Weird or the most annoying tv commercials

I think the KFC Extra Crispy Colonel ads are just weird. I'm also tired of the Progressive ads with "Flo". I guess we need to record programs but we never get around to watching them lol. What would you vote for as the worst tv ads?

Liberty Mutual Insurance & Jimmy John's. ITA re: KFC & Flo.

Then I have to stop & think maybe I'm watching too much tv.

I still haven't figured out the Volvo one where a blonde woman is driving. She uses the mirror to look at a man in the backseat who is fiddling with his wedding ring. She selects a song and he gives her a small smile. Just weird.

I haven't seen that one yet @tansy.

Flo, and that girl for one of the cellphone companies (I forget which company), the gecko, beer ads, and currently political commercials.

As a matter of fact- I dislike commercials so much, I try to dvr every tv show to watch later so that I can scan the commercials out! lol.

@tansy. There's another one where he's in the car talking to an unseen person about "...the day your daughter gets married..." - as if he's the Dad. They are a little too abstract for me, but not as dumb as Matthew McConnaughey talking Zen in his Lincoln Continental.

I interpreted it to be that they were coming from the funeral of his wife and the driver's mother. He is holding a gold band.

OMG!

I don't usually don't post on this forum but this thread caught my attention. I am so tired of "creepy" commercials. I hate the Synders of Hanover commercials with the "Pretzels, Baby" lady. She looks like a female "Damien" of The Omen movies! There are many other creepy commercials out there and have made it my resolve not to purchase from these companies. Since when did "creepy" equal advertising? If a company cannot tell me or convince me why their product is better without the "creep", I'm not buying!

Interesting...I'll keep your scenario in mind next time I see it.
