> [@TonySinclair](#): > > The ones with Aaron Rodgers are not the least bit funny, and only serve to make you wonder why he spends every waking moment with an insurance agent from some other company (i.e., a competitor of the company he is endorsing). Uh, he’s not spending time with an insurance agent from another company. The only _insurance_ agent is his State Farm one. His other agent is his _show-business_ agent - the guy who gets him all the primo commercials. That’s the joke. “I’m his only agent.” Different kind of agent. > [@Rebo](#): > > 1. They abandoned their kid at the airport! That’s not their kid. That kid belongs to the people behind them in line. ---

This [Inspired Closets commercial](https://www.ispot.tv/ad/w_B4/inspired-closets-ms-hiring-manager) bugs me. “I may not have been working, [sneer] Miss Hiring Manager, but I’ve been home with my kids for several years and I have fifty pairs of shoes, each in their own backlighted cubby, you _peon_.” ---

New worst commercials on tv: Everything from Mike Bloomberg. He’s so rich he just follows you channel to channel practically harassing you during every commercial break. Lay off a little, bro. This is coming from someone who will 100% vote for the dem nom. ---

Lay off a little, bro. This is coming from someone who will 100% vote for the dem nom. I’m here in TX. You have a point, but a minor counter is that his ads are the only ads at all that I’ve seen. Super Tuesday about 1.5 months away and for the moment I think Bloomberg’s the only one that has bothered to woo our vote. OTOH, as soon as the rest ramp up, I’m gonna hate. (Hence, “minor counter.”) ---

Just because they run a lot doesn’t make them bad commercials. You may find it annoying to listen to a lot, but there’s nothing inherently bad about them, unlike most of the other ads listed in this thread. ---

Skyrizi ads. First off, that doesn’t even sound like a drug name. Second, that song is terrible. Third, the singer 's voice irritates me. ---
