There is one running here about some disease they are promoting (no doubt to sell their new medicine.) Something about a non-functioning pancreas or something. It goes on and on about "oily smelly stools, etc" and "Its OK, Ask your doctor, he's heard it all before."

Also goes in the Exported TV shows thread... but this triggered the thought.

There's a British TV show my mom liked... You Are What You Eat.  Gillian McKeith liked to examine stool samples as part of the show....  It cost her a pretty penny to get her book off of Ebay back in the day...

Funniest one was "It looks like you could use this to hang wallpaper..." The guy's response... "Well, I suppose it has more than one use, then..."

that reminds me of how different countries/cultures have different toilets. My personal favorite, because it seemed so odd to me, was the Dutch (and some extent German) style. Basically you crap on a shelf, not into water. Then when you flush the water comes down and washes the shelf (and your crap) into the hole in front of toilet. The idea, apparently, is so you can inspect your waste and ensure you have good health, digestion, and so on. But somewhat disconcerting if you've eaten a lot or have any "issues" because of the splash factor and the shelf is fairly high up in the toilet.

You can search for "Dutch toilet" and get some interesting youtubes.

I loathe the comercial saying, "For your discount just type XXXX slash George,,, that's XXXX slash George"  I find I actually want to whip out a sword and slash him... snick snick snick!!!

The General

If I should happen to encounter these individuals behind the 1-877-KARS-FOR-KIDS advertisements, they shall receive a sound drubbing for sure.  I do not exaggerate.

Dang, I'll bet those are disgusting to clean.

I'm getting a bit tired of the "adopt us kids" spots.

Agree with this.  They treat those kids like they're stray dogs.  I expect to see them in collars with leashes.
I'd like to meet the guy that thought that one up and kick him in his underdeveloped package.

..and this.

How in the fuck are you anyway? I'm Andy Willoughby with the 3 Step Plan.

SHUT THE FUCK UP ASSHOLE!
Nothing but another special juice scam.

Oh, God, Andy Wiiloughby still on? I guess he was mostly on the Salem station here, and I can't get them in Everett because their signal is too weak. It is some kind of MLM, though.

I'm starting to get tired of the Granger spots with the blowhard mentor at some unamed business telling his protege, known as "kid", to call Granger all the time. It was a cute concept at first, kind of like Flo, but has gotten stale.

Hi... I'm Frank Bates. Did you know that the GOVERNMENT is building FEMA CAMPS right now that will kill you. Go to FEMA123 dot com to find out how to stop it now.

(Or whatever apocalypse he's pushing now for $$$)
Another STFU asshole.

Grainger Got it kid? "Grainger, get it, got it, good. STFU!!!

And finally, although not radio but TV.... 
I was alone in my 1 bedroom apartment. And I placed tiny little classified ads, that got me out of my depressing, boring life, to become another annoying asshole who would later kill myself.

You can do the same thing I did. Call now.

I would get a couple eps from friends on the west coast at KFI640am and i would always hear this stupid ad for Morongo Casino.

DOO DOOO DO DO      .... do do dododoOOOOO god. I hated that shit.

Little Hater

The slimiest of all have to be the commercials running on Glenn Beck's show (and maybe others) with actors pretending to be depression sufferers doing monologues about how they were cured by giving up their anti-depression meds and taking the worthless snake oil supplement that's being advertised and urging listeners to do the same. Contemptible (but right up Noory's alley).

yumyumtree

Wow, Ive heard a lot of questionable goods and services  advertised on daytime talk radio, but haven't heard that one. It isn't Texas Superfood, is it? When I hear that one, I always think how much better the fruits and vegetables they list sound than the Texas Superfood.

No, it's these dirtbags:

i think ill make it a policy to never buy anything from any website with annoying popups like that one.

THIS THIS THIS THIS!

For a while they had a groovy-sounding dude doing that commercial. And then they switched the voice but kept the script.

The first guy had a sing-song voice, like he was rapping about non-24 which sounded like he was saying 9/24. The script also made no sense. He says "you can't see me because I'm on the radio, but I can't see you because I'm blind".  Does he mean that if he wasn't blind that he could see us through the radio?

zeebo

These Vegas dot com ads have overstayed their welcome.  (I would however like to know what exactly is that info they can't go into on the radio?)

sydtron

The Grainger boss can suck a truckfull of dicks!  Is this the 1950s???!!??  Are you an ex wise guy running a construction front?  Sometimes you sound like youre going to rape the kid. Drink a beer and calm down. Youre just ordering a bag of screws. 

Signed,
Everyone.
