#1 commercial that makes you want to smash your tv

LandRover with the red ball.  I will laugh out loud at every chump I see driving a rover with dealer tags.

the PNC children's naming rights commercial should be banned and all copies destroyed. But the owner of the tanning salon should get his own HBO Max series.

I'm there with the Ellen DeGeneres skin stuff with the customer explaining her love of the product into a cellphone like video. Not going to criticize cosmetics. If it helps you feel better about how you present yourself, great. What I'm beginning to hate is these commercials that try to package "influencer" types & an Instagram/ TikTok look where I am supposed to jump out and buy something because some rando is talking into their camera about it.

Anything with Jennifer Coolidge or Kevin Hart in it...

[1995hoo]

Anything featuring Spanberger, Sears, Jones, Miyares, or Hashmi.

The Capital One ads with Jennifer Garner in them. Her baby talk and that dazed, faraway stare she constantly does are so grating.

Rexulti redhead. It's an anti-depressant, ok, but she walks through the commercial with a smile that looks like The Joker.

PenFed corridor of death at IAD...if it weren't for the confiscated guns at the TSA checkpoint, Penfed corridor would be like Jonestown

Every Liberty Mutual ad.

Their advertising budget has to equal or exceed most countries' GDPs at this point.

I kind of like the LIMU Emu.

I wonder if they realize how many potential customers they are actively alienating and even angering by forcing them to walk through that awful 3-D commercial. Probably not.

someone posted on reddit a few weeks ago that they recorded the jingle and played it randomly through the C&D terminal.  Somehow they got out alive.

As a tonic to all the crap ads in this thread, one of the all time classics. The CGI even holds up better than modern Marvel films.

For us, typically the most annoying ad will be whatever plays the most during Caps games. This season, there’s a further wrinkle—because YouTube TV doesn’t carry Monumental, we watch the games via the Monumental+ app, to which we get a subscription as part of our Caps season tickets. But they don’t air the same ads through the app that they do on the channel carried by TV providers. Instead, they largely air the same three or four ads at every commercial break—which, right now, means that at least once during each commercial break (and sometimes twice), we see the ad for some online branding service featuring the two female real estate agents in which one of them rebrands herself to look like some medieval figure sitting on a throne made up of open house signs. That ad has quickly become almost as annoying as political ads during the fall campaign season (or when David Trone is running for something, given how many ads he runs).

A couple of thoughts.  The commercial ran in 2000, 8 years before HP acquired EDS so the banner at the top was added later.  At the time, I was working for Perot Systems, which Ross Perot had founded after a falling out with GM, who had acquired EDS in 1984 (but later disposed of in 1996).  We had a lot of ex-EDS-ers at Perot Systems, and this commercial was quite the topic of water cooler conversations for many days, quite the classic.

Tom Brady's Pizza Hut commercials. Dude, you literally formed a business out of your stupid diet. You haven't had a slice of pizza in 15+ years

It must be the only time he's appeared on TV and not said 'WOW'...

When does Peyton Manning do a commercial for the Omaha tourist board?
