Wayne, that is exactly what I do- literally. I even use UltimateTV, also.
My least favorite at the moment are those disgusting "Don't bother me, I'm eating" ads for Carl's Jr/Hardees where people slobber and drip condiments to the most unpleasant chewing sound FX ever created. They've basically convinced me never to go near the place, ever.I refuse to eat there, based on these awful commercials. They are condescending and might as well say "Carl's Jr., we just know your an idiot". Also, since when does a 1/2 bottle of ketchup on a burger = juicy. If it "gets all over the place" , I'll eat somewhere else.
The all time worst IMO is "Seizure Girl" in the Mitsubishi commercial. Followed very closely by the Barenaked Ladies Mitsu commercial. I haven't heard many that do not dislike these commercials.
Has a commercial been so annoying that it caused you to NOT buy the product?Yes, all the time. I don't buy into the argument, "well, you remembered their name though." Your point is?
Yes, I remember to never buy their product. Also, there are a few corps mentioned here and their ad agencies that probably hate me by now.
Finally, maybe this is just a local phenomenon but it seems that all my local car dealerships are owned by men who mistakenly believe their teenage daughters are the most beautiful and talented spokesmodels ever.Holy Mackeral ! I thought this only happened here locally. The kids in the car dealership commercials....they always overact so the cute factor drops right off as soon as the audience grows larger than just family members, and sometimes they look like they just dont want to be in the commercials whatsoever...which begs the question, why are they there in the first place....bring back Fred Rated !
