TV's most annoying Commercial

I'm not sure if it's the theme from The Waltons, or the ludicrous concept of boxes of cereal growing on trees, but the Kelloggs Fruit Harvest commercials are the most annoying spots on TV.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

I beg to differ.  Old Navy has the worst advertising campaign ever.

You guys are lucky. We have parliament elections this autumn, so all the channels are filled with stupid political advertisement with all kinds of imbeciles hallucinating about "united Russia - strong Russia", "this is life", "vote for us because we will help idiots who can't get a job", "we are burocrats against burocracy", "we need free market because there are still some things not stolen yet", "we need planned economics because we need to steel from those who already robbed the nation", "we need to go back to Soviet times and have sausage for 2.20 rubles", "we are strong enough to survive any cataclism that our party will organize", etc ad nauseum...

Not speaking about the fact that all this advertisement costs so much that it can feed several Academic institutes for years. :mad:

Kellogs boring  but it doesn't bug me, yet.

Old Navy is consistantly irritating.

Dodges "does that thing have a Hemi?"
are starting to get pretty old.

The Aces High commercial is about ready for a facelife also. Instead of mixing in game & gun cam footage, try a series of snapshots at first.

"Free download" (showing the web address)

"2 week free trial"

"Easy ingame settup of controllers"

Then cut to ahfilm of takeoff, (with a few clouds, dawn is good) Climbout, then 10 seconds of action.

Finish with a smoking plane landing back at base.

"Do you have what it takes?"

"Be a WWII Fighter pilot anytime you want. "

FORD AUTHORIZED CLEARANCE or HYUNDAI or ANY FRICKIN LOCAL CAR COMMERCIAL.  Holy crap I will throw my television out the window if I hear "Anyway you want it" by Journey one more time.  Anyone from the SE Wisconsin area can attest to this, not sure if it's national.

What about the toothpaste commercial where this couple is at a lake and they see a beaver with really shiny teeth.  They ask him how he keeps his teeth so white and it procedes to tell them Crest (or whatever) with natural (something).  The first time I saw it I thought, "Isn't it a little early for a Saturday Night Live spoof?"  That commercial is so lame.  And to think someone had to think it up, produce it, and get the ok form marketing to air it.
