7. Definitely!
The jewelery commercials make women look like complete idiots and the luxury car commercials make (mostly) men look like complete idiots.

I dream of the day when the recipient of the car turns around and says "My GOD, and how long are we going to be paying on this thing? Did that damn, big-ass bow cost extra?"

6. Added it.
I don't think there's any reason to add "Other". IMO they are all easily the most annoying christmas commercials in television history.

14. I love that new Target Commercial
I was tickled that brought that actress back from last year. She is annoying...But that's the irony of it all.

10. Not Christmas, but the UPS 'Logistics' spots are nauseating.
They're redundant and highlight a butchered "That's Amore" by Dean Martin. Proletarian crap. (Or crap for the proles)

16. Hyundai White Boy Rap Ad.
at least it's better than the two "hipster" idiots singing Up on the Rooftop" last year.

I'll add any ad for a jewlery store, especially Jered's.

17. Using the term "hipster" in a derogatory way is annoying.
Do you think all "hipsters" are idiots? If so, why?

20. No not really
Edited on Fri Nov-18-11 12:26 PM by sharp_stick
just the ones that call themselves hipsters. Lighten up a bit, it's Friday dude. Put on your ironic no-prescription glasses, the wool cap and go to a cupcake party. ;-)

22. Pomplamoose have never called themselves hipsters.
Nor have any 20-something kids in wool caps that I've ever met.

I call them people.

has a cruuuuush I'm sorry I stomped on it. What really annoyed me is the choice of songs. I hate earworm inducing dreck and I don't care if it's the London Symphony doing the damned thing.

27. I absolutely DREAD this time of year
Well, other than the leaves and the nice weather.

It seems "Christmas Inc" with it's cacaphony of commerical come-ons comes earlier and earlier and earlier. In a dozen years people will be putting up their trees at holloween. Some I know put it up the day after thanksgiving!

I can't stand it.

28. All Walmart. Blecch.
Second place to that vile grandma v reindeer thing. I hated that song the very first time I heard it, the hate deepens with each hearing.

Flip side -- that Hershey's "ringing kisses" is, in my sometimes but not often humble opinion, one of the cleverest ads ever put together for any product.
