Don't you hate the commercials where the company tries to be funny, but it just doesn't work? Opinions, please! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yes.

Is that enough of answer?

No? Well, it's especially annoying when commercials make no sense or have nothing to do with a product. Afterwards, it leaves you saying, "What was that all about?" I really hate that, though if it is funny, I will forgive it.

Yeah, but sometimes commercials CAN be funny, some of them are even hilarious, so i don't mind commercials that much.

Commercials CAN be funny like johnny said. But most of them are plain boring. One guy standing around and then whoop-ti-do a shirt, a plate or something else is all white and nice [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img]

Right now the one I hate is the one from sears the one where they are sitting around smiling and not saying anything. Stupid the guy that made this should be canned.

I do like the telus ads with the monkeys. To funny.

Some of em yes. I hate the ones that make you say "What was that?" afterwards. And how come some commercials have *nothing* to do with the product?

Thank god the Elections are OVER today. I am SO sick of seeing each guy slam the other..

As for the normal commercials, I don't like the 10-10-220 (alf) and the stupid Credit help ad's.. Same for 'can you hear me now' [img]smile.gif[/img]

I hate the 1-800-CALL-ATT ones with Carrot Top, I've honestly never found him at all humorous, and most other phone company ads suck.

that said I really like the Blockbuster ads with the guinea pig and rabbit
