Mega-Annoying

While it may not be in the same 'annoyance' category as Spence, or Olivia, or Chloe's scream, that printer ink ad is right up there.

I'm finding the latest crop of Subaru spots unlistenable. And I wish Alpine Credits would go back to the guy they had before answering questions on the phone. These fictional "superstars" they showcase now are just idiotic and irritating.

Not as annoying as a news reader saying there was a lot of earthquake damage in the city of Makahresh last weekend. Went on for several newcasts before someone corrected him.

Agreed, on all counts.

Agree. I just heard this MEGA awful spot this morning. It's inkonceivable that a couple of creative types were so darn toner deaf to think a booming voice would be enough to distract from the weak copy.

Re: Mega-Annoying

A different spot, but ironic how that Subaru commercial about the kids making the driver crazy by singing the "Wheels on the Bus" over and over and over is exactly what this ad does to me as it plays endlessly nearly every break. Still, it's better than that other one for this car company in which a supposed fitness coach tells people how to drive. 

To me, that one makes Mega-Tank seem positively entertaining.

And here I thought only Tom's Place could make me physically get up and change the station if the radio happens to be in another room.
