I think I may have mentioned this before but the one who really annoys me in that commercial is the woman who is so damned upset that someone paid less than she did for something. ---

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > Yes. Down with all commercials that contain sentient internal organs. I do like the cartoon with the little black cloud of depression following a woman around like a dog. It’s for some remedy for intractible depression, and the black cloud never goes away. It’s smaller, and at a distance, but it’s still there. ---

Although that might have been a mylanta commercial.[/Fry] Futurama aside, that liveraid commercial with the talking liver is pretty creepy. ---

The [Cars.com](http://Cars.com) ad with the “Drama/No Drama” theme, the one with the [guy French-kissing his hand puppet](http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7pdm/cars-com-first-date), was amusing (if creepy)…once. After 40-50 times, I now hope that next time, he’ll choke on puppet lint. ---

Any commercial where someone says “Whaaattt??” in a rising tone. I mean, that never was funny. Also fist bumps with sound effects immediately afterwards. You know who you are. Now, stop it. And don’t say"Whaaaatt?" ---

After 40-50 times, I now hope that next time, he’ll choke on puppet lint. Are you watching the NCAAs? Because I have to admit that ad has been aired quite a bit. That beng said, I do find myself oddly attracted to the woman in that ad (however, not to the point of making a hand puppet clone of her). ---

I keep getting the latest Always “Like a Girl” ad on YouTube. Featuring girls complaining about the lack of female emojis despite the fact that you can download other damn packs to add variety to your pictographic language. [Here’s the video.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3BjUvjOUMc) ---

> [@RivkahChaya](#): > > It should be called “Constant Breeder.” [“Uterus Cannon.”](https://youtu.be/_8jeuYMHX9Y) Looks like those asinine commercials from the American Society of Orthopedic Surgeons (?) are back. In one commercial, the child is playing a Super Nintendo and using a flip phone. Who do they think they’re kidding? Is the commercial that old? Dating site commercials are the worst, but the one for the cougar site really takes the cake – a desperate, not really older woman strolling around a bar and smugly assaulting and/or insulting the younger women. And another vote for that University of Phoenix commercial. “Still don’t think I’ve got a brain?” Well, it’s pretty doubtful if you actually handed money over to that place… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/commercials-currently-annoying-you/744655.md?page=11) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/commercials-currently-annoying-you/744655.md?page=13)
