Have you seen the Modern Muse perfume commercial?  

It uses the Lady Marmalade song.

I don't really think I want to smell like that.

 

Oh and the Skittles pox commercial. Just gross.

Is there a commercial that just doesn't make you want to buy the product?

Well, the skittles is targeting kids and teens so I dont' think you are the intended audience for that one, lol.

The little Progressive box. The box is rude and annoying and it has nothing to do with anything..

Though I like the commercials, Carls Jr, the models.

I do not want a burger with so much ketchup and mustard the it drips out. Heck, I don't do fast food burger any way.

Any of the commercials in which the kid is pitching a fit or just allowed to make a mess.

The halo orange commercials with the kids screaming and being brats, there is no way I'd reward that behavior.

And the tide commercial, with the kid eating an ice cream and the grandmother talking about his blankie and keeping it clean.

She just sits there while the kid turns the ice cream upside down on the blanket and then play in it.

I hate most commercials. The ones for The General Insurance are particularly annoying.

I love the Skittles commercials. They're so bizarre.

They definitely are not targeting me.  I do not need the pills and do not want a sexy young wife.

 

 

Wife no, mistress yes.

I dislike all the ambulance chaser commercials where people are screeching about how they got in a wreck and got hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I wish our state would ban those commercials.

I hate the "shock" value commercials as well. PETA in particular.

Ed, you walked right into that one.

I sold penile implants, vacuum erection devices, and papaverine injection kits, and I was a consultant for the Impotence Anonymous groups in Manhattan and Brooklyn. 

It was fun. People asked interesting questions.

 This too.  I hate it so much. 

I will be just relaxing and watching tv before bedtime and up pops a video of the Canadian seal hunt.  I can't sleep when I see a baby seal looking up at the vile piece of crap that is going to strike him again. 

It ruins my whole night and I didn't do anything to deserve that! 

They are just as evil as the people that abuse animals, seriously.

I really can't think of any commercials that make me "want" their product. I can think of many that make me "NOT want" their product though. Chief among them are the "If you only had our product, the job would be so much easier. Look how hard it is when we show you how to use competitor's product improperly." ones.

And sit on a beach in a bathtub... 

 But the men aren't even old.  They're like middle age.  And all the wives ARE young and sexy.  And they don't even sit in the SAME bathtub.  So it's really hard to use your erection when you are separated by two bathtubs.

I just thought of another commercial type I hate, but it's not limited to just commercials, basically hate this in all media the "up to" gimmick.

Ads like: "Trade in your car and get 'up to $6,000'." and they offer you $500 when you drag it to the car lot, because $500 is legally in the range of "up to" $6,000.
