Commercials you hate

Ihate the Bailey's "zero gravity bar" commercial. It's just so freaking stupid! All those people floating around wasting Bailey's doesn't advertise Bailey's very well.
Are there any commercials you hate? Besides Bush campaign commercials of course...

4. Ever see the ones that don't tell you...

WHAT THE PRODUCT IS OR DOES?

They just show some woman running through a field or something. Really ticks me off.

7. Just about all the drugs these days are like that

mainly because they want to avoid you understanding the side effects they list like "may cause your liver to fall out" or something.

11. actually had a FEMALE patient ask me about the benefits

of Levitra, and a male ask me if I thought he needed Premarin. (Estrogen Therapy.) Also had one nice (IE crazier than a BedBug)little lady in her 60's ask me if I thought she needed that drug "Proscar" which is for the treatment of Prostate Cancer. She saw one of the Reps walk in with a drug guide and saw the pretty blue Proscar pills, Asked him what the "Pretty Blue ones were" and he told her the name. LOL
You would be shocked at how many requests I have had from little old men wanting Viagra, Levitra and the like...
and the Commercials I hate worst currently are the Chicken Selects commercials from McDonald's

6. Yeah, those are getting old by now

For a while there was a series of radio commercials by Geico that I did like-the "classics in history", where they would parody a famous book or story, then immediately break into "How does Geico save money on car insurance?". Kind of surreal...

8. Subway commercials - especially ones with Jared

I'm not a fan of Subway. "Fresh" is just about the last adjective I'd use to describe their food.

But Jared just gets on my nerves, especially ones that proclaim how low-fat their sandwiches are, which is only true if you get them without cheese and mayo, which Subway employees almost push you to put on when you go there.

12. Geiko....I'd love to put that Lizard-Thing in ...

...a Microwave for about 10 minutes.

Here in Florida, they run the Geico ads about 100 times a day on each channel.. (I'm not kiddin'...it's that bad)

I wouldn't buy their insurance if it was 100 bucks cheaper...just for spite!

13. A Stacker-2 commercial

I don't know if its' just a CA thing or if its natl but it looks really cheap and there's this guy w/ a buzzcut jogging. He's talking about how he wanted to join the marines or the navy or something but he couldn't because he was overweight. Then he took stacker2 and now hes "living dream" and an American flag is flying in the background. Kinda tasteless to me.
