Annoying Commercials

Annoying commercials are a part of the advertising lexicon. They tend to grab you by the ears and make you take notice, whether you want to or not. Here's a couple for your perusement.

The singer in this Heineken commercial (is it just me or are Heineken commercials the most annoying commercials on TV as of late? I can barely understand what the f*ng hell she's singing, let alone understand why they've got that song on the advertisement to begin with.

Now using a Bollywood song "Jaan Pahechan Ho" to symbolize a "date in Chinatown" and advertising GERMAN beer????? WTF were they thinking????!! Figures ad execs can't tell the difference between Hindi and Cantonese.

This ad, La Vie Grand Marnier (The Life Grand Marnier) and it's inbred cousin "Apres-Ski" (After Skiing) are earworms enough to make you want to scream and run for the hills. The liquor may be nice, but the advertisement makes me want to bash a full bottle of Grand Marnier over the ad exec's head. "Yeah...Bonjour Monsieur??? F* YOU!!!!"

Sure, freak the poor gramma out. Then she'll have a myocardial infarction, kick the bucket then you won't be able to feed her your cereal. I can't find the one Kashi ad that really pisses me off, but in that ad there's this woman who speaks pedantically, "This is a strawberry, a real strawberry..." as the camera pans over a strawberry...then "This is an almond, a real almond"...No fucking shit...I thought it was a kumquat!!!
