Regarding the medicine commercials, how about the fact that over the half the commercial or so it seems is all the side effects the medicine could have on someone who takes it. Why take the crap to start with? Watch Jeff Foxworthy disortate on this very subject

Exactly.  The cure sounds worse than the disease in some of these cases.

My thoughts.
1. Subway: Commercials are bad, concept is great. One of my best friends is a territorial manager for Subway...his nickname is Footlong...gotten a lot of milage from that. He said their sales are way up because of the ad campaign.
2. Geico: Love the cavemen. The one where the guy is on the people mover in the airport, sees a billboard for "Even a Caveman can do it"....walks against the people mover, stares at the billboard, gets disgusted, and the people mover whisks him away...not a word said...hysterical. One of my all time favorite commercials.
3. Tax relief companies: HATE THAT WHOLE INDUSTRY. There was one recently where some spokesperson said (and I quote): "It's probably not your fault that you accumulated so much credit card debt....wha wha wha....WHAT ?  Personal responsbility is clearly a thing of the past these days. The responsibility of the individual is just as important (if not moreso) as the success of the individual. Nowadays, that definition is clearly being challenged by the direction of the country.
4. Viagra: Hey, if I had an erection that lasted longer than four hours, the last person I'd be calling is my doctor.

Unless she is hot, willing and available!

There's one for a carpet cleaning company that turns my stomach...not sure if it's a regional commercial or a national one. Features a kid screaming to his mom to check out the family dog's "new trick." Then it pans to a big ol' Golden Retriever sitting and "scooting" his backside with his front legs extended across the living room's off-white carpeting, he mom lets out a scream. I hate it and wonder how they found talent (the dog) that could do this trick on command. Sorry, that carpet needs to be torn out and trashed. No steam machine's gonna work on that deal.

You must not have a dog.   

I know the commercial you're talking about, though.

Let's add to the list all the freecreditreport.com ads.

I know this is a thread about bad commercials but there is one on that I just love.  I love the Miller Beer campaign where the black truck driver takes away all the Miller.  I especially love the one where he goes into the luxury suite at the baseball game.

Ditto, truly one of the best.  And isn't he sly besides?

I hate those Geico commercials with the money with eyes.  I don't get it.  I must be missing something

Obviously I hate the cereal commercial.  I also can't stand those sleezy lawyer commercials:  "Injured. Need cash now!?"  blah, blah blah

[warhawk]
