So, which commercials make you want to throw your TV into the sun?

Here's one that sets my teeth on edge every time it comes on.

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room! -- President Merkin Muffley

My mom was a religious fundamentalist. Plus, she didn't have a mouth. It's an unusual combination. -- Bender Bending Rodriguez

Hydra009

Quote from: "aileron"What's a commercial?
=D>  One of the many perks of being a mildly competent computer user.

As for any commercials that I've regrettably been bombarded with outside of my home: (in ascending order of horribleness)
1.  Political ads
2.  Car dealerships
3.  Infomercials
4.  Local (read: low budget) commercials
5.  Cell phone commercials
6.  Pill commercials

These were particularly bad:

It's a little purple gremlin that lives in your underwear drawer and chews holes in your silks and poops out candy corn.

I cannot stand the Kia hamsters.  They make my skin crawl.
Please don't take anything I say seriously.

Neat.  Seriously though, I don't think I've seen a commercial in three or four years now.  I have ad blocking software on my computers and smart phones.  Cable sucks lately as it's been targeting lowbrows so I cut it.  It's easy to get everything off of streaming services or what's not available there is available in the deep, dark corners of the internet.  Hook up a home theater PC or other box capable of running XBMC and you're all set.

First alert commercials.. I've fallen and I can't get up!
There's a new one now, some other shitty brand, but aren't they basically just cell phones that you can't place a call from? :roll:
All hail my new signature!

Admit it. You're secretly green with envy.

Smartmarzipan

Oooh, another one that I hate.

words cannot describe my utter and complete hatred for this commercial and all whom were part of it

I don't get video on this shit phone anymore so.. dunno..  #-o

I've fallen and I can't get up! I checked this out for my 2 elderly sisters. If you are more than 150 feet from the console, you are screwed; which means you can't travel very far anyway. If you have a cell phone in your pocket with a 911 preset, you basically save a step and have greater range.

The bitch on the Progressive commercials and the Geico commercials. Gag.
