Anything with Fucillio.. Or however it's spelled. Local car dealership fools. At the end of every commercial the guy yells out HUGE!!!! Grr... annoying.

Billy Fuccillo's home is here in Syracuse, his flagship "auto mall" dealership is an hour north of here, and he has another Hyundai shop here in town. He's not only spewing HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE on TV, but he's all over billboards and busses as well.

When I was in college out in Rochester the most annoying were for this ambulance-chasing crackpot lawyer named Jim "THE HAMMER" Shapiro. I'm sure someone's got his things mpegged & archived somewhere...

I can vouch for this. Shagman is the stupidest character ever. Also I forgot about Dealin' Doug's commercials. I think they got rid of the extra cheesy music after Lithia bought them out, but they still are stupid.

Reviving dead threads is fun.

A new commercial has sprung up around here lately for At the Beach Tanning Centers. I don't know if they are a regional or national company but they seem to be new around here. The commercial is a cartoon, but the voiceover is done by someone who sounds like a female Arnold Schwarzenegger. So annoying, especially the tag line "at the beach, get your tan on."

And Rocky's Autos commercials have done from being bad to just plain weird, like they are trying to make a political statement but aren't connecting.

he's right, but the worst out here are the local sports commercials which lead you to believe if you dont know the lastest on every high school, college, semi pro, wrestling, boxing and hockey team. You will, In fact, be arrested and your mother will hate you.....
