That reminds me of this one where I just want to smack those screaming brats.

It just occurred to me that I haven’t seen the coffee + [unintentionally?] implied incest commercial this year. Did Folger’s finally realize the commercial was a bit off?
No, but there’s a MacDonald’s(?) commercial that shows a split screen with a young boy on one side and a young girl on the other. He bounces a basketball off his screen and she picks it up, and they do some other slightly flirtatious behavior, then he hands her a chicken mcnugget and slides over onto her side of the screen and it turns out to be her dad.
OK, I know they were trying to be heart-warming, but the interpretation of the previous interactions as flirtatious gives it sort of an oogy feeling. Or maybe it’s just me.
What’s with these super-annoying E*trade commercials (yes, there are others)? Who had the lame idea that the way to attract new customers is to annoy the hell out of them? If I already had an account with them, I’d pull my money out immediately.
There’s some commercial Reese’s is running about some combined Peanut Butter Cup/Pieces thing. I’m not 100% sure that’s what it is, because the noise that starts playing when the commercial comes on is so awful I’d rather rip my ears off than listen to it.
Along the same vein
“Did you or a loved one experience spontaneous bleeding after taking XYZ blood thinner?
Call us today to sue”
Wait what?
It’s a blood thinner, of course there is the risk of bleeding.
I’ll join the chorus from earlier in the thread, and say I absolutely hate the Sonic commercials, with those two idiots in the care. I always change the channel or lower the sound.
This is it. It is definitely as annoying as hell.
The Dole fruit cup commercials with the drinkers versus drainers makes me all stabby with the smugness of the ‘drinkers’.
“Oh, they’re drainers.”
“We don’t drain it, we drink it!” sip

WARNING: TURN YOUR SOUND OFF BEFORE CLICKING LINK
Or even just don’t click, it’s not a particular good or notable commercial other than the audio disaster.
Wonder if that Reese’s commercial was created by the same group responsible for this monstrosity.
Because you didn’t want to spend $2000 a month for car insurance?
Because regular insurance only covers the value of the car at the time of the accident, not the cost to buy a new car. That’s the “gap” that gap insurance is covering.
Say you buy a new 2017 car, and get insurance to cover it. Great, but just driving the car off the lot gave you depreciation - loss in value of the car. Now drive the car for five years. The value of the car drops. Now have a car accident. The car is worth $5000 but to buy a new car is going to cost you ~ $20,000.
But that brings up Liberty Mutual, and their “You picked the wrong insurance plan. No, I picked the wrong insurance company.” “With Liberty Mutual full cost plan, …” Wait, is full cost in every Liberty Mutual plan, or is that a special feature? Because if it’s a special feature, then it’s exactly like the other insurance company that offered you “gap insurance” that you didn’t take.
Yep, annoying. Maybe they think “blaze” means travel it really fast or something?

Now, has anyone seen the Squatty Potty commerical?
[/QUOTE]Vomit. Okay, I like the cartoon for showing why the Squatty Potty is helpful, but the beginning of the ad has a unicorn pooping rainbow icecream into cones. GAH!
The Christmas one starts with a train set, then the kid imagining herself driving the train, then looking over to see a car driving next to the train, then the camera follows the car as it drives away from the train track. WTF? The girl is now imaging herself flying over the car?
Navigation is in the back seat because it is running “in the background” on the phone. But when the battery alert goes off, she has to turn off the music app to save power. Ergo, Ariana gets the boot.
“Dump cakes” are what I learned as a quick and easy cobbler recipe. You put a bucket of fruit pie filling in the bottom, then spread the cake mix over it, then add a hint of moisture (we used butter). Bake.
She seems to be selling a recipe book for dump cakes, which seems really stupid, as it’s all basically the same thing. But she’s not selling some “Dump cake” mix.
Sounds like “Jack FM” in our area. It’s a radio station using computer program to select music, no live DJs. So the commercial is talking to Jack as if he’s a person. 
What I love about the ad, you can take Viagra with you now. So we see the happy couple going onto a cruise ship for a week long ride, and he’s taking a single pack. What, does he only want one boner the whole trip?
Here’s one that annoys the piss out of me. It’s a local car dealership ad, that says:
“Everyone has enough to worry about. A car shouldn’t be one of them.”
Drives me batty every time.
The American Beauty pasta ad where they talk about all of the good things about America, and American wheat is “one of them”. Shouldn’t it be American wheat is “some of them”? Wheat isn’t a countable noun.
There’s a radio commercial on the air in my area where some idiot says (paraphrased) “I’d like to buy something, but I’ll pay you in three days.” The store owner says “no.” And then the first person says “But that’s what credit cards do.” It then goes on to sell some kind of service where you get paid right away rather than waiting.
This leaves me screaming at the radio “the problem isn’t with the amount of time it takes to get money. it is because I don’t trust you’ll come back with the money in three days, you twit. VISA is going to pay me. Some smart ass off the street that I’ve never seen before who is trying to get me to delay payment for three days without the offer of collateral is almost assuredly not.”
“I have no idea what’s in this Sea-weed wrap…”
Really? It’s fucking sea-weed, you twat!
I just heard a commercial for Fidelity Investments and I’ll be damned if that isn’t A Message to You Rudy by The Specials playing in the background (a ska cover of an older Dandy Livingstone rocksteady song). They tied it into the commercial for their financial services by playing the line “Better think of your future!” But not the next line “Or else you’ll wind up in jail.”
So we’ve reached the point where a rocksteady song about a Rude Boy delinquent in the poverty-laden streets of Trenchtown, Jamaica is being used to promote diversifying your investment portfolio. Lovely.
Plus it’s a wrap, not something she’s going to put into her body, like the vitamins she’s shilling.
Not hateable as much as baffling.
Starbucks using “Stay With Me” on a commercial where they show how they have good social programs.
The song is about someone begging a one night stand to spend the whole night rather than taking off right away. It’s not exactly clear why I want to associate that with Starbucks and/or community service.
The “countable” noun here is “things”. American wheat is one of those things.
Here’s the pasta ad. She actually says “American wheat is one of the best in the world.” Nope, that’s still wrong.
