There a few TV commercials that I absolutely can't stand. They are:
-Those old KFC ones with "I ate the bones". The fact that anyone would think a slogan that basically implies somebody choking is appropriate for anything related to food seems a bit backwards to me.
-That old one of the pig going "WEE-WEEE-WEEEE!" in the car. I thought it was hilarious at first, but as I saw the commercial more and more the less funny it became. A friend of mine at school even joked about making that "Weee-weee-weee!" thing his alarm clock sound. Yeah, if I had an alarm clock that sounded like that it would probably drive me crazy.
-Jake from State Farm. This thing has been overused to death. They've played it over and over again for years and they were STILL airing this commercial as late as last Summer. It wasn't that funny to begin with and they overuse of it caused to turn from simply a lame joke to absolutely annoying. Also, the fact that they used the Coneheads (which are the only recurring SNL skits I cannot stand) to remake the commercial causes me to dislike them even more.
-Those disgusting anti-smoking PSAs. I know that they are trying to send a message about how smoking is gross and unhealthy but just how far they go with the disturbing grossout imagery makes me think that these commercials are made by young people pursuing a writing career in the horror genre who are getting their start making anti smoking PSAs.
-I love the video game Spore, but I've always found the commercial to be a bit misleading to what the game is actually about. They make the graphics look WAY better than they actually are and make the game seem like some Minecraft-like "create your own universe" sandbox game when it's really just an RPG. Sure it has an emphasis on customizable content but considering the obvious inspiration the Creature Stage of the game takes from the highly popular Diablo series, it's definitely supposed to be an RPG not the huge world building game the commercial makes it out to be.
Yeah, that's cute and all but it's certainly not the same Spore I've played all this time.
-The classic "It's so easy a caveman could do it" ones from Geico. I just don't think it's that clever or funny like the majority of Geico commercials are. It doesn't hold a candle to the funny, memorable gecko with a British accent I can tell you that.
