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?

Anything with loud eating, crunching , and slurping.

It's rude, not advertising.

Most commercials drive me nuts but lately it is the LIBERTY MUTUAL commercials that have me grabbing the remote.

The Shriners commercials with Alec the wonder kid man oh man oh man I can’t tell you the number of times I almost shoed my tv...

And the various wounded veterans beg-a-thons, man how many places do we have to have ANOTHER save-the-vet commercial?

The only person that I hate more than Flo is Jamie.

Jamie’s radio commercials make me want to... Never mind.

i pre-record everything and skip commercials ... except a very few of the clever and funny ones ... most commercials are dumber than dirt, but a few are genuinely attention-getting ...

Hate most commercials. However, on a thread about something on TV, we seem to get all the medal 🥇 of honor posters who just need to tell us all how they gave up watching and how utterly great they all are. Of course I’m sure their names are written just before the pearly gates, so they will be able to skip ahead to the front of the line.

I wonder why so many companies advertise with mixed race couples now. I would think they would not want controversial ads. I know we don’t buy anything advertised like that. I would go out tomorrow and get a home security system if that company would advertise a black home invader in their piece.

A train powered by little, pill shaped liquorish candies? It's inconceivable!

I would like to see both Flo from Progressive and Paul from Sprint hung or shot on live tv. Does that say something bad about me?

The one where the young women are wondering if they forgot to take their pill. Shows how low our culture has become.

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.

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.
