The Most Annoying Commercial Of All Time

[Braves2005]

I will nominate two commercials as being the worst.

The Vonage Broadband commercials where while people are doing stupid stunts,this stupid guy starts singing "Whoo Hoo Whoo Hoo Hoo Hoo" ad nauseam.

The Wellpatch commercial where the guy who looks like Kevin James of The King Of Queens sings "Wellpatch,getcha where it hurts,wella","Lasts a long time with it,wella." "Wellpatch,getcha back to Wellpatch."

Stupidity and horrible singing reigns supreme.

[Mr. Head]

That "Overstock.com" commercial with the stupid blonde bimbo.  I find the repetitive "It's all about the (insert whatever)" lines from that commercial rather annoying.  I'd like to slap that silly woman upside the head every time that stupid commercial comes on.

And I don't understand why she appears to be naked at the end.  What exactly does that site sell?  Never really felt it worth my while to visit that site to find out.

I forgot about the ad for The Lion King.
They guy yelling is annoying and upsets the dog.

My nomination Is the ad for a male sexual enhancement drug where this “dweeb” is always smiling. The last line in the ad always cracks me up. “If you experience an erection lasting more than four hours seek medical help”. Right… I can imagine some guy walking into an hospital emergency department with a boner saying he needs help immediately, while there are critically ill patients waiting for treatment.

The spots for the Six Flags theme parks, with the old bald dork acting and looking unnecessarily dorkish.

A bit off topic, but the radio spot for "My Name is Earl" that seems to feature every tiny market morning zoo with the doofus, the opinionated chick and the 30-something male host.  Honestly, I may stop watching NBC because of this assinine spot.

I MUTE the VEHIX.COM spot when it comes on. That repetitive sound track drives me nuts. It would make me Google for VEHIX.COM competition if I were buying a car.
VEHIX has to be the worst.

As I have said in the past, when I first saw the Vonage commercials, the impression I got was "people do stupid things, like sign up for broadband phone service".  It wasn't until the fifth or sixth time I saw it that I realized they were selling that service; I wonder how many of their potential customers get the same wrong impression?  

Certainly makes you wonder if the creative team at the agency did enough testing before releasing the spots for air ...

Off-topic, but related:  I have a friend who works at SBC in the residential customer service call center.  One day, he got a call from a (former) customer who switched to Vonage, only to discover that when Vonage ported the phone number over  it caused a disconnect order in SBC's system, which took out the DSL the customer had used to connect to Vonage!  Result:  No dial tone at all, and the customer found out -- the hard way -- that you can't have DSL from the local phone company without having your phone service through them as well ...

> “If you experience an erection lasting more than four hours seek medical help”.

Someone did a parody of these ads and their take on this line was,"If you experience an erection lasting more than four hours...call all your friends and brag!"

A lot of guys would consider being in that condition a true gift.
