The Olive Garden commercial that bothers me the most is the one with the mother and the teenage son having together time there. I hate the son in particular, especially the way he says, "Mmm, breadsticks." And when the mother asks, "Is Dawn still in the picture?" and he goes, "Mmmmmaybe."

Also, one of those singing guys in the Red House commercial (the one with the beard) looks so much like Dan Radcliffe in profile, except he's really tall.

I think all of these characters are HORRIBLE, except for the horny doctor.

I instantly hit the mute button whenever this commercial comes on.

I don't generally like to (publicly) make fun of children, but I confess that I find a little girl in a paper towel (Bounty, I think) commercial insufferable. The mom is cleaning up a mess from a science-experiment type volcano and the girl is on the phone and says, in a cringe inducing, voice "..you know what ________ it EXPLODED..." (the blank is either Daddy or Teddy, I've never been able to tell and my kids and I make fun and debate it).

I hate every single one of the Optimum Triple Play commercials.

This is my least favorite:

The Sham-Wow dude now does spots for the "Slap Chop" food chopper. At one point he actually says, "You'll love my nuts!"

I hate the Olive Garden commercials, and the Head-On, apply directed to the forehead? Apply directly to the forehead. Apply directly to the forehead? Apply directly to the forehead. Apply directly to the forehead? Apply directly to the forehead.
"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

The Palm Pre girl only because I see that commercial dozens and dozens of times every day.

This isn't really annoying, but it is so lame it is hilarious:

ETA: Oops, someone beat me to it - mine was also the Eagle Man commercial.

I also hate those Optimum Triple Play commercials.

I don't know if this one was posted, but the Montgomery furniture store commercial is annoying:

"I hate the Baskin Robbins ice cream cake commercial too. It reminds me of the stupid banana thing from the Denny's commercials and the Filet O' Fish from McDonalds."

I think it is a parody of the banana thing.

Funny you mention the Filet O' Fish commercial. I majored in advertising, and the creative director who worked on that commercial came to speak to my class.
