Have any of you seen the Schick commercial where three women's bikini clad bodies are front and center?  There are three little trees or bushes - one directly in front of each woman, so that the leafy part is directly in front of the woman's um, private parts.  The razor then proceeds to trim the bushy part and they talk about what a great job this razor does.  It's beyond double entendre and my mouth hung open for the next 5 minutes.  I couldn't believe that this was on TV at 7:50 at night. I've seen a couple more times and still can't get over the fact that it was allowed and that someone at Schick had such bad taste to think this would sell razors.

I have a Tivo, so I almost never watch live TV and fast forward through commercials, missing almost all of them.

I don't like the KFC Colonel ads, either. Why do they keep changing the actor? Why did the first one sound like a bad George W Bush impersonator? Why bring back an antebellum plantation image at this point in American history? (Even though the real Col. Sanders lived 1890-1980, he looks like he stepped right off the set of Gone with the Wind.)

But my vote for most annoying ad is a local ad that plays in the middle of the day or late at night because they can't afford prime time. It's an ad for a law firm and all they did was repeat their phone number over and over again.

It was so ubiquitous that a florist made a parody ad out of it, which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLSRh3Cbtws

Oh that one about lactose intolerance with that stupid woman in her leotard representing your digestive system.

Those Time Warner commercials are just so annoying and BORING (no wonder their rates are high they have to pay for all the commericals)---at least some of the Direct TV commercials with "the settlers" and NFL players are sometimes humorous....

Any car commercial EXCEPT the Subaru dog/cat commercials......

Liberty Mutual---Tired of hearing these whiny people!!! These people didnt want to pay the extra for Accident Forgiveness or Total Replacement then they blame the insurance company---GET REAL and GET OFF MY TV!!!

In fact VERY FEW of the commercials these days are very creative, clever, or funny (even during the Super Bowl)...for the most part ALL are BORING AND ANNOYING!

I really despise almost all of the Yoplait yogurt commercials.  The worst one was where the family (maybe four people) are eating yogurt and  are all "mmmm," "mmmmm, " "mmmmm!"  So irritating. I usually can't get to the remote soon enough to mute it. The new ones are only a little less annoying.  I won't buy Yoplait yogurt!  Give me Dannon anytime.  I loved the John Stamos commercials from a couple of years ago.  

Also, the COPD pharmaceutical  ad where the story of the little wolf is being read by the grandfather. The little granddaughter says "like you do grandpa" in reference to "huffing and puffing." How rude!  (maybe just being a typical kid, but still irritating)

Well-for me----it's gong to be the mega ton of political commercials that will be hitting the airwaves soon. Getting some now. I HATE THEM!!!  Then there is the one about going without under pants with that British woman and also the one about the red bears for toilet paper. Anything to do with the little blue pill or womens hygiene makes me cringe.

@tansy Thanks for that!  Now it makes sense - his wistful smile at his wife who is driving, & her understanding smile back.  I've only seen the other commercial a couple of times while I've seen this one numerous times.

Now what the heck does that have to do with Volvos?

Hah!  Maybe the next commercial will involve a crash because the driver was not watching the road but they are all fine because they owned a Volvo😳😜😊

One of the most annoying commercials to me is the Safelite windshield replacement one. "Safelite repairs, Safelite replace".

[colliegirls]

HATE, HATE, HATE  the political ads.
