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.

Posted: 8/11/09 at 4:05pmOh gawd any of the commercials with Vince the Sham-wow guy. He is so so creepy!

Posted: 8/11/09 at 4:15pmI 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).

A Chicago classic: the Eagle Man. The women's acting is bad enough, then the Eagle giving birth...

Posted: 8/11/09 at 5:53pmThe Sham-Wow dude now does spots for the "Slap Chop" food chopper. At one point he actually says, "You'll love my nuts!"

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.
