TV commercials that drive you nuts
vanity

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...

Most of the Liberty Insurance commercials. What I find most funny is Liberty and others pushing roadside assistance, i.e. changing a flat tire. We have truly raised a generation of Snowflakes if the they can’t even master changing a flat tire.

If I had called my father to come help change a flat tire he would have hung the phone up on me and laughed.

I also am getting burned out on The General Insurance commercials and also the pushing of burial insurance, that is a real downer to watch.

It’s so stupid I had to look up what company it is...

There are a lot of commercials & billboards that are attention grabbers, yet you have no recollection of exactly what they were trying to sell!

I remember a poster with a cute blond in a 'Daisey Mae' outfit, standing on a stump and holding a chainsaw. After thinking for years that it was an ad for "Brides for Lonely Loggers" poster, I finally realized that she was trying to sell Husquevarna saws!

Surprise, surprise!

I quit watching TV in 1978. I recommend everyone else do the same.

Too later for that. 1978 is already past.

There has never been a commercial more annoying than those we are inundated with during political campaigns. I’m of the opinion that, Hillary’s ads attacking Trump turned everybody off. But, all political ads are super-annoying and insulting to our intelligence.

All the commercials when both blacks and whites are in them and they ALWAYS make the whites look like the incompetent, unsuccessful buffoons who don’t know anything and always make the wrong choices. And , of course, the black couples/families are portrayed as the opposite.

There used to be a local Chevrolet dealer whose son made pretty good commercials.
He would have season/holiday themed ads. Sometimes he would dress as a clown, rubber nose and all.

His thing was advertising Chevettes for $49 down and $129/month.
Then
BUT WAIT! YOU WANTED A TRUCK!
NO PROBLEM!
Then the S10 for the same price.

He once ran an any trade welcome ad that had people pushing rustbuckets onto the lot and wreckers towing total junk heaps in while he handed out money to them.
His ads were always humorous and he didn’t take himself seriously.

Now there is a dealer in Roanoke, VA trying the same schtick but he feels he has to SCREAM EVERY WORD OVER AND OVER.
Not content to make himself look like a doofus he has his daughter on every commercial and SHE SCREAMS TOO.
His commercials start in late prime time and run overnight.

I....Will...Never...Buy...A...Car...From...Him.
His commercials infuriate that much.

Flo from progressive insurance made us stop watching TV. Thanks to her fake smile and greasy hair I got rid of cable TV. She was the straw that broke my back.

The worst ad ever turned into a greatest ad for us.

“All the late night phone sex ads.”

Have you seen the Adam and Eve adult toys ads?

Whomever came up with that ad should be taken out and shot.


Agreed. And that is the vaccine with the least chance of positive effect and the most chance of permanent damage.

Ditto. Kars for Kids is stupid. And after doing a bit of research, it’s my opinion that the organization is stupid as well.
