The new modern one or the folksy guitar one? That folksy one is creepy and weird. The new one is completely forgettable, but not as bothersome.

Not a TV commercial, but the 1800 Kars for Kids commercial that plays all the time on ESPN 980.

Switching over to radio, does anyone else find the 1-877-Kars for Kids commercials kind of creepy?  And annoying?

The only thing worse than listening to FP is the Old Spice - Head & Shoulders commercial

The gerbils on ecstasy in the Kia Soul ad are fairly disturbing.

The Jappy Luna ad might be one of the all-time worst.  I will never give Luna any business purely because of what that ad has done to our quality of life.

I'm hating the ones for Medifast where fat girl one is talking to less fat girl two and tearing up about how happy she is to have lost the weight, and it's the same girl. Stupid stupid stupid.

NO NO NO, I'm not hating on fat people, I'm at least 20 pounds over weight. I just hate the commercials trying to convince people that they should be a weepy because they are fat and not being fat anymore will make you happy. Not to mention trying to sell you something when eating better and exercising is a proven way to lose, maybe you'll never be skinny, but you can still be the best you you can be. Chunky or no. Luckily my husband thinks I have a nice ass and doesn't mind my muffin top too much. NOT A HATER! :)

I'd give you a compliment now but don't want TBC after me with a giant bottle of Sriracha!

The Fidelity adds with the people holding pictures of various stages of their life over their faces.  It's not the visuals.  It's the freaking banging on the piano so much louder than the tv show that precedes it.  It's a real problem on Morning Joe.  I'll flip on the TV and listen to some talk while I'm making  breakfast or eating, then this commercial will come on, I'm nowhere near capable of turning down the sound, and I'm worried about the pinging either waking a neighbor or interfering with the electronics of a landing plane at National airport.

Honda needs to stop showing these "Happy Honda Days" commercials because I'm starting to get pissed off I can't buy a full album of the Michael Bolton songs.  Dammit, they're catchy!  :-[

Didn't they pass legislation on the max volume of commercials?

Yes.  http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/loud-commercials

Looks like it went into effect December 2012 but companies could get a waiver for a 1 year extension.

In the past I've enjoyed their ads, but those new musical Old Spice commercials are so unbelievably bad and irritating.

Anyone else hoping that Arnold is playing ping pong against his old friend, Fmr. Gov. Jesse Ventura?
