There are millions of commercials out there that have no sense. Commercials you deeply hate. Gosh where should I start??? Share your thoughts of chosen videos.

These may not be the worst commercials, but they sure are terrible and/or annoying.



 


/thread.

I would abuse that little son of stitch like you wouldn't believe, and I'm not even the abusive type. :lol:
 
that one of the funniest commercials I've ever seen...and it's a condom commercial...which are, by default, really stupid...like beer commercials.

But my current annoying commercial is the "No Pants" Dockers commercial.
 
I hate all commercials with a passion. :sly:

But the ones that feature annoying brats are definitely the worst!
 

Crap song. And no, you can't have those 92 seconds of your life back, and I'm not paying for your trip to the A&E just because you nearly bled to death from your ears.

Off-topic: this is a really good idea for a thread, Crooooooow (that's way too many "o"s).
 
Easy. They used to play this one nonstop during my Freshman year of college, by the end of the year I had to mute commercials to avoid her horrible, off key singing.





This is my fav. commercial ever, however.

Ok, at 1:05 is just disturbing.

Thank you Drift King!

Here's my entry in this. It's for a local auto insurance company that apparently insures the people you DON'T want on the road:

 
If anyone has ever seen the "We wear no pants" commercial, at the end, the announcer mentions something about buying their pants, then they will quit showing that commercial.

Yeah I'd give him hell too. That hardly looks like a condom commercial though. Man did that kid blow up.
 
How about any and ALL Walmart commercials. I guess they've been trying to do the stupid Best-Buy "employee" commercial except Wal Mart decided to find the MOST ANNOYING people that work for them EVER. Yeah, a big fat black guy dancing around in the ice cream isle like an idiot isn't going to make me want to shop at Wal Mart. If anything, it'll make me stay away 'cause I don't want to run into freaks like him. Also, why do they have to show it EVERY commercial break? It's worse than a JD Wetworth Commercial
 
If you lived near Chicago back in the day you should have experienced these great commercials



And the awesome sequel

 
I refuse to embed anything that contains singing, so if you want to damage your ears feel free to google 'Suicide inducing Go Compare Opera man' or 'WeBuyAnyCar.com WeBuyAnyCar.com WeBuyAnyCar.com WeBuyAnyCar.com WeBuyAnyCar.com WeBuyAnyCar.com'.

To be honest though, this is the worst advert currently on British TV:



Now what they've done there is thought 'now how can we improve the credibility of this campaign', and somehow what they've come up with is 'stick a bin on a man's head'. I don't understand either.


And then of course, there's always this horrendous pile...



Or its follow up:

Oh and here's an angry Northern man dressed in a curtain.

The worst ad on Australian television right now has to be one for KFC. I can't find any videos of it, so I'll have to describe it: KFC have this limited time only burger called the Tower, which is basically your standard KFC burger, but with an added hash brown; in other words, KFC have successfully managed to find the one way they could make their product any worse. The ad itself makes me refer to this as the "Bieber burger" because it's a thronging mass of grown men going crazy over the burger the way Justin Bieber fans do.

The other ad I find terrible if for the BMX Mono, which is basically a training wheel for performing monos. It's endorsed by some guy named Matt Whyatt, who I guess is some kind of BMX wunderkid. The reason why I can't stand the ad is because this Whyatt character is everything you ever imagined a sixteen year old high school drop-out to be. He looks like he's stoned, woke up at 3pm and never did an honest day's work in his life.
 
Come on! The following must rank as the most annoying commercials of recent times.

GO COMPARE! GO COMPARE!
Compare the Meerkat dot com!
WAN SHEET DOES PLENTY!
At home with the credit expert - NO, I INSIST.
You buy one, you get one free, I SAY YOU BUY ONE, YOU GET ONE FREE! Clue: Windows

And, of course: I wouldn't listen to him, he told me he was helping Rolf Harris move house!

If you know the above, then you must be as peed of as I am. The creators of these adverts should be sacked.
 
The ad for the "Planet Jedward" CD. If Planet Jedward exists, I'm building my own Death Star (for obvious purposes).
 
Watch the video now, now pause the film, now click resume, now pause again. What am I talking about? I don't know.
 
Suprised no one's mentioned the horrible VW punching commercials, which advertize every single Volkswagen car, and usually not the Punch Buggy. They're trying to change they're own game and they fail.

 
I second that. I had never heard of the game before, so it taught me a little history, but at a considerable expense. Those commercials are not funny, not interesting, 1000% annoying. Makes other annoying commercials seem totally watchable.
 
I don't know whether this is a trend outside Australia, but one type of ad that annoys me no end are the ads that try to make out some corporation or another is an integral part of your community or worse, your family. Car dealerships and credit unions seem to be the worst offenders, so much so that it's become something of a drinking game at my university: someone starts singing one of the ad jingles (and we know all of them) and everyone has to keep drinking until they've finished the song. Anyone who hasn't finished their drink is out, and the next round begins. The songs usually go like this:

"It's nice to know you've got a friend,
Someone you can rely on
When times are hard, we're there for you,
A caring hand to see you through;
John Davis Motors
You've got a friend for life."

There's another one from my region run by the Northern Inland Credit Union who are so desperate to be anything other than a bank that they've picked some local celebrity that no-one has ever heard of to try and perpetuate the notion that they've been a part of the community for decades and will continue to do so. The ad is literally five minutes long (the majority of ads go for thirty seconds at most), is obviously the most expensive ad the region has ever seen and is full of smarmy "warm" references that make little kids want to run. It's like that oily uncle that you only invite to your wedding because he's your uncle.
