The first type of television commercial I absolutely hate are the ones that are blatantly aimed at liberal hippies. The one that prominately features all races, creeds and ages doing something *green* and smiling at the camera. These commercials always feature an uplifting accoustic song about being happy and the announcer drops words like "future", "responsible", "together". They always end in an artsy sort of way. Like they zoom out and the people are forming the company logo, or they've built something symbolic in a field. Everyone is doing their part.
The second type of commercial that pisses me off are the psuedo-scientific ones that take place in some space-age labaoraty where everything is glass and white acrylic. Who the hell is going to believe that is the real world? Some hot babe wearing goggles is leaning over a test tube while the announcer spews, well, pretty much the same shit about "the future" and how they're working on it. Back ground music is almost always that song from The Postal Service. You know the one. The editing of these is always like something from an XBOX start up screen. Super white, super bright and abnormally clean.
Honorable mentions are: drug advertisements (duh), any McDonalds or walmart commercial, ones with black people who act white, and all the commercials that feature the fakest families imaginable.
I hate the ones where some guy is screaming at you, just overcompressed and blaring loud something like...BUY TWO BROOMS AND RECIEVE A TOILET BRUSH FREE!
I don't know if it's just an australian thing or not. It's a tactic i know, but it's stupid. Why would i buy something from someone who's yelling at me?
there's an example in there if you don't know what i'm talkin bout'.

I'm not hatin' on billy mays. I don't even know who he is. But if he's screaming at me, I'm sure he's a knob.

I hate mostly commercials that use songs I like. I feel like a little part of me dies everytime I hear a new one.
I feel the same way about this, and everything Mercury just said.
However I hate just about any commercial that isn't about, maybe, fucking or killing.

I hate it when a popular commercial plays a good song I like. It's even worse if it's a particularly stupid commercial. It ruins the song, because I think of the advertisement when I hear it and people know it as the song "from that commercial".

i hate all commercials, i don't even watch tv anymore because of that shit, except for the weather/news and discovery channel when im eating breakfast and there's no newspapers to read while im eating.
imo commercials completely fuck up your viewing experience when you want to watch a movie or your favourite show or whatever it is you people watch nowadays.
internet piracy ftw
