I've been intending to start this thread for a long time. But I decided to finally do it after seeing the horribly annoying Taco Bell "good to go" commercial during the Cubs-Cardinals game. Which commercials do you like? Which commercials do you loathe? That Heineken commercial with that horrible "don't you wish your girlfriend..." song might one day send me on a killing spree.

like I said in another thread..
HEADON, APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD! I want to throw something through my TV every time I see it. I'd rather watch Hobgoblins, Manos, Santa Claus, and Laserblast un-MSTed and all in a row than that and the FreedHem commercial.
I like a majority of Geico and Sonic commercials, though.
oh, and the "good to go" commercials make the baby Jesus cry.

The Headon thing was appalling to see for me the first time (and hopefully the last) the other day. The thing is, they who made it know that but also the fact that it's technique works on some people (idiots). I mean I'd try it but now that I saw the insult of the commercial, I think I'll boycott it. Advil works fine anyway.

I don't know which is worse, the enlarged prostate commercials or the erectile dysfunction commercials.

and as a female, I'm tired of seeing tampon commercials every five minutes. okay! I menstruate! I'm aware of it! stop bombarding me with products I will never, ever use and let me watch the damn game. I know how to take care of my monthly "problem".
as for birth control commercials, I have never sat in a club discussing "my doctor said Yaz is the best!" we know what/how birth control works, we know not to smoke, some of us choose not to care, and we're done with it. nobody needs to be assaulted with personal hygiene/below the belt product commercials at any point in time.

I'm sure it's only local since I'm in Houston, but the nonstop Minute Maid ads are obnoxious as sin

I haven't really watched TV in a long time, but the only times I liked commercials were when the station screwed up and showed a black screen for a minute or two.

Know what's worse than a bad commercial? working with someone who TALKS BACK TO THE BAD COMMERCIAL.
The commercial for Office Max (or some such place) where the goofy guy goes into a store to get his printer toner refilled because altho he put it under his pillow, the Toner Fairy didn't refill it for him...and clerk suggests he just push the red button and voila his toner will be refilled at Office Max (or whatever). The lady at work always says "He is so stupid to believe there is a Toner Fairy."
Please kill me.

Kidz Bop commercials and any commercial which has little kids sing today's pop hits are enough to make me jump off a bridge. I also like to nominate those Enzyte ads(You know the one's with Bob)as some of the worse commercials put on television.

NOTHING was as bad as the women's hygene products commercials they used to run during the soaps.
The one that was pretty disgusting was the perky lady saying, "I don't know about you, but I go through 2 pairs of panties during my period."
Lovely.
Also, the diaper commercials with the messy bm leaks were always appetizing enough to run during All My Children.

Most commercials are horrible, but the bad local ones sometimes crack me up. We have one for a personal injury attorney who looks like he's barging into your room and walking aggressively towards you (camera person backing up the whole time). It's difficult to describe, but funny as hell.
One I like is the Apple vs. PC with Jonathan Hodgman as the PC. It make me laugh.
