    Most obnoxious TV add

    There are a ton of TV ads that irritate me and as a rule i pay little attention to them--using that time to go to bathroom, feed dogs, etc.  But I saw one that set my teeth on edge.
     
    A little boy gets an orange soda and shakes it, the top comes off and it sprays all over his mom.  He looks rather stunned.  She yells at him something like 'What do you think you are doing" and then grabs the sink sprayer and starts sparying him and says something like "This works much better" and they are laughing and spraying each other there in the kitchen.  It is a commercial for a paper towel.
     
    This commercial drives me nuts.  What the heck are they teaching l ittle kids to act like in the house.I suppose it is because i am so old, but when I see commercials like this, or shows like the old Roseanne where adults and kids were sitting at the table flipping food at each other, it sets my teeth on edge.  this kind of thing gives the impression that this kind of conduct is okay.  And it isn't.  We use to build tents with sheets spread over chairs, we did make messes with our toys, etc, but to flip food at the table would have sent us to our rooms.  To accidently spray Mopm would not have gotten us in trouble, but we would have cleaned up the mess and most certainly she would NEVER have gotten the sink sprayer and sprayed us right htere in the kitchen and laughed about it.
     
    Anyway, i think this about the most obnoxious ad on TV.  What one gets to you the most?

    OMG - That commercial is my all time "drive me out of my gourd" commercial.   Can you just picture that little scene unfolding in any normal persons' kitchen?  And the kicker is .... you can clean up that God-awful mess with "A" paper towel!  Give me a break!  I've used close to half a roll cleaning up less that.  I'm surprised they don't have a dog running in to pee on the floor.

    Heh, it's probably because I don't have kids yet but I kind of like that commercial. I think it's a kid's greatest dream for their mom to let loose and laugh about a mess and that ad gives me that feeling... for the same reason one of my all-time favorite movie scenes is the "Who's Mommy's little piggy!" dinner scene in A Christmas Story. [sm=lol.gif]
     
    Let's see, most obnoxious TV ad... since I am usually not paying attention to commericals it would probably be the ones where they get a godawful jingle stuck in your head - there's an especially bad bank one, I think it's Citizens, with this boopy beepy tune that lingers for days....

    What one gets to you the most?

     
    That's easy!  "Head-On, apply directly to your forehead.  Head-On apply directly to your forehead.  Head-on apply directly to your forehead."  
     
    I can't stand that ad and the voice over yelling that product name at me repeatedly!!

    The one I hate is for a male performance product. This tall leggy blonde is flirting across the room with an ugly guy who is old enough to be her father. And she leaves with him because he uses the product. How does she know that he uses it?

    I'm sure Billy will be along shortly to answer your question Ron..[;)] But I too hate those commercials. I really hate the ones with "Bob" and how they show his wife grinning from ear to ear while he suggestively grills hotdogs and looses his bottoms in the pool. *sigh*

    It can't be that- I have kids & I like that commercial.  And, yes, growing up, we did have a few water fighte in the house- with the hose.  Mom & Dad started it, too.
     
     
    ..."Head-On, apply directly to your forehead.  Head-On apply directly to your forehead.  Head-on apply directly to your forehead."   ...

     
    They actually changed that commercial- Thank God!  Now it starts out the same, but the tape stops and another actor/actress says how annoying that commercial is, but the product works great.
     
    The most annoying commercial out there now is the Vonyage commercial.  I find it so annoying that I can't even remember how it goes now- I change the channel or hit the mute button as soon as it comes on.

    I've seen that commercial, too. But the one I'm thinking of involved a different product.
     
    But the one you mentioned, they have their own NSCAR racing team and motorcyle racing team. Incredible!

    Ron, seriously?! They have their own teams?! Oh geez...
    • Gold Top Dog
    They have their own teams?! Oh geez

     
    In the spirit of "American Choppers," they even had their own "reality" show where you could watch the mechanics work on the race car and watch the motorcycle riders get griped out by their coach.

    ew, i hate the toenail commerical too! I don't know if it's just around here, but toyota has a new theme song that i hear on the Tv and radio 20397493 times a day. It's some cheesy 80s type song that gets stuck in my head..."it keeps you runnin' yeah, it keeps you runnin'" i wanna shoot myself everytime i hear it.

    I cannot stand the new Subway commercial.  When it comes on, I either mute the TV or change the channel.  Jared and some football player are comparing the reasons they like Subway sandwiches.  The football player insists they have more meat, while Jared gives his reason (I don't remember his reason, but the "more meat" thing grates on my nerves).  Finally, the football player screams "MORE MEAT!!!" in the most annoying voice.  It's thirty seconds of torture.  And the whole thing is a crock of $hit.  If anyone has eaten a Subway sandwich, then you know they consist of thick bread, tons of veggies, and a trace of whatever meat you choose.
