Thank you wahine!

This one goes out to the Texas Wahine, who got the Fanta song going in my head for the last 20 minutes or so. Damn your eyes. ("Too late!"-Marty Feldman)

Everyone one has a commercial or two they absolutely hate, what's yours? I stopped watching t.v. about three years ago, but I still get them at the movies, and there's not a one there that doesn't raise the little hairs on the back of my neck.

The Fanta ones are fun, but just get stuck in your head 'til you wish you had a harpoon gun to put an end it all. And those Bod body spray commercials? Is there anyone actually that stupid alive? (don't answer that, it's rhetorical.) Their commercials are so idiotic, I find it hard to believe they're still in business.

A final favorite? Robert "mucho" di Nero makes a long artsy flick about how great New York is, how 9/11 got to him..........and please use our credit card? Come on. Fish or cut bait.

What's yours? Do Calvin Klein commercials twist your short hairs? Comment now, operators are standing by. We also accept Mastercard, Visa and lavish descriptions of commercials that you've fallen in love with.

I DISPISE the stupid Skippy Peanut Butter Jamaican Elephant commercials....they make me want to stab my eyes out!!!

My favorite commercial would have to be when Friday's was running the add for three course dinners for two under $20 and the guy looks at the girl ordering all this food and thinks to himself, "what do I look like? A bank?!"

My most hated would have to be the 'Digger the Dermaphrodite' toe fungus one. It makes me squirm every time it comes on.
Favorite is the Starbucks 'Eye Of the Tiger' one.

I like the ones with the gecko. Favorite is when some chick is twirling around in a daisy field holding on to the gecko like he's her boyfriend.

Adrian HATES that commercial.

I love those. I think they're great. And I love the gecko.

I hate a lot of the Axe commercials. I think they're tacky and not really humorous to me as a female. Axe needs to realize who buys the hygiene products in the household.

The BK Chicken Fries commercials annoy me, too.

The worst offender, though, is some commercial for something (a soda, maybe?) where a man and woman are having a dinner date. He's talking and she's not paying attention and his words turn into a "munamana"...the other patrons go "do-do-do-do-do" and they go back and forth with the sing-song.

It drives me bananas, and now Adrian and the kids sing it just to piss me off.

Stupid commercial.

I like the hp picture book commercials... catchy tune, cool technology (at least for this non-programming chikka it is)...

My favorite commercials are the Conspiracy commercials.

Conspiracy commercials are moments in a TV show or movie that are part of the actual program, not the commercial break, but which feel like a commercial in one or more ways.

For example, that scene in Will & Grace, Season 4, where Karen buys a motorcycle for Woody Harrelson's character. The make and model of the motorcycle--it was a Ducati something-or-other--was announced loudly several times during that scene.

That is a Conspiracy commercial.

Or the old episode of the X-Files, where Mulder and Scully pause their investigation long enough for Mulder to give Scully a lecture on "Rohypnol, the Date Rape Drug". Supposedly a bit of television entertainment, it's really the Conspiracy keeping us citizens informed about the issues of the day.

Law & Order? It's one big Conspiracy commercial... for law and order.

Oh, wait. This thread is about commercials we hate? Sorry... Yeah, the commercials I hate the most are the ones that come in 3-minute blocks and keep interrupting my Conspiracy Public Service Announcements.

I miss the X-Files soooo much. This is only marginally on topic, but back when the movie came out I test drove an Intrigue (as featured in the movie) and got two free movie tickets.

Oh, and David Duchovny is hot.

Gotta go with what you feel.

I like the ones with the gecko.


I like them too, but for different reasons. Mainly because it makes my wife freak out more when ever the cat eats one.

It drives me bananas, and now Adrian and the kids sing it just to piss me off.


I went around singing hold the pickle hold the lettuce after those BK commercials til I was pissing me off.


I miss the X-Files soooo much.


I can dig that, but

Oh, and David Duchovny is hot.


Whew, slow down, cold shower for the Wahine..........think Antonio Banderas in Philadelphia.......
