Is there anything more annoying that the Chris / Cliff Paul ads?

[STEVEHOLT]

First off, its not clever. Its just stupid. Its not funny.

Its played incessantly.

That annoying background music...I hear it in my sleep.

Historical inaccuracy. That one version where the kids ask who invented the assist...and there is the "footage" of the Paul's ancestors playing in a mixed basketball game. never would have happened. not in the south especially, which is where he is from.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Awful, annoying ad campaign. This one's running a close second.

 

[oldpinepoint]

Yes it's called any progressive insurance ad with Flo.

Not much, but I submit Stephen A. Smith.

 

[Lawrinson14]

If they were separated at birth, how is "Paul" both their last names?

 

[dollarbill44]

Lots of things. Eyeball paper-cuts jump to the front of the line.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Those Grant Hill ones with the cell phone chick are annoying as well.

 

[realorange]

Not much, but I submit Stephen A. Smith.

And his partner in sports misery, Bayless.

 

[Lawrinson14]

If we really want to talk annoying, how bout those stupid commercials with the people who have never used the internet before.

"Gia, you're so big!"

You know what? After seeing this commercial upwards of 1000 times...Fu** Gia.

 

[longislandcuse]

It all started with a whisper...

It all started with a whisper...

You know what's a bummer? That band's actually pretty good.

 

[jimsonjunction]

You know what's a bummer? That band's actually pretty good.

The danger of selling out...

[j/k]

 

[sufandu]

And his partner in sports misery, Bayless.

So true. Gun to my head, I'd take Bayless over Stephen A., but I'd rather hold a gun to their heads until they turned in their resignations.

 

[Madbiker]

The AT&T commercials with Lily Adams are even worse. You can't watch a sporting event without seeing one every time out. The one with Grant Hill is especially bad...so is the one where everyone has to whisper.

 

[CusefanATL]

starting the season 25-0 and ending it 3-6 is up there too.

Too soon.

I have a crush on Lily Adams and I'm not afraid to admit it.

 

[SBU72]

Most annoying ads were for the Masters during the NCAA tourney. Every year its the same thing, hour after hour and I can't stand them.

:blah:

 

[Nicknack]

I don't know, those Mentos commercials were about as bad as they get. Remember this one...

 

[cuseincincy]

Well...since you asked:

 

[Eric15]

Those Grant Hill ones with the cell phone chick are annoying as well.

OMG I couldn't possibly agree more. I loved Grant Hill as a player and he seems like a class act to the core, but he is literally the world's most boring human being. That commercial during that NCAA tourney where he was showing his old Duke footage to Steve Smith made me want to gouge my eyes out.

Agreed. Commercials don't have enough racism.

Anyway, the answer is the Hopper commercials that ran relentlessly in March.

Hey boss. I love working!

 

[HoustonCuse]

DVR guys. I saw all of about 4 minutes of commercials during our "Espn season". You do have to have a strict no phone policy to pull it off though.

 

[Cuse_1999]

The Time Warner commercial with Bill Cowher and the Asian girl about to get married is played relentlessly in TW markets and is awful
