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...

Subaru-- Young couple are looking for a nature trail on a map in a country store, and a blind guy tells them "You can't find it on a map, but I can take you there". Driving there he tells them to turn left here, and when they get there tells them "if you listen closely you can hear the whales". I know Hollywood would have us believe all blind people get magical Daredevil like powers that allow them to do everything sighted people can, but BLIND PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE WHEN RIDING IN A CAR! In my version they turn left and go off a cliff.

McDonalds-- Black teenager runs into McDonalds with a letter from a college he applied to and hands it to the manager. The manager gathers the whole staff around as he opens and reads it (can the applicant not read?), leaving the cars in the drive through waiting for their burgers and fries. Everyone waits in suspense as he opens it and they find out he is accepted and everyone cheers. But what if he's rejected, and totally humiliated in front of the whole staff?

So what ads irritate you?

Any and all Liberty Insurance commercials, especially the ones where the lady insults her kid by talking about him in the third person, humiliating him, telling us about his accident. And then the one where the lady says, “You totaled your car. You named it Brad . . . “

Who is the total ass who writes these things?

Excessive mixed race couples. Guy is the dufus father/husband/employee, wife is much smarter, (female)kids smarter still. Burglars are always white guys. My Pillow guy wears the same shirt every day...

It seems like 2/3 of them have ths gawdawful chick singer with a breathy, screetchy voice.

Across the board, Liberty Insurance commercials stink and also are misleading (Replacement Insurance is a OPTIONAL coverage which means when the guy says “that isn’t your policy means you should change companies” should change companies.

Need I also mention “Is this a lug wrench?”

And I have hated every Doritos commercial for the last 5 years.

Actually I find some of the Flo commercials kind of funny. “Pumpernickel”, “Triceratops” and “I don’t see a possum” all got a chuckle.

Old but “l’m Cal Worthington and here’s my dog spot” the dog would be anything from Girrafe to a Rinocerous. Then he had a little ditty that would drive you nuts.

It was an automobile dealership in Huntinington Beach California. Circa 1980. It played on late night and every 5 minutes.
