Commercials We Hate

(If you still watch TV)



Makes my eye twitch in rage every time



I'm glad they stopped showing this one

Thanks for reminding me (again) why I killed my TV long ago.

I hate any commercial that sells you something that doesn't actually exist. Like TD Ameritrade says they have "more than just a few ETFs" so they're better. The thing is, anyone with access to the NYSE or AMEX has access to the same number of ETFs: ALL OF THEM. It's the same no matter what broker you go with.

Yeah, maybe the first 10,000 times, after that it can grate a little.

Any commercial for teeth whitening or acne wash where the main character in the commercial has a vivdly white smile and or pre-pubescent skin really turns on my "hate" button.

and i don't like to hate things.

Did you ever see the Justin Bieber proactiv commercial? I lol'd my ass off, I think they took it off the air though, because I've only seen it once.

Haha, I believe it was Avril!

I'll bet the Bieber commercial was taken off because the believability of oil build up on a synthetic skin structure is too low.
