Ok, this popped on my TV when I was doing something else, and louder than all else in the ad, I'll I hear is 'BOOK' BOOK' 'BOOK'....scared the bejesus out of me.

This looks to be an extended version of what I saw..the real annoyance starts about :28 in.

I can't help myself. I like this one. I'm sure it will annoy me after I've heard it about a dozen times.

Usually when a dog makes that noise, it's followed by a load of barf on the rug.

Which I suppose is a decent metaphor for this awful commercial.

One of the things I've noticed about it is that no matter how low you have the volume, the "Book!" noise still seems to be loud.

LOL...uh WTF!!??

Sorry this is kinda funny more memorable than their last campaign! Which was well.. Forgettable.

However it would be funny if he ended up puking, "book! Book! Book! Blllleeerrrgggghhh!"

And I don't like puking.

TripAdvisor thinks they have a real hit here, they need to  book, book, book that dog out of here.

I'm booking tired of this booking dog, and I booking love dogs. 

I guess in a way, it's accurate that the dog's bark is 3x louder than the rest of the commercial, so that when this booking ear rape runs, the TripAdvisor dog rattles the booking pictures on my walls.

Maybe... MAYBE if it actually sounded like a dog, and not some actor "barking" the word "book", I could take it... but as it stands...

Totally obnoxious commercial. Doesn't make me want to use their site. They need to get rid of the dog and get abit more serious about their commercials.

That first line made me laugh. But yes, it's so annoying when that stupid dog goes BOOK BOOK BOOK BOOK BOOK BOOK BOOK. It's on all the time on GSN (Game Show Network).

EDIT: I've only seen the 60-sec extended version on GSN once.

This dog has replaced Arby's "We have the meats" as #1 on my Hit Mute list.

yeah, i got over the whole "talking dog" phase when i eventually out grew scooby-doo.

now? i tend to find that whole "talking dog" thing rather dumb unless it's an anthro.

note: by anthro i mean humanoid or at least intelligent enough to speak clearly without the engrish that is scooby-doo. yeah, scooby can talk great...until an L comes up then it's back to engrish.

I never did mute Arby's. However, I pounce on the big blue button labled "MUTE" whenever this comes on.

The only talking dogs I like is Scooby Doo, the dog from Oliver & Company, the Dogs from Up, and the pug from Men In Black.

I'm glad this lousy ad was included here. People are so trained to love everything involving a small dog, but this stupid sound affect is annoying as hell. I hated this ad the first time I saw it!

I like animals more than I like most people, so I'm torn. Do I wish the dog dead or the morons who thought this idea would make a great commercial? I can't decide who deserves to be dead more.
