The new Progressive talking box. Unless the point was to make him complete unlikable, they failed. But I'm talking about it, so in some way they succeeded.

Agreed. It's not great.
On the other hand, the new Apple Cookie Monster commercial is one of the best in years.

Why would you choose Chris Parnell for the voice if not to make him completely unlikable.

The box is more tolerable than Flo. But not by much.

OK, so, it's the competition, but I laugh every time the Geico ad with the mom who calls the son who's in the middle of some villanous fight "The squirrels are back." Hee!
Also, if there was any way to not get me to buy your product, it's to feature big gross bugs. So good job Microsoft!

I love the Oberto beef jerky ads with Stephen A. Smith in an athlete's stomach. I keep thinking of the obvious sequel, Stephen A. Smith emerging from an orifice slightly farther down the digestive tract.

This commercial wasn't so much annoying as just plain weird, if not outright creepy.
I cannot even recall what product it was for. it was several years ago. A man sees a slinky dress on a hanger hanging in a doorway, with his wife visible in the next room. He picks up the dress, holds it up next to his wife's profile and smiles.
Then his teenage daughter walks by and says "oh thanks dad" and takes the dress from his hand. Dad looks queasy.

I remember that commercial. Viagra! (Kidding.)
I do remember the commercial. For men with daughters, that's probably very unsettling. For guys like me, hilarious!

I believe it to be the world's worst attempt to animate clip art, as well as the world's largest collection of elderly b-roll footage.
However, posting it today because something was a little off. Exact same commercial. Voices, b-roll, and crappy animations all the same, but the characters were changed from black to white.

Re: Annoying Commercials 2: Searching for the MUTE button
The Android "Rock, Paper, Scissors" commercial is cute. They play an extended version at the movie theater. It isn't often ads are quality and it should be celebrated when they are. Maybe, just maybe, if praise is heaped upon the good ones the advertisers will pay attention and give us better commercials.
