    Every ad for tampons and maxi pads that have women with their legs all spread doing yoga bends, dancing, climbing rocks, and doing giant ballet splits.

    I get it, alright?! I am very-much old enough to know what the product does and where it goes, lol - and I'm pretty sure your target audience of women is quite informed too. You don't have to show us continual close ups of it!

    Chalk me up for hating the Sprint Framily commercials. And it gets bad if you're a NASCAR fan when at least one of those commercials is played EVERY DOGGONE BREAK.

    The Amazon kids don't bug me for some reason, the only thing that kinda makes me scratch my head is the one where the boy is watching Hunger Games, and the girl is watching a Bond movie. But the one where the two nerds are arguing over what movie they're watching is dumb. "Hey guys! See any X men BESIDES Wolverine? No? Well, then it's definitely not X3."

    Those new Fiat commercials annoy me.
    Those Framily ads are some of the worst commercials I have come across in my opinion.

    The Credit Karma ads with the two women sitting on a bench. They're like a more annoying, female equivalent of the Sonic "two idiots in a car" ads.

    The 'Framily' ads didn't used to bother me until the recent one that's just thumping techno/dance/whatever music with the characters randomly jumping around to it.

    And, like others have mentioned, the smug hipster Amazon kids.

    They're probably trying to appeal to the same kind of hipsters who would think the Amazon kids are totally awesome.

    That stupid iPhone 5s commercial with the "Chicken Fat" song.

    The DirecTv ads where one thing leads to another. "Don't sell your hair to a wig shop." Oh, shut up please.

    Heck, really 99% of the ads on television and the internet.

    Well, I had the displeasure of seeing one of those McDonald's 'economnomics' commercials.

    How do those people NOT feel stupid going 'NOM NOM NOM'?

    The Red Bull Air Race advert currently playing in cinemas in the UK. "Were you paying attention?" No, advert. No I was not.

    I can't find any examples of them on YouTube, but there's these anti-smoking commercial that annoy the hell out of me. They're these super hipster 'we'll stop smoking forever!' commercials.

    It's literally like if Anonymous was run by whiny teenagers.

    That Froot Loops Cereal commercial where the couple ends up "playing" Super Mario Bros. At the end. Anyone who's played SMB on NES can tell try aren't actually playing.
    For one thing, The woman "Playing" starts mario off from the Titles. When one actually starts playing SMB, Those titles disappear after the "Player 1 x5" Screen, meaning that's actually the Demo Screen.
    For another thing, her button-presses are waaaaaay to rapid for Super Mario Bros.
