There's a lot of commercials out there that have people who need to go away right now. The annoying guy selling all the household cleaning supplies, for example.

When I am Queen of the World, I fully intend to have a series of remote islands where I will banish people who annoy me. Who should be on the island for annoying people from commercials?

Dude. The King.

Maybe you will need two islands. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to live forever on an island with the King for company.

The Black-Eyed Peas. Please. They are everywhere. Whoever is managing them has overplaced the heck out of them, and it's seriously backfiring, as far as I'm concerned.

My Word. Get it? Yah, it was lame.

Any woman with a "textured" voice.

"You need Relacore!"

No, you need to get off my TV.

I hate that woman, both for the screaming and her sing-song voice.

The worst part of that commercial is that it repeats itself three times in succession. Like, I got it. You are stressing me out just to make me buy your stupid product.

I thought they were only doing that where I live. Are they trying to get people to buy it by pissing them off? Like I'm gonna go, "Okay, I got it! I'm stressed! I'll buy it if you just shut the hell up already!"

Jessica Simpson owns this thread, IMHO.

If I see that stupid Pizza Hut commercial one more time...

I don't know if it's only a local (San Diego) ad, but there's a commercial for Maric College starring the worst actress imaginable, complaining about her jobs until her mom suggests MC. She rushes out her lines with no pauses and no inflections. It's painful, like she never acted ever before, even in a school play.

That sounds like suspiciously like an ad that's airing here in Philadelphia. Maybe they just changed the name of the institution. Does the girl come in bitching about "the boutique" and her waitressing job? IIRC, she flops down on the couch and (maybe) starts taking her shoes off?

There's this red-haired woman whose name I don't know, but lately she's been in every other commercial I see. She started out in those K-Y warming lotion commercials, but then I started seeing her in an infomercial for KB Homes, and then a commercial for blinds, and on and on. I mean, I guess it's good for the actress to be so successful all of the sudden, but it's annoying to see her everywhere. She's overexposed, and I don't even know her name.

WORD to that. It's bad enough she ruined "These Boots Are Made for Walkin,' " but to make a commercial version of the butchered song is all kinds of wrong.

Not even Miss Piggy parodying the song makes up for this. (Yes, a parody of a rewrite of a cover. Somebody make it stop!)

Well, someone up there loves me.

Praise the Lord. If the Canadian Tire family showed up in just one more commercial...death!

The TV ad person who's currently pissing me off is the guy from the Bellsouth ads. I see him roughly a BILLION FREAKING TIMES A DAY, and if I ever see him in person, I plan to bitchslap that smirk right off of his smarmy face.

Yep, that's the one.

Word. And she can take Miss Piggy and those poppin' bites with her.

Amen! She cannot go away fast enough.

I also have to include Patricia Heaton and those damn Albertson's spots. Now they're doing radio, too. I can't get away from them!

I am really tired of seeing the Raisin Bran Crunch commercials. The first two or so were a bit funny, but they have ran these series of ads into the ground. Johnson, his boss, and the rest of that office gang can all just bite me.

I just hate the crunching sound in those. Alright, I have to hear that kind of thing when I eat crunchy stuff, that doesn't mean I want to hear it magnified, in my face, on the TV screen. I'll never 'get' ads thinking gross eating/drinking noises whet someone's appetite.

Local ads can have really annoying pitchmen/women sometimes. In my region, there's this grating "My Bob's" guy, a little guy with an oval, somewhat balding head and scraggly beard who has the worst nails-on-the-chalkboard voice ever, which he emphasizes as he talks. As if that wasn't enough (and, by gosh, don't you think it ought to be?), they occasionally do faux-clever/funny animated furnature bits and things of that ilk that only adds to the weird/annoying vibe.

Lately, a woman shares the ads with Bob. Sometimes she talks like he does, sometimes she's okay. Sometimes ads with just her on them are a relief. But, really, he needs to go. Away.

Bob the Enzyte Guy

We get that you're "naturally enhanced" – now please, stop smiling and go away!

You guys know the incredibly annoying, "Scottish" guy in those Alexander Keith's ads? Well, the actor got arrested for having child porn. Is it wrong that when I heard the news, my first thought was relief that I wouldn't have to see those ads anymore?

The desparate housewives' fifteen minutes are about up, yeah?

I like Marcia Cross, really I do, but that damn 7-Up commercial grates on my last nerve.

Besides the fact that it's stupid, that particular brand of 7-Up tastes like cold buttered ass. Splenda can go away any time now.

Ugh. And after I typed this, I saw a new commercial. Eva Longoria has ruined my favorite beverage. Ruined, I say!

Is there a swamp somewhere where we could send David Spade to be eaten by an alligator? No? Then I'll just have to take my revenge by never, ever having a CapitalOne card.

No it's not wrong clear, he's hated in our house too. My roommate was so pumped when he heard. Wow...that does sound horrible!

The Outback Steakhouse guy. I've never wanted to punch the TV so bad in my life. Well, except for when Jessica Simpson and Miss Piggy are shilling the poppin' bites.

Word. Asslee Simpson, too, although she's not used as much as her sister, thank the good Lord.

I'm adding Silly "Trix" Rabbit and his annoying little people friends. "Trix are for kids!" My butt. Seriously, why can't those kids friggin' SHARE and if that rabbit would just keep running and not stop to tell us that he got the Trix cereal, when we can CLEARLY see it, he would totally get away with it. But no. I hate that guy.

How has no one mentioned Kirstie Alley and her damned Jenny Craig commercials? They're annoying, and I fucking can't stand her. Plus her voice. Her horrible, grating voice. (They're not as bad as her Pier One commercials, but still.)

And I hate the celebrity Neutrogena ads, even when they're celebrities I like. I just find them irritating for some reason. And they usually feature people I can't stand (Halle Berry, Mischa Barton), which doesn't help.

I hate the commercials for the private colleges. Bryman College, Sprott-Shaw, blah blah blah. They have the most annoying female actresses who cannot act to save their lives and the plotline is always the same.

And that "doctor" in the commercial for Spectro-Gel or whatever the fuck it's called. Learn how to read a cuecard without being completely obvious, you moron.

I really hate the ultra-helpful smiling call-center people who gush to the camera about how happy they are to help. I've worked in call-centers most of my adult life. Usually we're throwing things, pounding on the desks, and hissing to the people next to us "You won't believe how batshit crazy THAT one was!" I just really like realism in my commercials, darn it.

Yes, I have an issue with that too. It's impossible to take any pitch person seriously when you remember them as the wife who likes to get freaky with the K-Y. It defeats the purpose of the ad when I see the person as a paid shill.

The same goes for the guy with the curly brown hair who's appeared in everything from dog food commercials to chewing gum ads.

Can we please gag the "I have herpes!" folks? What, you want a cookie?

Let's not forget the Duff sisters, whose current line of commercials used a gimmick already done by the Simpson sisters for the same products.



And before I forget, the Truth dot com people. I'm sure their cause is all well and good, but they seriously need to die. Preferably from lung cancer.

I nominate the Kidz Bop trollz for daring to sing/ruin songs by Weezer and Green Day. HAAAATE!

A pox on that damned creepy Quiznos baby. I haven't seen him (her) for awhile, hope he's gone or good.

I love you, starleen! I, too, abhor Baby Bob.

I also love the poster upthread who mentioned David Spade. Guy's about as funny as a dose of the clap.

While this ad doesn't give me spasms, I can't believe we're this far in and no one has mentioned the can-you-hear-me-now? guy from Sprint.

The can-you-hear-me-now guy is actually from Verizon, and I hate him. Verizon as a company sucks.

Thankfully, even though he's still in the commercials, he's silent now. Can I hear him now? NO. Good.

I'll give you the "canyouhearmenow" Sprint guy, but there ain't better be no one hatin' on the lineman with the hard hat who dances to rave music. He cracks me up every time.

David Spade is so cringeworthy in the "Capital One" ads that I imagine he's losing them business. Indeed, they seem to be phasing him out in favor of the 'genius' who can't get any good rewards so he takes his family for Christmas with the grandparents in the summer, and goes skiing when there's no snow on the ground.

Which, come to think of it, is no improvement, really...

I laughed so hard my stomach hurts now. I generally don't recognize commercial actors, but occasionally I will, and it's always a little disconcerting. And K-Y lady always reminded me of someone. Now I know I've just seen her everywhere. I wish there was an imdb-type site for commercial actors, just for those moments.
The weirdest one for me was seeing Jenny Calendar from Buffy in a McDonald's commercial. And there was this one ad for babies "conceived using such-and-such." Well, that's a fine coincidence that one of those babies is a commercial actor, 'cause he was the funny-looking baby from the GAP ad that ran for, like, a year.

The Ditech guy. You know, "Lost another loan to Ditech!!!" If I ever had to get a home loan, I wouldn't want it from Ditech, just to help the poor, tortured, guy out.

In my area, she's pitching Jewel's Food Stores. "I gotcha cookies! Arncha glad we stopped?" Will she ever go away?

Jessica Simpson has my permission to leave now. I believe there is one more seat left on the bus David "Can He Get More Annoying" Spade is on.

Wasn't he on News Radio, or he looks like a guy on News Radio?

I have a new one : That blonde angel in the Philadelphia Cream Cheese ads (the newer ones where the brunette one consols the blonde one) . My reason? It's totally petty, but my reason for not liking her is she looks like my best guy online friend who I have a crush on's girlfriend. It's a stupid reason, I know but I have to look away from the tv whenever one of these ads comes on, or I'll I dunno, start crying.

Someone brought up Bell South Guy on page 1. Eww. Direct TV shows those ads all the time and in this part of VA you can't even get Bell South!

I remember during the last season of Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central would show this ad 24/7 with this comedian auditioning and he was doing this stupid thing with a mirror or some sort of tv screen and he was saying, "take my wiiifee pplleeeasse!" I think I brought this up 2 years ago (or maybe even last year) in the old commercial thread, but he's still stuck in my head!

She looks a little bit like Patricia Heaton.

I posted that when they first announced he was charged a few weeks ago. I literally went from 'oh my god that's horrible' to 'yes he's gone!' when i found out which actor it was!

I caught a One Night Stand repeat today for a duo called Flight of the Conchords (who are really funny) and realized that Jermaine Clement was the Outback guy. He's from New Zealand. It was nice to know why Outback guy seems so familiar, but still--New Zealand is NOT Australia.

The ads for the "Sleep Number Bed" with Lindsey Wagner. She act like this is a problem on par with starving kids in Africa. Seriously, because of these ads, I refuse to even consider getting one of these beds.

And those damn "Dr. Angus" commercials displease me to no end. I want to choke him with a damn Angus burger.

Whoever is butchering "Time Is On My Side" in those Jenny Craig (or whatever weight loss program it is) commercials can see herself out. And Kirstie Alley can join her. Gah I hate Kirstie Alley's voice with a passion.

I love Lindsay Wagner, and it really, really pains me to see her schilling those mattresses. I don't blame her for the ridiculous tone of the ads. I doubt she was much control over that. I do blame her for taking the gig in the first place, though.


Isn't that Newman from Seinfeld?

I want to strangle the friggin' Afflack duck. I can't stand Gilbert Gottfried in any incarnation.

No. He's an actor named Ron Michaelson. I know this because he was hired by GOB on Arrested Development as part of his Office Magic video.
