[Rant] Certain annoying TV Commercials

I'm so sick and tired of hearing those stupid Free Credit Report . com commercials. Those songs get on my nerves and are really annoying.

I also hate the voice of the guy who does the commercials for "The Dump"* it's like "ooooh the dump" (man in a really high voice). Can't they get a better voice actor, geeze...

*The Dump is a furniture store about 30 miles east of me, so it's Philadelphia Suburbs.

My volume goes down and I never listen to them, the pop-ups IMO are more irritating.

Cablevision commercials are way worse.

I like the ETrade commercials. Some Geico ones are ok with the Cavemen. Even though myself and everyone I know was quoted WAY MORE $$ for Geico, of course none of us choose them.

I guess the commercial is successful if people are talking about it :-/

The most annoying ones too me are the finallyfast dot com and whatever penis hardener ad comes on after it. I think everyone knows about Viagra and Cialis by now and no one sits in a bathtub in the middle of a damn field!

"Vivaaaaaa Viagra!" - annoying.

E-Trade babies - creepy.

FreeCreditReport.com - catchy and halfway clever. If it gets stuck in my head, the ad guys have done their jobs well.

If everything seems to be going well, you've obviously overlooked something.

That Free Credit Report Guy is a French Canadian and is totally dubbed as he has a very thick French accent.

I like the Freecreditreport.com commercials. The songs are catchy and clever.

I hate commercials that were obviously shot in another language and they've dubbed them into english. Or, even worse, the ones that were shot in english, but they've still redubbed them. There's a Febreeze one right now where a Mom complains to her son that his room smells. The Mom and son have been redubbed, but the other characters haven't. So, you've got 2 people whose voices don't quite sound right or match their lips, but the other characters sound and look normal.

I've been watching a channel I don't normally watch, and the pop-up ads every damn minute would be the most annoying if they didn't insert a commercial break every 7 minutes that were 3-5 minutes long...

This is why I hate watching things on tv these days, you get less ads on Hulu!

there is even ads on the network VOD streams, however i think there is maybe three during an episde vs like 20 during a normal broadcast.

sometimes on Hulu and VOD the very few ads might be more profitable for the content owner, because many times it is a single sponser who likely pays a great deal to be said sole sponser.

...And this is why I get my TV fix online. I shouldn't have to mute the blasted TV every time there's an Enzyte commercial running.

Yeah, Hulu has ads, but they're quite brief and less of a nuisance.

Anything involving Blingitude or Luna flooring. They never got the sync right for the Luna commercial.
