So I was sitting here watching the travel channel, my mind drifting away on the idea of a carnival cruise when it happened
That (*&^()&^@# ShamWow guy came on destroying my mental vacation
I swear... that has to be the most annoying man ever

What commercial gets on your last nerve?

*that shamwow guy could be dried up in the desert and wouldn't get a drop of rum from me....*

That creepy freakin' Burger King dude. Man, I haven't eaten there since that ad campaign started. Just makes me all "oogy" thinking about it.

The new Geiko commercials.... the ones with the eyeballs on the money.

That one prescription drug commercial, I can't think of the name at the moment but it has a blue background and has a bunch of swirling words. It seems like its three minutes long, its crazy dumb.
Oh, I like the BK ads with the king. I even have a real costume of him from Target, its fun 'cause I like to hide and scare people like the commercial with it on.
Chik-fil-a is the best restaurant ever. The End.

My most disliked commercial is the Ikea "Start The Car".  Shamwow come in a close second, though.

Very annoying for sure. He'll sell anything!

But, you know he's making some serious bank doing it! Has this country's populous gone so far down the tube that they need to resort to such crap? I guess so...

Apologies to those who work in marketing...

I have a strong dislike, no hate for all things assosiated with ads of all types.

I hate how LOUD commercials are!
I hate those damned flashing ads on every internet site!
I hate those million candle power scrolling signs flashing on the freeways!
I hate those billboards with oversized heads hawking everything from diapers to Viagra!
I hate those radio comercials with the echoing voices!
I hate the perfume ads in my wifes magazine that stink up my hobby mags!

All advertizing should be done by garb clad rennies yelling out thier sales pitch!

I LOVE the Victoris's Secret catalog!

I am so with you on that, Scotsman!  My 15 year old son is embarrassed by them and we're pretty frank about that kind of stuff.
