A couple years ago, it was the repeated Saab commercials…it was beaten into my head that Saab was made my jet pilots, or something like that.
This year (after only two stages), I think the most annoying ads are:
Other thoughts?
Thanks for letting me vent.
bowflex is probably the worst commercial i have ever seen during tour de france… it was simply annoying and terrible… probably not targeting the right people either!
Pretty much all of the ads Versus is playing are terrible. The Team Time Trial promos are cool, the general TdF promos are cool, but the rest are awful.
I miss the old Nike/Livestrong ads:
The Mike’s Hard Lemonade ads with the Chris Farley lookalike are already annoying me.
The Toyota commercials are killing me…they are on every commercial break. The stupid whistling drive me nuts! I have to change the channel during commercial breaks!
I allways thought it was funny that the Saab people started making cars cuz they couldn’t compete making jets

I think every single damn commercial is annoying ! For christ sake lets just nock the commercials down to 30 seconds every so often. Seems like every two minutes they are going to commercials. So the answer is all of them.
How about the “Start thinking with your dipstick” commercial. I get that in my head and it’s there all day.
i hated the Lincoln commercials a few years back too.
I like smilin bob though, he should have a cycling team, think of the descriptions “Penetrating the pack, the climax of the long climb, thrusting his way through the other sprinters, long, hard effort” and so forth…
I like the Cervelo, Trek and Specialized ads actually.
The boner pills jingle is giving me a softie.
I like that Road ID commercial of Lepiheimer’s.
My Tivo won’t let me watch the ads anymore, sorry. 
TdF ad Hall of Shame to those stupid Lincoln Navgator ads that ran with that awful elevator-from-hell jazz music playing. This is from Lance’s zenith of maybe 5 years ago. The ads alone were enough to make me root for $7/gallon gas.
I’ll ask my Tivo if it’s ok to see the Cervelo ad, though, of course.
I kinda like that girl in the Cadillac advert. Not sure why. I’m impressed by Cadillac’s attempt to rebrand themselves.
As for the Enzyte ads, well, maybe they figure we all need it because we spend too much time in the saddle…
Lame cars are still lame cars. When does Detroit learn that they need to redesign the cars not just the brand or advertising?
I think they are learning now…

Does that mean that you aren’t liking the idea of that new Caddy CTS “sport wagon” as a support vehicle? I don’t know…I am…

That and the Steve Larsen’s Mongoose ones from back in the day.

There are commercials? Seriously who watches commercials anymore, actually who watches live TV anymore?
You need to learn how to use a DVR effectively, start recording, start watching 90 mins into it, skip through commercials and you will be live with the ending and you got to sleep another 90 mins. =]
the all time worst was the “RunAway Shoes.com!!” ad from 2002 or so. The USPS put that one out I think.

I remember those, think it was 2001 because I was spending the summer studying for the Bar exam and watched everyday at home. There was another commercial at the same time for the USPS (I think) that had some guy running around a baseball stadium during a major league game waving a sign and yelling “Runawayshoes.com” while the security guys chased him. God, that got annoying after two or three days.
