We brought a house in 1950, 5000 yes 5000 dollars, kitchen, formal dining room, living room, three. Bedrooms and OnE BATH for five people. Me, my husband, one daughter and two sons.  We did a add on in late 50 18x18 room, Off kitchen for 500 dollars.  Sold house in late 70 for 200,000.  Brought present house 1976 with four bedrooms, kitchen den, living room,two bathrooms for 25,000.  Still here by myself, forty years later and just use the one bathroom.  I hate moving, and house plenty big for me.

The ad I hate is the teacher standing in the classroom while the kids creating havoc, talking about her vacation.  Yes she need a break, but I doubt any teacher would let kids behave like that.

A personal product used by men.  

Ladies....I think you know what I mean.

Disgusting~!

I can't stand the one where that woman throws the phone at her sick husband as she's walking out the door, when he is lamenting how his Mom used to care for him.....and she says "call your Mom"....

I alway wish they'd run a sequel where she comes home  and the place is empty.

"See Ya!!!!"

The one that currently cracks me up is the guys "camping" in the supermarket aisle and the store guy comes along and the one guy say "GIT!!" to him at the end of the ad....I ALWAYS crack up when he says "GIT" no matter how many times I see it!!!!! His face is cray-zeee!!!!!

The guy who "smacks his lunch" is REALLY creepy.....("Food you want to fork"...how contrived is that?!?!?"

Marie pushing Nutri-Glop......I feel bad for all the people who buy that garbage and the crushing disappointment when it arrives in a brown box, all loose boxes of processed preserved carbohydrate-rich mush.....not at ALL like the presentations....

Her infomercial takes the cake for cornball.

And last.....ah yes...the talking ball of snot on the airplane, doing a crossword puzzle.

I really dislike the car dealer ones with little kids telling you to buy from their father's car dealer.

I like the Geico ones because they are very original and quirky.

My favorite all time commercial was the one for Alka-seltzer with the jack hammers and the line "No matter what shape your stomach is in...." and I can't believe I ate the WHOLE thing.

Don't hate, but dislike all of them.

Absolutely in agreement with the above.

... also Viagra single packs,  with a woman slithering around on a bed.

I bet Marie did more than just eating the products. Have you seen the sizes of some of those packages?   She looks fantastic but Oprah who says she lost 40 lbs, not so much.

I noticed way back after Marie did Dancing with the Stars she claimed Nutrasystem was how she lost the weight, but she was dancing several hours a day. I think she lost it without dieting because she looked thinner after she made it to the finale, which took several weeks.

Aflac for sure

Geiko - getting more bizarre with each one

The  ones that say "we have fees" and the words are crawling around like bugs in their hair is the absolute worst!!! Who ever thought that was a good idea? Nasty!

As far as the prescription drugs ones, I agree with everyone else. Yes, I am aware they are mandated to list the side effects,etc, however my issue is with the ads period. Why are you advertising to the consumer/patient?  A doctor or NP should discuss meds with you and decide what is appropriate for you to take, not you showing up & saying -"hey, can I have that med I saw on TV that cured that awful psoriasis on the guy on the date.?"

Ridiculous & inappropriate!
