I hate the "Viva Viagra" commercial, where the guy pulls up on his huge motorcycle (gee, I wonder what that's supposed to represent...  ) and he has that big, stupid grin on his face. And that song always gets stuck in my head. Ugh....

I hate the Six Flags commercials too. Very annoying.
I also find very distasteful the one for a cell phone having no "bars" in Paris and not getting the call that there is a room available at a 5 star hotel, so the family takes a fleabag room in a tenament house. What I find distasteful and disgusting is the landlord's dog dragging it's butt across the carpet because of worms!  I saw that once and I turn away or leave the room when that commercial comes on. Just disgusting to me.

The Cd-Rom commercials, where you can buy the disks to learn E-Bay, Excel, etc. That guy gets on my last nerve.
Excuse me any men on here, but the certain Tampon commercials-Who the heck has a happy period?

The pepto bismal commerical where the people are singing about heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarhea (and grabbing the parts of their bodies that are affected while they're singing). It grosses me out!

When that commercial first started airing, I HATED it. I got a headache just listening to it! However, when they started doing the follow-up commercial, it all clicked. Have you see the follow-up? Fellow comes on and says, "Head-On, apply directly to the... Head-On... arrrrrgh Head-On, I HATE your commercial but the product is A-MAZING!".
I don't know if the Head-On people made the follow-up commercial because of the backlash to the original or if they'd planned it all along (first, let's annoy them, then let's join them in their annoyance!) but whichever way it happened, it was very effective and very clever. And I've heard from people who've used the product that it actually does work! Score 1 for marketing. Who-da-thunk-it, eh?

I agree but the guy's reaction kills me when he looks at the dog.
