But what about that shit anti-lock braking system on that goddamn Mercedes? 
That’s just on Santa’s car. The ones he gives to good boys and girls everywhere have properly working ABS. (It’s like the cobbler’s children who have no shoes.)
OK, this isn’t annoying but it does amuse me. Just saw a commercial for the upcoming movie, “Welcome to Marwen”. The voice-over narration begins, “The ground-breaking director of Forrest Gump brings you the most original film of the year.” And then later, “Based on an inspirational true story”.
And it’s not just based on a true story, but also on a documentary from a few years ago.
So a somewhat fluid use of the word “original”.
There’s an L.L. Bean commercial where the parents move all their Christmas crap outside, leaving their kids to think everything has been stolen until one of the little scamps spots the tree in the backyard, and they all run out of the house S H R I E K I N G. What a lovely early morning Christmas treat for the neighbors. :smack:
Yes, that one’s a real eye-roller.
And I assume that whoever thought it up has never lived where it snows, and therefore assumes snow is warm fluffy dry stuff. The reality is that it will melt into a muddy mess soaking into the lovely wrapping paper and getting all the gifts wet and dirty.
And if it’s actually cold enough that the snow is ‘dry’ and fluffy, it’s too cold for the kids to be bouncing around in it in their PJs.
True. (I was picturing a firepit in the middle of all that, melting the slush, but may have misremembered.)
That one actually pisses me off in a very mundane way. I want to see the version where he says “Great! Let me when you’re picking up the sheets of drywall to finish the basement from Home Depot in your pickup.”
Sorry, but I see 9 Mercedes travelling at high speed on a snow covered road that slam on the brakes and all stop in a perfectly straight line.
And dogs do not normally need to have their butts wiped.The fire pit in the commercial (not a real pit, it’s one of those metal bowl-shaped things people in the suburbs put in their backyards to start small fires) looked a bit over-stoked, and the wind was blowing the flames to one side; realistically, I don’t think anyone would want to get close enough to it to get slush on their shoes and clothes.
I got one from our local market for Black (Brack) Friday - this one played many times x/hour in the week prior - my apologies if it becomes an ear worm. So annoying.
Here is another over played Black Friday one from GMC. If the dude has enough money to by 2 new GMCs, he should have enough cajones to tell his irritating wife “No, sorry hunny, that one is MINE, this one is for you. Get out of my truck!”
But henpecked husbands are so cute! And so 50s. Ugh.
Now, I saw the important point was that HE was the one who would get the SUV, meaning HE was the one who would have to ferry all their kids and their friends to school, music lessons, after school sports, on and on. 
I can’t stand the Apple Share Your Gifts commercial. I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be saying, I wasn’t even sure on the first viewing what it was for (only the brief Apple logos gives it away).
This link is for a three minute version which goes into a lot more detail, but the 30 second one that actually gets shown on TV is inscrutable. My wife and I couldn’t even agree if it was supposed to be a man or woman. Apparently, I must not be the only one, because I could not find the short version anywhere.
As I have noted before, I buy Apple products despite the commercials, not because of them.
Y’all Slingers is weird! Get off mah TV!
One of my friends had a sinus infection and part of the treatment was using a Neti Pot to heal and prevent reinfection. He got me to try it (the kit is less than $20) and it really does feel good once you’re used to it. I don’t do it every day, but when my sinuses start acting up, it’ helps prevent a major attack.
BTW, snorting water from the faucet or shower isn’t a good idea, it might actually cause or worsen an infection because of bacteria in the supply. When you do sinus irrigation, you’re warned to use either distilled water (not just purified) or boiled water that’s been allowed to cool before use.
Sorry if this has been posted before, but any commercial that has everyday sounds in it like phones ringing or beeps. There’s one for needle less diabetic blood tester and if I’m not focused on the TV (which is often), I think something in my place running low on battery power. The worse are vibrating phone sounds which makes me check the phone on my desk.
And any radio commercial with honking horns should be banned. Good way to distract me into to looking in my mirror to see if it’s someone behind me!
Any commercial that opens with someone sitting there ready to strum a guitar is silenced at near light speed. There are about 3 or 4 of them recently. The one with Payton Manning traveling in a bus with a country singer is a damn series. That guy may have played good football but he is annoying on a whole new level just by himself let alone the fact he tries to get the guy to play.

Huh? Peyton Manning is a natural at comedic salesmanship. And that “country singer” is Brad Paisley, one of the best guitar players and performers in the past 30 years. Commercials with Peyton Manning are the cream of an admitingly bad crop. This one doesn’t deserve to be in this thread.
It’s not just stupid, it’s GEICO stupid.
Manning wore out his welcome with that “chicken parmy” crap.
