I hate the Subaru commercials where the guy drives 3 miles to work and then the trip home is bad because it snows. I drive 55 miles to work in my camry when it snows. I would never buy a Subaru based on that one commercial.

We DVR almost everything, so we don't too many live commercials. We do back some up when something looks interesting.

I don't really watch commercials. When they come on during a show, that's when I finish the dishes, get the mail, put the laundry in, or some other household task.

The recent Geico commercials are getting on my nerves. I really miss the Gecko! Forget about the other characters.

agree most are annoying, what annoys me most if your watching an hour long show, and everytime it goes to commercial break they show the same commercial EACH time!

I think the Progressive commercials have been beat to death, enough already, then our captions are usually progressive related lol

Yeah, I liked the lizard.  Although I did like the one with the pig on the air plane.  That was funny.  But the lizard ones were the best.

I have not seen one in a long time.  The last one I remember was when they had the almost naked woman leaning on a car trying to be sexy eating a burger.  I think it was pulled because so many people complained.  I think I told them I would not return to their restaurant after seeing that.  And I haven't.

Is that the one that has Flo in it?  I hate the one with the cat and as the cat jumps down she is whispering "don't leave me".

I don't like any commercials but the ones I hate the most are GEICO, other insurance companies, and the car commercials. There's just too many and too often.

Yesterday, I was watching The Walking dead marathon and a new game for the computer was aired on AMC over and over and over again. I counted 30 times in the span of 5 hours. I won't ever download that game to play because of it. it also seems like GEICO airs once every 15 minutes and it doesn't matter what station you're watching.

Long ago, commercials were short and sweet and the programs were 25 minutes. Now the programs are 15 minutes and the commercials take up the remaining time.

I get annoyed with the "Life Alert" commercials. They are very cheaply made. And why would they show a little girl staying with grandma whom has fell..It just is sad to me. But I guess it is good to have. It can happen.
