Ad campaigns that make me want to punch random passers-by in the throat

1. The holiday Gap ads, with the cheerleader-like chanting.

2. The mother****ing Old Navy mannequins.

3. The IPod commericals with people lip-synching into their color-coordinated IPods.



Which commercials fill you folks with murderous rage?

[DanS]

Wow, man. That's why God created DVRs and the 30-second skip button.

[DirtyMartini]

This is ooouurrr countreeeee
Like a rock
When I think value, I think of Wrangler

the Nike puppets (as I have mentioned elsewhere) fill me with glee.

[Asher]

Mostly the same stupid **** they air every hockey game.

Scotiabank is one of the worst offenders.

Yeah... that's the problem with live sports. Almost everything else I watch is commercial free or I can zap/zip the commercials. But live sports... If I have to see the Toyota commercial when they are looking for the dog one more time, I'm going to go blow up the nearest Toyota dealer.

Someone call Homeland Security.

[SlowwHand]

The robot are whatever the **** he is during a certain network's NFL games.

[Tuberski]

Lexus December to remember.
He got it at Jared's.
All the tax refund commercials that start on Jan.1 and end Apr. 15.

ACK!

My first thought was 'pick any drug-company commercial'. After some reflection, my second thought was that I despise them all. Thanks to the respite of DVR, my BP elevates when I'm forced to watch any commercials these days.

I want a hippopotamus for christmaaas
Only a hippopotamus will doooo
No crocodile or rhinoceroces

And hippopotamuses like me tooo

I know it by heart

[Japher]

The NCAA ones that indicate they teach "student athletes"

Also, all the healthcare reform commercials that they're still bombarding Nebraska with even though Ben Nelson already sold out. I particularly hate the ones that repeat the lie that healthcare reform will lower the deficit.

All the ones I really loathe (that I can think of) have already been mentioned, so I'll point out a commercial that I actually like: that BK commercial that tells you to get $1 gift cards for all your "third-, fourth- and fifth-rate gift recipients...the card tells them you almost care." Something like that. I don't watch much TV, but we need more assholish holiday commercials.

EDIT: Guy, you forgot the various commercials where they have people singing "great holiday bargains" to the tune of Christmas carols. At first it was just Best Buy doing it, but now I think someone else is too. Can't recall who exactly, so obviously it isn't that effective, but still, yuk.

Also, the various freecreditreport.com commercials, especially the one who sings about how he married his "dream girl" because he didn't know she had bad credit. Because these days, you can't have a true love with bad credit.

Oooh, and that obnoxiously smug "boom to the power of boom" PS3 executive. Can't forget him.

[Guynemer]

Oh holy ****, forgot that one. I start bleeding from my eyeballs when that comes on.
