My New Most Hated Commercials.

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Tue, 06 Jul 2021 14:20:56 GMT

The ad with Ashley Graham in the shower hawking some razor. The song/music drives me crazy.

E Harmony's new ads (seems to be 3 different ones). Annoying music and one has a dark haired woman in leather jacket taking a selfie. Her tongue is hanging out of the side of her mouth like a poor drunken St. Bernard. Why anyone thinks that attractive is a mystery.

My DVR is acting up so I haven't been able to record shows and then FF commercials. I've taken to having the remote glued to me to change channels and skip the ads,

Whoever dreams commercials up should be put in a room, duct taped to chair and forced to watch/listen non-stop for a few hours. If they are sane afterwards then put it on the air.

I hate the one that starts with "don't say we didn't warn you". A quick channel changer for me.

Where shall I begin? Anything with Flo, especially where she plays several roles. On a related thème, The overdone Geiko commercials. They were clever and funny years ago. Now they're just dumb. Then there's the singing hood ornament. At least use some skill in creating the animation. It looks tacky. Any ads for reality shows. Last but not least, local ads featuring loud-mouthed car salesmen or their only-a-mother-can-love kids whose speech is so unclear that they can't be understood.

Most detested are the ads for prescription drugs. In most other countries they're not allowed. It seems that they must divulge possible side effects. My favorites are cancer, death and, the beloved, explosive diarrhea. I think it's a travesty that people who are dying of cancer are yet another "target" of greedy drug companies.

OK. I feel better now.

Definitely the constant insurance commercials--especially "Limu Emu...and Doug"

I forgot one. It is an insurance co, can't remember which one. Lisa Loeb is in it. I hated that song when she did it years ago and still do.

I hate the one with the tennis player waking up at 5 something or other AM with a migraine. Because it's on incessantly.

And Carter Mario the lawyer ads.

And the medicine ones whenever somebody refers to what ails them as "my moderate to severe".

And there's another new one with some weird guy whose name I never catch that claims to amongst other things be an ice skater and to have great hair, don't even know what he's advertising because he's too cloying to resist hitting the mute button the minute I see his face.

And anything medicare related. Dear God even the Joe Namath one still shows up.

I just hate the ones with doorbells in them. Rather, my dogs hate them. Whoever came up with that ought to be sat in a roomful of dogs and have that commercial played on a loop.

I hate the ones that reward bad behavior too...

The Mother chasing her daughter through the house with the fork of food in her hand "One more bite!"

Long ago, in the interest of saving time, I started recording everything I watch regularly so I could play back and FF through the commercials. It allows me to watch a one hour show in about 43 minutes. Very efficient ... and don't we all have better things to do with our time?

I am still surprised that people continue to watch TV shows in real time and sit through all those agonizing commercials .... seems like torture to me. JMO, of course.

This commercial has been out quite awhile but I still see it and it's like nails on a chalkboard. The Lay's Potato Chips commercial with the lady singing at the end of the commercial...crispy, airy tasty Popables.

I grab the remote when I see it's about to come on.

Yes! For tv shows and commercials. Mine doesn't hate them but he perks up and gets all excited - somebody's here! somebody's here!

I have to tell him 'no, baby, it's the tv' and he lies back down.

Yesterday there was one and I said the usual phrase, but he was like - uh, no, somebody's here. I rewound what was on the tv and there was no doorbell so I looked out and saw my Amazon parcel that wasn't supposed to deliver until today. Had to apologize to the dog. He was right.

I hate the ones with electronc beeps/alarms. They remind me of my smoke detectors and give me a shot of anxiety.

Ugh, creepy pillow guy! For sure. I haven't had to see one of those in a long time, as I watch either semi-live or recorded stuff. That guy has creeped me out since the very first time I saw him on QVC. Who knew that would get even more creepy.

The Allstate commercial with a guy singing a duet with a female hood ornament.

Re: My New Most Hated Commercials.

seaglass1 — Tue, 06 Jul 2021 20:19:20 GMT

The drug ads when someone says he's dr so and so and prescribes this for his patients, and on the screen it says, "actor portrayal".

State Farm pizza delivery one. Local plumbing commercial and a couple of other local ones that play what seems like non-stop. I'm sure there are more. Sometimes the frequency they come on bothers me more than the commercial.

For me, one that just creeps me out big time is the one with the guy who is half human and half motorcycle.

Just why???
