I don't like any of them, but I don't watch 2 much T.V.
I know that there has to be commericals to fund the networks, and there's a movement to end free broadcast television

I spend my free time on the net, and can choose the news that I want to see or read. Great Thread `East, and thanks for all your contributions to your Monte Family

I guess in marketing terms it's a good commercial because I'll never forget that da** telephone number, but on the other hand the commerical is so annoying I'll never dial it!

Definitely Agree'd right here. J G Wentworth I NEED CASH NOW!

Can't believe I forgot that one.

Also another one is probably those Broadview/Brinks home security commercials where the alarm goes off really loudly and it's all choatic, usually a woman is screaming/panicked. Also the home phone in those commercials always rings just like mine at home so half of the time I'm wondering if my phone just rang.

Kinda reminds me of a decent piece of marketing advice referenced on the tv show "Cheers".

The bar hires an advertising firm to come up with an original tune for a series of commercials advertising the bar. Advertising guy tells them, "You don't need an original tune! All you need is an annoying familiar tune that will bore a hole into their little pea brains."

I will admit I do love commercials around superbowl time... I do take a liking to the Etrade baby comercials... My new current favorite comercial is the Volkswagon "Punch Dub Days" with the family of 4 and the dealer points to the baby and says' "Red one!" and the baby bursts out crying.

But for annoying comercials, I watch A&E frequently and there is this one advertizing kirstie alley's big life or something.... She, to me, is annoying

I particularly hate most of the new VW commercials -- dumb, pointless, and couldn't sell me one of their bumpers.
