Re: Commercials you LOVE TO HATE

The Spectrum cable commercials are terribly annoying. Two guys are supposed friends. The one friend Tony, continues to invade the personal space, house and garage of the other to enjoy hs cable.  His friend actually yells at him in a high pitched tone,  "Tony, what are you doing in my house?" There's  continued yelling and  back and forth banter, about why he should get his own subscription to Spectrum. The commercials are continued and now they've added a woman to join in on the insanity. 

Spectrum must realize the silliness of that commercial and now they've added a new commercial. One that introduces a calm, knowledgeable and non intrusive, friendly cable guy. Everyone  is so glad to see him... including me. 😆

QVC is one big 24/7 commercial

@Linda0215    I think what really bugs me about this one is they play it like three times in a row...

oh yes, that would bug me too.  It's happened where I live and it definitely snaps you to attention in all the wrong ways!

I can't stand all of them already listed but I actually do hate the Liberty Mutual ads with the dorky guy and that ridiculous emu.

The one for Chase bank with Melissa McCarthy breaking plates and vases.

All the Medicare Advantage commercials.

A new one for Colorado tourism where a woman wails something indistinguishable in the background and I can't understand what she's saying.

Lume.

Super Beets.

All Liberty Mutual commercials.

Manscaping razor set.

Products to improve urine flow in men with prostate problems. Fountains and firehoses in the background.

NuGenix "She'll like it too"

Re: Commercials you LOVE TO HATE

For many years now, I rarely watch anything in real time.  I record the shows and movies and play them back later, fast forwarding through all commercials.  Saves a lot of time ....  and makes me wonder why people continue to sit through these stupid commercials.

 

I haven't seen any of these commercials, but I have to say, @SeaMaiden , it's been a long time since I've seen someone use the word "teenybopper".  LOL  Woman LOL

The Medicare commercials especially with the guy from Good Times yelling in a screechy voice.  Also all the insurance commercials that don't make any sense.
