Oh my god, Tony Little. I want to shove him into a box and mail him back to the horrible 80's cliche that sent him here. I keep expecting to meet him. He's on the HSN campus fairly often, since we carry so many of his products. So far I haven't seen him in person, though.
I Hate Billy Mays. And the Shamwow guy didn't beat the hooker, she beat him up and he got arrested for being a john.
I heard that she bit his tongue, and he hit her. Now, I don't know, but if I was a hooker and some guy was paying me $1k for sex, he'd have to be doing something pretty creepy for me to bite him.
Maybe he tried to pay for her services with a pallet of Shamwows? Or tried selling her some by demonstrating their effectiveness at...soaking things up.
This thread is taking an uncomfortable turn... You know what commercials I hate? University of Phoenix commercials. I worked there when they came up with their whole "I am a phoenix" thing, and it's ridiculous. Drives me up the wall every time I hear/see one.
All of the GoDaddy.com commercials. I dont know what they're actually trying to sell or what GoDaddy actually is (although based on the domain name and commercial content, I have a few ideas), so they're not only in bad taste but the company is not even advertising properly. They make me want to cry. And Danica is a horrible spokeswoman for it --she's ugly.
Americans won't get it over there, but the single most annoying advert series have to be the HBOS ones. They take a song, change the lyrics to being about banking, and dance about like complete idiots. In fact, one day I was depositing money into my friend's account (HBOS) and standing in the queue with a friend, we saw a big sign advertising another one of their ventures- Sheila's wheels car insurance. My friend commented "Oh, I didn't realise HBOS did sheila's wheels" I quickly retorted "Could you not tell? They clearly got the same idiot to make both the adverts." Our conversation was halted by the spasms of muted laughter from a nearby worker. Clearly the employees feel the same about the ads as the rest of society. I'm sure it's on Youtube or something. Google it, you WILL be mortified.
Oh, and Cillit Bang. Is there a need to shout the entire commercial out? Is there really? No, so shut the heck up. In case you're wondering, I'm watching the telly whilst writing, and I'm getting ad breaks.

Hehe, God yes. Uh...man what is that product called? *googles it* Enzyte! haha, I love smiling Bob. "A SACK full of confidence!"
Indeed, sir. Has anyone seen those Head On commercials? "Head on. Apply directly to the forehead. Head on. Apply directly to the forehead. Head on. Apply directly to the forehead. Head on. Apply directly to the forehead. Head on. Apply directly to the forehead." They must have gotten complaints about it because now their commercials consist of someone interrupting the annoying commercial by coming on the screen and making fun of it saying "I HATE YOUR COMMERCIALS...but your product is great."
That's the first time I've heard that one. Regarding Head-On...well, at least everyone will know how to use it.
The one for Cadbury. The two kids in the photo both, and then music starts playing and they wiggle their eyebrows.
^I HATE THAT. UGH. Creepy ****! Oh and allll the car adverts piss me off. All of them. I'm not sure exactly why but..aghh. :redface:
Oh god I remember now. The countless bloody ads for 'MONEYSUPERMARKET.COM!' and 'GO COMPARE YOUR CAR INSURANCE HERE!' or 'compare the market....compare the MEERKAT! Ha ha ha.' Not funny, and how many sodding car-insurance-comparison-websites do we need?!
I actually like the meerkat advert. it's funny... Okay, now I'll be humming the tune for the rest of the day. Darnit!
The Nuvaring commericial with all the synchronized swimmers. Whenever I turn the television on, I ALWAYS catch this frame, when they all start taking off their shower caps... Annoying! And the jingle is grating! "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, EVERYDAY!" I'd rather just have the damn kids! EDIT: PS: What does Head-On actually do? I know how to use it, but I have no idea why I should use it...
Amen to the nuvaring commercial. There's also a commercial for one of the birth control pill packs that cause you to only have your period once every three months that really irritates me. "Who says a woman should have their time of the month once a month? Now you can have it every three months!" Bah.
