I don't know how often anyone else gets to see the ProActiv commercials but it seems like every tv program there is has it as a sponsor here in MA. At this point even if I wanted to buy the stuff I wouldn't because I'm so sick of hearing the name watching the same commercial a couple of times during a half hour and even in between programs. Of course there are other commercials I'm not fond of but this one has me hating it!
Are there commercials that make you cringe every time they come on? Do you get to see the ProActiv commercials too?

I love the Free Credit Report song! It makes my laugh. I cannot stand the Head On commercials and I cannot stand any commerical with the alarm clock blaring or the car dealerships. Those 2 commericals always seem to get louder and louder each time they are played and it makes me want to turn off the TV. I also hate seeing the same commercial over and over- I agree with you totally!

I have noticed that some commercials do get louder than the program I'm watching and that is ridiculous isn't it?

I dislike any and all of those Viagra and the like commercials as well as the herpy ones. I miss the GICO lizard though. I don't care for most of the other car insurance commercials. I usually don't pay mush attention to most of them

There is one that I can't stand seeing over and over again, and that's the stupid grin of Smiling Bob from Enzyte, natural male enhancement pills.
"With a commercial this annoying, it's enough to press the MUTE button!"
Also the fact that the Christmas edition's still running even after Santa's gone back to the North Pole!

You are absouletly right! I hate that ProActive commercial too. Here in VA, I notice it is aired especially late night or early morning on multiple channels.

There's this commercial for something called freecredit.com that keeps playing on TV. There are a couple of them. I don't know if it's an Arizona thing, or a nation wide thing. The jingles are very well done in that they took a lot of thought and time to compose, but they are annoying, in that they get stuck in people's heads. I guess that's what they're supposed to do, but they're still annoying as heck.

I have seen the ProActiv commercial, but I don't watch that much television so I couldn't tell you how much it is on.
I have heard it on the radio lately and they are gearing it toward teens and the girl who does it can barely talk. Her grammar is horrible. I know she is just reading copy - it is ridiculous how they wrote it. Don't get me started on this subject. LOL
The commercial I can't stand, which thankfully it has been shelved (I think) since Christmas and Valentine's is over is the the Kay Jeweler one. Every kiss begins with K. I can't stand it. I do cringe every time I hear it.

Oh my gosh, yes, those ProActiv commercials are EVERYWHERE and I'm sick of them.
The other one is the Tempur-Pedic bed. You know the OriginalBed by Tempur-Pedic, the therapeutic Swedish foam mattress, provides the best therapeutic support in your bed. And blah, blah, blah. I can't stand their soft talking commercials which is a way of psyching you out, plus there so darn long....ugh!...Can't stand them!

I don't watch to much these days but the one that really disgusted me was Hanes Her Way - when they had the young ladies all in their skimpy bra and panties doing all kinds of things and stretching each and every limb in every direction imaginable. It was on all the time and Ijust tired of seeing near naked women all the time even while watching Blue's Clue's with my grand daughter!

There were two commercials that used to bug me, but they are no longer on TV, or at least I haven't seen them lately. One was Subway, when the guy always yells at the end of the commercial, Eat Fresh. The other was the commercial Hands in your pocket, the one for Capital One credit card. But most of the commercials, I think, are cute.
I live in Winnipeg, and the phone company here is MTS and all there commercials have a buffalo in them and the buffalos talk. They are always so cute. And the commercials are always so cute.

I am sick and tired of all those bladder control commercials I pretty don't much like any of the pharmecudical company commercials pushing their side effect poisons on the populace (a lot of the side effects are worse than the alleged fix) But I especially do not like the bladder control ones and the depression ones. It is like pop a pill and your gonna feel alright. NOT and then 3-10 years later geez you find out it might kill you or did kill some or damaged their liver, kidney or heart. NO thanks I am NOT asking my doctors for poisons.
The other one I totally hate is the Verizon Mobile Network commercials tried thier phones and guess what "NO I CANNOT HEAR YOU NOW!" Not where I live which their commercials sell that they can and do go anywhere but they don't.

I used to just see the ProActiv late at night when other infomercial were on. Now they have invaded our every day commercial watching! It IS getting old. I'm pretty sick of seeing the Cialis commercial. The guy and girl in the tub on a mountain, overlooking the city... 'When the time is right'....Ugh! Please, no more!

Yea, there is one commercial that ive become very tired of, its the commercials from one of the leading retail companies in sweden, Ica. Its not that the commercials are boring, they have the standing guiness record for most commercials clips made.
The Boring thing is that theyve had them for so long, so its gotten boring.
