We don't have Hardees here. I wish we did though because they are excellent.

Never heared of it, nor the commercial. But i assure you, we have our fair share of annoying adds over here too in Europe!  ;D

Pleanty I hate. I do find the Peyton Manning Commercial funny though. Especially the grocery store one.

Here in the US the GEICO insurance are the ones that irk me.

Specifically here in Phoenix, The Beacon Upholstery one are really annoying. Their slogan is "If your furniture isn't becoming to you, it should be coming to Beacon." AaH!

Some ads are terribly funny - others are really annoying.  ::)

those Rasin bran commericals are kinda cool... kinda weird...

the ones i cant stand the most are those quiznos commericals, both the talking baby, and the rats (i know they're not rats). I don't even like their food, so no businees there.

That just shows you that the ad is working- its meant to stick in your head, regardless of the sticking connotations!

Some are a little too funny for their own good, and we remember them for being funny and not what they were selling.

Have you guys noticed that the commercials during the World Series are getting better while the commercials during the Super Bowl are getting more terrible?

BTW, I find the Capital One commercials really funny. Especially the one with the new guy.

D-Caf! . . D-Caf!

For any of you who watch The Weather Channel you probably seen this one...

For a vacation that will take you full circle...ski New Mexico
For a vacation that will take you full circle...shop New Mexico
Etc etc...that kind of line repeats like 4 times in a row...really makes me crave to go head for New Mexico ::)  Though I kind of liked it down there ;)

We had one for a local pharmacy...Its been awhile and i cant remember what it was about.  But it was a flashing add with some guy talking really fast and repeating "......yada yada yada........call 1-800-000-0000" all this add contained was a white screen with those words flashing.  You would hear that guys voice repeat that same line about 10 times then it would be done...really a pointless waist imho.  

And my all time hated add....ANY of the ones that have to do with teens and drugs, sex, alcohol, etc...Most are government sponsored.  They basicaly make it sound like every teen is completely stupid and will screw up their life unless a parent is right there holding their hand 24/7 >:(  One thats been around awhile, just has eather a teen boy or girl in a serious tone of voice saying "if you dont teach your son/daughter about sex...I will"  Mind you that its the guy saying daughter and the chick saying son....why dont they just put what they really want it to sound like...

(the guy)...."if you dont teach your daughter about sex...I'll f^@# her" :-/

Nice way to degrade teens and form that image that we are out screwing up our lives unless our mommy or daddy is with us all the time  

Theres plenty more commercials that i cant stand...those are just a few

Yep, I can still remember a commercial from many years ago where they were firing hamsters out of a cannon*. but even five minutes after, I couldn't remember what they were selling.

*they made a point of showing the hamsters run away unharmed after hitting the ground.

BTW, I find the Capital One commercials really funny. Especially the one with the new guy.

lol



There's been a new commercial on the last few weeks that is annoying. During the commercial, there's a guy who is standing next to a cow rubbing and shaking it, and generally acting in a way that he shouldn't on a public broadcast. If you see it, you will know what I mean. It's one of the dumbest commercials I've ever seen in my life

I haven't seen that Hardees spot (not too many of those in these parts) but it reminds me of all the "aren't men stupid, helpless babies?" ads that annoy the hell out of me... somebody's warped idea of feminism, no doubt.
