Those TripAdvisor commercials with the split screen - it makes me *bonkers* that the people talk over each other!!! So annoying! And since I'm watching the Tour de France, I get to see them over and over and over.... Grrrrrrrr Ok - I feel better now  Amy |

Ha! I haven't seen that one yet that I know of. My DH has been watching the Tour but I have not.
My current hate (well actually, it's been my "hate" for several months) is the Trivago commercials. The "trivago guy" skeeves me of -and not much skeeves me out. LOL
He's so creepy that I can't change the channel fast enough. Yes - he's that bad.

Thank goodness I haven't seen it recently (but haven't been watching live TV much right now so the show I tape I just FF thru the commercials) but I cannot stand that iPhone commercial where the kids are singing "Gigantic" (the Pixie's song).

Haven't seen those, but the one that sleeves me out is the Dish Network (or Direct TV) wireless ads with the freaky marionettes. I actually found the one with the son whirling around from the ceiling fan like a demented flying monkey humorous, but the one with the wife in the negligee trying to entice her husband . . . . ICK!

Ugh, the marionettes- they get attention! The one with the wife is just distasteful.
I thought I was only one bugged by Trivago Guy. I've actually tried to figure him out. Is he thin and disheveled to appeal to 20 somethings and college Travellers? But grey and wrinkled for us mid life types? I'm as intrigued by the company's decision as I'm skeeved. I googled him, and we're not alone in our dislike.

I really don't get the "framily" phone commercials. Why is the dad a hamster?
My daughter loves them because her name is Heidi and looks just like the Heidi on those commercials.

OMGosh- I thought it was just me too!
He looks like a composite of several people. You know how they try to come up with the 'perfect person' sometimes, Angelina's mouth, so-and-so's eyes, etc.? But the result always looks off? That's what he reminds me of.
Beyond that- he's disheveled. He kind of stands like a duck. His speech patterns are weird- sometimes he over enunciates a consonant, like 'L'. I can't look away even though it drives me nuts. I keep trying to pinpoint what's going wrong there.

Trivago guy desperately needs a belt.
I HATE the potato thins commercial where the guy plays ping pong, undoes a girls bra with his feet etc because his hands are too busy eating the potato thins. Skeeeeeeves me out |

UGH. "Our trip to New York was amazing/pile of crap!" Of course, I'm paraphrasing. But yeah, I've seen two of those and I hate them too. Mostly because I think the people who had a bad time should have helped themselves and dealt with life.

Haha. I don't hate Trivago guy, but I am puzzled as to why he looks like THE DAY AFTER he used his motel room. He looks like he just rolled out of bed and has a raging hangover. He's sweaty and rumpled and needs a shave. Even weirder is the newer Trivago commercial that's supposed to look like a blooper reel, where they beep out his cursing and stuff. So far I've only seen that one during shows aimed at young men, like Tosh.0. I guess it's supposed to be cool.
In any case, I'll take those any day over every annoying MOM commercial out there. The ones with whistling, or banjos plucking away, while mom focuses on saving money and keeping germs off her kids and feeding her family, etc etc...I loathe and despise those commercials.
