Where it looks like it was shot with an 8mm video cam where they parody lines from movies. I don't even remember what it's for but every time I see it, I want to throw the friggin TV through the window!
On the other side of that, commercials that are annoying are NORMALLY, the ones that are supposed to stick in your mind. If you ever hear them repeate a phone number loud and at least 3 times it's annoying to you but over 60% of people retain that number. It's good marketing. Just like a bar, they have those little sign things outside where they show their specials. This one around the corner from us called "peppers" actually spells it "pepers" on their sign. They have spelled it that way every time they change the sign so they're doing it on purpose. What it has done to me because I am very anal about typo's is I obsess on that misspelling and I'm always thinking about it, hence, good marketing LOL.
That is a disorder of mine though. I obsess. If I truly love or truly dislike something, I obsess on it. I'm a freak! ;)
One more thing off the topic... I'm watching clerks on TV right now... and I MUST say, "Try not to suck any dicks while you're walking through the parking lot!" HAHAHAHAAH Awesome line!
: while the jack in the box ads are annoying, i find them so awful it makes me laugh and i love them. so thats off. my least favorite ads on tv now are the collect call ads, (all of em) and the god damn snapple bottle commercials. I lost it when i saw the male stripper one
