43115_Guy_TV-New_Post_10-20-2008_thumb.jpgTrying to relax yesterday to a Sunday afternoon of football, I discovered that the worst hits weren't on the field.  Every timeout, touchdown or turnover seemed to lead to a new commercial by Toyota touting their new zero percent APR program on their vehicles: "Saaaaaaaved byyyyyy zeeeeeeroooooo. Saaaaaaaved byyyyyy zeeeeeeroooooo." The ad features a cloying cover of an old song by The Fixx.

It got me thinking of other cringe-inducing ads. I polled a few associates and here is our short list for the most annoying commercials on the tube today:


Toyota, "Saved by Zero"
Reason: Bad cover of a decent, yet marginal song. Plays at least once during every FOX commercial break, sometimes even three times in case you missed it.
