Dude,

Thank you for this website. I was googling around trying to find a decent forum to at least hear other people rant about the stupid advertisements that so often make my blood boil (the current ones being the jolly old batch of holiday commercials with the absolute worst renditions of the same shitty holiday songs we’ve come to hate from previous years). Have a merry Christmas and keep up the good work.

Regards,

Nathan great website

Hi:
Just stumbled across commericials I Hate.com and really enjoyed your writing, and I must say I agree with almost all of your opinions. I have spent the last couple of hours just reading all of your reviews and links....good stuff. I particularly liked the response to the F-16 guys email. Very well done.

I must say this......
That fucking Lamisil commerical is the sickest thing ever. Glad to hear I was not the only one disgusted by that one. At least now I know how it starts and can usually change the channel before the most grusome parts. Who buys that shit anyway.

So, Nathan. Good luck with the career, and maybe they can just come up with a TV Game show based on your web site and make you rich. Then you could do some promo commericals for the show which will surely get annoying to us quickly and we can write a website about how we hate the commercials for Nathan the Host of commercials I Hate "The Gameshow". Anyway, you are a great writer and very entertaining. Best of Luck.

wellpatch comm.

Alright, so my wife comes back home from the gym, and tells me about this wellpatch commercial and how stupid it is. I reply with "there are a ton of dumbass spots".... She laughs and makes me watch the TV for 3 days before I finally saw it..... This has to be STUPIDEST fucking spot ever put on the air.

Have you ever seen it, and what are your thoughts?

hate it

Dude
I don't have a web site but since you do this has to be one you can use.
"trust the midas touch" they're all annoying but the new one with the stenographer who survived Treblinka is a new low. Have you seen it? It plays in the northeast. sorry i couldn't include a copy

Mercedes Benz

Please add the Mercedes commercial when the husband is late for a plane and his asshole wife drives like a maniac to catch the plane, then once there, he realizes that their at the wrong airport. It is a stupid, stupid, stress making commercial.

by the way, all my friends hate lamisil's commercial and makes them sick.  It didn't bother me.

Great site

Nice work Nathan, I truly enjoy your site.

What’s the lastest on that thing with Melissa? You’ve got a soap opera/serial drama on your hands!

annoying ads

Dear Nathan,

Let me start by saying, excellent web site, very creative and informative. Now my purpose in writing to you is because I am currently doing a University project in which I have to find an ad (TV, magazine, paper or internet) that I find to be offensive, irritating or ineffective. I have to support my claim explainning why I find the ad offensive, irritating or ineffective and what can be done to improve it.

Basically I have to wite a formal business report, 8-10 pages long addressed to the CEO of the company trying to convince him/her to remove or change the ad (and in what way).

I found lots of ads, but didn't find anytihng to write much about, or simply didn't find any demonstration. I searched, for instance, for a clip of the Skittles commercial in which the Grand-Parents of a kid sits with him and eats Skittles and the kids Grandma starts rapping in front of the kid and then reveals her cheat (shocking the kid). This would go under offensive and defaming the elderlies. It can also go as innefective because, I mean... does that ad make you wanna buy some Skittles? This commercial would be GOLD for my project. I can easily run a sample survey on that one.

Of course, from my personal point of view, I really, REALLY hate McDonald's "I'm lovin' it" ads, the Mazda's gay "Zoom Zooms" and mostly, the "It's not delivery, it's DeGiorgo (or Delicio or whatever)" I won't even begin to talk about how much I hate that last one. But I would need hard evidence to back up my claims if you know what I mean...

Anywho, bottom line: Could you help m find an .mpg file of the Skittles ad and/or pictures to demonstrate? I am getting short on time so please reply as soon as possible. I'd really appreciate it.

Thank You,

Nizar
