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...
omg! lol!
I also hate the Liberty Mutual commercials where people look into the camera and lecture you about how other insurance companies will only pay you X dollars or won't cover certain things but Liberty Mutual will, as if its better. The one has a woman saying you totaled your car and your insurance company will only pay you 75% of value. She exclaims "what are you going to do -- buy three quarters of a car?!?!?" That commercial is stupid beyond belief. Full replacement policies cost more. Deductible policies cost less. Liberty Mutual thinks consumers are too stupid to understand that.
Oh, and I hate the Wayfair "drop the mic" commercials too. As if going on a spending spree is an accomplishment.
“JG Wentworth - Boy Band autotuning about having a cash settlement but needing cash now. AHHHHH!”
I hate all the Wentworth commercials but THAT ONE makes me want to take the 12 gauge to the tv.
If I ever run into that Wentworth guy one of us won’t survive the encounter.
His commercials should be considered Cruel and Unusual Punishment.
Forget the death penalty.
Broadcast those commercials to prisoners 24/7 and they will be volunteering for a seat on Ol Sparky.
It was an automobile dealership in Huntinington Beach California. Circa 1980. It played on late night and every 5 minutes.
Long Beach.
Maybe you DIDN'T hear it enough times. ;)
The one where the young women are wondering if they forgot to take their pill. Shows how low our culture has become.
‘The Shriner’s commercial offering the “adorable blanket”.’
you mean the ‘adowable bwanket’...?
Nope, he changed dealerships several times. He even had one in National City way south in San Diego ‘Mile of cars’.
Since the introduction of what we call the clacker my tv does not get commercials. The big problem is that the stations are in “collusion” with each other and the commercials are all run at the same time. We call it a conspiracy. But I keep changing any way and it drives my wife nuts. But she has learned to live with it.
And she never gets promoted.
>>”YOWWWWWWLLLLLL! OHHHHHH! YOWLLLLLLLLLL!!!”<<
Oh crap, THAT’S HER!!
The cause is wonderful the spokeskid is nauseating.
But the kid is cute.
My Pillow. . . relentless and stupid.
‘Who the heck says, “Your guys?”
he should’ve said ‘on your part, guys’, but then we’d be bitching about him calling his parents ‘guys’...
kind of reminds me of that idiot Chip Gaines and his ‘y’all’s all in budget’...
Oh yes!
I could suggest a “product placement “ for that advert.
Choice Hotels: Badda Book Badda Boom
The latest trend seems to be having men in the homemaker role, so all the household items being advertised show a man using them. There’s one where the woman comes home from work and he’s made her dinner.
I’m glad I don’t work in advertising, I’d go nuts with the extreme PC attitudes.
Who has a structured settlement but needs cash NOW!?
The VW one now being shown during the hockey playoffs. They play Joe Cocker at Woodstock singing the drug anthem “with a little help from my friends”. This is lauded and applauded in this modern culture. But a pro-life or NRA ad is decried.
It shows how far we have fallen.
‘who just need to tell us all how they gave up watching and how utterly great they all are.’
preach it, brother...they’re worse than the damn commercials...
