After watching a particularly horrible Jared's commercial I got to thinking there was no way in hell I would ever shop there because of their commercials. I was curious if there were other people who had the same sort of thoughts for specific commercials and companies/products?

Absolutely.

 

Menards comes to mind.

Well I have learned from Microsoft that the "cloud" is some sort of magical photo service from the interwebs. That is not at the level of hate that I had for the stupid "Windows 7' was my idea. Windows 7 isn't half bad, but that commercial made me want to nix it.

there are always a few floating out there, and this may be the one you're talking about, but there is a jewelry store that has a couple at a cabin and it's storming out, and the guy is just insanely creepy and weirds me out.

I know exactly which commercial you're talking about. Definitely awful/weird.

This one.

 

I hate all modern mentions of "cloud". Go back 10 years and the stupid word of the day was, "cyberspace", which is the same thing as the modern overuse of "cloud".

 

Microsoft are advertising retarded, and need to keep away, far away...people buy most Microsoft products these days because they're forced too, not because they want too. They don't need commercials for that.

I never made it into cyberspace because I was too busy driving on the information super-highway.

Quizno's because of those horrible singing rat-like things they had a few years ago.

 

Whatever insurance company that "Flo" works for. She's incredibly annoying.

 

I loved the rats

 

"They got a pepper bar!"

 

Then again, the only time I have ever ate at a Quiznos was when the company I worked for was paying...

Geico. Because they pass on the costs from their ads to their customers. That animated lizard costs a ton of money.

 

Actually...i switched to Geico a few years ago and have been extremely happy with them. Only had to use them twice and never any hassles. I even have a good friend who works at Liberty Mutual and even with all of the discounts and "deals" he gave me it didn't match my Geico rate.
