I hate the McD commercial with the guy training the noob on how to make a salad like it is the most advanced culinary skill in the world. YOU WORK AT MCDONALDS you cannot be a great chef there, you are a ######!
I haven't gone through all 30 pages, but the commercial that completely parses me off is the Auto Value Auto Parts commercial. Oh god I want to punch the wall when I hear it.
The "host" isn't funny, the jokes are LAME and it's kind of insulting.
I find something seriously scary/creepy about the Swiss Chalet one out now. The one where the dad comes to the door to take his (obviously estranged daughter) out for supper.
Its like she's just turned 18, and the restraining order that's kept her weirdo father away all these years is no longer in force or something. "Dad! What are you doing here?! How did you find out where I live? Get AWAY from me, you creep!" That's what she's really thinking.
She's torn. Should she stab him in the eye with a fork or go out to dinner with him? I can only think the only reason she goes along with him is because her therapist assured her it would be a good thing to confront her father.
The commercial is just so... wrong. Family values & Christmas harmony? Heck no. This commercial is just loaded with weirdo-pedo overtones and shows the horror of a young woman realizing that the child-abuse she thought was behind her haunts her still.
Its a very strange way to sell chicken-dinners if you ask me.

I have not seen that one on tv yet, but I looked it up after reading your post...
I agree it seems more creepy than heartwarming.

Really? You read that all into that commercial? Wow. I thought it a little strange.... But there are a LOT of families where the mother got full custody and the father is pushed out of the picture. WITHOUT any pedophilia/incest. And while the daughter is obviously cold to the father, most kids are unsure of a parent they have not seen in a while, particularly if they have been living with an ex-wife that has been feeding the child awful stories about the father.
How about that skin flap one? Just the phrase 'skin flap' is going to be all kinds of annoyance as that commercial keeps playing. Yuck, I know what skin flaps are, but that commercial is not what I had in mind.
I cannot stand the Fountain Tire ones. So here is a sign that says get $100 off, what does that mean, no really I know you explained it to me like a three year old, but what does it mean. We have done four years of commercials of me proving that I ate nothing but paint chips my entire life but guess what, I am still a freaking idiot and have an IQ less then a freaking brain dead earthworm.
Grrrrrrr!

The first time I saw this one I thought it was going to be a public service announcement then they drove up to Swiss Chalet. Still had the awkward feeling once they got inside.
There are some commercials that are funny the first time you see them. The problem is they are shown over and over again. At that point, I don't care how good the commercial was, I hate it.
Polar bears don't drink coke and share it with seal cubs, they eat seal cubs...
And don't get me started about the Vancouver olympic torch thing... RRRRRRRAAAARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Not denying a thing you say. Just hating the commercial!
The thing that seems most off to me about the swiss chalet commercial is that none of it is realistic. First of all... this young lass appears to be staying in a very nice house and is single. I say single... because she was able to leave without telling anyone where she was going. If the father was picked her up from a small apartment or rez, then the commercial would have been far more effective. Frankly, I don't know what age bracket they are trying to appeal with that one.
And my current piss off commercial... JEEP with the god awful ausie/outback fake singing and the damn little animal in it that winks.
the real one, or the nissan one where the guys rips the tv screen apart?
