I needed to look up a thread like this so I could express how much I hate every single Verizon/Cecily Strong commercial. Each time I think I hate one more (Edelman, Einstein), the next one is worse. A horrible play off of a classic line from a 1969 X-rated Best Picture winner? I want to throttle everybody who has something to do with this. Dammit dude, that Haribo commercial ruined my day. Again!!

I swear and mute the TV every time it comes on.

This commercial, on its face, isn't the most obnoxious, however, back when I watched football religiously, it was played constantly. Every single commercial break, during every single game, every single week. It was unrelenting. You guys definitely remember it. The last 5 seconds are what really drive it home.

Then, of course, is this one, which was not only remarkably grating and ubiquitous, but it turned out to be a giant scam!
This isn't the original, it's some weird, alt-version. But you get the idea. And you definitely know this. It has haunted your dreams for decades.

I had to laugh at this one when I saw it. Was it the commercial's intent to be openly sexist? The man is concerned about doing his job, the woman is worried about how she looks on a date. I suppose it was highlighting the various issues with having psoriasis, but it just comes across as amusingly old fashioned when they juxtapose the male and female mindsets like that in a commercial. On a related note, I feel like an overwhelming amount of Bipolar Disorder Rx ads feature women. Like 90/10. And while that might suggest the drug companies/ad execs know women are much more likely to admit to needing help with their mental health, it still sends a disturbing message when the majority of these ads reinforce the idea that "Hey, women are crazy!" Maybe I'm overthinking it, I don't know.

No clip, but one of my favorite NFL podcasts has lately been playing an ad for "The Process with Nate Burleson." The ad begins: "This is Nate Burleson and they gave your man my very own podcast!" The mid-sentence switch between third and first person unnerves me. Also, that podcast has had a grand total of one episode - it aired more than a month ago. Nothing since. WTF? This "Process" petered out quicker than Philly's.

"I have moderate to severe" whatever malady.
Nothing says you're a paid actor like describing mutually exclusive diagnoses as your "truth."

This Melissa McCarthy Booking.com spot playing before every YouTube video is really starting to annoy me. Haven't seen this, and I won't hit play. The one I see on TV fucking ALL THE TIME is this shit: Absolutely horrific in every way. I could do a lengthy dissertation on every aspect of the horror of this ad, but I won't subject everyone to it. Just know that this is blight on humanity and it must be stopped.

This Melissa McCarthy Booking.com spot playing before every YouTube video is really starting to annoy me. This one gets on my nerves. The person listing this place didn't include the view or the yard as a selling point?! It's preposterous. Surely there has to be a better way to convey the 'no hidden costs' message this ad was going for.

They're hoping their song and dance will distract you from the fact that JARDIANCE is not for people with type 1 diabetes, and it "may not work" if you have kidney problems alongside type 2 diabetes (diabetes is the leading cause of such problems). Plus - the entire second half of the ad being devoted to warnings about the serious potential side effects over cheery music and happy people dancing. ![](https://s26.postimg.cc/c2xjcn7h5/none.gif)

Just know that this is blight on humanity and it must be stopped. I keep hearing giardia, which is an equivalent way to lose weight. Why in the hell does Kevin Hart have to scream in every commercial he's in? I have to mute this or turn the channel or the TV off instantly for this. There's a good reason Golden Corral turned off commenting on the video.

When I saw that this thread was back towards the top, that was the exact video I was going to upload: 1) Nobody has ever asked the question, "which came first, the chicken tender or baby back rib?" 2) No one would ever have an opinion on this question, let alone be so adamant about their answer as these two losers are. If I was either of the two people at the periphery of the table, I'd leave those three idiots immediately.

US adverts seem to be trying to sell you saturated fat, sugary, processed foods that make you a fat bastard.
Then when your lard arse unsurprisingly gets type 2 diabetes, tries to to sell you magic pills to alleviate it... Pills which sound more likely to kill than cure I might add.
