Again with the annoying commercials!

This Sirius/XM commercial with Kevin Hart.

WHAAAAATTTTT?

O.k. I still hate the True Classics T-shirt guys. Ugh.

Yeah. But also, since she is supposed to be one of the parents, then she should listen, anyway.

Yep.

Annoying noises = AAA Insurance with a bell every 5 seconds.

WHAT?

I’m hating New Jake From State Farm more and more with every new ad.

Also, I never thought I’d say this, but Sonic? Please bring back Pete and T.J. These cars full of cretins in your latest ads are unbearable.

Many, many years ago an art project called “The Most Unwanted Song” was created, featuring audio elements that people supposedly find to be particularly annoying. One of the most prominent, repeated features is a chorus of children belting out advertising.

Apparently, the people in Harris Teeter’s marketing department are not familiar with this piece of media; their recent TV ad features children (and other people, but the children are the most obnoxious) bellowing the store’s jingle in a soulless, grating monotone.

Also, the ad starts with a mom tuning her van’s ridiculously old-looking stereo to a station just to hear the Harris Teeter jingle. The van doesn’t seem to be as old as the stereo, which may have been a mock-up of some sort to easily display the station and jingle info…but it was jarringly out-of-place to me.

Do you have bulging eyes? Take TEPEZZA

I’m so sick of that stupid woman and her non bulging eyes. Commercial runs at least three times an hour on Sundance.

Worst part, her eyes look normal to me. Nothing like Marty Feldman.

I use to mock the commercial with bulging package. Even that’s grown tiresome. Now I hit mute whenever it comes on.

Not annoying in a “oh, geez, not this commercial again!” way, but annoying in a “are you freakin’ serious?” angle - there’s a Jeep commercial running during the NCAA basketball tournament where they proudly banner the price of their Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer on the screen. The Grand Wagoneer - from Jeep, mind you, not a niche high-quality specialty carmaker, not a luxury brand - starts at over $89,900.

Even given the current inflationary pressures in the new car market, that seems like a hell of a lot of money for a Jeep.

I can’t imagine taking a 90k vehicle off roading or doing any typical jeep activities.

At that price you’d have to treat it like a cadillac. Keep it in a garage, wash and wax regularly.

I would recon the majority 95%+ of SUVs never leave a paved road or drive in the snow and as you a mention the higher the cost and more luxury the less likely either of those will happen. Buyers want that capability but rarely/never need it - Jeep and every car manufacturer know this and profit from it.

I don’t think the Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer even qualified for the company’s “Trail Rated” badge due to the wheelbase. (My pet theory that no one asked about: Jeep will eventually have to stop using ‘Cherokee,’ so they wanted to reintroduce the Wagoneer name to the car-buying public as a high-end, luxury name.)

Is this the commercial that instructs you to go to a special website to see the bulgy “before” pictures?

Aside from the weirdness of a normal-looking person wearing 88 pairs of sunglasses, I’ve wondered why they used a model who doesn’t fit the physical profile of someone with classic Graves’s disease* (i.e. thin, jittery etc.).

I know, a piddling objection.

*it’s true that it’s possible to have thyroid eye disease without thyrotoxicosis.

There may be photos on the companys website. I haven’t looked.

She looks like someone who’s had a good chunk of her Thyroid removed as a treatment for Graves’.

Oh gawd yes!

Ironically, there is also an overplayed commercial about some woman buying skin cream (?) in England and the clerk telling her she can get it in the US now. The British clerk? She’s got Marty Feldman eyes. Maybe they should use her in the other commercial? Just a thought.

They’re at least giving a better imitation of playing their instruments than the Kars4Kids ensemble.

Many people buying SUVs are less interested in its offroad capabilities. What they want is the space over a sedan (now that sedans are scrunched to hell for fuel efficiency) without getting the dreaded minivan.

Ok, I went and looked at the pictures on the TEPEZZA site.

The eyes are still a bit bulgy in the after pictures, to be honest. The first before/after set is very dramatic though.

Fuck yeah! She is TERRIFYING!

I hate the ad that goes, “Turmeric. Turmeric that is better than other Turmeric. It’s Turmeric Turmeric Turmeric. So get this Turmeric because its Turmeric Turmeric Turmeric Turmeric Turmeric Turmeric Turmeric. The Better Turmeric!”

Say Turmeric Again Motherfucker!

I don’t even know what the fuck Turmeric is! But drilling that word into my mind don’t make me wanna buy it!

Turmeric is a ground dried spice from a root (actually a rhizome) similar to ginger.
