Or things about them that drive you nuts. First of all, the Progressive laundry room one, pull your bib up OVER your boobs, girl. And I hate these 'oh my kids will eat pizza and frozen waffles, I'm such a good parent, that's SUCH an accomplishment'. No it ain't, 'oooh I put a big pile of candy in front of my kids, I wonder if they'll eat it? Oh they are, it's so amazing'. Yeah, try that with a meatloaf and then get back to us.
Great thread |

The GEICO ad (for some company anniversary or other) with the blue letters halfhearted dancing, while being showered with blue confetti. When that one comes on, usually during Jeopardy, it's so boring that all three of us pretend to fall asleep, snoring as loudly as we can. We could just fast-forward past it--we always tape our Jeopardy eps and let them stack up until we can watch a couple at a time--but since the GEICO ad's so short, we do the snoring act. That way we get a little entertainment from an otherwise completely worthless ad. At least the gecko's sort of cute...though I wish somebody would explain to me why he has a Cockney accent.

Any of those "get your significant other a car for Christmas" commercials, but the one that really grates on me is the one with the cutesy couple with the pair of GMC trucks and she picks out the one he had bought for himself. They're so cloyingly "Ken and Barbie" and that's bad enough, but to make it worse they resemble each other so much I'd swear they're siblings.

She gives him a little tiny watch. And he gives her a SUV. And instead of saying thank you, she INSIST on taking his new truck. |

Bah dadum dum dah I do enjoy this with the dog, tho I do have to admit the one with the dog was funny. Only because when I first started to watch it I kept thinking to myself "if there was a dog he would be saying yeeeeees!" like how my dog probably thinks. And then it did show a dog saying that lol.  Put a dog in an ad and I'll love it

Every once and a while I'll still see one of those celebrity "we're in this together" covid commercials. Is there anything worse?

I saw one where a celebrity said, "Don't self isolate, don't social distance, and don't wear a mask. I hope you get Covid and die, you fat motherfucker." That was pretty bad. |

All of them!
I avoid commercials even more than I avoid the news.

The one where the guy is bringing a plate of spaghetti and meatballs to the woman and it spills in her lap because it was a flimsy paper plate. Can't bear to look when it spills It looks like a nice kitchen...so how come they don't have any real plates? The most embarrassing thing... that's supposed to be a date. Great impression, cheapskate! |

Because they're shown to a target audience that is elderly and probably hard of hearing. ...and apparently cant raise the volume on their tv. They don't. They also don't do closed captioning. |

Ha, yeah, we're in this togetheeerrrrrrrr, while they're flying off to tropical islands and going to awards and night clubs and doing every single thing they normally did before WE ALL had to shut down businesses, stay home and go broke. You literally have not heard of ONE celebrity who has suffered from lockdown.

Especially the one in which the father spills something after his kid stabs him in the behind with a sword and then laughs demonically. That little girl is so cute. She's the same girl in the commercial where the mother comes in to see her three kids playing, and she asks, "What do you all want for dinner tonight?" They all chime in, and that little girl says, "I want a bucket of chicken !!!" The little girl who wants a bucket of chicken is super cute and hilarious. I love her. That commercial always makes me smile and often I repeat "I want a bucket of chicken" after she says it. The only commercial kids who can give her legit competition in the cute and seems like a normal child department are the sisters in the Hershey chocolate ad that are competing for squares of a Hershey bar. I have never been a fan of Flo or the Progressive commercials but the snarky sour faced girl is a new low in loathsome. An annoying mean spirited asshole girl with a perpetual scowl seems like a poor choice to sell any product.

I hate this commercial with this female kid in a restaurant, but her voice sounds like joe peschi. Because he did the voice for that commercial. It is a pepsi commercial.

My favorite gilligan castaway died because of this ridiculousness. |

With all the ridiculous and irritating insurance commercials that are currently running, the one that seems to have disappeared is the one that I liked--the Liberty "Seagulls" commercial. Why? That one was actually funny, unlike the guy dressed as a cell phone or the grating "Emu and Doug" series.

So many ads seem born of desperation on the part of the advertising firms and stupidity on the part of the companies buying the ads.
