Out of the ones that are still airing, FreeCreditReport.com ones are an obvious choice, all Burger King ads, and that damn Staples commercial with the guy yelling "That's a low price!". I was going to mention that Staples commercial. When he's starts yelling "That's a low price!" I yell back at the t.v. "I'M ACTING!" ala Nostalgia Critic. It helps get me through.

I've just moved back to the UK after living in the US for a year and can say how happy I am that we don't have the Burger King in the BK ads here.
Although alas, the UK has this God awful ad...

The guy who keeps walking and is in different places until finally he is on a horse. The worst way to sell me something is to put people down, IMO. You mean this? Because I absolutely love this commercial. Mark me down too. "LOOK DOWN, NOW BACK AT ME!"

I don't mean to sound mean or cruel, but I hate these with a passion. You can ask me to help out without using a damn song to tug at my heart strings.
Dammit, I'm tearing up already, because I saw one that looked like one of my favorite cats that got run over a couple years ago. God, I hate you, Sarah McLachlan.

Give me back that filet O'Fish! This commercial makes me twitch with rage. The tragedy is, that commercial was funny the first time I saw it. The next 38,918.....not so much

The Twix ad where the one guy is hitting on that gi and says hey do you want to go back to my place and then all of the sudden takes bite of Twix and changes his mind and just wants to protest or blog about ideals with this girl. Like that would happen to any guy ever.

- Any ad the feels the need to mutilate the English language (Subway, Dave & Busters, Subway, Fruit Loops, Subway, Applebee's, Subway, Old Spice Matterhorn deodorant, Subway, Cici's Pizza, Subway, Chili's, Subway, Chico's, Subway, Subway, frakking Subway...) - All deodorant/soap/hair care commercials ("Double Pits to Chesty," the "Hair Crisis Relief" crap, season three of Eureka) except for the wonderfully bizarre "guy on a horse" ads. - Anything involving the Geico cavemen. - All fast food ads, including pizza places, Dairy Queen, and Subway. - The aforementioned ASPCA/Humane Society ads with Sarah McLaughlin and/or Wendie Malick. - If it has an "extra-adorable" kid, then I probably hate it like Subway the plague. - Any ad for a phone that features the Android mobile OS. It's not the ads themselves, mind you. It's 100% due to my pure, burning hatred of everything Google. - Any Verizon ad. - Any and all advertisements for both the Pennsylvania and Georgia State Lotteries. The former features an obnoxious groundhog puppet named Gus that tells us to "keep on scratchin'," and the latter seems to be made by a group of people high on psychedelic drugs (a goat the breathes fire and poops money, a lottery ticket causes people to "drown" in money, etc). - Every ad for Direct TV, Dish, and Comcast. - The rapping "Education Connection" lady. - The E-Trade babies. - Almost every beer commercial, save for thee Sam Adams spots with Jim Cook and those Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World" ads. - Those "Fresh Choice Mixers" spots with Julia Louis-Dreyfuss. The way the bald guy says fresh makes me want to jump through the TV and kick his ass. "Double hate" goes to the versions that have the little cartoon attached at the end. - Five-hour Energy. - Those Wheat Thin ads that begin with "Crunch Wheat Thins, Crunch." - GoDaddy ads. - All spots that feature a "smart" wife and a really, really "dumb" man. - Any ad that features the word "umami." - Every ad for Jeep. - The spots for Publix Supermarkets. - All toilet paper ads. - Any ad for Kraft American Singles and/or Macaroni and Cheese. - Every single Hamburger Helper ad. - That one "prescription acid reflux medication" ad with closeup on the mouths. (Don't remember the product in question.) -Those Netflix commercials featuring the creepy family with the eyebrows. They make no sense! - The Kit-Kat ad where everyone in the office is eating a Kit-Kat "rhythmically." - Butterfinger ads. - The Progressive ads featuring Flo. Yes, she's hot. She's also obnoxious. - The aforementioned "Wow... That's a low price!" Staples ad. - Esurance. - Most ads for Kohls and Ross. - Gamespot ads. - The Dell ad features the steelworkers singing "Lollipops." - The LaQuinta ad that features the "stock" footage and the "nerd" with the squeaky voice. - Those Starkist ads that feature people making that obnoxious "fish face." - The new series of Captain Morgan ads that end with "Calling all Captains." The original ones were clever. The new ones are forced. And how the "night owl" doesn't have a broken neck from turning his head a full 360 degrees is beyond me. - The Skittles ad that features the guy with the tree branch growing out of his torso. - Did I mention Subway?
That's all I can think of at the moment. There are definitely more. When I think of them, I'll post them.

Pick any beer commercial and I'd probably hate it.

This commercial makes me twitch with rage. The tragedy is, that commercial was funny the first time I saw it. The next 38,918.....not so much I watch a crapload of tv, and I honestly don't think I've seen this one. It doesn't sound familiar at all. Anyway...we have one that I think runs local. It has a guy for whatever reason running his arms up and down really fast on this recliner that he's sitting in inside the showroom. Suddenly his watch falls off and falls down into the crack of it between the cushion and the armrest. He picks the watch up and the conversation with the seller is as follows: *picks up watch* "Ha! So what about this?!" "...that's yours." "....oh..." ...WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Damn near all of the Dorito's Super Bowl commercials suck. If these were truly the funniest commercials they had, then i wanna know the deathtoll of people who watched the less-funnier ones. Oh, and I LOVE these too [/sarcasm] Why is the line "do you love the taste of your beer this much"? The line "Are you this much of a d-bag tool? Well, ya could" fits better. It's not like you can get another beer or anythiOH WAIT A SECOND!!!!! And this isn't even the worst...the one that looks like a dating site commercial. That makes me feel bad for all men around the world.

Every Skechers commercial ever made.
Makes me almost ashamed to admit I buy their products.

Give me back that filet O'Fish! Hate that song, hate someone asking me to sing it (And I don't have to), hate the premise, hate that the fish would still be singing it a year later. How would it be his Filet O'Fish at that point? Then it'd be completely rotten.

Ones for online dating services (they make me either hit mute or change the channel) and those "rollover minutes" ads.

An old Filipino McDonald's commercial back in 2001. Here's the translation:
Karen: Here's your food grandpa, Grandpa: Where were you Gina? Karen: Grandpa, my name's Karen. Grandpa: You took a long time, and i couldn't see you, okay, eat now Gina. Karen: My name's Karen grandpa.. Grandpa: This, is for my favorite grand daughter, Karen.

I'm an animal lover, but I can't stand a commercial that makes me feel like shit if I don't donate money to their organization. Every time I see this come on, I change the channel.

HI I'M BARRY SCOTT! Thank god they haven't played this one in years.
The Envirophone advert would be total crap if it wasn't for the hero that goes WONGA!
The Gocompare advert is really beginning to pee me off and the one that has already been said, We Buy Any Car.
Any any any any.
