Default What's your most-disliked TV commercial?

Well, for starters,

1. That ridiculous Toyota meteor-proof truck ad. Its plethora of mistakes and absurdities is discussed in another thread somewhere.

2. The car ad that states that the particular vehicle is the "most appealing" of any cars. What the heck does "most appealing" mean? It's never defined in the ad. BTW, this ad failed one of the basics: I really don't recall the actual product.

3. The Viagra (Cialis?) ad with the idiot running around with the apparently permanent ear-to-ear grin. Makes Alfred E. Neumann look positively intelligent and handsome. Glad I don't need that product.

4. The Coors Light (AKA "Cowboy Koolaid") "beer" commercial that is supposedly located at Foxboro, Massachusetts. It shows the temperature as being 100 F. Can't remember the last time it got that hot in Gillette stadium during football season, if ever. But now during the regular season in December it is pathetically hilarious to see the commercial's Patriots fans sweating in the heat while the actual game is being played during a snowstorm.

5. Any and all ads for 4-wheelers that are shown ripping the wilderness to shreds, kicking up rocks, and creating future erosion channels.

6. Any and all ads for SUVs that are shown ripping the wilderness to shreds, kicking up rocks, and creating future erosion channels.

7. Ads for SUVs that show yuppies on mountaintops celebrating their wonderful achievement, i.e., driving their SUV to the mountaintop.

8. Ads for alcoholic beverages where the protagonists appear to be young enough to still be in high school.

9. The Domino's pizza ad where the father allows his children to turn on the light for a few seconds to look at the pizza, and then shut it off, because they're trying to save money. Meanwhile he's ordering delivered pizza, one of the world's great bargains.

Anyone have some other candidates?
