+ Avalon Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Although "The Amazing Race" is my favorite reality show I hate the Travelocity gnome. Thus I would rather watch the show the next day on CBS All Access without commercials rather than watch the show "live" and have to endure the Travelocity gnome commercials!

Kevin Slater Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I don't think I've seen a tv commercial in maybe a decade. What with streaming services, disks, torrenting, dvrs, etc. I simply don't watch live broadcast tv.

samandtham Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Are YouTube ads included? Because both Purple mattress ads (the raw egg test and the sasquatch) make me grate my teeth. I can't click on the "Skip Ad" button fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonman Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Sometimes it's the voices. Like that horrid scratchy-voiced Rachael Ray and her dumb-sounding "Nutrish" dog food. Or that scratchy-voiced woman (or young girl? can't tell) who does the voice-overs for Panera Bread. Or, any commercial where they think it's cute to get ordinary, tone-deaf folks to try to sing. (Subaru was a huge offender of that over Christmas with all those idiots trying to squeak out a few bars of "Put A Little Love In Your Heart.") Speaking of Subaru - what the hell is their whole "love" thing all about? ("Love is what makes a Subaru a Subaru" and all that nonsense) Recurring characters - is anyone sick of Flo and her twinky idiot sidekick Jamie? (And the fact that they've all but abandoned the actual product - Progressive Insurance - in favor of stupid ads about stupid Jamie...) + g56whiz, samhexum and MiamiLooker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Hoover42 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Any pharmaceutical commercial advertising a product which may result in death. I think that covers just about all of them, right? Maybe Claritin is exempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nvr2Thick Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Burger King. The statue-king was creepy, and when they photograph the food it always looks off. I always thought the King was kind of hot. Maybe it was the not-so-vague homoeroticism of the original "Wake Up with the King" commercials for that character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boink Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I hate this commercial. It's from the 'perfect life' genre' and it's just so precious. An elderly couple who wisely saved for their retirement their whole lives can now afford to dig up a huge tree and deliver it to another town to plant in their own yard just because they carved their initials in it in their youth. So heartwarming. So idiotic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Fo8uRQXvgA Nvr2Thick and + azdr0710 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruthBTold Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) There is a recent Closet Works commercial which consists of a little girl complaining about how her life is so disorganized (particularly her shoe collection) that she is going crazy and that her parents need to buy her a closet system. Her voice pushes me to the brink. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_6bSVr8bP0 Edited July 8, 2018 by TruthBTold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

img2ciya Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I can't stand the Trivago commercials. Mostly it's their spokesperson, but I also think it's annoying that they present themselves as something new when Kayak has been doing the same thing for years.

Gadfly22 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 OMG so many. Geico and Progressive have to be the worst if for no other reason the sheer volume of them, not to mention the fact that they have become totally inane. Any commercial that presents children as authoritative or all knowing. Thinking of the one with the little girl as a car salesman. Forgot which brand it was pushing - which is a lesson I suppose for the creators. That awful weepy facebook commercial where they say "we came to make friends and find people like ourselves and we got pop-ups and fake news". Boo-freakin-hoo. No mention that they stole your personal information and profited from it. (and still are, I don't believe anything they say) samhexum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
