OK, what TV commercials really bug you? Make you want to scream at the TV every time you see them? Leaving aside the stupid dads and always white burglars, here's a couple that I see all the time lately...
My Pillow and every add ever produced for PCMatic
I wish I could give you ten thumbs up.
LOL LOL LOL
Yes!! He’s so annoying!
It’s bada book.
Is Reba crazy?
Everybody? ...or just the women you know?

You too? When I see that stupid thing, I shout, "Why???"
On ad that we simply cannot watch and promptly turn the channel is the ASPCA ad which show the unwanted, neglected animals and their injuries. Unable to sit through these, makes you cry
Most of the ads are trying to hype much more than the product.
They are doing the exact same thing as most movies or television shows.
It is simple Pavlovian conditioning. See a really pretty 95 pound girl whip a 230 lbs brute. The first time, it seems odd. After seeing it several thousand times one begins to wonder if beautiful 95 lb. girls really are that tough.
Even worse, some 110 lb. girls begin to think they can do it too.
They are not just showing a different world, they are creating one. If 70% of all couples you see are Black/White you begin to think that is the way it should be. Note I did not say inter-racial as all races are not shown. Just about all of them are Black Male/White female.
I haven’t watched TV, don’t own one, since Aug, 2008.
On occasion I have watched TV briefly while eating at a place that has TVs for the customers. My opinion of the commercials, and TV in general, is that they a waste of time and are directed at folks with very low IQs.
Pretty much every commercial made in the last 10 years. Every ad is hyper-PC. You can’t risk offending anyone, oh except elderly people, it’s ok to make fun of them, like that stupid E-Trade (?) commercial where older people have to work until they’re 85, and it’s just so hilarious /sarc
This is a great venting thread, thank you.
Seeing kids being used to beg for money by some hospital organization is okay once or twice. But Fox runs the same thing during The Five day after day after day. Enough is enough. I fast forward through it with alacrity.
Thanks to my DVR-fu, though, I actually watch very few commercials at all. Ambulance-chasing lawyers and catheter suppliers are now seldom seen.
You nailed it. I love the term “virtue signaling”. Wanted to press the “like” button.
Do they still have TV? Really?
I overlook the ad...’cuz she like nice guys and she’s REALLY cute.
Actually, she looks almost identical to my wife, literally the-girl-next-door, who lost a battle to breast cancer at 28 many, many moons ago.
So Courtney brings back some memories....

Lowest common denominator... Market to the morons, and you will never go bankrupt.
Those “love has no labels” commercials were awful. Just a gay agenda fest.
Yeah, Mrs. Hugin makes me immediately change the channel when those come on. I also hate the Save the Children commercials filmed with a hand-cam to make it look like they are rescuing kids from a combat zone. In reality STC picks up rafts full of Muslims off the coast Libya and ferries them to Italy.
