Default annoying commercials

top of my list is the 'grey power' commercial: the one with the dame in the car getting really super upset and jerking her upper torso back and forward whilst driving ... seen a lot of awful women drivers but not ever like this

any other commercials irritate you?

The Cheese one.

But I also don't like those ads that go from birth, growing up, marrying, having your own kids, growing old etc

A whole bloody lifetime in 30 seconds. Depressing.

from wiki

William "Billy" D. Mays (born July 20, 1958) is a television commercial and infomercial salesperson most notable for promoting OxiClean, Orange Glo, and other cleaning, home-based, and maintenance products. His signature yelling approach to pitching an array of products, along with his recognizable beard, have gained Mays a substantial amount of recognition.

Any of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) ads. It's illegal to advertise cigarettes on TV as it could encourage kids to take up smoking, so why is it legal to advertise gambling when this could encourage those who can't afford it to gamble.

Oh yeah, the Province makes money from the OLG, doesn't it. Or am I being cynical.

Anyone who lives in Toronto will be familiar with this guy

He has a few ads but I think this is the worst one.

Well if you need relief from the crap ads..... Go to Youtube (i'd give some links but it's banned at work!).... and search for NZ TV ads....

L&P Stubbies (Or any L&P ad really....)
Togs Undies (It's actually an ice cream ad!)
Toyota Sheep Shagger
Primo


Bloody hilarious..... I miss NZ TV
