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

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

Good site

Dude, your site rock! You won't believe how many times I wanna smashed the TV with my hockey stick everytime some annoying TV ads aired. Some of them are just that annoying it makes me swear I won't touch or buy their products, ever! For example the recent Verizon wireless commercial which shows this dad happily informed his 2 daughters that he has set up a wireless plan for the family so that they can talk more to each other. And what were the daughters' reaction? They looked at this dad as if he's some kind of child molester or something. Then this bitch mom told them that they can talk more to their friends too and suddenly they were happy and starts hugging each other. Dad tried to join the group hugging and what were their response? They ignore him completely. WTF!?? Seriously WTF is this ads trying to show!?? Kids shouldn't get along with their parents? All dads are scum of the earth child molesters? I'm glad there's a website like yours to skewer all these annoying ads. One more thing, why don't you create an award for the most annoying ads every year? We got the Razzie awards for the worst movies, so we definitely gonna need similar awards for the worst ads every year.

Oddly enough, your Mom

Hi Nathan,

I happened to meet your Mom this morning. Unable to avoid hearing my outspoken and snarky comments about the the "red carpet" celebrity photos in People, she suggested that I check out your web site. She thought I might like your site (this was after I apologized for my outspoken snarkiness but announced that I had no intention of stopping). I checked it out this afternoon.

I like it -- it made me laugh out loud and I've been so sick that precious little makes me laugh out loud these days. Thanks.

And call your Mom, she's a nice lady.

You haven’t mentioned the Rastafarian elephants trying to sell Skippy peanut butter.  I don’t know which is worse – rasta elephants or the goddam song they sing that gets stuck in your head

Hey there nice site

Just stopped by your site.

I got a good laugh when I read your comments to the "Lamisil" and the "Mazda - Zoom Zoom Zoom" commercials.

We have those commercials in the Danish TV too .. And I absolutely HATE THEM!

Man that "zum zum" sound pisses me off! And that Toe-protection-product-something commercial is disgusting.

Anyway keep up the good work!

AOL Commercial

Hi,

The first time I saw that AOL commercial, I turned to my girlfriend and said, "America Online:  Are you stupider than a baby?"  Pretty insulting to their customers I thought..

Good call on "select".  I'd just been accepting it as a noun.  Damn them.

Respek,
