I know there is a philosophy that annoying ads can be effective - but I swear I would rather go without insurance. Or pay twice as much somewhere else. I would much enjoy seeing a flock of agitated emus turned loose in their corporate boardroom... I know, right? Seriously, it is really aggravating when it's clear that a company is choosing to annoy us rather than inform or entertain us. But it must work! I don't get it. And the thing is - I don't hear the message about them customizing insurance - because I grab the remote when their stupid ads come on. I hate that company. Okay so I just looked up their ad agency. It's Goodby Silverstein & Partners. So I hate them too. I think I will boycott all of their clients. Oh crap - Frito-Lay. Okay MOST of their clients.

Bed With Benefits is starting to get on my nerves. That commercial annoyed me the second I heard her voice (which has become a trend in commercials, but that's a rant for another time).

"Best Fiends has over 4000 levels. The tallest building in America has only 104 levels. Not even close."
Pretty close on the annoyance level if you ask me!

The new Purple...'you're the only I want to come home to' might be worse than 'bed with benefits'.

Looks like Flo is back in rotation again; just heard her talking about nightgowns on WQSR.

We've got a new one, sure to rocket up the 'chart of shame': Beach Body On Demand. Already turning the sound off on only the second hearing...

It's during the "local ads" portion of the commercials, but on WQSR there's an ad for a counseling center named New Directions Counseling and the girl doing the voiceover makes the most annoying whistling sounds with every word that has an "S" in it. Lord knows why that trend is so popular these days in (most) commercials with female voiceovers.

None of these are as bad as some commercials that are now polluting the airwaves on a local sports radio station here in SF: the "ambulance chaser" commercials (i.e for Zantac and other drugs, abuse from clergy, payday loan help, etc.) I'm sure these commercials are polluting the airwaves nationally.

I don't know who the ad is from since I've never heard the entire thing, but I'm getting sick of hearing "Let's say you bought a house...". It's almost always the first commercial that comes on, which makes it hard to avoid it 100%.
