I don't know if these commercials play much on the FM side, but they are all over the AM dial.

the absolute hands down most annoying commercial ever goes to
"Hey, it's Tonya Roberts here and I want to know where are you going for your next romantic getaway." blah blah blah timeshare pitch.
So many things wrong with this one not to mention who the hell is Tonya Roberts.

other honorable mention
"This is your kid's mp3 player. Do you know what your kid is listening to?... I heard this one cat say weed makes you smarter cuz it makes your brain bigger."

I don't know if I am the only one listening to a lot of (free) radio, but these commercials make it hard to listen for any length of time.

Yes, that Vegas informercial rates an 11 on a scale of 1-10 on the cringe meter.

Tonya Roberts played Midge on that 70's show.
She's a grade 'B' actress (at best) She also had a role in the James Bond movie "A View to a Kill"

Those are annoying commercials. I would also like to throw in there the Vermont Teddy bear commercials as being extremely annoying.

Yep, the Tonya Roberts one makes me cringe and change the channel immediately too.

Right up there is Robbins Bros. Jewelers and Sit N Sleep here in S. Cal. I can hardly wait for the annual 4th of July promo for Sit N Sleep(commercial with Yankee Doodle Dandy used as the background).

:nohead:

The one I hate is for becoming a mystery shopper. It is very sad that people will listen to it and get excited about this becoming their job.

I agree Tom. She sure doesn't have a voice made for radio. It sounds like she smokes 3 packs a day. And that mp3 commercial makes me puke.

But that Sit N Sleep is the most annoying. They have those during the local TV news here too. I just change the channel.

How about that flea commercial with that kid singing "there ain't no bugs on me"? I can't stand the sound of that kid's voice.

On an unrelated note, I had a dream that Tom Leykis was on the Tonight Show and he had lost a lot of weight and was wearing a beard. He looked pretty good.

Ugggh, yeah, the bugs one is bad.

Hate the annoying Mike Thompson RV crap too. And who can forget Paul's TV "I am the King!"

No it's not radio, but nothing has ever irritated me like that "Head on" commercial. Whoever came up with & approved that idea should have a baseball bat taken to their skull. Let's see how the crap works then.

I've heard it said that advertising executives don't care if you hate their commercials as long as you remember them. I don't know if that works for the masses but I know it turns a lot of people off to their product so much so that they won't use the product.

I'm sure the ad execs think that the name recognition is worth it. Personally, I'll never even think about buying the stuff due to the torture that they've forced upon me.

I refuse to go to Paul's just because he's so arrogant when he says "I am the king!"

Yep, wouldnt venture to La Habra for a tv anyway. All these places need new ad campaigns, or maybe they like that consumers get so battered with their commercials that it causes consumers to remember the name. I won't be a consumer buying from any of the above mentioned merchants.
