Advertisements

There are some ads that completely turn me off to the service/product they're trying to promote. Kars 4kids is at the top of my list. That song makes me want to stick an ice pick in my ear. Also, anything Chris Core is peddling, and that list is extensive.

Any local ads that send you around the bend?

Oh, I find Kars For Kids kinda catchy......"K.A.R.S......Kars for kids!"

I do agree with regarding the Chris Core's commercials. Why would I care what he thinks?

The other night I saw a commercial for Beyer Kia that was awful--the "what nobody's talking about" one.

But I LOVE the Eastern Motors commercials!

Probably not local ads, but I'm getting tired of Sanjay Gupta telling me I should give up every good tasting food under the sun because it will kill me.

Yeah, she goes straight to mute/FFWD.

Thankfully I haven't heard the "CABINET DISCOUNTERS!" jingle in many moons...of course we still have 800-588-2300 EMPIRE!

I can't stand that pig on the GEICO ads. He isn't even fat.

GEICO ads used to be very creative, but I'm tired of the gecko, can't stand the pig, and think the "well, did you know that ..." ads are dumb.

Also there's some car dealer that has a sort of cartoon/animated version of himself, with a horse, that's kind of weird and creepy.

This one's not a local ad, but I'm so sick of the annoying parents on the Gerber Life College Savings Plan commercial that I hope their children all drop out instead of going to college .

They had EMPIRE when I was a kid, and I'm 37.
