Re: Annoying TV Ads in Your Region?
Actually I hate the Glade 'Light Show' Plug in. You know, 'freshness day and night, freshness with the liiiight, plug it in! Plug it in, plug it in!'. And it's all like 'and air freshener with a LIGHT SHOW' like anyone is pathetic enough to sit at home watching the colour changing lights on an air freshener...

Re: Annoying TV Ads in Your Region?
Car dealership commercials make me want to shoot myself. It's always some redneck with a cheesy motto on a cheaply-made ad screaming at you: "COME DOWN TO DONALD CRAIG SUZUKI AND GET A BRAND NEW XL7 STARTING AT JUST NINETEEN NINE NINETY-EIGHT WITH NO CASH DOWN AND ZERO PERCENT FINANCING!!!! DON'T WAIT!!! COME DOWN TO DONALD CRAIG SUZUKI WHERE OUR DEALS ARE ON FIRE!!!" and it's just so obnoxious that I can't understand why anyone would want to buy a car from them.

There used to be a terrifically terrible phone sex ad in St. Louis, when I went to school, starring a lot of fake (you know what I mean) women in tight ugly clothing. Like skin-tight tie-dye pants.
Shudder
It even had a song, sung badly and out-of-tune:
"Pick up the phone!
You don't have to be alone tonight
Pick up the phone!
We can have a really good time
Pick up the phone!"

Re: Annoying TV Ads in Your Region?
Locally, there are a bunch of car dealership commercials I hate, mainly because those dealerships are located at least 1 hour away from Austin and they're out in small towns or in the middle of nowhere. And I guess because they're in such a bad location their commercials are cheaply made.
I also hate this car insurance commercial for "The General," because the acting and the badly CGI'd General are horrible. The General occasionally will wear his army helmet with a colorful shirt, and it looks ridiculous.
There's also this other commercial for a local body shop called Ellis and Salazar. But, the people on the commercial pronounce it Suh-lay-zer, instead of Sal-a-zar, which is the correct pronunciation.

I'd kill that girl just for using chatspeak.
Have you seen the new one?
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"IDK, txting my BFF Rose?"
(The 'mom' is a grandmother, by the way)
I hate you. I never saw that ad until after you mentioned it. Now it is on all of the time.

I could never hate DM, plus she didn't bring up the new one.
