those Geico taste tests?
They don't explain the product, they're not witty, they're not insightful, they have no funny quotes, no catchy music, and there's zero eye candy. Is Geico's market saturation so fierce that they've just gotten fat and lazy? Come on, don't crap out on us now when there's so much more exploitable material out there.

AT&Ts "Get it faster and be a douchebag" campaign is much worse.

Yes, the Geico ads with the stupid pig. The taste test is baffling, but they don't have a character that makes Navi look not so irritating. |

The "my confidence is showing" cars.com ads are so damn annoying.

1-877-KARS-4-KIDS makes me want to stab a puppy. I have no idea if it's local or national.........but radio stations here CANNOT go an ad break without playing it.....and they've been doing this for at least three years.

I hate those stupid tequila ads with the guy saying things like "Remember when food was good?" or "This commercial is about Tequila."

The new anti-smoking ads are tasteless and disgusting.

The only commercial I liked from the Geico taste test ads was the one with the old people. They were like what did I just drink?

Did you ever hear the short lived rock version? I thought that the world had finally gotten rid of the original jingle but, lo and behold, they brought it back. I've never been so infuriated by a jingle before. |

Education Connection. Most annoying commercial of all time. Yet it always gets stuck in my head. So they did a damn good job, I guess. Bastards.

The Honda (I think) ad where the passengers sing Crazy Train, music included.

The new anti-smoking ads are tasteless and disgusting. It's an anti-smoking ad, they're supposed to be disgusting to try to convince to kick the habit or never start it. |

I hate those stupid tequila ads with the guy saying things like "Remember when food was good?" or "This commercial is about Tequila." My favorite of those is the one where he starts talking about cars while shilling Tequilla... |

1877KARS4KIDS takes the cake as the worst ad campaign in the history of ad campaining.
It was so bad i used to think of some corrupt content and sing my own version when it came on.
1877SARS4KIDS
1877AIDS4KIDS
1877DRUGS4KIDS
1877SIDS4KIDS
Im sorry if i offend anyone, but this campaign was so terrible Don Imus once left his microphone on during a commercial break and got in some hot water after it was all said and done.

Fifth Third- The Curious Bank
Sorry, curious banking is what got us to where we are today. I really don't think "curiousity" is an attribute people want in a financial institution.
