I'm sure this has already been posted a million times, but here's the most annoying one out there today:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4RurMSkCXs"]Dr Pepper - "Let's Have A Real Good Time/Vida 23 feat. Pitbull" - YouTube[/ame]

This and any of those freaking Jared's/Kay's commercials.

Any commercial that I have to turn the volume down on my TV but then have to turn the volume back UP on my TV when the show comes back on.

Shush, already. That's the message the Federal Communications Commission is sending with new rules that force broadcast, cable and satellite companies to turn down the volume on blaring TV commercials.

On Tuesday, the FCC passed a set of regulations that will prevent commercials from being louder than the shows around them. It's all part of the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (or CALM) Act, which President Obama signed into law last December. The rules go into effect a year from now. Companies that don't comply will face unspecified FCC action.

Thunderous television ads have annoyed viewers for years. The FCC says people have grumbled about the issue for at least a half century. But since 2002 ? thanks in part to all those clangorous car commercials, earsplitting electronics ads and booming beer pitches ? loud advertisements have been one of the top complaints the FCC receives.

FIFM, kewl.

Then, there are some commercials that do exactly the intended thing that YOU, as the annoyed consumer does....takes business FROM the company. Point in case, I give you....the Spongemonkeys (a/k/a the Quizno's....things)

That [censored]ing goddamn "Discount Doublecheck" commercial is starting to frost my cornflakes...

I might like this commercial if anyone could explain WHY the Discount Doublecheck looks like putting a belt on. That makes no sense and that is why this commercial pisses me off.

There's a commercial that plays on my 'commercial free' Sirius radio about a website called DoubleMySpeed.com that is pretty damned annoying.

The Audi commercial where the young guy comes home for Christmas and his parents ride off in his car has been shown three times already in the first half of the first bowl game of the year. :smash:
