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...
Heard a while back the company was being investigated for fraud, not sure what happened with that
The commercial where the black woman is throwing all of a wimpy white guy’s things out a window as he stands there watching and not even trying to catch anything.
You are right about the Dad in that kid/parent ad. I looked at the Dad to see if he is even paying attention. He is, but says nothing.
Yes on Progressive Flo!!!
I have noticed the interacial couples too. My most hated ad is the pillow dude.

They aren’t simply directed at people with low IQ, the idea is to increase the number of people with low IQ.
This has been working really, really well, obvious to anyone who has been paying attention.
I hate the two Sonic dufuses.
Whenever that idiot comes on with "What do they want you to do - drive two-thirds of a car?" I yell back at the TV: "No, they want you to read your bleeping policy!"
The relatively few TV commercials I’ve seen, shows as well, will certainly not do anything to RAISE IQs.
Agreed. Especially the "don't take Ambival if you are allergic to the ingredients in Ambival" ... eh, how are you going to find out?
I do love the description of all the possible side effects including death. And then they show some more footage of people happily doing useless things. Yeah, I'll take that stuff - sign me up so I can decorate cupcakes for another 6 months until the stuff kills me.
I DID love all the E*Trade babies, though! What idiot changed that genius idea?! Now they are forgettable.
You'd think that creep would have saved enough money by now to buy a freaking razor ...
And why do they think we automatically are going to believe somebody more when they wear a black t-shirt and a black jacket over it. That Silicon Valley guru outfit is so cliche and so old ...
I remember those, and I haven’t seen or heard his commercials in 43 years!
HERE’S CAL WORTHINGTON AND HIS DOG SPOT!
If you want a better deal go see cal...
While walking a pig, a caged lion, wingwalking on an airplane...
Go see cal go see Cal, go see Cal...
As bad as the LINDA SOUNDTRACK adverts from 30 years ago, Tulsa Oklahoma..
The mere fact that so many here (including me) have mentioned the commercials by name shows the commercials ARE WORKING!
Yes maybe , but how many people are actually going to Liberty? Of course I see a lot for The General so I guess they are getting new customers. But a lot seem to hate those commercials.
Haven’t gone through all the posts yet. There are so many.
One that makes me crazy, though, is the Skippy one where the kid is dipping stuff directly into the jar. Uh, is he going to eat the whole jar? Cuz, no one else should be. It just grosses me out.
Hate all of the Liberty insurance ones. When you sign up for auto insurance, you choose what coverage you want. smh
Cannot stand any Progressive or Geico ads. Automatic remote change.
THIS. Yeah, I always go to the drive-through fast food place to sit and chat with a friend while holding cheeseburgers next to our faces until they get cold.
Well, kind of. I make a note of the annoying ones and cross them off of my list to do business with.
Do Not Taunt Happy Fun Ball!
