There are so many to dislike it is hard to choose. Flo is tiresome. Victoria Secret - I don't know how they get away with showing, IMO, soft porn.
The one I dislike most is any commercial for Beneful dog food as that stuff is garbage and it really irritates me that they advertise it like it is the best thing you could ever give your dog.
I like the one with the baby substituting for a car. I'm not 'into' babies, but that baby is really cute. I think they aren't as good this year but Target used to have some really great ads. I like the pig ... he is really funny.
Oh, maybe my favorite is the insurance one with the burglers in the house and the Ninja-like girl sneaking behind them and replacing everything they steal. I think that is an inspired commercial.

I loved the Jingle Bell Boxer Commercial! The Swiffer ads featuring the Kaufmann's drive me nuts though. And Flo, who I once thought was so cute, has worn out her welcome! Different strokes for different folks!

If you watch the MTV channel or VH1 during prime time, the commercials we are complaining about are super tame compared to those. If you have teens better pay attention what they are being bombarded with as acceptable in society.

I agree. I could hardly believe what I was seeing, so I had to watch it again. And again. And again. And again... I wish I could download it so I could critique it properly late at night when no one is around to interrupt me. 
Really, people, it's just meant to be tongue in cheek (oops, there I go, pardon the pun), and I find it less offensive than the ones that imply you are only thoughtful if you go out and buy a car for someone, or the Wally World ads for a store that doesn't pay its employees enough to be able to go out and buy a Thanksgiving turkey, let alone Christmas gifts.

MTV is tame to what's on Spike/Cartoon Network. And that can be pretty tame vs what's on some European television to some degree, but it's far worse in other degrees.
Agree fully on about any of the pet food ads! Ugh, may as well feed your pets cardboard boxes.

I'm thinking this is back to the boxer ad. It's K-mart's Joe Boxer ad. K-mart has the run of "naughty" ads apparently this year, I've only seen them on YouTube and I find them funny. But I don't have a K-mart in the area, so I haven't seen the ads on television.

There are a few I have to mute also. However, on the brighter side - I LOVE the AT&T commercials that have the starchy, guy in a suit sitting at a LITTLE table (with knees in his chest) asking 4 little ones a question - and what they come up with just has to make you smile!!!!

I don't watch many. my TV is on mostly for noise. I watch very tame shows.
I do love the M&M commercial with Santa, I do watch that one and love it, I smile everytime I see it. I also like the Kisses ringing commercial. My two all time favorites. I have had other favorites, seems they don;t run them long. The obnoxious ones seem to run forever. I would not buy anything from those companies running them.
