Anybody who has watched the coverage of The Open Championship and now the PGA Championship on their computer knows what i'm talking about.

I've probably now seen/heard the commercial over 1,000 times (no lie).

Anyway, it's the one where that family is at the art museum and the little girl goes and turn the painting sideways and that guy plays it off with some horrible British accent, etc. etc. I don't get it, i don't care, i hate the music, i hate the accent, and now (for no good reason) i hate RBS.

I HATE that commercial!!! Words really cannot express.

If that is your least favorite commercial ever, you must have never seen any of "The Villages" commercials.

no literally, EVER.

i've seen The Villages and i would much rather hear that song on repeat for 3 straight days than see this commercial as often as they show it on the internet broadcast.

Agreed. What the hell is even the point of it?

All of the Golf Warehouse commercials have to be right up there, the idiot in the golf cart, seriously is that supposed to be funny?

I dont know about the rest of you but I can't stand the Zach Johnson commercial that airs 257,139 times a day on the golf channel. Its so annoying they could be giving free stuff away and I wouldnt take it

And for those of you who live where they have a Shane Co. jewlers I can do without hearing Tom Shane ever speak again, I though I got away from it when I left the bay area now he is in Phoenix russian_roulette.gif

I personally find the Nike commerical with Choi, Immelman and Kim annoying. It remind me of a slot machine and its an instant channel change every time it comes on.

The Cillit Bang comercials are blood curdling. It's a series of crap adverts, with a horrendously dubbed rent--a-presenter with the unlikely monicker 'Barry Scott' shouting at you about how great some brand of toilet/kitchen cleaner is. UK members will know what I'm on about, but just in case...

Click here to enter purgatory

Even Job would be tempted to do a Keith Moon after watching this tosh a few times.

Another vote for this one! Very un-Lexus like.
matt062286
lol mat heres the American equivalent of Barry Scott, sells a bunch of crap thats practically useless

Kaboom!
mat562
Hmm...

Suspiciously similar in both name and advertising style.

Probably the same parent company. And Greg Norman's probably the CEO.

I also hate that Lexus commercial.

The last year's Burger King commercial with the King and his creepy big dome towering over some poor guy in bed. Any of those other freaked dome commercials as well.
midasmulligan2000
Yeah ... I was thinking this exact thing the other day. What happened to the really great golf commercials that were being made a year or two ago? ("Clean up on isle five!" ... or the opera next to the green ... wink.gif ).

A few -

"Hey Eric, Justin Rose is coming back again to demo the new Tour Burner

That annoying Zach Johnson crap. Makes him look really smug.

My personal hate -
The new American Express commercials. Low class attempt at trying to distance themselves as a 'premier' credit card IMHO.

it sucks because my gamer is a hyper x driver

but johnny miller's hyper x commercial for dicks is the worst

"wow you hit that over 300 yards on your first swing!"

Pardon me sir but that "was like 325!" heck, JM didn't hit it 325 downhill with a 25mph wind behind him!

I HATE the ones with Zach Johnson, even though I like the guy. They just over play it so much that I was sick of it after the first day they started playing it.

The G10 commercials are AWESOME though!!

It's funny how little I mind most commercials (except when they're right in the middle of a major championship. Gotta love The Masters for cutting down on commercials!).

I actually kinda like the Zach Johnson commercial, even though he does look smug, just because of that "little chip shot off the green.. he's got it.. he's got it!!" Every time I watch that chip I figure there's no way it's going to go in, but it always does.... magic!

The Lexus ads were annoying during the US Open... I was really glad they were over with.... NOT! Why are they still playing those ads!? The US Open has been finished for a couple of months!

I like the funny commercials like the Cobra commercials with Feherty, the Top Flite Gamer commercials, the Ping G10 commercials, and yes, especially the TGW ads. They crack me up.

All the rest of my family changes the channel or mutes the TV when commercials come on... For whatever reason I have a pretty high tolerance. I'm not usually sold on anything they're selling, though.

No, no, no, you have to stick your head out the windows and then yell "IT'S MY MONEY AND I NEED IT NOW".

How about the Zurich commercials where they all yell "FORE" and the fish hits the guy in the head and goes in the hole....WHAT!?!?!?

That one gets my vote....I'm not sure why, but it just has a Willy Wonka/Mary Poppins creepiness about it.

any Cilais or Viagra spot. I am tired of the creepy guy who pulls up in the car to meet his wife and then because he buys Vivaaaa Vivaaa Vigraaaaaaaaa, he gets a motorcycle (looking like a total perv as he hands her the helmet, non the less) and they ride off into the sunset; so now he is going to get some?

Oh, If I hear, for bb.gif lasting over four hours please see you doctor one more time I will scream! Hell, if you have one lasting that long and aren't putting it to use, maybe you should have your man card pulled!
meroj
I am torn between the guys sitting around singing VIVA VIAGRA!!! and any commercial with Gary Player. Either way, they are just celebrating a couple of stiffs.
1big_whipper
I'm just glad the Slazenger Raw ads have slowed down. Those were terrible. Viva Viagra is awful too. Dick's ads are all bad. They make me shop elsewhere! They should combine Johnny Miller, some Slazenger Raw balls, his Hyper X that he hits 320, and a half dozen Viagra pills accompanied by that crap ED infested band. Then we could get all those ads out of the way together in one nightmarish 30 second sitting. jester.gif

yeah, this is about me having to watch the broadcast on the computer. nothing you can do about commercials.

however, even if you have TIVO (which i'm pretty sure you're not the only one)...you still can't fast forward live TV if you like to watch your golf as it really happens (as i do).
srsbeans
how about the lexus commercials with annika and CH III.. those have to be in the mix
InTheHole
The thing that gets me about all of these bad commercials is that some marketing "genious" actually pitched them to someone and they all sat around a board room table going, "Yeah, great! That's fantastic! We'll sell plenty more of our product with THAT commercial."

The Viagra and ED commercials annoy me because they're on 24 x 7. My kid watches golf with me (for as long as his attention span is) and no, I don't feel like explaining it to him yet. Sometimes it's not the product itself, it is the explanation of the side effects that is the worst part. Who the hell decided that they get to dump all this stuff on us anyway.

The Slazenger ad was the worst put together ad- it was all slapped together by an amateur video team.

The Lexus ad with Annika driving the blue sports car makes NO sense. They want to you view the whole thing on a web site- right. No click here!

The new Viagra ad where the guy puts on his powder blue tux from 30 years ago... that's my current most annoying.
InTheHole
.... and one more really bad one is the Winn Grips commercial with Butch Harmon, John Daly, and Natalie Gulbis... c'mon already! Two of the three people in the commercial don't even like each other any more!

Maybe, but the real question is how/why she is involved with a simian creature like that guy. All he needs is a bunch of bananas to complete the gorilla-like look he's sporting.

I'm sorry to say that I visited the web site and watched the whole thing. It makes no more sense than the TV ad does.

I have heard that Zach is supposed to be a nice guy, but that commercial makes him look like such a pompous putz that I don't even like seeing him on course coverage now.

Next least favorite has to be any of those "wacky wiener weed" commercials that have the line "so I don't respond to X until WE'RE ready..."
everlast08
the new ads for ping are hilarious....

my vote for the worst would be the taylor made commercial where sergio is telling me to "rethink my ball"......... go to hell sergio!!!!!!
