Here's one I haven't seen yet.....close ups of all the different people's mouths, lips and tongues saying "li-mon" or something. It is an advertisement for Haggen Das I believe. (It was just on, which reminded me to add it to this thread. However, I mute it and turn my eyes away). It is awful.
Here's the latest one that annoys me for more than one reason: Erin Andrews espousing the virtues of a product called TruBiotics that supposedly aids digestion. In fact, she's having a very negative effect on MY digestion. First of all, the commercial shows her literally CHASING people who appear to have no relationship to her so she can preach to them about this OTC drug. Now in case you've forgotten, Erin Andrews was famously the victim of a stalker — and in this ad she appears to BE one. Do they actually want us to remember that subliminally? Second, Erin Andrews might have been a famous sideline reporter for the NFL (or so I am told) but she has one of the worst voices on TV. She literally shrieks her love of this product. Fingernails on the chalk board. I can't hit the mute button fast enough. I hate these ads as much as I hate the insurance commercials with the talking piglet.
Everything Anheiser Busch. I watch a lot of baseball, and I hear the the Bud Light Lime commercial in my sleep. It haunts me. Macro beer advertising in the US is all nauseating.
The two guys for Sonic, or anything with Flo for Progressive make me cringe. Really can't think of too many more since we fly through them with the DVR so they are little more than a blur. One day, years ago, I went to my Dad's house, and he was watching a Latino station on TV. I asked him if he understood what they were saying? When he told me no, I asked why he was watching it then? His answer, " No commercials."
Any Cox Communications commercial with the annoying short, skinny guy with the big head. I'm not sure if it's a local or national commercial, but the guy is beyond annoying.
Not when you have a wife next to you getting all huffy because 'you men like to flip the channels'...yes because I don't feel like sitting there like zombies having senseless ads being fed to us. We're paying for tv,I'm going to find some;
In my house it's the opposite, he just zones out thru the commercials, I am flipping channels, which irritates him. We solved the problem with separate tv's.
right now, one of my most irritating is the "your hiney will be thankful", giggle giggle. I don't like the Heineken one's either, too much noise and big production going on. I'm always looking for them to make sense. Perhaps the idea is that the beautiful people drink Heineken. not sure
The ones for The Hopper (or "the harper" in their Boston accent).
The Sonic guys are just annoying and don't give me a reason to go to Sonic
Anything for toilet paper, bathroom cleansers, or personal items (I think we know what we need to use without them shoving it in our eyeballs every 5 minutes!)

I'm not reading all of the preceding posts, so just in case no one's mentioned the Cialis/Viagara commercials...allow me.
What gets me about these is how the men have gotten younger and younger which, of course, allows use of younger women as partners. When Viagara was first introduced, the average age of men for whom it was prescribed was 62.
The companies chose to market to men on the younger side of average rather than the average age (or the older side of that average), and the women's hair got longer, too. Let's put it like this: There's noway those company execs wanted Edith Bunker in one of those tubs.
Oh I cannot stand those awful Cialis/Viagra ads - they make me cringe!
And I think your explanation is exactly right - the male actors are getting younger :-0 And so we now have the "young" old women - the whole presentation is just "off" and I think that's why the ads annoy me so much. Most of the guys look late 40's early 50's - they should surely have no trouble getting it up at that age :-0
Reverse Mortgages, especially for AAG with Fred Thompson and One Reverse Mortgage with Henry Winkler.
Life Insurance, especially for Colonial Penn with Alex Trebek where he says how many hundreds of thousands of people have already called for information. How misleading is that? I wonder how many older viewers realize that the number of callers has no relation to the number of buyers.
