Title: commercials you can't stand
Post by: pectacon on March 24, 2021, 01:30:27 pm
Aren't there sometimes commercials that drive you up the wall with how often they are played. There's been one for glasses lately I'm seeing in practically every commercial break. What ad are you sick of lately?

The one for Bathfitters.   There's a woman in a bath tub in her daughters home and she says "housekeeping, I could use some fresh towels"  (there's a whole stack of towels beside her).  They play it all the time. UGH!

Me too.  I hate when a side effect can be that you die.  Don't take if you are allergic, how would you know if you were allergic?

I am partial to some of the GEICO commercials.  I just get annoyed with commercials when they are repeated during a show that I am watching and anticipating the ending.

I think it is a car company but these ladies are all driving in a car and decide to jump in a lake. Does not make me want to buy that car one bit.

Geico, Progressive, Liberty Mutual (except the one where the guy is a cell phone and it vibrates). My pillow is the absolute worse. On one channel, it's every 10 minutes. Sickening.

The car ads and car insurance ads except Geico ones are funny. I tend to grab the remote and turn the sound down. Also the Medicare ads .

Apple has the worst commercial right now. This woman is trying to catch her phone about to fall, and the scatting music in the background makes me feel like I'm about to have a seizure. UGH.

The sentimentally progressive, trying to get people "woke", kumbaya nonsense commercials.

I can't stand the commercial where the guy talks about your smile and then takes his teeth out and asks what his smile says.  It is a commercial about smoking.

I enjoy many of the commercials and couldn't think of one that I absolutely can't stand. There are some that I scratch my head as I don't see any connection until the brand name shows up.

The one for Liberty mutual.  And then there another one that is just creepy.

My dash for the remote mute button is fueled the most by the "My Pillow" guy. It would be bad enough that he runs it constantly, but I had a chance to check out that product in a local store and it is crap. Now he expects us to believe he only getas the cotton for his sheets in some remote spot that makes them impossible for anyone else to duplicate.

There is a mobile phone ad that irritates the crap out of me.   I think it's consumer cellular or jitterbug.  They make us older folks look like morons, that don't have the common sense to pick out and buy their ovvn cell phone.   :turkey:

The crazy part is, they are probably reselling T-Mobile for $20 a line and I get the same service from Ting for TWO lines on Verizon towers.

The bounty commercial, when the kid comes in with a sword and pokes the dad in the butt and his coffee spills onto the table where his daughter is on her laptop. I yell to pick up the laptop before the coffee gets to it UGH lol

I hate the one selling an incontinence machine for older women to use at night. The daughter asks the mom if she slept well, the mom says she did. Then they go on with the ad for the machine.

All the ones mentioned above are irritating.  I really cannot stand the ones for Geico and Progressive, the ones for Medicare are also annoying and the ones for Consumer Cellular.  But I agree with the My Pillow ones.  And me too, when I see the Bounty one with the sword, I also go well just pick up the laptop dummy!

And they usually have the side effect of death in very small font or they say it in a very speedy pace.

The pharmaceutical ads really irritate me.
Me too.  I hate when a side effect can be that you die.  Don't take if you are allergic, how would you know if you were allergic?

However, I do love the Bounty one where the pot sticker slides off the edge of the table into the Bulldog's mouth. I laugh every time it plays.

My pillow and the constant Medicare ones  are very annoying and get the mute most of the time.
