NO!
I think he comes across like he thinks he’s “Mr. Suave”. “Yes, I know I’m awesome, and I get more chicks than you.”
And the shits is, he probably does…
We unplugged our cable and only stream for years now. Therefore, we are thankfully spared commercials with the exception on a minute before a YouTube video now and then.
Last week we vacationed with my parents and brother’s family, who are accustomed to having the TV on constantly.
Which commercials are annoying? All of them.
Annoying commercial already mentioned but, somehow, found a way to make their commercials infinitely more ire inducing: Liberty insurance’s ads with people who don’t know how insurance works lecturing us on it has added a ‘tag line’ or stinger to the end. It is the very same commercial with Brad the car or driving on three wheels only they’ve added “Liberty, liberty, li -ber -ty” at the end. Hoping perhaps for something as pervasive as “like a good neighbor, Statefarm is there”, I think.
Talking about lecturing. This thread keeps getting interrupted by your friendly neighborhood superior person who is too good to watch bad commercials. Why, I wonder.
Perhaps not annoying, but a little disturbing is this commercial for Gain Flings. Two boys try to prank their dad by dropping a (presumably laundered) jockstrap on the face of their dad (asleep on the sofa). When he’s not bothered by the odor, the older boy sniffs the jockstrap to see why.
Every time this commercial comes on, my DIL yells at the TV, “No! Don’t. . . Ewwwww!”
I saw this commercial over the weekend for the first time, and I thought, “Damn, that’s an Old School jock strap. Does anybody actually wear those anymore?” It looks like something out of an 80s teen movie.
Yeah, I mentioned the Liberty, Liberty, Liiiiberty, Liberty thing already. Who came up with that? Probably the same moron who thought up “Hoooot Pockets”. Your analysis is probably spot on about what they are shooting for, but adding 4 Libertys at the end will never be a Nationwide is on Your Side. 
There’s one running now with a kid whining about her mother washing the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. “What is the dishwasher even for?” she complains as cartoon question marks fill the screen. Well, princess, when you’re old enough to be in charge of the dishes, and you realize how much crud stays in that dishwasher when you put plates and pots caked with food in there, you’ll understand why Mommy needed to at least rinse everything prior to loading the dishwasher. Seriously, the sprayer arms in a dishwasher that doesn’t have a removable filter can get nasty…no detergent is going to prevent that.
If that’s a spellcheck fail, it’s a pretty good one.
When I am elected Grand Dictator of the Planet, I will set aside one day each week on which TV ads for auto insurance companies will be forbidden.
It’ll be more popular than Casual Fridays, guaranteed.
I shoulda typed geezer, :smack:
Or should it be wheezer, since it is a COPD med?
I just saw that, too, and wonder if they sat down a panel of 10 year olds, told them to think up something gross and smelly, and wrote down their answers . How many kids go around sniffing their fathers’ jock straps, anyway? Utter fail and I am making a note of the product to never buy it.
So many commercials make me try to picture the boardroom where the idea was floated and approved. Adds a nice extra layer of WTF.
That Audible commercial has a tune in it being plucked out on a ukulele. I knew I had heard it before, and then it hit me.
I don't know if I love it or hate it for all the feels it gives me.The latest in the never ending and annoying Chevrolet ads has this gem: “Chevrolet has been the most highly promoted brand in the past 12 months.” So I should buy your piece of crap not because it’s a good car, but because you’ve drowned us in your advertising?
A couple of new ones:
1.) An infomercial for those cheap plastic outside lights with solar panels on stakes you can buy anywhere that describes them as “converting energy from the sun to solar energy.”
2.) A Triskets commercial where a total nitwit has trouble pronouncing “non-genetically modified” and then is thrilled to find that is the case for the ingredients, then declares herself to be non-genetically modified.
Hey, AT&T/DirecTV? My thing ain’t for sale! 
I prefer my UIs to be legible, anyway.
How about a radio nomination: 1-877-KARS-4-KIDS. Holy shit, an irritating melody sung by a child with a nails-on-chalkboard voice. I have leaned to turn it off on hearing the first two chords.
That oneused to advertize on television, too. It seems like a pretty questionable charity, BTW.
It’s the way that kid says “today” that really chaps my intergluteal cleft. Donate your car tahdaaaiiiee." Reminds me of Little Red Riding Hood from Bugs Bunny. “Those are some big eye for you. . . TA HAAAAAAVE!”
I was waiting for a youtube video to come on, and this commercial got my attention.
