Oh, and one commercial That really freaks me out is one of those anti-drug ones. The one where they show a little toddler going out to a pool and throwing a floaty and then getting ready to jump in while the commercial while it says to make up an excuse that you had to get high or something. Just seeing little kids come close to death really Really freaks me out.

I hate the McDonald's commercials. But there are actually a few commercials I do like.
I like the Dell commercial with the two girls in a dorm. I like commercials that tell stories and the whole situation (except for the Dell part) is so true.
I also love the random sci fi channel commercials that just have weird things happen in a couple of seconds, I always wish they were previews for new shows.

I think that's exactly why I like them. They really hit the message home.
Oh, and I love that Dell commercial! "I love pink! Guess your favorite color's black!"
A radio commercial that I would like to die is that series that Donald Trump put together. He takes two completely different subjects, for example Pit Bulls and Progressive Auto Insurance. He starts the ad by saying something like "Pit Bulls are dangerous" then he shifts completely over to his shpeal about Progressive Auto insurance, and THEN he starts a brand new shpeal about the dangers of pit bulls.

Doubt many else get these ones, but the Mountain West commercials need to go.
This is how cheezy they are, plus the acting is less than satisfactory. (I whipped one up since no specific one comes to mind)
Girl walks by in a park and sees another studing. "Hey!" She says. "I thought you would be home right now!" "No, I'm going to Mountain West! It's easy, and in a few years I can dump my part time job and get a real career." "Wow! That sounds great, where do I sign up?" "Follow me, lets go!"
*clenches head in anguish* I hate those commercials.

But I don't need that message, I've already sworn to myself not to take drugs, and I don't like watching commercials that make me feel like vomiting everytime I think of them in the slightest matter.

These phone ads aggravate me. "I didn't know that." SHUT UP! The "Look, you are a lazy bum sitting at home watching daytime television, it's clear that you have no job, so join this career institute." I don't know why I bother watching stupid television -_-.

I shamefully enjoy the dell commercial with the two girls in the dorm as well.
Why is it shameful to enjoy that commercial? I don't know, but it feels like something I shouldn't be proud of.

I understand parents not wanting certain drugs advertised on TV. When I was younger I asked my dad what general herpes was. He had the fun task of explaining that it was not general herpes.

I hate that damn window commercial. I swear, if I have to hear "tilt me baby" anymore, I'm just going to throw this damn box out the window then regret it when FF12 comes out.

The Remax Real Estate ads bug me, especially the one where the real estate agent flies over the woman's outdoor wedding in a hot air balloon just to tell her that he sold her house.
