I also hate advertisements on TV and Rado that repeat the phone number three or more times.

If I’m interested I will get it the first time or at most the second time. If I miss it I will wait for the next time it is presented.
Somewhere in “commercial presentation school”, someone has suggested that “three times is the charm” and now it is the general dictate for all advertisement. Head-on is prime example of this premise.
And then, there are the commercials that play in quick succession. Those irritating Dr. Z commericals (Chrysler), for some reason, tend to play in a 2-3 repeat loop during breaks in sporting events. Dr. Z has to be one of the most irritating characters on TV.
