The faux Simon and Garfunkel are really annoying. That ad makes me want to run screaming in the opposite direction of BK.
Anyone else having the same reaction?

eh, it's annoying, but it's not nearly as creepy as the Carl's Jr. voiceover guy, nor nearly as cool as the Urlacher Old Spice ad.

Most Annoying Ad Ever? "Saaaaaved by Zeeerrroooooo" I tell you what. That is on a very short list. Damn, I don't know how many times I heard that terrible song on that ad this past weekend. I don't recognize the "shroom and swiss" ad. Is that a local ad? (Why do I think that I am sorry I asked?)

Former - in complete agreement. Its funny that some beanbag out there in advertising though that was a catchy slogan...it it absolutely horrible.
As for runnning away from BK, you Sir are a terribly misguided youth. BK is the class of fast food...but i still to the original chicken sandwich which is absolutely delectable, so i would never get the shroom & swiss.
Lastly, for about 10 minutes the Five Dollar Footlong jingle was catchy, but now the extended FDF commercials are getting on my nerves.

As long as BK puts ketchup on Whoppers, I will not enter that vile establishment.

Now you're eliminating ketchup from hamburgers. To each his own I guess.

Most Annoying Ad Ever? "Saaaaaved by Zeeerrroooooo" Like I said, that is certainly on the very short list. But coming on strong of late are all the "freecreditreport.com" ads. I can't figure out which is more annoying though, the rap version or the bubble gum, "spelled out" version. Any thoughts? You know: "free -- credit --- reportdotcom" ... "you'll be a rock star" ... "free what?" ... "free -- credit --- reportdotcom ..." or " 'f' to the 'r' to the 'e' to the 'e', to the 'c' to the 'r' to the 'e,d,i,t' .... etc... YUCK!

I have developed a disturbing reaction to the Saved By Zero ad in that I find myself singing it over and over again every time I see it. My wife finds this especially annoying...

I would find that habit more disturbing than dipping and spitting on my living room floor. It is a race between my wife and I to grab the remote and change the channel every time that big red 0% flies on the screen.

I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE "Saved By Zero". So much so that I emailed Toyota customer service last night.
Their response? "We sincerely apologize if our "Saved by Zero" commercial has caused you such concern. It was certainly not our intention to do so."
I doubt it was your intention to make me change the channel and want to hurt someone every time I have heard it since the beginning of October.

Why is this in the pro and college sports forum? not saying i have a problem with that, but just looking for some rationale Because I was watching a lot of NFL and ESPN this weekend/Monday night and kept seeing that really annoying and stupid Shroom and Swiss ad. That may not make it the right place, but it is why I placed it here. Hope you don't mind.

I'm still waiting for someone to clarify this mysterious "swiss and shroom" ad ... although as I mentioned before, I'll likely be very sorry I asked.

CT, I don't know. I can't view videos here at work. If I remember, I will look at it at home tonight. In any case, I didn't know we were talking about an internet ad. I presumed it was a mainstream TV ad, similar to the annoying Toyota Saved by Zero or musical freecreditreport.com ads.

You're right, it is a TV ad. However, with the amount of time you seem to spend on the internet, the thought of searching for it online must have occurred to you.
