There's an ad for Arby's, I think it's for kid's meals, but not sure, with a really cute little girl, but I have to mute it.  There's some kind of hip-hop type music playing & this little girl makes the most annoying noises & bopping to the beat, I just can't stand it!   I think she's saying "What I Do", but not sure, as can't understand what she's saying & the squeaky tone of her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to my old ears.


@aubnwa01 Can't stand that commercial, and I really can't stand any of Arby's commercials-hate that guys voice-WE HAVE THE MEATS! Ugh!!!!

@Cakers3  I can't believe how bad JJ Walker looks; like he's been ill or something.

These commercials, and they keep adding new versions, are so disturbing. There are real human beings who have lost parts of their bodies. Yes, put them in commercials if they wish that, but this phony junk is distasteful and disrespectful.


Those commercials are for motorcyle insurance. The tagline- For people BORN to ride- explains it all.

This commercial is not aimed at people who aren't in love with their motorcyles (and there are loads of people who are!)

Thank You for that explanation.  That makes sense, actually.   Clearly, I'm not in the targeted audience as I couldn't imagine it making any kind of sense.   Still not a fan, but now I understand.   Smiley Happy

You are welcome! At first I thought the commercial had nothing to do with car insurance until I realized it wasn't for car insurance. I started thinking about my cousin who is all about his bike and then it hit me!

@BornToShop   I thought so too.  He was very slender in Good Times but I've seen him around later in life and looked healthy and heavier.  In this commericial, though, it looks like he has lost a lot of weight.

The Kraft Mac/Cheese commercials.

 

Especially with the mom chasing her daughter all over the house with something on a fork-yelling "just one more bite you are having one more bite".

 

Eat it yourself.  LOL

 

Yeah, powdered processed food will cure those awful kids refusing to eat.

Re: My New Most Hated Commercials.

There are so many bad commercials to choose from but the one in particular that just makes me hit the mute is the one for some credit card company that features Kevin Hart as the spokesperson.  

 

If you are a fan of his I apologize but he is so loud and obnoxious in this one that I just cannot watch or should I say listen to it.
