I haven't seen the Martha commercial, but the worse one for me is

Jimmy "Dynomite" Walker.  When he says..."Call Naaaaaow" it's pain

to my ears.  Yep, if these commercials must be on, I'll take Hollywood

Joe.  William Shatner is tolerable also.

Yep, I think the former Capt Kirk is the most tolerable!

I think it is a degrading and cruel commercial....typecasting seniors as ugly, mean and demented individuals like Martha....even the name That NOBODY would ever name a child is degrading.  

 

They are not getting my business  running such a bad commercial 


@SeaMaiden  While I agree with your opinion about the commercial--I've actually known a couple of women named Martha in my 67 years! One was my age (67), another was several years older.

Ageism comes in many forms. Awful commercial.

@vermint @Yes...it is an Old persons name...no one in their 20's is named Martha unless they are very unlucky or their Mother hates them

Huh? I've known lots of ladies named Martha, some younger than I am. In fact, some statements in this thread are more demeaning and hurtful than that "Martha" character. And she's awful.
