There's something about car insurance, I guess, since Geico has innumerable awful commercials - the cavemen, the talking pig, the guys playing banjos, the guy made of money, the guy with the slicked-back hair spouting aphorisms, etc.
About a year ago I mentioned on here that John McCain came on the Imus show right after that commercial and when asked about it jokingly said whoever made that commercial should be killed.
but I'd give an honorable mention to "Let me get a McPick 2", Puppy Monkey Baby, and that Dorito's commercial where they're doing a sonogram the father is teasing the fetus with a chip.
One that wasn't that annoying at first but has been around for like 5 years now is that stupid Nick Backstrom Geico commercial where he skates around to a generic rock song ("I did it, for the love of the gaaaameee"). Go away already.
In case you’ve never heard it (let’s trade lives!), the jingle starts with what can only be described as anti-music—a limp tapping of the cymbals and a twangy, bouncy circus-like beat. The voice of a young boy recites the jingle (I’ll spare your sanity by not repeating it) with the enthusiasm of a kid that’s been dragged off the playground and held in front of a studio microphone at gunpoint. The jingle is then repeated by a man who sounds like Bob’s Burgers’s monotoned title character doing a half-assed Johnny Cash impression. Some information about the charity and tax deductions is then rattled off by a spokesperson but by that point, your brain has shut off, having been lulled into a mushy pile of numb cells whose singular thought is this: Kill.
drive me crazy. They show a person getting creamed in an accident and then say they survived because "Suburu is made with love"...duhhh. As an engineer for my entire adult life, I know that everything in the world of complex manufacturing is made with a combination of engineering skills, fine tuning manufacturing operations to maximize profits and efficiency, and some infighting over style, color, etc. Trust me, engineers don't sit in a circle singing Kumbaya and pondering how much they love their customers and then design cars with love. They design with the objective of selling as much product as possible to keep the stockholders happy. Just irritating. The only thing made with love is a baby....or maybe a personally made bouquet of flowers for a friend. Not cars.
Xifaxan ads also are unbearable. It's a medicine to help people stop from shitting themselves. It shows a walking talking pink intestine and the things mouth is supposed to be the rectum.
Myrbetriq ads with a pink bladder grabbing the hand of a woman and taking her to the bathroom because she always has to pee.
where they attach a cam to a shampoo bottle and it becomes a comb.
I see this commercial so frequently. I've actually seen it aired back to back. I've switched the channel only to find that 2 other channels also happen to be airing the commercial as well.
With the girl calling her car Brad. Can't stand it. Have to change the channel as soon as she pops up on the screen.
Good call...I cringe when she comes on and if I'm near the remote, change channels immediately. She needs to be slapped up side the head for acting like a moron. Anyone who names their car needs a good slapping to come back to reality. Grrrr
Sprint person is so annoying. I only ever heard cars for kids on the radio and one note and I'd change the station - for an hour as a punishment to them for playing it.
but the dancing Sprint person looks like she stuck a fork in a socket.
no clue how that passes marketing. I always felt like I'd never switch to Sprint in any circumstance, now I don't even want to associate with Sprint users.
The Men's Wearhouse cheap suits were the worst - "You're Gonna Like the Way You Look... I Guarantee It"
So what happened if you didnt like the way you look? Do you get your money back? No? Then fuck off.
DraftKings and FanDuel commercials are also the worst too. It's gambling. Which is fine, but lets not market it to teenagers and mass audience please. Take it elsewhere.
Those Subaru "stories" commercials are without a doubt the most douche chill inducing commercials of all time. I wouldn't drive a Subaru for free just because of those commercials.
I see FLO as one of those annoying specimens, where the CEO and the bigwigs at Progressive are just rubbing it out to the angry backlash about her while they get more richer. It's obvious she is just sticking around longer than people want. That act got stale 8 years or whatever it was ago. Let it go! Let it go!
but I encourage anyone to actually look up the Kars for Kids charity. While some may view their mission as a charitable endeavor, I personally would rather my car donation go to something like cancer research. Frankly I think its fairly sheisty how non-transparent they are.

who has that commercial now where a panel comments on the car with emojis? Whatever that commercial is, that's the worst, along with the Bon Jovi one. Simply putrid, both of them.

good point... any commercial that says the word "hashtag"

Speaking of Chevy -- those "Our Country, Our Truck" commercials. You've got some set of balls to make that claim. How about putting out a superior product and earning that right.
Also Rapid Advance whose commercial makes a high school play look like Broadway.
Worst of 2016--the abomination that is Puppy Monkey Baby. Everyone involved in the creation of that should be castrated. It reminds me of Dr. Mephesto's sidekick from South Park but computerized.
when the NFL had this guy on the Thursday Night Football commercials Â
It was horrible when we had to listen to some country bumpkin singing it. Now they have 5 of the fuggliest kids with awful glasses, messed up teeth singing a song about a charity full of scandal.
I am starting to lose my mind with the Bon Jovi Directtv commercial. Turn back time to when my career was something good and I didn't need to sing for my supper.
Some local ads make the grade.
Hey where's Rosco?
Dial 7, Dial 777-7777 or is it 666-6666 for car service. They all suck.
Most of the cheesy steak house commercials in the city. Sound like a porno commercial. I just picture BIG, JUICY, STEAK with BONE IN as they play that music.
RE: The commercial With the girl calling her car Brad. Can't stand it. Have to change the channel as soon as she pops up on the screen.
This commercial is nails on the chalkboard.
In her four years with "Brad" she went through 3 jobs and two boyfriends. That's not a lot of staying power in important relationships. I'm guessing she was dumped and fired in all cases because no one can stand being near her.

Many of the "Flo" commercials suck also.

that puppy monkey baby idiocy from the super bowl was pretty bad too

It's really starting to piss me off.
Is that him on the "turn back time" commercial?

my wife's pick is a Little Caesar's ad with a pizza moon saying "PIZZA TIME!!"
she gets angry lol
The NY lottery commercials are awful too

+ 1 gazillion
right - you sound so sincere
and another stupid insurance commercial:
"What are you supposed to do, buy 3/4 of a car?"
No you nimrod, you buy a smaller/cheaper car, or you pony up some cash.
good point... any commercial that says the word "hashtag"
+1. And by the way, they are not a legitimate charity.

TV Progressive / Flo.
Could not F'ing stand her voice..............
I second this choice. Hate it and the whole thing is a scam too.
Could not F'ing stand her voice..............
Not to mention that whole babies nine months after superbowl ad last year was a blatant rip-off of what the World Cup had done 18 months prior.
Also Rapid Advance whose commercial makes a high school play look like Broadway.

Yes, this commercial was absolutely terrible!
A great narrator wouldn't have been able to save it.
I worked on 2 of the commercials listed here.

PUKE!
Those are here in the Tampa area now. My wife immediately changes the station when she hears his voice come on.
