My latest one is the Safe-Lite commercial with the two annoying dudes.

"Safe-Lite repair! Safe-Lite replace these idiots!"

All of them. I ditched satellite 15+ years ago, and I'm not having anything to do with the digital local stuff. We do pay for a couple different services that don't have commercials, and we rotate to freshen things up.

Liberty Mutual emu commercials. Just plain stupid. A ripoff of Geicho's gecco which is actually cute.

This is very grumpy-old-man-ish, but I hate commercials where the content has no connection to the product and its benefits, and those - when you think back on them - where you can remember the commercial but not what it was advertising.

My wife and I hate the Burger King commercials because they sing flat, especially when they hit "beee yaaay". Could they not have hired singers that can hit the notes??

Or they’re advertising some prescription drug and showing fun-loving people sailing while listing all of the possible side effects - vomiting, bloody stools, black urine, heart attacks, death and all that other good stuff.

Also, feminine product commercials that go into way too much detail…. is that really necessary?

It's the "You rule!" at the end that makes snap.

I always mute commercials whenever I rarely watch commercial TV. CBS Sunday Morning is one program I try to catch, these days the commercials on that show are aimed at viewers 65 and older. Hey, that's me!

Spectrum knows how to stir hatred. They trash my mail box with their advertisement send their workers to my house and tries to waste my time. They also have tv commercial time which after all of their abuse just stirs the brew even more.

I hate the commercials for local businesses that are poorly made with low quality video and awful people appearing in them.

I was beaten to the Burger King singing clown.  I agree, incredibly annoying.

Also, the guy advertising his own "On Patrol" show during the Cops reruns. 

Both examples feature the offender starting right at the beginning of the commercial so there's no time to grab the remote and hit mute or fast-forward quickly enough to avoid the assault.
