Default Best and Worst Commercials of All Time

If you could name ONE commercial you hate, what would it be?

Rules: Must be in the past or present, and have to be on air already. If you could, a video would be great to help others out, who haven't seen it (not required).

You must describe it, and if it's a dirty (use your head here) commercial, please just describe it lol. Also, a reason WHY would be great.

Mine would be the one with the dell guys singing "lollipop, lollipop...." with the crazy machines in blue uniforms making commercials.

I swear to God, if I see it ONE more time it'll add itself to my iTunes playlist, I already hear it enough already, it's stuck in my head atm -.-"

So what's your most annoying commercial?

the Enzyte commercials with Smiling Bob.

sometimes they'll even have it play twice in a row, and it's at those times that i want to throw myself out of my second-story window.

I don't think I have a least favorite commercial. I have commercials that I ignore/fast-forward through, and then commercials that make me happy every time I see them.

An example of my happy commercial.

There was an anti-drug ad when I was little, I just remember something about machinery and a robot arm being cut off. Gave me nightmares for the longest time. I hate ever seeing that ad.


Ooh almost forgot: ANY PRESCRIPTION commercial, especially the ones where there are more and worse side effects listed then things it can cure.

lets see, cant think of JUST one, there are a bunch

'so easy a caveman can do it' is old, get rid of those
the giko geeko is getting on my nerves too

ANY commercial for male s*x help (yeah they need that, right)...I usually see how fast I can change the channels (one program had all three--enzy??? cial??? and viag???).....there is nothing for us women like that on the market (and yeah since men run it there probably never will be).

those are the top offenders in my book (though the diaper commericals are getting up in the numbers as well)

Okay, I can't find the video for it for some reason, but it's played ALL THE TIME before a movie starts, and, yeah. I have to start those movies, so I hear it all the time.

Matt and Phil, the guys from the Coke Zero commercials, are doing a World of Coke tour in Atlanta, Georgia.

MATT: Phil and I are Coke Brand Managers, and we have an exhibit under construction we'd like you to see.

*In a mop closet*

PHIL: Ever wonder how Coke Zero got to taste so much like Coke? We have a 3D re-enactment of how we think that occurred: One night a shadowy figure left Coke Headquarters carrying a manila envelope carrying what we believe to be Coke Taste inside of it.

MATT: Heading straight into the Coke Zero offices.

PHIL: Suspicious, hmm?

MATT: Suspicious my bald head! They took it! They took our taste!

PHIL: Matt! *a heartbeat later* We think they took it.

Because I have psychological "problems"... Yet refuse "help" no matter what anyone says... I don't see it as a problem... It's a complicated story...

On topic. Any and every Geico commercial... especially the one with the cavemen on motorcycles...

Question: Why do you put "snip" in quotes? :P

Um....how about "Vending Machine Champ, from Adult Swim Games"?
