Annoying TV Commercials

Making your own Capitol One Credit Card - one of the most annoying.. be it Armadillo Man or the old submarine captain these commercials play to ignorance and our desire to persoanlize our materialism.

Singing about how life would be better if they only used freecreditreport.com - again we see this theme of how credit is the answer if we just don't borrow too much. I don't want to say much more lest I find myself singing that really bad song later in the day :(

And I have to say that the Geico caveman commercials are getting old. The most recent installment with Billy Jean King is just stupid.. maybe that is the point.

Commercials like these make me glad that I usually DVR most TV shows and fly past the commercials :)

How about you? What is your most annoying TV commercial?

    Being a graduate of Dave Ramsey's financial peace university, I hate credit card commercials. The one I hate the most is the Chase Freedom card. "i'm free to do what I want, any old time" This is the message is contrary to the bible where it says that you are the slave to the debtor. What kind of freedom is that.

    KB, the new Duncan Hines promo, with "...its never JUST a brownie" subtly implying that a batch of brownies or cookies fix all my troubles, makes my kids better people and me the best mom ever - they really bother me. Here's the brownie one.

    Fed up with television marketing, especially toward my young children, my husband and I gave up cable television three years ago. We thought we'd miss it but have found it much more convenient to view shows directly from network television websites. You still have the occasional commercial but it's not nearly as annoying as regular tv viewing. (And they only last 30 seconds!)

    There are so many I don't like...but I have to admit I think the Geiko Gecko is cute.

    Anything political. Either party, any candidate, every race.
