Who's most annoying?

Old Navy, the others don't even come close. I keep a toy gun next to me whenever I watch TV so I can pretend to shoot them when they come on.

The Old Navy singers are at least an order of magnitude more annoying than the other two. The only thing they have going for them is that I only have to endure them for two months a year, then the Old Navy ad department, in league with Satan himself think up of an even more annoying ad for next Christmas.

Out of that list the Old Navy singers are the only ones I could kill without remorse.

By FAR the Old Navy singers. Every commercial for Old Navy, GAP, and Target sees me cringing in fear, right before I zip through it with my beautiful, beautiful PVR.

Jared is smug, idiotic, and annoying. Same with the Verizon guy, except on top of that, he has a highly dislikeable catchphrase.

The Old Navy group has all of that, PLUS greater numbers, PLUS annoying 'songs' (for lack of a better word), PLUS the most hideous pastel crap I've ever seen, PLUS that bucktoothed little twerp of a boy that has a face you just want to smash with a brick, PLUS that nasty, redhead, thirteen year old who CANNOT FUCKING SING A SINGLE GODDAMNED NOTE YET THEY STILL GIVE HER A LINE OF MUSIC IN EVERY FUCKING COMMERCIAL!

So, long story short, Old Navy wins.

Bah, I keep an old Nintendo Zapper handy for that. The peculiar springy click it makes is so satisfying!

I was gonna go with the Verizon guy. Mainly because I was still annoyed at him and I hadn't really seen any of the horrible Old Navy singers commercials. Then I saw the one where they are at the bowling alley... Ugh.

Master of Ossus · Post by **Master of Ossus** » 2004-12-11 03:01am

Jared doesn't even really approach the Verizon guy, much less the Old Navy crew. He brought a knife to a gunfight.

Personally I would go for Smiling Bob or the Woman who sells a different version of the same meds...

something about commercials that are just like the spam in my mail box, get more annoying.

of those mentioned, the old navy bastards

My hatred of Old Navy commericals has grown to dizzing heights since the non-rhymic singing began... And folks, I was brought up in a deaf house hold, my real knowledge of how music is suppose to work could fit in a thimble with comfort.

I can only imagation how much musically inclined folks like Maya and Rogue 9 hate them.

The funniest part is that I can't even recollect seeing one of the ghastly song commercials everyone is referencing. My hatred of Old Navy stems from the creepy old lady with the big glasses and the washed-up celebrity of the week commercials they used to do.

Mind you, I only watch TV when football is on, so I see very few commercials.

I miss the Old Navy miniskirt ads from before 9/11. Those are commercials I truly appreciated.

The thing is, I haven't watched much TV aside from the Daily Show and sports in about a year, so I have managed to avoid those Old Navy commercials. Undoubtably if I saw them I would want to change my vote.

HOWEVER, I have seen stupid commercials for Verizon DURING FOOTBALL GAMES. Somebody let that bastard onto our football field to advertise! Do you realize how much that pisses me off to see those stupid commercials on the jumbotron during the game?

I don't actually remember much of Jared, other than that he lost alot of weight eating at Subway. He didn't seem annoying to me. I thought he was a tiny bit likeable.
Besides, Subway can make a good cheap meal when I'm in a pinch and Tim's Souvlaki is closed.

The Verizon guy got on my nerves with his annoying catchphrase, cadence, anjd most of the things about him. Still, his commercials were tolerable, mostly, and a couple were actually enjoyable.

I want to take a brick and smash the legs of the Old Navy singers. I want to take a spoon and remove their eyes. I want to take a shovel and smash in their heads, goddamnit. I want to make them suffer like I suffered watching their shitty commercials.

Winner: The Old Navy Christmas Singers.

Nothing can or should beat the old navy people. THey are just creepily cheerful. I swear that when they start shooting those ads they must put a fresh shot of botox and a nice dose of prozac in every single one of them.

Old Navy screechers...hands down. Way, way too perky, off key, and there are so many versions...Yuck!

Jared and the Verizon guy don't even make a flicker on the Annoyance graph when Old Navy's on the scene. Jared's just some normal schmuck who lost a few hundred pounds, and the Verizon guy, while having a schtick that gets fairly repetative, seems decently brief and occasionally does a new thing once in a while.

Old Navy, however, is a blight whose hatred I hold for ranks second only to reality television. Their works sink to the lowest levels of intelligence, artistic capability, and common sense, employing the most cheesy and campy of scenarios and dialogue in order to sell over-priced items that shouldn't be worth a damn cent more than anything else I can buy at any other store, and who employ wooden, brainless, and generally smug/over-reactive actorsthat only serve as magnets for my undying hatred. Multiply that against my general hatred for social and corporate dictation on what is considered fashionable, and it's a miracle I don't hurl the remote every time one of their bedamned commercials comes up.

Probably the worst one of all time I can remember was an ad they ran during the summer about two or three years back that was set on the surface of the fucking sun. You've got people in summer clothes playing volleyball amidst badly-animated flames, guys in space suits working grills, that smug Alex Trebeck look-alike with the fifty-gallon tub of sunblock, and that even more smug old bitch and her fucking dog. I swear, I wanted to throttle each and every one of the assholes from that commercial when it came on.

The Old Navy assholes. Every time I see that commercial, I think about how funny it would be if the guy opening the closet doors gunned them down.

tell smaegal/gullum that one of them has "Precious"

Honestly? I don't find any of those commercials annoying.

The Silence and I · Post by **The Silence and I** » 2004-12-13 05:45pm

WHERE is the SMILING BOB option? I HATE that commercial with a passion no other has ever matched--perhaps because Spike TV plays it about TWICE every break, and as there are four hours of Startrek every weekday... of which I catch about two to three often, I can safely say I wait for the day it falls of the planet!!!

The Old Navy singers do have one thing going the others don't: several of them are smoking hot. Mute the TV and remember to take your hand off your dick when the little kid gets his line.
