Can someone kill this commercial???

[monkey neck]

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the annoying commercial discussion.

I have heard this commercial playing on my TV, because usually I'm out of the room during the commercial break, but today I finally saw what it was advertising. It's that Dove soap ad with the ANNOYING piano. No voice, just annoying piano guy playing his annoying piano notes. And it's an ad for soap. I never would've thought when listening to this ad that it's for soap. A car ad, maybe. But soap. OK I'll stop now. Any thoughts?

I'm sorry, I can't help you here since I watch very little tv. But I'm glad you brought this up since there is a series of commercials that I have seen that have been driving me crazy.

In one...there is a woman who steps into a shower to find a chicken (turkey?) spinning just under the showerhead....the woman screams.

The other....the same woman is in bed and begins to scream when she find a piece of chocolate cake under her covers.

Both commercials end with a brief flash to a case of beer in the fridge...I don't know what kind of beer, I never get the name of it. I think because I am still shaken from the screams and trying to figure it out.

Help me! These adds are so surreal, I'm freaked out by them!!

(perhaps this belongs on the "wtf" thread)

OK- this is a bit of a stretch, but maybe the piano soap connection is that perhaps you should have clean hands if you're gonna be playing piano, and that perhaps dove keeps your hands clean and soft for the piano... like Curley in Of Mice and Men who wore one glove filled with vaseline to keep a hand soft for his wife. Maybe it's like that.

My personal commercial demon: those goddamned rainbow goldfish crackers. URGH!!!

It's for the new Amstel Light 12-packs. 'Cause apparently 2 6-packs didn't work very well or something. Anywho, the chicken and the cake were invading the beer's space, so they had to be moved to accomodate said beer. Terrible commercial.

I HATE the stupid...um....I dunno what it's called....it's the light food being hawked by a woman singing some Macarena thing whilst wearing clothing WAAAAAAY the hell too tight for her.

thanks for the explanation on that...and yes...it's still a dumb campaign.

IPFS, I am with you on the Michellena's commercial...gawd she's annoying.

The only ones that are worse and the Moore's fitness ads...if I have to see that old guy in a muscle shrt again, i'll scream...

I don't watch a lot of telly either, but there is an ad that freaks me out when I see it. I think it is for some sort of snack cracker. It has a dude made out of the snack bits walking along over a road that is paved with what looks like shredded wheat. Rave-type music is playing in the background. Everytime I see this commercial I think I am having an acid-flashback.

that's the new chex mix commercial...it's a little frightening...
