> [@Aspenglow](#): > > Dairy Queen’s new Royal Blizzard spot where a bunch of kids are singing the word, “What?” off-key over and over again. If I break a finger reaching fast for the remote to mute this one, it will be a worthwhile trade-off to save my ears. Eeeuuuuggghhh!!! Those are not kids, most of them are grown ass adults. ---

“[5 minutes without the Internet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cssx0ihF6To)…” “10 minutes without the Internet…” etc. This family absolutely _loses their shit_ because their internet is out. These people need professional psychiatric help. (Ever heard of books?) ---

> [@movingfinger](#): > > That horrible woman is back, smashing some poor defenseless pretzels with a big book. Snyder’s pretzels? You really shouldn’t talk about such pretzels as though they’re innocent victims. They’re the worst. Except for every other pretzel that’s hard. My eyes were opened years ago. Pretzels are meant to be eaten _soft_. And preferably _warm_. Once they’re cold and hard, they’re fit for nothing _except_ being smashed to bits. And then the bits should be thrown away. But the thing that makes Snyder’s the worst is the fact that they let wonderful, doughy, sour sourdough get all stale and hard and inedible; _and they do it on purpose!_ Those monsters. ---

“Tell me I can’t wrestle because I’m a girl, tell me I can’t be a girl because I’m a wrestler” No, how about you tell me what your defensive little rant has to do with the shitty diploma factory this commercial is supposedly advertising. Better yet don’t because I’ve already muted you. ---

> [@panache45](#): > > And then there’s the MyPillow guy, who claims to be the “invenchur” of MyPillow. Man, if you can’t pronounce a word like “inventor,” how good could your pillow be? This is comparable to George Foreman’s ad for “Inveneeaah.” Are advertising budgets so tight that they can’t do a second take if the person mispronounces a word . . . especially the name of the product? And the pillow sucks as well. I asked for the “side sleeper” model for my birthday – it’s your basic Dollar Store piece of lumpy shite (fortunately, it wasn’t my only prezzie :D). ---

The stupid Chevy commercial being played to death during the Olympics where the cars keep coming up out of the floor on some sort of lift. “Real people, not actors” or some such crap. It reminds me of the dumbest reality shows (Tornado Road comes to mind. I never even heard of it until 2:30 AM today when I clicked on the TV because I couldn’t sleep) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/latest-most-irritating-commercial-on-tv/742926.md?page=7)
