    During a one hour period of watching Family Guy on tbs I saw the geico pig ad twice, an esurance ad, a Farmer's ad, and a Progressive ad. Really? Enough already. I get it. Each of you can save me a bundle...

        I don't even watch that much TV, but I've been subjected to these ads at least twice a day for weeks. I cringe every time I hear it, and can't get to the mute fast enuff.. it's an assault to my senses.

        Am I too sensitive?
        I thought it was just me. Yeah, it's getting a little annoying. It's either squealing pig from Geico or annoying wench Flo from Progressive.

        I think Flo should eat the pig.

          Would that be considered canibalism?

            I'm guessing the insurance biz is fighting like crazy to keep their existing customers while trying to grow. I have seen numerous State Farm, Allstate, Geico, Progressive, along with some discount insurers. I learned my mistake the hard way of switching insurance companies. Have had an excellent driving record, changed companies due to a lower price, got into a minor fender bender that was my fault (about $500 of damage), had no previous accidents and the insurance company dumps me. I went back to my old company and have stayed with them since.

The most annoying is the tailgate party. I don't know who wrote the commercial but men don't act that way. Someone would have punched the guy in the face and told him "that was real time!"
              Exactly that one. I was just thinking the other day how that one annoyed me. Part of it is because they repeat it again and again and again and I know exactly what everyone's going to say. Also anytime people are so plugged into their electronic devices they don't even act like humans anymore, especially when they look down on peeps who aren't, it bugs me a bit.

              Other commercials that annoy me (apparently I'm curmudgeonly), are the Twix commercials with all the damn snapping. SHUT UP! The Carl's Junior with the disgusting eating sounds. gross. The Febreze where everybody's sniffing. ick. And recently (although I'm sure it'll be short lived) the one with multiple cuts of people loudly screaming for some sales junk. Shut up already, I'm trying to be peaceable in my own home.

                The new Sonic the Hedgehog Progressive ad is more annoying than the Geico pig. At least,I think it is.

                  I see they just made another commercial with the pig

                  I don't understand how anyone would think these are other than annoying

                    ^The street luge one? Yeah,I saw that one earlier. The ads that really annoy me are the e*trade ones with the babies.
