Freaking Annoying Commercials!

[tbs fanatic]

Yep, those last two are REALLY ANNOYING

I will try and explain which ads I dislike as obviously the ads I see aren't on American TV.

On pay TV you have endless ads for insurance companies and really crappy products like dust removers and 'miracle' cleaning cloths, not to mention some sort of blanket that the ad solemnly assures you you can wear in public and you won't be laughed it. They are the 'and that's not all... call now and you'll get.... etc etc' ads with the pitch repeated endlessly.

I really hate ads which glorify advertising agencies instead of selling the product. A bank has an ad featuring ad men trying to pitch ad ideas to bank staff, who then come up with lines like 'why don't we just say customer service is important' - self-referential rubbish like that.

FP, by blanket, are you referring to the Snuggie which is also sold here in the US?

Something like this?

How annoying is that and on how many levels?? The music alone is enough to give you a massive headache (we wont even go into the whole fashion sense idea or the idiocy of the product itself)

I must agree the Snuggie is ridiculous. The Today Show gang all dressed up in them a while back and did a little spot about them. It was really funny.

[Freypower]

God yes, that's it! The first time I saw it I could not believe what I was seeing.

Those Snuggies commercials are tres lame - but ticky, the one you posted is a parody with an altered soundtrack. The real commercial is still annoying though:

I bought hubby a snuggie for Christmas as a joke. I'll let you all know how that turns out!

[TimothyBFan]

And you know the Snuggie is EVERYWHERE!!! I saw it in every store we were in yesterday! It's the new Chia Pet.

I remembered this one the other day. I absolutely hate all the commercials that show women as being b*tchy and men as being stupid!! This is one of the worst.
