I wasn’t familiar with that word so I looked it up. You’re right! Kitty is sitting in a giant molcajete. Glad the commercial ends before she busts out her pestle. ---

It’s a guy whose Tik Tok his him watching other tictokers doing something stupid or overly complicated, does the simple thing and then shrugs. ---

Holy cow, those Jared commercials keep coming and each is more overwrought and stupider than the last. And a woman cries in each one. I’d probably cry too if my husband spent over a thousand dollars on a piece of rock. ---

I swear I’ll stop harping on these-- once they stop the madness. Every time I see this particular Jared “Love Story” I wonder if past future husband smuggled it in his ass like Christopher Walkins. [Hope this link works!](https://www.ispot.tv/ad/q4FJ/jared-my-hero-save-20-storewide) ---

This sort of belongs here- the annual Super Bowl commercials show. Approximately 15 minutes of showing classic Super Bowl commercials, about 15 minutes of actual commercials, and about 30 minutes of inane banter between the hosts. The banter is obviously scripted and so fucking lame a third grade class could not do a worse job. The ONLY way to make that show watchable is to record it and fast forward through the banter and the real commercials. ---

Is it me or do most Colonial Penn commercials sound like they’re outtakes from some soap opera without the stereotypical soap opera music? ---

You don’t understand Martha. Not only does she approve the litter, she arranges the blue crystals to spell the kitty’s name. And the dried poo? They make wonderful mini landscape boulders when building your holiday village around the tree. We are talking a lady _ **who removes and washes the pink gravel in her driveway every year** _.She is on a different plane and all we can do is watch and learn. ---

This is on the same plane as that dumb Target tagline: The things you value most shouldn’t cost more. Like they don’t know the relationship between how valuable something is and how much it costs. Especially when you are talking about goods you buy. ---

I’m just glad they’ve gotten rid of “the lock we’re talking about isn’t the one one your door,” followed by _a dozen clips of door locks being locked_. 🤨 That was Colonial Penn, right? I can’t find them online, but WakeMed has a series of commercials featuring an animated, anthropomorphic heart that has gotten increasingly smarmy over the last few years. I’m sure their cardiovascular care is really great, but having their irritating little mascot deliver 30-second lectures on abstaining from alcohol and eating loads of veggies makes me wonder what kind of attitude their doctors have toward their patients. ---

The annoying Larry David commercial for “crypto”. Aside from how annoying it is overall, I actually agree with him about crypto. It’s a fad. And NFTs are a scam to separate the stupid from their money. ---

I’m willing to be that Larry David was paid in _cash_ for his crypto commercial. ---

Still hating than damn cat Walker, and that insipid song. I fear we’ll have it forever, just like Flo and the gecko. And the seat geek ads, with the talking animated asses. About the only thing more annoying would be if there was a commercial with a talking vagina. That would…wait…what?! Oh my GOD! ---

There’s a new-ish ad for some car insurance company that lauds people for careful driving, showing them driving around with wedding cakes and a science fair volcano. Whoever created that ad obviously never drove in the north where potholes reign supreme. Just today I was rolling along in traffic at 20 mph thinking “Bumpety, bumpety, bump. There goes the lava all over the car.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/again-with-the-annoying-commercials/790089.md?page=164) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/again-with-the-annoying-commercials/790089.md?page=166)
