there were plenty of irritating ads on pay-tv.
when you lose your remote, you're stuck with this ad
and you go bezerk looking for it while the tune makes its way to driving you insane. I almost wrecked my tv out of rage
when this happened.:twisted:

right now, I can't think up of any ads, exept this
stupid berroca ad "bbbb berroca gives back the bb bounce!"
it didn't only give me back the bb bounce, i wanted to bring
out my bb gun!! !! !! ! :x

And in cinemas...you're doomed!, unless you
can run fast enough to grab some snacks before the
film starts :!:

Wait. You mean you can still see movies at your theater? Wow, you're lucky.
Here when we pay the $10 (Canadian) we just get about 2 hours of ads.

You know which commercials I absolutley can't stand? Those Burger King commercials with that scary plastic-headed king. Those freak me out so bad that I have to hide my eyes from the TV so I don't see it. And he's mean to the people in the commercials! Like the one where he fakes pushing that guy off of that construction site. I know it was fake, but those commercials scare the sh** out of me.

I am so weird.

Any commercial with a song in it annoys me. Half the time, those songs get stuck in my head, and I'm singing them all day.

The commercial that I absolutley despise is the one for Huggies Pull-ups with the Cool Strip. The little boy is playing Chess, and than he starts to feel wet, and he says that his Pull-up is making him cool. He runs off to the Bathroom to finish the job, and than at the end of the commercial, he says that he feels cool. Now the Toddlers in the 18 Month to 3 1/2 Year Old bracket are going to think that it's cool to relieve themselves in their Pull-ups.

Burger King commercials(plastic King or Whopper Jr.) make my head explode. So do most car commercials, when they don't have anything to do with the cars at all. Like when the car is shown going underwater, and the disclaimer on the bottom says "Fictionalization". What the **** does that even mean!? So you made the whole thing up, huh? Then what was the point? Why should I buy this car when I know nothing about it besides that it can't go underwater. Why do you get my thirty seconds of time!? Tell me!

Geico commercials, from what I call their "dark period" between 2002 and 2005. The new ones are sort of funny, but I still find myself changing the channel considering how the earlier commercials ruined my life.

It's just too painful to explain. ;)

Not all theaters have advertisements...but most do.

If it's on TV and it's not a good movie or something, chances are I find it annoying. I find everything on TV annoying--nearly all the shows, nearly all the ads, nearly all the sounds, the super intense energy to it all, the rushed feeling, the lack of quality, etc. It all just is so sucky.

Yea Xuincherguixe, it's expensive isn't it? And then it costs us another $10 for a bag of popcorn.

this is what you do for movie previews when you're going to see a movie with a friend:

everyone makes a bet on how many ads there will be, then you just watch and see who wins!

Agreed, that frosties ad goes right through me. At the end when he raises up into the air and flaps his arms around, I feel an overwhelming urge to punch him in the face.

Also any ad involving footballers, eg. "Hey Roberto, pass the Pringles!"

"Glomobi" ads, these ads are in the same spirit of Jamster! ads, only less frequent. Commonly advertise "TEXT (Love or Joke) TO 69696 for (HAWT Romance advice or HILARIOUS joke)."

1. The graphics piss me off. Its some crappily done GIF image from 1997 on a simulated cellphone.

2. The guarantees. Ugh, your service DEFINITELY wont "Find you the perfect 10" or "Make your sense of humor even better!"

3. It ends. Chances are, the hot romance advice the company would text you is either a crappy pick-up line or a bad, half-assed joke.

You'd hope that a kid who's smart enough to play chess is also smart enough to know when he's peed his pants.

I don't watch TV or listen to radio very much at all, because as well as there being lots of crap on, there's too many darn ads.
