I agree that the GIECO commericals are silly, even the ones with the "Real Actors" because I know of no other auto insurance company that hires Hollywood actors to advertise, so what's GIECO's point? The GIECO commericals seem to cheapen the company because the "Real Actors" are like now unemployed, and the real GIECO customers don't come off to me as rich upper-crust people who want to save money with GIECO.
Some of the DISH Network commericals are silly, like the one where the football or basketball player convinces the DISH repairman to dance in the living room because the TV can now get sports 24/7.
I also find the eHarmony commericals where they show real couples kind of corny. To me, the eHarmony commericals reminds me of the "Bachelor" on ABC, which my girlfriends watch. Yeah, the Bachelor meets his dream girl, but the next day after the Finale, they separate anyway. Just because eHarmony shows couples married on TV doesn't mean that they'll live happily ever after.
The "Meet Bob--Enzyte--Natural Male Supplement" is just annoying, made more so because they keep on playing this commerical over and over again! I guess "Bob" was a total sour-puss before he tried Enzyte. Now the jerk can't stop smiling. Boy, if I had a coworker like "Bob" who smiles like that all the time, I'm coming to work in a suit of armor and carry a longsword, LOL!

I think he's smiling like that because what used to be a Red Rider BB gun is now a Barrett's .50 caliber!

I find the "Meet Bob" commercials really annoying because of all the visual double entendres. His hand pointing up at a 45 degree angle mimicking the symbol for Mars, or males. The tall glass of beer is wife is bringing, etc, etc.
As far as the BMW commercial with the screaming kid, I think they must have gotten complaints because the last few times I saw it they had really toned it down. It was much shorter, the volume of the screaming was lower, and it was a lot less annoying. Still annoying, just less so.

Alot of the commercials on the Military channel are so bad they are funny. Urine gone and doggy stairs come to mind.
On the other side I am still laughing at the Fed-Ex commercials they are playing here showing the 2 guys completely stumped as how to get a box to Germany from Canada. Its funny cause it has an element of truth to it.
Also the Bell commercials with Frank and Gordon are pretty funny. My wife loves them.

Actually around here there are Allstate car insurance commercials using Dennis Haysbert from the TV show "The Unit" and "24" (he's also Cerrano from the Charlie Sheen "Major League" movies). http://www.brickyard400.com/news/story.php?story_id=5126
There's another car insurance commercial with a well know Nascar driver in a wreck and as the car is flipping, he is on the phone with an insurance agent and his car is being magically repaired as the car rebounds from the wreck.
The number one commercials I absolutely hate are the ones for lawyers. "Injured in an accident? We can get you up to $10,000 even if it's your fault. Call 1-800-Sue-Anybody right now."

I mainly hate all comercials. The worst are those on the Bl**dy local radio station. I want to hear traffice reports, b ut you get two or three minute of comercials beforehand. Makes me mad.
Love my Sky Plus TV box - record and watch later and fast forward through the ads.

" I have Herpes.. but if I take this it'll help... BUT I may have projectile diarhhea, go blind, or have sexual performance issues.
So great! My Herpes is finally in check but now I'm blind, impotent and confined to a toilet for the rest of my life! I'M CUUURRREEEDDDD!!!!!!

How did I miss this one?................
Any commerical for lawyers or law offices
Those freaky Burger King commercials where the guy with the perpetually smiling 'king' mask is standing at the bedroom window, hiding behind a tree, et al
Something so nightmarish about them.

I truly detest those Hardees ads. You know, the ones with people eating cheese paper and smaking on a huge, sloppy burger. We don't even have a Hardees in my hometown anymore. Man I hate those ads.
Although I must admit I do like the Geico ad with Little Richard: "Mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce, wheeeeeeeew"!

The Kia C'eed advert really ticks me off 
All the man says is "How, why, where, when..." over and over again. Everytime it comes on I have to change the channel because it is that annoying

I haven't seen this commercial on US television, but on YouTube...
Yes, the infamous UNICEF commerical showing the Smurf village being bombed. It's supposed to be antiwar and fill viewers with horror, but so many people hate the Smurfs cartoon it wound up being unintentionally funny. Talk about a commercial disaster.

I think the Campbells microwave soup commercials with the office nerd noisily slurping on a cup of soup is disgusting, like soup out of a can is really something special.

My personal most annoying commercial is the Jeep commercial with the booble heads and the REALLY annoying music. Even if I wanted to buy a Jeep I would NEVER consider one because of that commercial.
Gotta agree with you, really and truly one of the dumbest commercials ever. Why is it, that advertisers all of a sudden think everyone needs to be part of this urban chic revolution?
I also *LOATHE* any mcDonalds commercials. My two sons went thru a very small (thank the Almighty)phase where they sang that " Bod-da-da-da-da" tune that Mcdonalds uses now. I refuse to go there based on the commercials alone.....Well, that and I saw "Supersize me".
The I-pod commercials are annoying as hell too.

For those of you who voted for the Geico Caveman commercials have you heard the latest? Supposedly there is talk about turning them into a sitcom?
