Most Annoying Commercials
Only a couple days left of the political ads... 
Outside of those, what do you think is the most obnoxious/annoying television ad running right now? I'd have to go with the Toyota "Saved by Zero" campaign. Sorry, but that little jingle just isn't doing it for me! I'll almost be as glad when it's over as I will the election!

Re: Most Annoying Commercials
Save by Zero by far. Worst commercial I have seen in a long time. Me and friends were just talking about how annoying it is.

"Save by Zero?" So THAT'S what they are saying. I've listened to that stupid ad dozens of times and never could understand what they are saying.

Re: Most Annoying Commercials
I'm immune to the political crap. Saved by zero is annoying and makes no sense at all. But the one that really irritates me is the Wilsonville car dealer ad where people just hold up signs. Huh?

Re: Most Annoying Commercials
The most, far and away for me is the two guys in the baby carriages making the "Waaaaa Waaaaa" sounds!
I don't know or care what they are selling, but the thing that amazes me is they play it during sporting events ALL THE TIME. What demographic are they trying to sell to?
It isn't working for me anyway. At least I know Save by Zero is Toyota, obnoxious as it is.
What's next, fingernails on a chalkboard?

"Saved by zero". Didn't know who it was for until I read this thread. I always turn it off.
Billy and the sham wow dude are right up there too. Also that guy that has the electronics that screams at the tv.

Re: Most Annoying Commercials
Glad to see I'm not the only one annoyed by that "saved by zero" ad. But if I'm watching a live sporting event I ususally just hit the mute botton when the commercials start. Then at least, I don't have to hear the damd things. Otherwise I record it to the DVR (Directv) so I can watch it later and warp through them.
By warping though the commercials it's possible to watch an hour long program in under 45 minutes.

By far the most irratating commercial is that dude from the Sham Wow commercials. Guy looks like he just got his butt kicked. Twitchy little sucker.

Re: Most Annoying Commercials
Saved by Zero takes the cake.
While they're funny, the PC vs. Mac commercials have crossed the line and are SOOO annoying, IMO. I've run Vista since it's been out. It's as fine as any OS out there. Apple makes some really nice gadgets, but to bash a platform over and over and over, it's become too much.

As soon as ANY commercial comes on, I either mute the sound, or switch to my waiting video game for the inturruption. I am getting really good at my sense of timing! I don't watch the commercials, I can't stand them.

Re: Most Annoying Commercials
Life insurance commercials selling product to folks who appear to be affluent enough (or old enough) to not need the stuff. They got a $500,000 home and can't afford their own funerals....gimmy a break.
Cleaning products doing the work of plain water....yea, right.
Coors Light (and a lot of others) being called "beer."
Binder & Binder, Ronnie Deutch etc.
Houshhold disinfectants keeping you home free of germs and your family safe. What a load of garbage....
Toothpaste making your teeth whiter and brighter. Yes, you can be a movie star (pretty people) if you use our product.

Re: Most Annoying Commercials
Most of the hunting shows I us to like to watch. They are nothing but an infomercial. “Where’s my buck? There it is right by the camera man.” I could have never made that shot, (while sitting in a tree house) if I didn’t have _______________________. “Boy that was a tough hunt.”
My wife laughs at me because I still watch them but complain the whole time.

Re: Most Annoying Commercials
Any of the ones they are showing at the movie theaters  What happened to the day when you went and saw a few previews and the the movie? The last movie we went to started 15 minutes late because they have to get all their plugs in (car commercials etc.) before they even start showing previews. Advertisement is just plain out of control.......
