I've never smoked a single cigarette in my life, but I hate the anti-smoking commercial where the guy has to yank his tooth out with a pair of pliers so he can buy a pack of cigarettes.
I thought the previous one with the girl ripping the skin off her face was bad, but this one is even worse.

Who holds the wires? How high do they go up? Do they stretch through ceilings and roofs and sky and satellites and comets? How many wire people are there? Is the wife named Mary Annette?

They do not stretch through ceiling fans
We'll be back right after order has been restored here in the Omni Center.
That the universe was formed by a fortuitous concourse of atoms, I will no more believe than that the accidental jumbling of the alphabet would fall into a most ingenious treatise of philosophy - Swift

They keep begging the dad to take down the ceiling fans, but he says "It's roasting in here. You don't have sweat glands, you don't know. YOU DON'T KNOW!" And the wired people pat him on the shoulder with something akin to pity for his imperfect circulatory system and sensitive nerve endings, and as soon as they leave the room, he changes emotions and un-mutes the football game, whispering "works every time."

Speed TV here in Canada has the same commercials in rotation and they DRIVE ME INSANE. The two that really bother me most are:
1: Some show about judging one's ride, with four people: some redneck guy with a ZZ Top beard that hits on some girl, some Latino guy posing with a lowrider with large rims, and whatever else.
2: American Trucker - in the advert, host sounds like he's having a huge orgasm when he sees eighteen wheeler trucks.
The very first time I thought it was a decent way to advertise for Wendy's. Not so much anymore. She is pretty unlikeable. I don't think Wendy's sees it that way, though.
The Subaru radio ad where the guy talks about how rough his "6 mile commute - round trip" can be. I have a 2hr hour commute EACH WAY and as a Subaru owner, I am deeply offended to be represented by this pompous twit and it makes me want to sell my car.
It's been several months since I last saw it but the Burger King commercial for their nuggets that has the geeky teenager screaming "Waaahhh!" still haunt my nightmares. I hope his high school classmates gave him the worst wedgie possible for acting that stupid.
