Just currious as to what add is most annoying in everyones oppinion? I would have to say the d sports adds, for tv, and the punch the monkey adds for the web. Any takers?

Any add where a politician claims he's honest.

I'd have to cast my vote for the Punch The Monkey. Most annoying thing I have ever seen and you see the stupid thing everywhere.

Yeah, that @#$%^&* monkey made me go looking for an internet filtering program. I found one called WebWasher (http://www.webwasher.com/), and I haven't seen that particular primate since. No pop-up ads, either. And the program's freeware to non-commercial users. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Joel still has the simplest and easiest solution to those annoying ads, IMO. After the page loads, hit Stop.

Yeah, the annoying monkey is everywhere, but an even more annoying ad was a banner I saw in several places (those of you who also frequent HOST club will completely understand), the agonizingly annoying and irritating bright flashing "WINNER" banner..

I freqent hearme.com and Mplayer.com, and I hate the flashing Winner and Punch the monkey ads, The james bond ads drove me insane too. I have a program that takes care of those ads now tho, hehehe <--evil

I keep trying to punch that monkey just like the banner ad suggests but it keeps redirecting me to some website with a money tree?

PS. I’m being facetious. My funny is bone is slightly bent and smaller than that of the stirrup. Just another humor packed joke for your reading enjoyment.

The only ad I find annoying is on TV. It's the CNet commercials... ALL of them. Extremely disturbing IMO.

That flashing yes no, yes no thing was a pain. Also, remember those annoying 70s flashack burger king commercials, I did not eat there for 6 months after!

I bet the monkey tells all his friends to go to Sysopt's, they've got a whole crowd over there with nothing to do but try to punch me.

I think the Monkey ad guys did a good job. They managed to get everyone here talking about it didn't they?

I'm putting my vote in for CNet though. I might be biased because I got to know a few people over there about a year ago and I found them to be intellectually bankrupt. Still what were they thinking. I could produce that commercial for under $1000.
