What is the lamest commercial on TV right now?

Oct 12, 2012 3:12 AM

for me it's the Miller 64 commercial..... a bunch of really good looking people in a bar singing what sounds like
a spongebob pirate song.....

I'm sure there are more, but this one stands out right now

Myself, I am sick of the Ice Cube Coors Light commercials. They are brutally awful.

@tarasadies: Hah, yeah those are bad. I do an Ice Cube impression every time I hear those and say something along the lines of "I sold my soul for adverTISing dollars".

I'm not an Apple hater, but the iPhone 5 commercials with Jeff Daniels are annoying and pretentious.

All the non-Super Bowl beer commercials. Also, I hate those class action lawsuit commercials.

And @mkentosh, I now hate you for getting the Miller 64 song in my head.

Any Levis commercials. They're god awful. Especially the one with a really terrible poem about being a kid holding a string that holds it all together or some crap.

The Microsoft ad for IE9.

Microsoft makes the lamest ads, though the ad's for Bing at least had some humor in them.

@rprebel: I'm with you that one kills me too. My least favorite right now are any of the ahem adult oriented commercials. Like cialis or my new favorite. "I'm barely 18 and so lonely. I'm a beautiful college co-ed who has no life, so I like to sit at home in my panties and talk to awesome guys like you on webcam." (Eye-Roll) And they play it back to back on Comedy Central at night.

Don't know about TV, we cut the cable over 10 years ago. The most annoying radio commercial I hear is '1-877-cars-for-kids'. I change the channel or turn it off every time it comes on.

I don't mind most of the GEICO commercials, they run a lot of campaigns, and while I don't like all of them, I find some of them mildly humorous. Flo from Progressive is like nails on a chalkboard, I hate those commercials, but the State Farm commercials where the customer sings the jingle and an agent appears, then they sing it again and they get whatever they want...those commercials are the worst.

@aphroat: To be fair I believe all drug commercials should be banned.
Typical Drug commercial:
First the setup with generic symptoms like. Do you feel tired? Do you not have the mobility that you did 5 years ago? Do you have frequent headaches? Do you breathe harder when you run? Do you feel sad?
Second you may have X.
Third invent new symptoms: You should see your doctor and let him\her know you have shortness of breath and ask for drug Y and feel sad.
Fourth they show happy people having fun assumingly taking drug X.

What is wrong with Futurama? Sure it is no Southpark or American dad or 2 and 1/2 men.
And I have a favorite episode (something which I never do is pick a favorite episode of anything but this one is SO GOOD) GodFellas

sorry if this offends anyone's politics, and it's certainly not the lamEST commercial on right now, but certainly one of my favorites.

This was local about 2 years ago, but it's a classic in my mind.

Rob Bironas is the place kicker for the Tennessee Titans. He is a very good kicker, but also very......eccentric.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
