Default HONNN-NEEEE - We're in Nassau!

Fan 960's most annoying commercial yet?

IT'S MAGIC! THE STARS ARE DEAD RIGHT!

Is that a man or a woman gushing about Nassau? I can't tell. Seems to have a fake Caribbean accent. Why would a Caribbean be so excited about a trip to Nassau?

maybe its a fake accent because they want to get in the spirit of the carribbean. I want to rip my ear drums out with a spoon everytime I hear it though.

Dood, I have been meaning to start a thread on this one too.

AND I HAVE ME LEEEEST!!!

The first few commercials "it" did, I honestly thought it was a man. The whold ad from beggining to end brings out the rage in me.

Worst. Commercial. EVER!!

Oh I hate this commercial so much, why do they have to get people to fake an accent like that? It is not like it is so hard to find someone that has the needed accent for a commercial.

I hate that one the most. I am a nearly 40 y/o male professional. Why they want me to change channels or turn on the ipod, i will never understand but they are damn good at influencing my behaviour.

I read the thread title and thought it going to be a post about Troutman being in Nassau and boasting about how great the weather was

My fan960 most hated commercials list....

1. Caribbean woman? acting like she had no idea they were on vacation.
2. Spence diamonds guy - I may have to make a trip to that store to punch him straight in the mouth.
3. Alpine Mortgage commercials - that jingle at the end makes me want to run someone over
4. "Stay classy alberta" guy, I think this is an auto parts one. arrgh..

So many others to list but these are my absolute worst.

Yeah, I'm convinced that the "woman" in the Bahamas commercial is a guy in drag who is faking a Carribbean accent. ugh. There are so many annoying commercials on right now.
