Quiznos had a commercial a few years ago that was extremely bad. These gross little animals that looked like a cross between rats and moles sang a jingle. The voices were distorted and gravely. It certainly didn't make you want to eat there. It wasn't on the air very long. It may have been a local production. At that time, Quiznos had just begun (or is it began?) developing the Oklahoma area. LOL
[EDIT]===>>> I've found the commercial and posted it for your viewing pleasure.

All of the burger king commercials with the king in them. Makes me hesitant to turn into BK when I think of them.

There's this really corny commercial that has been banned due to profane words.
by Talimze on February 6th, 2008
I really hate them all, but the one I hate the most right now is the new Converse commercial....ya know, where it says "ME" and then the M slowly turns upsidedown to say "WE," while "One Love" plays in the background. It's so annoying, I just want it to stop.

Worst: HEAD ON, APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD!
Best: The commercial by MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) which features the first-person view of a driver as he drinks progressively more glasses, until he crashes. Quite simple, but effective.
by debyszoo on January 30th, 2007
The burger king commericials with the creepy peeping tom king and the 'big buckin chicken' and the 'we're all full of sit' commercials. I know thats more than one, but I hate those. Makes me think their food is probably gross too.
by Penny The Wise on January 30th, 2007
Imo, the "Head On" commercials are the worst. And the commercials where they parody themselves are even worse. Some of the people on the commercials are creepy, and listening to them repeat themselves makes me want to throw my TV out the window!

These always made me think of roadkill. Who wants to think of roadkill when they're eating a sandwich?
by raindancer on September 9th, 2008
This one is really bad if you are not watching the images. I get the song stuck in my head and it is the worst anti drug song ever.

That new commercial for Secret with that extremely annoying woman walking around with her arms up blabbing about how fresh she is! Every time I see that commercial, I want the cabbie to run her over!
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on May 7th, 2008
I think of what would embarrass my dad the most (he passed away in 1960)..I think the sexual dysfunction ads..the proliferation of them..something that is private and in my opinion should remain private and not romanticized..its just sales hacks huckerstering to sell ya something..it is not noble, does not advance peace on earth, does not promote understanding among people..just companies doing a sales job. It's tacky, trashy and undignified.
by Bitto on February 29th, 2008
Right after the Atkins diet became a fad, KFC tried to pass for "Health Food," I think that was the worst commercial ever!
BTW, some health organization complained and KFC took their ad off the air before anyone could say "clogged artery."
by Vimax Review on February 29th, 2008
It's got to be...
HEAD ON APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD!
I mean really though, it's genius. It's so awful it's genius. I love it in it's pure insanity!

All of them. Commercials are not a sensible way to fund television stations.

Pepto-Bismol. The one with the singing and giants that have nausea, heartburn, indegestion, an upset stomach, and diarrhea.
by Sweet T on January 19th, 2008
I hat the commercials, I think they are Geico, where they spotted Jed from the Beverely Hillbilles, or Fred Flinstone, DUMB.
I love the Bud light commercial they did a few years ago, during the Superbowl, of course, where the lady is up in her bedroon, in a nighty, trying to entice her husband to stop watching TV and come upstairs, when she says she has a bud light, he he goes flying up the stairs run into the bedroom, lands on the bed , well she has satin sheets on the bed and he ends sliding across their bed and flying out the window, LMAO.
by Sheriff Raff -Answerhag on January 19th, 2008
I think all car commercials are the worst. They show you things that you cannot or should not do with their cars. What fun is that?
The best commercial is for "Scoop Away" cat litter because I can see me climbing on the roof to get my cat and sliding off it.
by sm00z on January 19th, 2008
Worst: The ad that warns against internet piracy that shows up at the beginning of so many DVDs. I find it absolutely unnecessarily loud and annoying.
Best: Most of the Geico ads with the talking green lizard.
by Carrot and Stick on January 19th, 2008
Worst: The one for a swiffer mop, or duster, where the woman is talking to what you suppose is a man. She says that he just doesn't cut it, and she has to move on. Then it shows a duster in a chair.
BEST: The skittles commercial with the singing rabbit. "Ya ya ya ya ya ya yaaaaa"
by Voodoo on January 19th, 2008
Can't think of the worse one - a lot of bad adverts!
The best one has to be that one about anoroxia years back, with the girl looking in the mirror and seeing herself as fat, then the camera turns round and you see that the reflection wasn't real, it's what she thinks she sees. The girl is actually skin and bones. It really struck a chord.
by Simply99 -- Not a fan favorite. on January 19th, 2008
Those assasin moms in the Burger King ads. Nothing funny about that, and am so glad they pulled them.
Best still may be "10:30, Diet Coke break."
by Haha. on August 20th, 2007
Starburst berries and cream
by Balderdash aka PNB on April 27th, 2007
Those Countrywide Loan commericals that keep popping up several times an hour with the same pitchman but different phone numbers.
"So you're gonna end up with a lot more cash"
by angel_face on January 19th, 2008
There are too many "worst" ones to count, but as for the best, the one where there's these guys sitting around (watching nascar?) eating oreo's and they're making car noises like YUUUUMMMMMM!!! While they lick the oreo creme. I crack up every time! :)
by DA BEN DAN yanggui zi on February 4th, 2008
there was a political commercial in Canada years ago that was really defamatory toward Jean Chretien (it actually said things like 'would you like someone like this to represent your country?' 'isn't he an embarrassment to our society?)..It was obviously directed toward the way Chretien spoke only out of 1 side of his mouth. He had had polio as a child. The ad was extremely distasteful and was rapidly pulled...(and no the people who placed the ad didn't win the election)
by Prime wants the old AB back on February 4th, 2008
Yep, I'm not alone on the Burger King ones . . . though I love Whoppers.

How about the "BAM' man....who seems to YELL WHILE EXPLAINING ABOUT HOW GREAT "BAM" IS ON EVERYTHING!
(Umm, or is it oxyclean?)
Also, are those other commercials real?? I have never seen those! LOL! Those are terrible!

Any erectile dysfunction commercial. The guy can't throw the football through the tire. ...yatta, yatta, yatta.
by DRLAURAHATER on August 20th, 2007
All of the "Got Milk" commercials. Those have got to be the Stupidest commercials ever made.
by Starmaster on February 13th, 2007
The WB Network ads with the frog wearing a tuxedo and a top hat. That frog came from an old cartoon about a man who discovered a frog hidden inside the wall of a building that was being torn down. The frog turn out to be a great showman, sing and dance like crazy, but....as long as nobody else but that man was watching...the frog was no good for an audience. Isn't that the worst mascot for a TV Network, a performer that can't do anything right when an audience is watching?....What a bad idea!
by Penny The Wise on February 1st, 2007
Two words: Meow Mix.
(The one where they keep saying meow, over, and over, and over...)

The Alan Thicke timeshare resort commercial AND the Hanes womens underwear commercial where they are doing the tumbling exercises in their underwear.
Yeah, like my girlfriends and I really break out the tumbling mats and core stability training balls and do cartwheels in our underwear...yep...all the time.

Vivaaaaaaaaa Viagra! And all the other ED commercials. No, make that all the other drug commercials.
by ROSARIO_8 on January 31st, 2009
Boy, this is pretty hard....
Malaysian commercials don't make any sense,
while those TV Shopping programmes make it all to obvious,
Wendy's "Fresh Food Made Fast"~....I just don't get it!
But I'd go for the first one ; ).
by haggis on February 4th, 2008
any commercial where a musician or band (that i loved) "sold out" to have some corporation use their music. thats just sucking the devil's cock and it makes me sad.
by Sharona Life is a Tale Told by an Idiot on August 13th, 2009
Male enhancement. In fact any pill commercials are so out of hand these days I cannot beleive what they think they can force down people's throats. The great build up and then five minutes of side effects including cancer and death.
by miteb on September 9th, 2008
Do all those balloons hold the products of leaks? Or just the yellow ones....Hate that commercial. Some things, including ED, should be addressed in the drs office, not on tv.
by tamarakh is ready for a vacation on September 9th, 2008
I don't know about the worst ever, but Immodium's new tag line is pretty bad...."Immodium...Don't let diarrhea keep you occupied," said while showing an image of a bathroom door with an occupied sign...it's pretty sick!
What did commercials look like in 1982?

We had those commercials in San Diego and in Baltimore, so I think plenty of people will know what you are referring to. My husband loved them! I thought it was a bit unsavory for a food service business. I hope those things don't live in their restaurant walls!
by This Daley has a new bundle of joy on February 1st, 2007
OMG they scared the crap out of me :( They were all like "Eat Quiznos Subs because they are good and you like them" with that voice you mentioned. I was seriously creeped out by those little b***tar*s.
by princessemmabelle on February 1st, 2007

I loved that commercial. People talked about that so much, and it was the weirdest thing on television. It was based on some website where those little spongemonkeys sang a song about the moon.
by adguy1 on January 5th, 2008
AAAAAHHH! Those things gave me NIGHTMARES when they were aired in my area. *shuders*
by Miss Anubis loves this season on February 4th, 2008
For some reason these things always looked like roadkill to me, with the eyes popping out and stuff. Gross.
by Melissa on February 4th, 2008
It was scary as h3ll! My boyfriend always threatened to take me to Quizno's (never ate there) to see those things if I said anything to offend him.
by Miss Anubis loves this season on February 4th, 2008
