The Worst of Television: Commercials, Sitcoms, Cartoons...

[Christopher]

Byotown. It's like a Neisan style Simpsons. It's anoying!

Brotown. A terrible show. Everyone is already quoting it. Its driving me nuts. I say it on bittorrent. Some poor pathetic New Zealander is sending their crap out to the world -_-

The Sultana Bran ad on TV. A jingle sung to the tune of "Heard it on the grapevine".

You've never experienced how annoying it is until you've heard it 20 times in an hour period.

The worst comercial in the world is for a place called Dod's Furniture and Mattress Stores. The guy who owns them, Dod, always stars and he can barely speak english at all. If you don't know those than the other worst commercials are for Ovaltine chocolate milk mix.

The worst plot on a TV show has got to be Friday's Rosemary and Thyme.

'OH DARN IT, A SELOTAPED CARDBOARD STAG IS GOING TO COME AND SHOOT ME WITH A HARPOON THING!'

*shakes head* Dear goodness what are the scriptwriters coming to...

I'm so glad I have avoided that programme like the plague. The whole concept is silly anyway.

Commercials I can't stand?
My Little Pony commercials. I had the cotton candy cafe one in my head for a whole day once.
There's this one really creepy lottery commercial, praise the gods I haven't saw it lately, I think it's either 649 or Super 7, and there's this asian guy who's all "I won the lottery!" and then starts singing this song in this really creepy, deep voice and there's something about "I can buy some/solid gold pants!" and it's all very scary. It disturbs me.
There's one I'm torn between, I can't tell if I like it or not. It's on the radio for Telus Picture Phones, with this guy who says "I have seen the aliens. In their ship, I travelled far beyond our galaxy to start system 7. We ate porridge, and they all wore grey flannel slacks. You believe me right...right?" and he has this really creepy voice...I'm not sure if I like it.

TV Shows I can't stand:
Barney, Teletubbies, Hamtaro, George Shrinks...the new Pokemon series...that's all I can think of.

Good Commercials-
One for Maple Leaf 10 Minute Roast Beef...the guy is so funny. He always forgets things, and it reminds me of me...
Wife: Ken, you remembered something!
Ken:...Ken who?
ku ku ku ku ku ku I love it. I can't remember what it is he remembered though.
There's one for some soup, I'm guessing the couple are in Japan, and they're reading out of a English-to-Japanese dictionary and talking about the soup in Japanese and the wife says "the carrots are nice." and the husband says "yeah, you can almost taste the taxi." and then there's an akward silence and he's like "chicken..." and then it cuts to them coming out of a building trying to get a taxi shouting "CHICKEN, CHICKEN!" I almost fell over laughing.
And I like the Lipton Sidekicks Plus where the guy is stirring the stuff and reading the cookbook and it gets harder to stir and then the spoon gets stuck in my mixture and then the pans falls off so he's holding up the mixture with the spoon stuck in it XD It's so funny.

I guess some commercials in HK are very different. Evidently XD There's this commercial with William Hung holding this coffee maker thing and singing! And there are females dancing with him at the back. I don't ever want to see it again. In fact, I only watched like a few seconds of it before I yelled at my brother to change the channel.

Since I don't watch a lot of TV now since my brother hogs it, there are some old commercials I absolutely detest.
Miracle foot repair
This one McDonalds commercial with this guy talking to this female with his mouth opened and then chewing really disgustingly. *shudders*
The horriffically long chinese commercials about some place to live, accomodation, whatever.
Cartoon Network commercials (and the cartoons as well, especially "Ed, Edd and Eddy"; I came across it while my brother was watching it and for a second I thought all my brain cells died >.>)
The leg waxing thing...starts with the letter "L" or something. That woman peeled that thing off and at the point I was like, "OW!"
The chinese commercial about this thing that can make your hair blacker and look younger *rolls eyes* All the TV did was just turned the original coloured background to some other colour.

Shows I can't stand?
Teletubbies, Barney (the song, it kills >.<), The Tweenies; Basically shows that involve giant stuffy things...like a person dressed in that costume. *shivers* I have to admit, I have a phobia for those (True, I actually hide behind my mum when one of them comes along).

I'm so sure there are loads more XD

I'm going to get bashed for saying this most likely, but . . .

I absolutely, completely, 100% dislike anime. Not just the stuff in America . . . my friend is addicted to it and made me watch some. I really wanted to barf all the way through.

That Six Flags commercial with the dancing old guy scares he royal dookie out of me. Especially the Holloween version...-SHUDDERS-

Well, I just saw one very frightening commercial for AOL where some preteen girl is dancing very hyperly to an Evanescence song.

Yes because ofcourse, onleh teh trwu gawths lisn to evenscense111!!!

[fzun]

I absolutely hated those enzyte commercials. That tune *shudders*.

[meowth1982]

I hate the commercials for AOL where they are asking for viruses. Except the guy who wants his computer to sound like a Yeti. He's just GREAT

Now, now, Kugetsu can help you. Saying you dislike Anime in general is like saying you dislike music and videogames etc. in general.

So you hate all anime no matter what it is right? So you've seen all the anime in the world? Such a broad, broad statement...

Since this thread is revived, I hate those new christmas Old Navy commercials. Especially the kid who says, "What a deal!"
