The new Pizza Hut commercial with the whiny homesick alien.
Oh FFS someone decided to bring back the Pepto Bismol diarrhea dance. >.<
I knew this one would end up here soon.
I get distracted when the alien starts with “your children know such great hiding places.”
Dafuq you hunting little children for?

The iced tea/Ice-T/lemonade GEICO commercial was mildly amusing the first couple of times. Now it’s incredibly annoying.
Not really liking the hipster doofus singing about how great it is that the Surface Pro comes with a pen that lets you write on the screen (unlike a Mac). You know what would be really great? Explaining why you want to do that. I’m sure there are some nifty applications, but what they seem to do in the commercial is scribble on the screen like a kid with a crayon. Whee! Excel is so much more fun!
Any and all political commercials, regardless of who (or what) they are for (or against). Nothing makes me race for the remote faster, every last one is terrible or annoying. Or most likely terribly annoying.
I must be watching the wrong channels. The only political ad I’ve seen was the “Benghazi” one from the NRA in support of Trump.
I live in TX. I think both candidates figure it’s a done deal here. All that by way of saying that I don’t recall any political ads in my area.
I used to think this ad for Stanton Optical was the most obnoxious commercial ever, not just because of the noise but because they ran it twice a commercial break all freaking day long during daytime tv. But now they’ve come out with this one, which they also run twice a break all day long.
Around here, and I’m guessing it’s not unique, there’s been a huge uptick in billboards triumphantly toting ER wait times at this or that local hospital.
This CAN’T be effective advertising, can it? Does anyone, when they need emergency care, give ANY consideration to a billboard with electronic wait time indicators?
Or do you go to the hospital that’s CLOSEST, the one you have some direct experience with, the one your doc is at, etc?

Thanks to a certain allergy medication, I am now aware that six is greater than one.
The “stink-face” commercials. I have a stink-face every time I see them, can’t hit 30-sec skip fast enough.
man this whole campaign is so awkward it makes me uncomfortable. the one where they’re going to describe their reactions to chevy cars-- BUT IN EMOJI! and the members of the focus group are all like, “OMG EMOJI HAHA THAT’S SO UNUSUAL AND SUPER FUN!” just makes me cringe
I just don’t understand how those people can be so happy and chirpy and just so damned delighted to be in a car commercial. Or how they can be that excited about either the cars or the elevator, all of which are fairly standard items in the year of our grace 2016. I’m guessing that out of the shot, there’s a craft services table loaded with Chardonnay and bowls of ecstasy.
I have always figured the elevator is just CG anyway (who would build that just for a commercial? But, maybe it exists already for something else…) so her “amazement” is at nothing visible to her anyway.
And (so far) I like the pizza loving homesick alien. But since they show it during baseball games, which means I see it about 10 times a game, I’m sure it will get annoying fast. Just like poor, misunderstood Ice-T.
I assume they are all actors (who can’t actually “act”). So the effect of the commercial is lost on me. And right now, Chevy makes absolutely nothing I’d buy (what did they do to the Corvette? It looks like the Batmobile, and not in a good way) so the whole series is just noise.
I had a Malibu as a rental car. I couldn’t believe what a poor car it was. What happened, oh my company that made stylish Camaros and Novas and Corvettes and Chevelles (and even Vegas! :eek:) and C10 pickups? Where did you go?
But if they really are real people, I weep for the future. People who talk in emojis! People that believe the moderator really put their phone in a wood chipper! People who can’t tell the building they are in is moving! Are y’all that stupid?
The commercial where eating a Milky Way makes you so stupid you mess up your work, like misspelling a tattoo.
Not just that it makes you stupid, but that it makes you a douchebag.
I seriously wanted to pop that valley-girl tattoo artist (“Duh! I was eating a MILKY WAY!”) in the teeth for the way she talked to her client. Not the thing to make me want to buy their products.
And I wanna kick that smarmy dude in his tiny balls. Hard.
The one I truly hate is the one where they destroy people’s phones, see them get mad, and ask “How does it feel to be not connected?”
I, personally, don’t give a damn about being “not connected” for a few hours (or even much much longer). It’s the destruction of hundreds of dollars of personal property that’s the problem.
