TV Commercials I’m Hating

The Iams dog food commercial where the boy calls his dog "Duck".

Still hating the chain restaurant commercial where the bad actor with bad timing does not react to his friend dropping his cell phone into the glass of water -- until finally a prolonged reaction when the friend says "I have insurance". Amateurs probably found on craigslist, I swear.

All of the prescription drug commercials! Any commercial with average, homely, ordinary people...anything crude and the excessive female empowerment commercials including the one related to cereal. "Women are amazing". If they're so amazing, why are you selling them genetically modified wheat?

The problem with most current commercials, besides the actual awful concepts, jingles are no longer being written for them. These TV ads rely way too much on already recorded music. Yet these ad agency assholes get paid big bucks to do very little.

Lord almighty, I hate the one where they are talking down to the dog in a baby voice . The dog is talking to people. I can’t even remember who it’s for.

[quote] Shen Yun

Is Shen Yun a cult?

The kit Kat commercial where it’s this new wave music and the woman moans “help me”. I hate it.

Asked this before, will try again: can someone explain to me what is the problem the wife has when she comes home and the cute husband is holding a fish he wants to cook for dinner and putting it down on her wood counter? Isn't that what it is there for? Where else is he supposed to put it while preparing it?

Speaking of Kit Kat, what is with the bizarre retro commercials with the urban females dancing to the song and then, separately, an 80s version where the director and his girl toy turn to camera and show their bars? "Give me a break, give me a break..." Just bizarre.

The Subaru commercial where the couple allows a blind stranger to guide them into the woods. It's like the opening of a horror movie.

Those ads are actually hysterical, so retro, cheesy looking and even the clothes are from the 80s. One looked to be filmed in London. They remind me of those pervy ice cream commercials, forgot the brand, they look like a low budget 1970s porn film.

"Seresto! Seresto! Seresto!"

Has Tim the Trivago guy worn out his welcome yet?

Shriner's Hospital. I'm sorry, but that woman with her son, the two of them looking like that cartoon "The Oblongs"

I bought My Pillow and am not ashamed to admit it. I got 2 for like 99 bucks. Worst pillows ever. The only pillows that are worse are those $29.99 feather pillows you buy on sale when you need extra pillows for decor. Never buy them unless you need expensive decor pillows as throwaways.

The Infiniti QX60 commercial meeting up with the 'mom' as she runs a marathon, going through all kinds of barriers - gawd, how much more suburban, and breeder can you get?

Ugh, Shen Yun is everywhere! I travel a lot for work and the posters are in stores, billboards up, and TV ads. I thought it was a big deal last year and can't believe they're doing a tour again so soon. I don't even think they changed the advertising from last year.

"As a wound-healing expert" garbage feet ad makes me do the barfs.

Shen Yun is a Chinese dance troupe that dress in colorful costumes and do somewhat athletic dance moves in front of a projected backdrop. They’ve had about a zillion TV ads for it in the last two months. From the ads the show looks to be repetitive—same-the-same.

Cap Tel , Verizon and the one with Common

Verizon and the KFC "Smoky Mountain BBQ" ads

Those Jon Hamm tax commercials, everything he's done after Mad Men has sucked

The flo and jamie ads for progressive insurance, I'm really thinking about changing insurance companies because I hate these commercials so much. flo is old and worn out. flo has got to go.

BDO and TD Ameritrade. Both campaigns are consistently smug and tone deaf across multiple ads and spots.

Nothing can beat those stupid Wayfair commercials where people get spastic and start dancing "like no one's watching" after receiving some cheaply made, tacky cast offs that stores couldn't unload on regular customers.

The GMC truck commercials where the narrator says "like a BOSS, like a pro". Makes me wanna shoot the screen.

"Wayfair ya got what I need! " and EVERY commercial that "drops the Mike"

R23 — I quite agree that Flo must go. Maybe she can gain 50 pounds and go to work hawking Tampax. They could trot her out for those "heavy Flo days." Or she could simply become the personification of the monthly visiting "Aunt Flo."

R8 I think the wife is upset because the husband is supposedly getting germs on her wood counter

the one about Alzheimer's hallucinations takes the cake.

I object. The “drop the mike” commercial has that cute tall guy who is dancing around the dining room table when he is caught by his wife, who acts like she’s his mother. I hate her, but he’s a doll.

The hotel commercial where guests glow, badabing badaboom. Whatever that means.

SO many....

- The one where the Asian girl screams, "Ooh I got my MON NAY!" because she was in on some stupid cash back scheme;

- The woman who is drying her stinky armpits with the hand dryer in the bathroom

- That bitch who is wailing over that small dent in her front bumper while "Love Hurts" plays at top volume

Dove Chocolates commercial with the older woman and the French song "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" plays in the background. Mainly because it's just aired too often.

Also the Hersheys commercial with that song playing in the background: Can you say I love it. Oh I love it Can you say hey Hey! That’s the spirit, ah Ah Ooh Ooh Sing sing baby maybe I love you Oh yeah Ooh, every little thing"

Again, aired too often. I actually liked the song when I first heard it. But now it's overkill.

This new Flo Progressive commercial is the very fucking worst one she's ever done yet. So fucking annoying!

Haven't they learned, yet, that Flo playing different family members is not the least bit funny?

I have mixed feelings about the PCmatic singing commercial.

Meanwhile, I just saw a anti-testimonial saying it takes over your computer unless you buy it. Like a virus!

THIS... is the beach.

r15, I sent my My Pillows back the next morning. I only unsquished one, so it wasn't that difficult.

[quote]THIS... is the beach.—Pregnant frau in Subaru commercial

I saw that last night. I thought it was Hyundai.

God yes R21, that red headed Reba cow sounds like a yodeling goat. I hate those commercials. Also anything with people eating, especially crunching and lip smacking. I hate watching people on TV eat.

I hate the Sprint commercial with that dude that used to do the verizon ads. he talks with his heard turned away from the camera. like talks from the side. annoying.

I hate all cellphone commercials, but like most insurance commercials.

I hate this fucking ad. they show it all the time. annoying.

There's a new one that annoys me. "A Kelly baked ham or a honey baked ham. Kelly baked ham or a honey baked ham. Kelly baked, honey baked, Kelly baked, honey baked..." Too repetitive.

I couldn't finish it, r43.

r41 stupid they use the same pitchman, just shows he will shill for whoever pays him

Ellen’s Spectrum commercial.

It is about time for Flo to retire. I figure that actress is a friggin billionaire by now just on that one commercial.

R48 "One commercial"? Flo's done hundreds, if not thousands.

ASPCA. They don't need your money, Send your $19 a month to shelter in your town or county. The ASPCA has millions already to run these commercials. Local shelters need the real help.

That is what I do, R50. Thank you for pointing it out.

R30 you are right about that one. I haven't seen it for awhile so maybe they got complaints

Posted this in another thread: I loathe the vile Skittles Pox commercial with those ugly kids. Bonus loathing as the girl looks like a female Matt Weiner's kid (Glenn from "Mad Men")

Soresto, Soresto, Soresto! Can't stand that dog's voice.

I know I’m going to get hate for this, but Trivago guy needs to take a nice long vacation, hopefully permanently.

Not hate, r54, just WGAS, especially given all the other shit you have to watch.

The toe fungus commercial where people have feet instead of hands. Creepy.

And I agree with R33 about the girl who got her "Mon Nay." So loud and stupid.

The Dr. Pepper commercials with the miniature man singing in falsetto. It's not funny. It's creepy.

Miniature man? I'll have you know that's Idol favorite Justin Guarini!

R33, R56, They think a hated commercial is a success, don’t they? As long as you remember it.

But I don’t remember the product. Nor even want to know.

All the State Farm commercials with the old scary dude from OZ prison tv show. Terrible and make no sense.

Those deplorable-targetting ads for Dodge RAM

Do you mean Farmers, R60?

My name is Schillinger, asshole at r60, Vern Schillinger, get it straight you fucking homo!

JG Wentworth positioned to lower class demographics

R58 I had no idea! I now feel so sad for him!

My body makes its own insulin

I never watch commercials.I always change the channel.

The Fios commercials with that little turd Gaten Matarazzo - can't stand him!

I hate the new Applebees commercials where they play Melissa Etheridge "Come To My Window" throughout. I guess they're trying to attract lesbians.

[R24] Yes! The BDO commercials are so incredibly pretentious.

the one with the former fattie who is now an 'athlete' is atrocious

"Ice cream..." "French fries..."

The new Clearasil commercial where the pimple is portrayed by a stereotypical gay guy dressed in a pink tuxedo. Ugh!

Creepy new one with the MyPillow founder appearing in the bedroom of a couple, who are in their pajamas, and demonstrating how his pillow is better. The husband lies on the bed with a MyPillow and Mike the pillow man leans over him like Prince Charming about to kiss a princess, but instead he pushes down the man's pillow to show how conforming it is. He is like a stalker in their bedroom and his annoying Minnesota accent doesn't help.

1-877-Kars-FORKIDS

This My Pillow ad is very bad - notice how they do a crappy makeup job of giving the wife dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep because she has a shitty pillow. And I want to string Mike Lindell up by the crucifix necklace he wears in all his ads - see it dangling from his shirt? Did he wear the big cross while he was smoking crack years ago?

I think Target has overplayed the "Why Don't you Just Meet Me in the Middle?" commercial. It makes me want to meet Wal-mart all the way.

r5 That's officer mcgruff helping to take a bite out of crime! It doesn't really fit for a geico commercial though. I thought it was funny though. Those PSAs from the 80's were kind of creepy to me, I always worried about being kidnapped.

I fucking loathe that eSurance commercial with the woman wailing like a fucking idiot over a dent while "Love Hurts" plays. SOmeone shoot her.

The Anoro commercial with that HORRID cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way" is enough to make me violent.

That Allstate commercial with the teen talking to his parents after getting into an accident was funny the first time. The millionth time, not so much.

The PC Matic commercials with the band. Holy shit, are some people that desperate for a paycheck?

The pc matic band is much better than the weird looking crossed eyed asian guy they had before.

"Eczema. It's fine."

"Eczema. It's fine."

"Is it your eczema again?"

"It's fine."

Cashnet USA, that stupid fat superhero spokesmoron

OMG I WANT PLEXADERM!!! IT MIGHT WORK😆😆😆

The DirectTV Now commercials are horrible because of the voiceover. It’s where she ends by saying, “That’s our thing.” The voice is like nails on a chalkboard times ten. It’s unbearable.

I esurance one where that woman cries and wails because of a dent in her car while “Love Hurts” plays.

That fat Hispanic bitch on the Dealdash.com commercial. I want to gut her alive!

This Farmersonly.com commerical

The guys seem more interested in each other than the girl. It just has an unintentional vibe to it.

The thing I like about the PC Matic commercial with the band is the drummer. He looks like he’s 10 years old. His haircut is a kid’s cut, and he plays the drums acceptably well, but not much is required of him for this song. He’s just banging on the drums like a ten year old. Adorable, and no doubt he’s related to the others playing.

I'm quite sick of the apology commercials from Facebook and Uber.

There's one for one of those cheapie phone providers, featuring three old geezers in a diner. Two white guys on one side of the booth, and a lone black guy on the other. Unfortunately, the solo fellow seems borderline retarded to me.

The Suburu (dealership) lady drives me nuts.

Eucrisa cream for psoriasis. "The hand of a ranch hand", "The face of a fairy" then the woman who looks like S. Epatha Merkerson who says something unintelligible about needlepoint. That drives me nuts.

This one. What the hell does S. Epatha say?

Thanks boys. Now I'm glad I don't have a TV. These ads would give me nightmares.

The My Pillow cretin is also a proud Trumptard.

R91, "The knee of a needlepointer?" You really couldn't suss that one out?

R91 "The knee of a needlepoint."

Needlepoint is done on a coarse plastic or something. I guess it irritates her psoriasis there. She does not say "the knee of a needlepointer", which would be grammatically correct, I guess.

I think Mike Lindell's St. Olaf accent distorted my hearing. Thanks, R95 and R96.

Oh and r96, you can have my stuff.

R96, on the contrary, she does indeed say "needlepointer" it's just that she's got a strong Southern accent and says "needlepoin-a"

Can someone please explain to me why that idiot would be conducting a choir of Progressive Insurance "salespeople" singing "Heaven Is a Place on Earth?" And what any of that has to do with cheap ass insurance?

But NOTHING is worse than that hideous caterwauling from Edith Piaf for Dove chocolate!

R100=Belinda Carlisle

The storm is coming Trumpy Bear.

"And it's STEROID free."

SASHAY AWAY

That fucking drug commercial where a bunch of people are sitting on I think the White Cliffs of Dover having dinner, and then some guy with a backpack surprises the one who’s obviously dying of something. Like, was he dropped from a helicopter, or did he walk up there? Did no one see him coming? How do you surprise someone having dinner on a fucking cliff?

"The face of a flower girl... the hand of a ranch hand... the balls of a baseball player... the taint of an Broadway entertainter..."

Subaru is apparently nervous about the 'lack of diversity" (ack, urp) in it's demographic. Suddenly there's a bunch of Subie ads with black folks-in the last twenty years, let's say, I've seen maybe five black people piloting Subarus. And one of THEM was half of a lesbian couple in my neighborhood.

Face it, Subaru, you've inherited the old Volvo demographic and are a SWPL/SAPL thing.

The Ancestry.com commercial where the woman finds out she's 26% Nigerian and then goes to wear the hat that's part of "her culture" and cries in the mirror.

Thanks R91 I was going nuts until figured it out. May you live hundreds of years to enjoy your stuff!(cultural thing, don't ask)

R99 I knew they wouldn't make such a horrible mistake on a national commercial. do we need new ears or new stereos???

The black woman in the Oral B commercial who speaks in staccato! "I was wondering if....an electrical toothbrush....cleans better....than a manual...and my hygienist says....it does." UGH!!!! Definitely a PC or nepotism pick.

Are you taking the tissue test?

What about the commercial with people’s feet as hands. Stupid!

THIS. What brilliant marketing team thought this was a good idea?

Ugh, it's spoiled.

What, the milk?

No, my credit score.

Fresher than this milk.

Nothing makes me cringe more than that gummi bear commercial with adults talking like pre school kids

I mute this one every time it comes/cloys on.

R112 is it the chartreuse or am I hallucinating little woman feet? wtf

Verizon commercials hands down, hate that curly haired freak

Chartreuse? Scoot over and keep it coming, R116.

So, come here often?

Ugh! The feet hands!

The Eggo commercials with the fat little girl who looks about 40. Ba-BAM!

The Hyundai Kona commercial with the castrati screeching Steve Winwood's Higher Love.

coupon cabin with RHONY

I LOVE Chartreuse!!

Easily the most obnoxious commercial ever made. Whoever approved this needs to be fired.

The Carmax one where he says I'm from seven days in the future and we still say "pretty sweet"

Wet Woolys. If you haven't seen it yet, you will.

Those exploitative Shriner's Hospital commercials shilling for donations and they'll send you an "adorable blanket". That kid Alec has been on them so long his voice has changed.

OP, Thar current My Pillow medicine cabinet commercial is a direct steal from a Right Guard commercial in the 1970s.

Mike "My Pillow" Lindell, a former crack addict who made it big, is a huge fan of Trump, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity. Reason enough to hate his commercials.

r129: all these losers must be smothered with My Pillow.

i hate all commercials. shilling for cancer drugs, ask your doctor about InYourFace, but don't take it if you are allergic to InYourFace......side effects include.....death. It is scary how these companies supposedly relate to what they think is their target audience..... ANY drug for a certain condition where that condition is actually one of the side affects.....

it is horrible how they all attempt to make you feel like you life is a mess (Mountain Vista Farm!), your teeth and gums are foreigners on a visit....I never knew if my gums were bleeding, my dsentist schooled me about Enamel !......my teeth are yellow...... you are too fat, burning feet, that it's just my eczema it's fine, NO it isn't fine. go get smothered by My pillow instead of whining on TV.....

I HATE that the state of Fuckafornia voted to remove that commercial with regular looking folk talking about how smoking pot helps them......what is the last one? Oh, I just like the way it makes me feel! NOPE!!! too honest!!! must take off because this is how so many people feel..... they act like everyone is going to run for the border locate a 20 miles long tunnel used by the cartel and smoke a big fat one if they don't get shot or beheaded in the process.

and yes that jg wentworth one with those boys wearing their hats and visor (VISOR!!!!) crooked singing that stupid song.....who exactly is their target audience? Used to be Justin what's his face fans?? ok. carry one. i must go soak my itchy burning feet...

[quote]ask your doctor about InYourFace, but don't take it if you are allergic to InYourFace.

This makes me want to throw shit at the pharmaceutical industry like no other claim.

[quote]your teeth and gums are foreigners on a visit.

Say WHAT?

There are 2 adverts in circulation on UK TV at the moment that make me see red....(Ive been out of the UK for a while, so sorry if these are old)

1. The Apple one....with 'Story of an Artist song', who chose that????? 2. The GiffGaff advert with the girl reading 'poetry' about something, what does tall mean.

and the GIFFGAFF....guff!!!!

There's a new Coke one tying in to those obnoxious names on the bottle/can and it is the definition of Twee and in all the worst ways. A sing song nursery rhyme sung by a twitty girl and equally twitty guy. "John likes Sue but really likes Quinn" or whatever the fuck, I turn it as soon as it comes on if I can. Just pure vomit.

So why is Progressive phasing out "Flo" and featuring that obnoxious "Jamie" conducting a group of singers singing "Heaven is a Place on Earth." Can someone please EXPLAIN what the FUCK that has to do with cheap ass INSURANCE?

FarmersOnly.com reminded me how mean country girls can be.

Liberty, Liberty, Liberty...LIBERTY.

I HATE this commercial’s vocal tag for Liberty Mutual.

Any commercial involving bratty, rotten kids, like that commercial for a type of citrus fruit that was running for a while. Mean, bratty kids are not funny, don't know why people think that sh*t is cute.

Dean Winters in any of those Allstate commercials. Terribly annoying and never funny. (He's not married, never has been.....hmmmmmmm)

Isn’t Dean Winters missing chunks of his body from some flesh eating disease?

Dean Winters is fuckable, unlike most of other other referenced cretins in these ads.

Another vote for Annette to get a month's worth of Plexaderm rubbed in her twat.

Poor Dean Winters did have a severe bacterial infection and died briefly. He later lost some toes and half a thumb during recovery when he got gangrene as a side effect of the infection.

Still pretty damn cute, though .

Another thumbs down for Mike and his My Pillow. I was given one and it's the most maintenance thing I have ever attempted to sleep on. The first and second nights were heavenly, then it flattened out. My Pillows require tumbling in a hot drier to reshape them. Nightly. After six months it has begun to leak foam stuffing at all four corners.

It IS machine washable, however, it requires double (sometimes triple) the spinning time to remove all of the water from the foam innards - otherwise it will never ever dry.

Avoid.

Another vote for that Dean Winters commercial.

Purple Bricks online real estate brokers and the scary strange looking redhead who goes off in her friend after failing to Dave thousands.

How do you forgive someone striking your husband with a hatchet?

LOATHE that geeky kid in the Fios commercials

I think those Dean WInters Allstate ads are the funniest commercials on TV right now.

Add me as another who likes the Allstate Mayhem commercial. Just the sight of Dean Winters in those knee-length shorts...

One that I'm disliking at the moment is the one which features a young girl talking about her mother and all the cleaning she has to do before putting dishes into the dishwasher. "What does the dishwasher DO?" Just the way she pronounces "DO" is irritating.

Also not liking the most recent Cottonelle commercials. "As clean as a crystal castle!" WTF?! Who, even a young child, compares a well-wiped ass with a crystal castle?

I try to imagine all those Mama Roses at the audition telling mortified little June to talk about how it feels to wipe her bottom. "Sell it!"

The Ellen DeGeneres commercial (spectrum?) and wayfair commercial tops the list

The GRAZE snack box with the automaton voice. It. Tastes. Like. Turt. Tull pie. In reality they send minuscule amounts of snacks in a maximum amount of cardboard and plastic.

The State Farm "She-Shed" commercial is grating. Too bad she wasn't in her she-shed when lightning hit it.

Just saw a commercial for Lays Poppables with two mug-cradlers who talk in this maddeningly smug manner that made me stabby. The dialogue is dull even for commercial standards but these two bitches deliver it like they're descendants of Dorothy Parker. I couldn't find it on youtube.

Get a load of this vocal fry...

Every time I see this commercial, I wanna climb into my TV & kick this bitch in her cunt

The bitch in the Whole Foods commercial who we're supposed to think is so adorable because she dances into some guy's cart.

The Alex Trebeck Colonial Penn commercial with the Old Lady who just turned 80. "I just turned 80....I'm on fixed income...what's my price?" Ewwww. Hate HER.

All geico commercials but especially the ones with the hideous guy doing aerobics sitting in a recliner and the fat hideous guy mowing his lawn and posting it on social media.

Gronk’s tide pods commercial. He has trouble pronouncing “stain fighters”

Martha Raye for Polident.

All the Chili's commercials with the guy singing that obnoxious 4-note, endlessly repetitious jingle.
