My vote is for the new ROB SCHNIEDER show coming out, previewing ads between football games.  And in this one, Rob Schnieder is...Married to a taco bender.
 
So he gets married to a super hot chick twice his height, and she is mexican-even though she looks totally white-and he comes home to find out...wait for it........theres 40 cholos there!!!
 
This show is trying to be edgy, with ROB making akward and insensitive comments about mexicans, but since all the best mexican jokes are not allowed on TV its just totally lame.  Not sold yet?  His father-in-law is CHEECH!!!  Well that works out, since im gonna have to be super stoned to watch this poo.
Like Twater for Chocolate

I think all the sitcoms on basic cable are pretty lame now.  Lot of companies/corporations have gone politically correct now so all the situations and jokes are going to be pretty dull....since anything against women or minorities are out of the question, usually its just a doofy white guy being made fun of as a slob...which is basically what all advertising is anyway....

Anything on Teen Nick because the people who run the channel have gotten it in their heads to play the same 5 commercials all day every day.

 Along with the fact that they air the same episode of the same show every day at the same time the channel is just terrible nowadays.

Any ad for "The Good Wife" on CBS, they are trying to make Julianna Margulies look sexy when that wig wearing and crazy eyebrow lady is not.

Any commercial for the Big Bang Theory. Apparently every station in America is showing reruns of this mildly amusing show. TBS is the worst offender. Every 5 seconds, another stupid BBT on TBS commercial.

I don't get the BBT. It seems like nothing more than a convention of former B-list child stars including David and Darlene from Roseanne and Blossom. The networks are all over this sitcom because after several years of duds they finally found one mildly amusing show that somewhat appeals to a demographic under 50.

Agreed!!  The show is a snooze fest.  I only watch it when nothing's on, and don't even crack a smile once.  But apparently, it's all the rage with a lot of young people.  I'm 24, and I'm not one of the crowd in this matter.

I cannot stand the commercials played ad nauseum for "Hot in Cleveland".  TV Land is seriously trying to praise this show as if it's the epitome of brilliant sitcoms.  I love Betty White, but just because she plays an outspoken, foul-mouthed octogenarian does not make for must-see-TV.

I think this is the commercial that I hate the most.  I hardly qualify "The Exes" and "Hot in Cleveland" as sitcoms.

Hehe I like The Big Bang Theory as well (though I'm only 25)  I don't know, I guess I can understand why some people don't like it, but I just love it (I'm much like Sheldon, without as much of the brain-smarts, but with equal lack of social skills).  

On topic though, I'm quite tired of those commercials for that Rob Schneider show as well.  It looks really unfunny :(

Eh, I think Julianna is kind of cute in a non-traditional way.  She's a good actress too.  On the other hand, Christine Baranski looks like Ben Stiller in drag.

As for my vote for worst TV show commercial, has anyone seen the ads for that new ABC sitcom "Work It"?  Shoot.  Me.  Now.

Every commercial for any show about investigating UFOs, ghosts, or Bigfoot. Every one of these commercials ends with a short clip showing people gasping or getting overly excited (so as to imply that they finally came face to face with an alien, ghost, or Sasquatch ... and now they have video proof!). But of course, you are always disappointed to find out they gasped because someone spilled coffee or something and nothing else significant occurred.

I don't know Big Bang theory from Adam, but that remark had my sympathy immediately. I defy most of the demographics, even without trying.

I've seen those. Sleepy  "New evidence" like those footprints. Infrared cameras at night and then the crew hears that "noise" in the distance, to make us think they're right on his trail.

SweaterRock: An oversexed Betty White for today's fratboy demographic just isn't funny.

Adventure Time has the worst commercials, because it's actually a pretty quality show. It reminds me of the cartoons we rarely see anymore, the kind that family can watch, with the kids enjoying the pretty colours and sight gags, and older members enjoying the subtle brilliant bits of mature humour.
 
but what to they have to promote it? long ads of continuous screaming, and basically a lot of annoying sh*t that made me hate the show before I even watched it. Cartoon Network better realise that no one finds that stupidity funny, and reformat the way they promote their own shows, unless they like cancelling them constantly.
