Preach it!
Nah, I can’t hate on an actor taking a gig and performing per direction.
I hate the ad agency, and I hate Spectrum, and I will attempt to persuade as many people as possible to avoid their mobile phone service.
And I would gladly pitch in on the cost of hiring a van blaring the audio from this damn commercial outside the Spectrum CEO’s house 24/7.
But other than that, I bear no ill will. 
That’s fair–and a good idea in that second paragraph!
But some performers are hired because they are annoying (on the theory that their ads will be more memorable, as, sadly, often is the case).
I suspect I’d hate that guy in any gig he landed, regardless of the direction he received. Fingernails-on-blackboard voice: not easily changed.
Please tell me that Pandora’s “let’s make love let’s make love let’s make love let’s make love let’s make love let’s make love” commercials will go the hell away after Valentine’s Day. >.< The visuals are fine, but I don’t always pay attention to the TV during breaks, so from my perspective I’m hearing the same 
song over and over and over during each commercial break.
Like Larry David shilling crypto currency?
Annoying on multiple levels! Including meta-levels.
So, basically, Gronk is the Trix Rabbit for insurance.
You know, that creepy dude on the corner selling whatever is in his coat?
Yep, they were the premiere name in do your own taxes. Now suddenly they’re pushing themselves as a tax service.
Yeah, made me do a “huh-whuh”?
I seem to have missed those. I can imagine they hired him because he has a reputation for being A Smart Guy, unlike some of the other crypto-hucksters.
I’ll never regain whatever respect I may once have had for Matt Damon due to his ‘IF YOU DON’T BUY THIS, YOU’RE NOT A REAL MAN’ message. What a doofus.

I think “why would anyone go to Jared Fogle for jewelry? Is he even out of prison?”
I always connect the two and get creeped out.
Can I bitch about Mattress Mack again? He’s a furniture huckster here in Houston that has turned to the MAGA dark side and has sued Harris county for election irregularities. (The candidate he backed lost.)
So besides his screaming commercials that play constantly (SAVES YOU MONEY!!!) - he’s all over the news. Just shut the fuck up!
What is it with bedding salesmen and election madness? Is it poly batting poisoning or something?
There isn’t enough money in helping people get things done on their own. That’s also why Angie’s List went from providing useful service reviews to the “Angi” incarnation, where the purpose is to get you to hook up with contractors.
*Turbotax may need extra dough to help pay that $141 million settlement.
Don’t forget the conflicts of interest the List had:
“[Angie’s List] makes a big point to say they’re consumer-driven, when in fact 70% of their revenue comes from advertising. It’s not advertising Coca Cola, it’s advertising from the companies they rate,” explained Jeff Blyskal, a senior editor for Consumer Reports. While companies do not pay to be listed on Angie’s List, companies can pay to appear higher up in the search results – which Blyskal believes compromises the validity of the Angie’s List sorting system.
I’ve started noticing ads for some local plumbing company (apparently) named for the owner, Dick so-and-so, with both men and women proudly proclaiming how much they love Dick.
I guess in these days of butt-crack deodorant ads, anything goes.
In Houston, we’ve got a law firm named Dick Law Firm. I’m not joking.
The ads for WE tv’s Life After Lockup are so annoying, my wife mutes them whenever they’re on.
There’s some “health” product called Fruities and Veggies. Each category in its own bottle.
They have several different commericals, but one I saw a few days ago skeeved me right out. This guy who looked like a televangelist was talking about how healthy fruits and veggies are. They’re natural! Well, so is arsenic. They’re from god! Although he does say you may have some other supernatural entity to blame, er, credit. But it’s so dumb. You can’t be getting the same health benefits from swallowing some capsules as you do from eating fresh fruit and vegetables. Just a dumb product.
But it’s just the creepy vibe that really got to me.
News story found on Yahoo. T-mobile is buying Mint .
No more Ryan met cute in a field, daddy knows best, awkward family Commercals??? Oh happy days
From a New York Times article on the purchase of Mint Mobile, “Mr. Reynolds will continue in his creative role for the brand.” I think that means he’ll still be in the commercials.
Every commercial for every show on WE (other than L&O!) is so horrible, I start hearing my dad’s voice coming out of my mouth, “Who watches this crap?!”
