Let me try to do a real blogger thing here. . .
In response to this post, commenter SPIKEmgb points us in the direction of an ad that drove him crazy back in the day.
Personally, I'm grateful, because I think the Whatchamacallit jingle is one of the catchier candy bar jingles, and now I have it back in my head. But it reminded me of a commercial that I hated as a kid, even though it was targeted directly to me (notice the cutaway from the end of Get the Picture at the start of this video).
I have a whole slew of commercials that I absolutely can't get enough of that I'd like to share with you at some point, but for now, dear readers (and I know you exist), consider this an open thread for you to talk about your all-time most hated commercials. I'll see you all in comments!

I personally feel these commercials are not only beating a dead horse but lighting it on fire and throwing it off a cliff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwWfU18boOI
Is the production value of these commercials actually attracting people to throw their money away here?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q-m7YqMqtY
Any overplayed commercial for an original series such f-ing Saving Grace if you're watching TNT. Any commercial that was played during the superbowl at full length, but is now being played at a shorter length for time constraints such the eTrade baby video. Any overplayed trailer for movies like "Epic Movie" or "Superhero movie."
If more commercials were like these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqX7VxW3wL0 , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eN9KP6lOZs&feature=related , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cNDSPutas8 , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhtgw-tOj-o ,
I wouldn't have a problem.
