  • This troper hates this ad so much that if he hears those twatty groupies he'll have a spaz attack.
• Not really a jingle, but the Wii/3DS 1 + 1/2 second ident has the BING!! noise that never gets out of your head.

    • The DS startup/ident noise (including the D Si startup) is slightly less annoying.

  • The holiday jingles were just as earworm-ish.
• Stanley Steemer: Call 1-800-STEEMER, Stanley Steemer gets your carpet cleaner!
