I've been listening to the radio a lot recently, and one ad I keep hearing is the group of Netflix "game show" ads in which the contestant is asked a series of nonsense questions before being asked the obvious question about Netflix. These commercials agitate the crap out of me. I'm not sure why they bug me so bad. I think it's probably because they are trying to be random, but it's the stupid kind of random rather than the funny kind.

Are there any commercials/ads that get on your nerves? I'm sure there are more I could think of from TV, but I hardly watch TV anymore so I can't think of any right now.

The Amazon Kindle commercials with the incredibly annoying blonde & the dufus that have no chemistry despite being scripted to have chemistry. That commercial drives me insane.

The one on the Sinner's prayer. Maybe it's just local to me?

Any of the commercials by Hardees. I think it's because the announcer sounds belligerent. For whatever reason, they make me NOT want to go there to eat!

I rarely watch tv or listen to the radio, so I'm really only familiar with those ads that were popular enough to go viral.

Capitol One Credit Cards. They are cute the first 2 times, then after that, blech.

I detest commercials (especially more common on the radio) where you can tell the 'conversation' is two people reading from a script.

Wait. what. is the. phone number. a.gain? Let me. get. a. pen.cil.

Also, I dislike car dealership commercials.

I am amused by the Best Buy commercials with people outdoing Santa.

The Colonial Penn life insurance program ("my spouse died but I'm ok because I have life insurance and you should get some too, here's the number",
Consumer Cellular (the irritating "McCann twins"),
Riddex Plus (bashing on pest control chemicals, the commercial shows an exterminator spraying indiscriminately around children's toys, which isn't true to life)
