Gag-worthy "inspirational" Weight Watchers commercial with Song of the Lonely blasting in the background.

Anything with Wilford Brimley.

Eww -- that reminds me of 1-800-MYLEMON. The way the guy on the radio says "Myyyyyyyy Lemon!" just makes me want to smack him.

Or is that just a New Jersey commercial?

Never heard of MYLEMON.

I never ever again want to hear the words, "Take Airborne, baby!"

Thanks a lot. Now I'm going to have that damn Empire song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

The Crazy Eddie commercials.

To anyone in the Central New York region:

"IT'S HUUUUUUUUUUUGE!"

I want Billy Fucillo to be flattened by a bus.

I hate the faux 30s or 40s style vocals with which they sing the EMPIRE song, also. So so terrible.

Oh, also the car service ad with the guy screaming, "TAXIIIIIII!" "Call the 7s of 7 Limousine..."

but, (and I know it's the opposite topic), I LOVE the GE elephant dancing to "Singing In The Rain"...

Okay, back to the bad ones...

Hi. I'm Robert Vaughn. And my career is in such bad shape, I'm now doing commercials for (insert name of regional law firm here).

-Excuse me, lady who used to play Marie on Days of Our Lives. Have you ever tried this life insurance?
-Oh, Mr. Trebek!

Look! It's Mickey Rooney and his wife! They're selling insurance, too!

Commercials during daytime TV are like a Hollywood career graveyard.

I HATE that Lamisil toe-fungus monster ad.

I can't watch it.

OMG, the Dyson commercials are so hilarious, just because my friend made some comment about WHY he was so upset about the lousy suction and now that's all I can think of.

Damn good vacuums, though.

I'm with Calvin on the Robert Vaughn ones. I don't find them annoying. I find them incredibly sad and I want to hug Robert Vaughn for prostituting himself in such a manner.

You promised me poems. ~Tricky

So many that I dispise have already been mentioned, but I'd like to add "Lost another one to Ditech." I hate that guy!

ME TOO ADDY!!!!

There was also one on Lifetime for a while with people screaming their heads off about the mold in their bathrooms. I actually complained.

I try not to think about TV commercials, actually...

I find them hard to avoid, however.

I can't stand the new one for Marshalls (the one where the voiceover is done from that show that starred David Spade). Her voice is extremely annoying.

Another one which is constantly being run, is the "Mrs. Freshy Freshendom" for some kind of pork sausage.

But now I have the tag line from the Ogilvy home perm ad running in my head.
