Roxy, surely you can't mean Flo, the most a-sexual woman on TV???
That's why they write and cast nerdy people to co-star in the ads:
Who can forget???
the clumsy fellow looking for discounts -- he owns a house, is a safe driver and is willing to buy on line. But he's never been laid, you can bet on that.
the hen-pecked husband who wears a shoulder purse given by is wife whom he has never had sex with.
the piggy bank who says "Thanks"
and my personal favorite, the old codger who says "Okey-McSmokey, Skiddle-lee-do" (See my other thread) It's been a while since he's had any either.

I thought the Hyundai band was cute at first, but hearing "Up on the Housetop" every 15 minutes a week after Christmas is enough to make me go all Elvis on the TV.

Calvin, every 15 minutes?!!! More like every 5 minutes. I wanted to smack both the girl and guy in that commercial upside the head. Let's also add the equally annoying Honda Holiday commercial with the horrible Paul McCartney impersonation. Those two commercials had me changing channels constantly. I thought it would stop after Christmas, but NOOOOOO. I kept the television off all weekend as a result.

I like Flo. I remember the actress was one of the secretaries in early Mad Men episodes.
I hate all of the FreeCreditReport.com commercials, especially the bands doing their own annoying jingle.

Aw, I like Flo.
I am happy that Vince the Shamwow guy isn't getting as much play, but the products he hawked seem to be getting more prevalent in my local stores. It's getting harder and harder to walk down an aisle and not be assaulted by his creepy jawbone and hipster hair.

The bland, cookie-cutter guy who does the State Farm commercials is the worst thing on TV right now. I guess they were going for hip/cool, but they failed miserably.

Let me preface this by stating that I TOTALLY support the cause, but if I have to listen to Willie Nelson warble for the ASPCA with those dead-eyed dogs and cats staring at me one more time, I'll go all Calvin on somebody.

Oh God almighty, I am right there with you, SOMMS. Those pull-on-your-heartstrings ASPCA commercials ran constantly during the Twilight Zone marathon. I know they're designed to make you feel horrible about abandoned and abused animals, but if they make make you reach for the remote every time they pop up, they can't be effective.
And for the record, I LOVE Flo.

I also agree with the ASPCA commercials. Why should I need to cry while watching something happy?

Just knew Flo would be the first target of this thread before I even clicked on this thread. 
I didn't mind her at first, but I think it's about time to retire the character now.

Flo is hands-down my favorite.
There's a really creepy guy on a DiGriorno's pizza commercial. He's trying to convince his friend that not only was the pizza delivered, but there were all sorts of surcharges.
He has a face that belongs on a post office bulletin board.

I seldom use facebook, but if Flo were in danger of being removed from the airwaves, I'd join a facebook group to support her.

Bluemoon, I was thinking the same thing. How effective is an ad campaign if it makes you want to change the channel?
I also want to add that the Truvia ad/song annoys the hell out of me.
I like Flo.

The only ad that makes me hit the clicker quicker is that PajamaJean ad. I can't wait to see the first pair at the mall on a way-too-big ass with the muffin top spilling over.

I can't stand those mock-opera Yellowtail Wine ads. WTF!
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
