I honestly can't think of a commercial I don't hate more. If those are examples of what ideal nuclear families are supposed to be, it's no wonder they've all but gone extinct.

I liked the Old Spice commercials with the black guy that would transition from one scene to another seamlessly.

I turn the channel every time this commercial bugs me so much.

I like that one.

I can't sand some of the Honda commercials, the "fashionably late" and the "spy" and even the Japanese couple talking who inadvertently don't realize the caucasion male salesman speaks Japanese as well. All the dialogue is grotesque at best.

And then the salesperson simply says they've got some good deals going on and that's it, the folk seem to simply buy the car, no questions asked and without specifics.

I wish I could do that for my jobs, "I've got some good deals going on hvac/electrical repairs and systems, give me your money."

They're speaking Chinese, not Japanese.

Alarm clocks. Whenever I hear that sound my blood pressure sky-rockets. I despise commercials with alarm clocks.

I have an aquaintence in the L.A. area who bosts that he has, many times. He has pictures of them together on dates (not naked pics) to prove it too. But with Photoshop being so good now, I don't take pictures at face value any more.

Side note, for those who hate the Flo and the Geico caveman commercials:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sk5XG3DpXg

Since getting a DVR, I am constantly hitting the "Jump Fwd" button on my remote when watching live TV, then getting pissed that it doesn't work. I've even wanted to do it at a Movie once...

Nope, but I lived in Japan for three years when I was in the military and know the difference.
