After watching a particularly horrible Jared's commercial I got to thinking there was no way in hell I would ever shop there because of their commercials. I was curious if there were other people who had the same sort of thoughts for specific commercials and companies/products?

Absolutely.

 

Menards comes to mind.

Well I have learned from Microsoft that the "cloud" is some sort of magical photo service from the interwebs. That is not at the level of hate that I had for the stupid "Windows 7' was my idea. Windows 7 isn't half bad, but that commercial made me want to nix it.

there are always a few floating out there, and this may be the one you're talking about, but there is a jewelry store that has a couple at a cabin and it's storming out, and the guy is just insanely creepy and weirds me out.

 

 

The Jewelry Diamond Exchange may top the creepiest commercials, where they ended the commercial with a very creepy in sync wave from their whole staff.

I know exactly which commercial you're talking about. Definitely awful/weird.

I'll never stay at a Red Roof Inn. The chances of that are........................remote.

I think jewelry commercials in general suck.

Agreed, they are on par with local car dealer ads, except without the kitsch factor.

 

I haven't eaten at a burger king in about 7-8 years because of how much I hate their advertising.

This one.

 

I hate all modern mentions of "cloud". Go back 10 years and the stupid word of the day was, "cyberspace", which is the same thing as the modern overuse of "cloud".

 

Microsoft are advertising retarded, and need to keep away, far away...people buy most Microsoft products these days because they're forced too, not because they want too. They don't need commercials for that.

Quizno's because of those horrible singing rat-like things they had a few years ago.

 

Whatever insurance company that "Flo" works for. She's incredibly annoying.

I kind of like Flo. Not sure why, I can't explain it.

I never made it into cyberspace because I was too busy driving on the information super-highway.

I loved the rats

 

"They got a pepper bar!"

 

Then again, the only time I have ever ate at a Quiznos was when the company I worked for was paying...

I hate all of the anti-smoking campaigns. I don't need these commercials trying to depress me when I'm just trying to enjoy watching TV. Nobody is going to stop smoking because of your s***ty commercials.

Geico. Because they pass on the costs from their ads to their customers. That animated lizard costs a ton of money.

Actually...i switched to Geico a few years ago and have been extremely happy with them. Only had to use them twice and never any hassles. I even have a good friend who works at Liberty Mutual and even with all of the discounts and "deals" he gave me it didn't match my Geico rate.

Those Esurance commercials are godawful.

Kay Jeweller's commercials are all terrible.

Screw you, every kiss begins with Kay

Even if I could afford a Lexus, I wouldn't buy one at Christmas

Whichever burger joint commercial it is that has the guy at the end who says "I made a seal, arr arr". I change the channel the second I see it. (I wanna say Wendy's)

The EducationConnection.com commercial is definitely one of the worst commercials ever.
