partner,
but they DO help keep me from rolling out of bed.

Sorry. I just re-read the OP and realized that you were asking for
commercials that I DIDN'T like.

Some kind of skin treatment.

All the testimonials are from men, implying that their wives looked like horrible old hags until they tried this crap.

FTR, I'm male myself and long ago divorced with no woman currently in the house. But these damn commercials irk the crap out of me.

If I were one of their wives, I'd clobber that SOB with a frying pan and say: "It's NOT 20 years ago, Sparky! And by the way, how's about losing the love handles, turkey-wattles and all that hair growing out of places it shouldn't be?"

Even better, I can hope some of the wives are Raymond Chandler fans and have memorized his line about the Santa Ana winds: "Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen."

there were many really cringe-worthy advertisements (Mr Whipple!), but one that was really over the top offensive was the infamous 1971 Geritol commercial that concludes: "My wife...I think I'll keep her".

Somehow, it does not seem to have made it onto YouTube.

guys were complaining that their friends had left them and gone off to Paris alone so that now they were stuck in Brussels with the techno twins?

My reaction was, "Guys, if you're too dumb to find the Brussels train station, read the schedule on the wall, pay your euros or flash your Eurailpass, and go to Paris (spelled 'Paris' in every European language) on your own, you are too stupid to leave your own town, much less the country."

direct TV or dish network's new multi room DVR....the hopper the hopper the hopper grrrrrrrr
I am also getting sick of all the tampon/maxi pad commercials....seriously......that time of the month really makes one want to cheer, jump around in white clothes, laugh, party happy happy happy....who are these people??????

Good god do I want to just napalm everyone involved in those commercials every time I see them.

I also have a deep hatred for those AT&T commercials where the teenagers act like senior citizens around young kids with new technology.

offering ways to liquidate every asset they have in a hurry. Cash for gold, payday and car title loans, reverse mortgages, and offers to cash out annuities and structured settlements for a lump sum. Americans are desperate, and the vultures are lining up to strip them of everything they still own that is of any value whatsoever....and calling it a "service."

Second place: The ads for fly-by-night, for-profit "training schools" that promise an "easy" way out of financial desperation, when in reality many of them will saddle students with crushing student loan debt while offering a program that most won't complete and/or a worthless diploma.

Because I simply. cannot. STAND. commercials. I just go ballistic!!

"Over 73% of doctors would recommend a low calorie energy supplement to their healthy patients who use energy supplements."

It infuriates me that they think the viewing audience is so stupid we will be WOWED by this ridiculously unimportant survey. The thing is, the viewing audience is probably that stupid. That's what really pisses me off.

He has the body of a young dude and wants to do "it" all the time, constantly, he says! Yuk. I hate hate hate that commercial.

Seriously, does EVERY freakin' commercial need to have an attorney shoving this scrawl into the footage? It's displayed on commericals for some of the most inane reasons - such as driving at a modest speed of 30 mph in a straight line down the highway. What gives?
