Default what\'s the stupidest/most irritating commercial on tv?

What TV I watch is usually taped and watched later (so I can fast-forward through the commercials). I watch sports programming live, though, so I still get hit with some ads. I just saw one for McDonald's in which this stupid woman was having an imaginary conversation with someone who she apparently thought was trying to take her nasty processed fried chicken strips away. That gets my vote (based on a small sample size) for stupidest current commercial. Any other nominations?

I don't think this has been on for awhile but Bob Dole talking about his wang disorder was easily the most traumatizing thing I've ever seen on TV.

Hilarious! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Producing a TV commercial....$25,000

Weekly advertising budget....$500,000

Getting someone to actually recognize your product or service from your commercial....PRICELESS!

Um....not to nitpick, but one of those Mastercard commercials would cost anywhere from $750,000 to $2,000,000 to produce, and a weekly national advertising campaign on television alone would also be in the millions.

If you are going to correct me, at least be right! While I obviously was making a joke, if you are going to revoke my poetic license, you should hire a fact-checker. Although my $25,000 figure was wrong, your $750,000-$2 million was off as well. This link says $358,000 (three years ago, but it's not likely that the average has more than doubled in three years).

And, don't write "not to nitpick," then nitpick for the entirety of the post.

The most irritating commercials are the pecker-pill ads.

The stupiest are the Bud Light commercials. You wonder what went through their minds when they made those. One shows Bud Light drinkers mindlessly walking into a plate glass window because there is Bud Light in the window. The message on all of them seems to be that if you are a real idiot, you will like Bud Light.

McDonalds commercials are always a pain in the ass.

The McDonald's chicken select commercials are by far the most annoying. There's another variety where a guy goes seriously overboard in an empty room about people not taking his chicken selects. absurd.

Another annoying commercial is the people who act like automated telephone responders.
