Man, those Ditech commercials are terrible! And there's a special place in hell for the writers of those Fanta commercials.
Oh, and Ao, if I'm thinking of the same commercial, that woman in the Pizza Hut commercials is Jessica Simpson.
There's a commercial for a car, I forget what kind, where it's owner breaks it's leg and the car does nothing but bitches and moans the entire commercial. It's terrible and annoying, and I usually change the channel.
Also, any commercial for an upcoming "mini-series" by SFC. Mainly, the fact that they show the same one every commercial break. I saw so many commercials for Five Days to Midnight that I purposefully didn't watch it. You know, maybe if they advertised Farscape even a tenth as much as that damn "mini-series", then the numbers wouldn't have sagged. Idiots.
A minor advertising thing... a four hour, two-part movie is not a mini-series. Roots was a mini-series. It bugs me to no end to see these advertised as such.

Male enhancement/disfunction ads - they have one where everyone is singing in the street, dancing and all. If a street had that many problems they are living on Three Mile Island! And the warnings, erections lasting for three or more hours, see a doctor, no wanted everyone can see a difference in someone taking them!
I do like the "This is Bob" ad!

I hate hate HATE those "This is Bob" ads! I hereby call for the execution of Bob, his creepy "Black Hole Sun" smile, and his gargantuan man-unit!
Also, anything with Jessica Simpson. I don't understand why people find her hot, her face looks withered. When I saw that one with her and the Muppets I just about puked. Thanks for raping my childhood, Disney Co. Ms. Piggy looks better than her.
Any car commercial with techno music gives me that "Elvis Presley when Robert Goulet's on TV" feeling. KAPOW!

In Atlanta, at least, there is this painful, seemingly two-minute long commercial that was advertising something like cable TV or something. It's like, "They're taking your money. We don't just think it's bad. We think it's piggish."
And then, out of a cable truck, jump a dozen huge swine, and . . . oh God, the memory *shudder* . . . and they start singing, "Who let the pigs in?" to the tune of Who Let the Dogs Out. If the add was 30 seconds long, I . . . I might not want to kill them. But it goes on, and on, and on, like they just thought it was hi-
ing-larious to show huge fat pigs running around a neighborhood, terrorizing families, while singing one of the most annoying songs ever.
I'd, like, be watching Farscape at 4 in the morning, and this commercial would come on, and I'd change the channel. I'd come back in a minute, to make sure I didn't miss Farscape, and that bleeping commercial would still be on. It does seem as if Sci-Fi wants to drive viewers away from Farcape. I'd typically miss the first part of 3 or 4 segments a night, due to me changing the channel at that god-awful, pigpen, diarhettic slop of a commercial.
However, I actually liked the Chilis commercials. The people were obviously having fun singing, and the music wasn't that bad.

The Fanta ads annoy me, as well. As do the stupid Girls Gone Wild ads on during Stern. At least change the music every once in a while, jeez. 
And the Bob ads which someone else mentioned. They scare me.
I rather like the Quizno's commercials. Maybe I'm weird.

I haven't seen it in a while here, but they used to run a highly annoying ad for Kinder eggs (chocolate eggs with a small toy inside you get to assemble after you've eaten the chocolate). The ad would just have been another insipid ad with a mother making her children/family happy with whatever goods the ad is for, had it not been for the atrocious dubbing - one of the kids had a very strong Scanian (Scania = the southernmost part of Sweden) accent, while the rest of the family was accent-free. It would be like having the rest of the family having a mild Californian accent, and then the kid lets loose with the broadest Scottish accent you've heard.

Those Quiznos ads are just weird. I want to know how something like that gets approved.
Wicket - we had a similar ad in Kansas City (the piggish concept), but ours didn't sound quite so obnoxious. I barely remember them.
I like the Sonic ads, with the two guys. Some of them are pretty funny, but a few are quite annoying. I don't like the ones where they drive through other restaurants drive throughs and make fun of their food. I think those are dumb.
The other ones I really hate are these damned "hemi" ads. "Can you say Hemi?" "Good". Bah.
My favorite ads used to be those Discovery Channel ads with the really bad special effects. Like, the Mosquito "Hey Mosquito!" "Hello, Mosquito" I just loved those.

Now there's a lawsuit just waiting to happen! lolStaffan said:
Probably because Quizno's is pretty far down on the fast foodchain. Those ads generated a lot of publicity for the company and as the old saying..."there's no such thing as bad publicity".die_kluge said:
Unfortunately that probably means we'll see more atrocities like it in the future. *shudder*
