Speaking of radio ones, I have quite a few thanks to XM...though it's not so much the products as annoyances at the people who do them.
1. The inventor of Power Swabs, that clean your teeth...or, thanks to the way he pronounces it with his Tony Robbins-esque voice, "Pahr Schwabsh."
2. Code Seven. "Look down...SHOCKING!" This is just a series of commercials I flat out hate, but what I find amusing is that while we all know what they're talking about, they never say what the product actually does. I like to think it's actually a pill that gives you superpowers and they just don't want to admit it.
3. Something about discount Viagra. Sorry to bring up a pill one again, but the guy who does the ad is clearly Canadian, and says, "Dole-lars" over and over again. "Get this many pills for just ninety-nine dole-lars!" It was cute the first time, but now I just want to grab the radio and say, "It's DOLL! Not DOLE! SAY IT RIGHT!"
4. Some investment pyramid scheme that also never gets discussed in detail over the air. The worst part is a woman who comes on and says in the most valley accent I've ever heard, "I'm NOT rr-ICH...but I in-VEST-ed a hundred dollars, and it WORKED!" I almost wish she would say "Dole-lars," at least it would make her sound like a human being.
And I agree with the blip.tv ads. The problem I have with them is that I end up watching these ads 10-15 times, all because I enjoy replays of Spoony, Nostalgia Critic, and almost everything Brad Jones does. And now they stick the fricking things in the middle of longer shows, too, as if they're not getting ENOUGH advertising sticking the damn unskippable things at the beginning and ends of the videos. They've probably earn about $5,000 from me alone in one week, the creeps, and they have to interrupt my shows to boot?
