Which TV commercials annoy you?

Which TV commercials do you find most annoying?

I'lll start with two that come to mind. I will be back as they appear.

1. The one where some clown is going around looking for Mr. Goodwrench.

2. One where they advertise Bell South DSL. The family wakes up one morning and they have outgrown their house, They stand up and hit their heads in the doorway, the ceiling fans, and some duck pot on the front porch.

I hope this simple explanation is enough so you can identify the ones I'm talking about.

They're made to sell stuff, but 99.9% of them make me want to blow my brains out.

I agree with Kongo, i think most of them are garbage

Over here in Australia, and im sure the same is true in other parts of the world, they dedicate tv shows to showing, the best tv commercials, the worst tv commercials, bloopers etc etc etc

my remote control "RECALL" (last channel) button is just about worn out. I always have a backup channel to switch to so I rarely see the commercials.

Yeah. The wife either wants a comparison of of her to those models or wants you to buy her something.

Truth commercials. I can't stand them at all and the sad part is I"m a non-smoker. I think they extremely annoying... especially when they used to play them at the movie theater. I pay movie to see movie trailers not commercials especially ones about smoking and how bad it is. 82% of the world know its bad why they choose to do go figure its them not me. I'd rather watch an infomerical about juicing than watch a Truth commercial.
