I hate the Yoplait commercials where the woman screeches.  My current favorite...the Chantix turkey.  Love those ads!

The worst to me is the one a woman is sitting on the toilet addressing an audience of millions about god knows  what (toilet paper?)  I never found out.  I switched instantly off.  Thank you god...for remotes.

The newest Worst Commercial for me is the one about filing your taxes - it might be Turbotax or some other tax prep service - and they are singing and standing up moving their legs in and out in various scenarios.  What is that all about?  Every scenario has somebody moving their legs and bopping up and down singing about their taxes.

 

The political commercials are getting to me also.  One has a song I used to enjoy but after seeing and hearing this commercial a couple hundred times (so it seems) I have to mute it.

The Honey Bunches of Oats commercial drives me crazy because I can't get the song out of my head and they play it every commercial break on TLC and I don't even like this cereal. Lol

Jason Momoa's 'skinny man' commercial...I find it disturbing somehow. Not funny to me at all, yet it was one of the top-rated Super Bowl commercials this year.

That commercial has been playing for a few years. It does what commercials are supposed to do, it gets your attention.  It certainly got yours.  It gets your attention and if you happen to like that type of candy, they hope the name sticks in your mind and you pick up a bag.  I've seen that commercial 1000 times over the years, I didn't know there was music...LOL

The worst?

 

The "Down Under" commercial for Cottonelle.

 

A peach is sitting on a sand chair at the beach (the peach obviously resembles a human boton). A person wipes the peach and the wipe is shown with a brownish stain.

Any shows I watch with commercials are recorded.  I watch them in the evening commercial free.  It gives me a little perverse pleasure to fast forward through them.

I rarely watch a commercial. I flip over to QVC when one comes on.
