We need to establish a scale

My college roommate and I used to sing the Hardees Big Chef Burger jingle solely to annoy one of the guys across the hall.

The most annoying jingle in history for me:

 

If you can drive a truck,

You got a job my friend.

Diesal Driving Acadamy

Will teach you all you need to know-oooooooooooooooo.

 

Dial 1-8-HUNdreeeed.

five five one........eightnine hundreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

THE ROAD STARTS RIGHT HERE-ERRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAHHHHH.

 

 

The goddamned thing didn't even rhyme. I will never forget that crap.

local Chicago commercial that NEEDS to be overplayed:

 

"Look! It's Eagleman!"

"I'VE got something for YOOOOOOOOOU"

 

the classic Victory Auto Wreckers commercial that has been running since about 1979 still makes a special guest appearance now and then, usually on channel 9. I don't see it as often as I did, say, 9 years ago.

Oh, there is this one commercial they play in atlanta like a million times a day for a law firm. the whole commercial shows these fat cat lawyers laughing about how they are going to get over on the little man, then they find out that the guy is represented by Gary, Martin, Hayes and he does a spit take, or the lawyers look at each other as you get the law and order "DUN DUN" and they say "lets see if we can settle this".

 

You only know this if you see it on at 3-4 am. Because when it plays in the day time, they are too cheap to pay for more time, so the commercial is broken down to:

 

[scared voice]1st guy: GARY MARTIN HAYES???

 

DUN DUN (guy does spit take)

 

2nd Guy: Lets try to settle

 

 

it doen't even make sense and is all of 7 seconds long. But they play it hundreds of times.

how bout those O commercials? you know, the ones with that decent looking chick that says "It's all about the O", "It's all about the clothes", "It's all about the gold", etc. I'd give that a .06 Everest at least...

 

yeah I agree with those Jamster commercials...I'd like to see the dorks that actually download that lame shit...I'd give it a .09 Everest...

 

any Chrylser commercial simply because of that little violin diddy that plays right at the beginning signifying it's a Chrysler commercial...I'd say .07 Everest...

Czech, I have a strange request to ask of you. Can you record that commerical on video by chance, and send it to me? I've seen that commercial once, and some sleazy buddies of mine from LaPorte were always going on about it. I was up there one weekend and witnessed the thing and I god damn died.

If you happen to have it already immortalized on some copy of Smoky and the Bandit II or whatever recorded off of TV, a copy of that would suffice.

When I was in South Carolina in 02 visiting grandma in the span of one week I must have seen this ad for Admiral Steamer Carpet Cleaner 5 billion gajillion trillion times. The jingle just won't die in my head

 

8-5-5,1-1-8-8

8-5-5,1-1-8-8

It's the steam!

8-5-5,1-1-8-8

That gets it clean!

8-5-5,1-1-8-8

Anyone else have Peter Francis Geraci? Worst monotone ever.

 

Call for his ((free)) ((bankruptcy)) ((tapes))

Those are horrible. They're not shown a whole lot, so I can tolerate them.

 

Jamster, on the other hand...

Eagleman? I can try, it's one that of course only runs on the UHFs. I'll scour WPWR 50 for it late at night. If anyone else in the Chicago area wants to help me out, you can try WCIU, which my shitty college cable system doesn't carry.

 

I miss Celozzi and Ettleson, on York and Bensenville Road. WHERE YOU ALWAYS SAVE MORE MONEY.

That spyware commercial that starts off with the Blond Russian girl saying "Do you have warms?" and then some British guy talking about virus protection. They show that all the freaking time. And why in the hell couldn't they get some american actors for this commercial? ~Dey tuk ar JOBS!!!

 

Oh and of course, the commercial that has to get a 2.0 Everest just because the commercials come in twos, Bob and his huge penis.

Arby's Oven Mit commercials...

 

I can't decide between .6 or .7 Everest...

 

Muggy, I was about to put that Starburst commercial up there as well, that's getting awfully close to full scale Everest already...

The latest set of commercials to annoy me are the ones where someone asks questions about pop culture (like celebs or sports figures) then end with something like "Oh by the way, do you know such-and-such about your kid?!"

Oh yeah, another set of commercials to annoy me lately are the radio Sierra Mist Free commercials where they do stupid word play with the whole "free" thing

 

The TV commercial with Fred Willard and Michael McKean still rocks though

Yeah the Sierra Mist shit is retarded. I was listening to it on the radio one day and was wondering what the hell the point of it was.

 

I heard the worst jingle for this place called Dr. Shapiro's Hair Institute on the radio the other day. All it did was say:

"Doctor Shapiroooooooo... Haiir Institute!"

 

What the hell is the point.

Another casino: "The biiiiiig M means mooooooooney."

There's those lame commercials that they play during the day on TBS about people getting off their asses and getting a job. Especially horrible is the one with the air conditioning technician. 'Get you a cool job!'

 

This new Molson Canadian commercial ('It starts here') has been playing pretty much non-stop it seems. And it's bad.

And it's stuff you'd have no way in hell of knowing unless you freakin' stalk your own children. It's creepy as hell.

 

There's also the commercial where it's implied that if a parent gets caught trying to steal cable or pull insurance fraud, their kids are going to be ostracized from all their friends. They're worse than if your dad was caught on camera snorting coke off an underaged boy's penis while wearing a crap-filled diaper and being whipped with cat-o-nine-tails.
