Commercials you are hating 2025

The Downy Rinse & Refresh "Total Eclipse of the Heart" parody.

Gold Bond. They use the music to the outstanding Reach and I'll Be There and turned it into muzak.

Any and all Spectrum commercials. We pay ridiculously high internet and cable fees, only to be inundated with commercials urging us to purchase even more product. Utilities should not be allowed to advertise.

I really despise Spectrum.

The Volkswagen commercial with some warbling out-of-key old bat sings and drones on and on about living life to the fullest or some such. Please fire these ad people and let them live in the streets begging for scraps. There should be a standards commission or something.

Fuck the vocal fry. They couldn't get anyone else to do this commercial?

There's one I like but no thread for that. The little girl wearing pink framed glasses who runs to her father "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!" St Jude's, I think.

The Colonial Penn commercial with the black older couple.

The husband, who seems nice and easy going, says: "Looks like my to-do list grew a little longer. Paint the bathroom, give Baxter a bath, get life insurance." His sassy black wife smirks and says something sarcastically when he tells her he already got life insurance through Colonial Penn.

I want to know why SHE can't call and get life insurance for the two of them ? Is she a simpleton ? (In these life insurance commercials, the wife always hounds the hubby to make the call and buy the insurance - why ? Where are all the women in this country calling for a boycott for these idiotic ads ?).

Why doesn't she paint the bathroom ? Can't she give Baxter a bath (assuming Baxter must be the dog) ?

Of course, if Baxter is the hot Latino gardener, I'll be happy to give him a bath.

R5 That actress is lip-syncing in the commercial, it's not her real voice. That's the voice over from Christina Hall (of the jacuzzi commercials). You couldn't tell ?

OP, you've embarrassed yourself.

The one where the wounded heart keeps interrupting her human host while they’re being filmed for a drug ad. I don’t know what stops the old lady from kicking the shit out of the mouthy organ. Now they’ve got one with a black guy, but his heart is far less flighty.

The current commercials make me miss the Motaur commercials for progressive.

I’m tired of sick and disabled kids having to beg for healthcare charity on TV. Why can’t our government provide for our citizens?

I actually take issue with that St. Jude ad. I can see the little girl running to her Dad, but they’ve got the cancer stricken tot running down the hall, out the doors, INTO THE STREET, and onto a dangerous parking lot, completely oblivious to “stop, look and listen…” The whole family reeks of irresponsibility.

Would you prefer she got hit by a car?

[quote]I’m tired of sick and disabled kids having to beg for healthcare charity on TV. Why can’t our government provide for our citizens

So you don't want the adowable Love to the Rescue blanket for donating?

When enough Americans stop believing its "socialism" to provide better healthcare, only then will things change. We've got at least four more years left to wait before entertaining the possibility of improving the system again.

[quote]I’m tired of sick and disabled kids having to beg for healthcare charity on TV. Why can’t our government provide for our citizens?

I'll confess to changing the channel over the holidays whenever the ad featuring kids singing, "I'll be home for Christmas" came on. If doing that gets me a one-way ticket to hell, so be it.

Nasty diaper commercials. I should be able to watch TV without hearing the details of your baby's shit. There is one particularly disgusting one that talks about "blowouts."

"Wanna know a secret? More than just my armpits stink."

And another one where a different woman loudly talks about "bifolds, underboob, butt cracks."

If I were a woman, there wouldn't be enough money in the world for me to talk about my stinky pussy in front of millions and millions of people.

Wait! Is that Melania's voice on the " Save The Children" spot?!

Say it ain't so!!!

R19 It is indeed. Desperate times / desperate measures.

[quote] Would you prefer she got hit by a car?

YES! If I saw a car careening through the parking lot and making her a hood ornament, I'd be more enticed to donate money for her. And if it's her daddy driving the car, I'll double the donation.

The menstrual cup. Looks like an upside down rubber beanie. I don't need to look at that or tampons being dunked water.

Thanks, R20.

OMG! I wonder how much she charged "Save The Children" for that lengthy voiceover? It must have taken multiple takes and then endless hours of editing to perfect it.

How much lower can one family sink; surely the bottom must be near. Will "Save the Children" see any of the proceeds from this campaign?

Sickening.

I fucking hate that Bumble commercial with the British chick in the yellow monkey fur. She says, "You're hot, we're all hot," or some shit like that, and it pisses me off so much I end up yelling "fuck you" at the TV every time.

MTailor.com with the hot guy in ill-fitting jeans who does not speak a word, but all the talking is done ( badly) by a young woman. Is the man mute? What makes advertisers think that men can't speak?

The Burger King commercials with the guy singing off key. They've given up on trying to sell anything.

They've clearly upped the ante with that Medusa faced deodorant bitch, they show her nasty ass face more than they did before. And is it Dial that's calling deodorant DEO now?

Christ on a fuckin' crutch.

The menstrual cup! Looks like a rubber gnome hat and I don't want to think about its insertion or removal.

Another vote for that stupid Lume crotch fumes commercial. Ugh.

Haribo with the football players. It's on constantly.

Born to be Wild.

Love Will Keep Us Together. I hated that song then and my hatred of it hasn't waned. It's for a mattress or bed, I forget which.

Unrelenting ads for Mint Mobile on every podcast ever. Hearing "Ryan Reynolds for Mint Mobile" makes me want to scream. Fuck off, Ryan.

The mean-spirited Sling commercial with the MAGAtts flinging their newspapers back at the paper delivery man, striking him and causing him to fall off his bike.

The childlike delivery man presents as being "challenged."

I am so glad I cancelled Sling after the introductory trial period. Shame on them (and their advertising agency) for choosing such a vile (and violent) depiction of cruelty as their public image.

If I see one mo Sly Family Stone documentary ad.

The only commercials I don't mind are the Emu ones.

I really hate those older ladies singing about how they "quilt this city" with toilet paper.

THANK YOU R37. Me too. I bet Grace Slick just loves it lol.

Uh, yeah R38. She effing gets residuals.

[quote]lol

You are too stupid for words, R38.

The Prevagen commercial featuring David, a good old boy pharmacist whose memory loss is controlled with the supplement.

WTF? Thank you, but no! I would prefer the person dispensing my medication not have problems with his memory. Remember Mr. Gower, the pharmacist in "It's A Wonderful Life?"

SMH

The asshole guy going around high-fiving everybody.

r33, yes. Ryan Reynolds is over exposed.

Club crackers. Women singing along and then one gets really deep and bluesy and they all laugh.

Women in groups, as portrayed in commercials, have the most dull, cloying lives.

That woman who says that financial advice is their “croft” & the advantage of a cruise is spending more time being “tharr.” It’s supposed to sound sophisticated but it just grates.

Vivica Fox and Ice T in them low rent insurance commercials.

I am confused by those mattress commercials that have the All Night Long soundtrack.

Are they advertising that all their customers are douche bags?

I have to mute the TV when that ridiculous Liberty/Biberty commercial comes on. I loathe it.

I think it's a Medicaid Advantage ad. Two women are in the back yard and one of them tells the other about the benefits, and the skeptical woman gets on the phone acting like a cunt. Do you *really* offer such-and-such? It proceeds like this until the patient woman answering questions finally convinces her.

The ad where the guy with new hearing aids keeps telling strangers that he can overhear their conversations makes me want to box his ears.

My hiney's clean.

The most recent Trivago commercial with the 2 different guys checking out. The tall, Scandinavian guy has a giant set of blindingly white chompers. They are all I see during the 30 seconds

[quote]I have to mute the TV when that ridiculous Liberty/Biberty commercial comes on. I loathe it.

R47 I immediately mute the TV when they break to commercials regardless.

R51 Me too. It's extremely distracting.

R4-The "old bat" is legend-in-her-own-mind Elaine Stritch. The narcissistic bitch is probably hissing in her grave, knowing she never got one commercial while she was alive.

On Plex - every single commercial break on Plex is the Dave’s Chicken - Hot chicken - NOT Chicken deep fried Cauliflower - the back ground music is “Like a Heat Wave.”

TV ads featuring dead people hawking products should be retired. If I haven't purchased OxyClean by 2025, I don't need Billy Mays, who died nearly 16 years ago, trying to convince me that it is the second coming at 3 AM.

You'd think the advertisers could find someone living willing to do their commercials, or are they too cheap to hire new talent?

I hate the Charmin anal fixated family of bears. The mom spying her cub’s dingleberries from inferior toilet paper when he returns from a day at school is another low in the ursine saga.

Some blonde bitch singing the theme from "The Love Boat" advertising some cruise line. She's a horrible singer; she's pitchy and off key. And she tries to wow us with that final note and she doesn't hit it. It's pretty damn bad.

r55 same. Heat Wave is the newest "old song' they are exploiting, but the one they played nonstop before was "Something's Got a Hold On Me" AD FUCKING NAUSEAM. I fucking HATED IT!

And now, so you can all enjoy it too....

R58, you ignorant slut!

How dare you besmirch the goddess who is Hannah Waddingham?!

You might have to be in CT to see it but that Jordan's Furniture guy. Ugh. His voice is worse than the old Carville Ice Cream guy.

I looked up that commercial on YouTube r51 and you're not kidding about those teeth. A DLer referred to those kind of teeth as "white vinyl fence teeth" in a thread about Mary Lou Retton. I don't know why someone would pay thousands of dollars to look that bad.

Off topic but I really like the kid for Spectrum who learns years of kung fu in 20 minutes because his internet is so fast. His daddy is pretty hot.

R62 and R52, yeah. He looks like Dr. Teeth from the Electric Mayhem.

r62, Gary Busey chicklet teeth...

I am old...

Sorry, I meant R51.

I hate the local political commercials. None of the candidates talk about themselves and why they should be voted for. Instead, they talk shit about the other candidate, often only semi-truthfully, and their commercial is played at every single break. I HATE them.

The Snow White Allegra commercials, make it stop.

Ro.com

Every commercial starring Kevin Hart. Annoying AF

The GOVX commercials. Who decided that having some guy be an asshole was a good way to sell their product?

Have you ever seen one of those attorney commercials late at night and thought, "If I ever need legal help, I'm calling this guy first."

Clear captions phones with the family affair oldest daughter

Whatever car commercial that has that FUCKING ANNOYING mumbo-jumbo jingle with nonsensical non-words to it: "bitty, bitty, bum bum"

I want to throw a brick at the TV every time I hear it.

The car spot with the fat, oily priest in the confessional.

Guys, I don't watch much TV, but I frequently play games on my phone during which you have to watch ads for bonuses. I'm suddenly being bombarded with ads for Dovato. I find it offensive, however, the ads feature a very cute couple. Oh, and I've hated every Jardience commercial since the original fat chick. She was the only one who ever sang the song on key.

That asshole on YT who claims he just cashed a $50K check for his car accident by using some AI App.

[quote]Oh, and I've hated every Jardience commercial since the original fat chick. She was the only one who ever sang the song on key.

Hell yes, R76, I agree. If they are going to air that commercial over and over, at least go back to the first woman who had rhythm. Every "new" actor is worse than the one before.

Kristi Noem’s we will find you and deport you and you will never be able to return.

The Liberty Mutual commercial with the (supposed) baby saying "liberty" over and over again.

They should just stick to the emu.

Ro

I detest it being shown at every commercial break where i see a lazy, fat pig reclining on the couch stabbing her glp 1 injection into her fat thigh. And the sound effects of “Woooooh”

Make them stop!!

Gay twins at the Home Depot garden department talking about their retirement savings with Voya. Puhleeze, you get the minimum wage.

R83 I don’t know about Home Depot, but Lowe’s Home Improvement pays quite well. In my depressed area in NC, it’s hard to get a job there.

I see Frank roasting Limu out of spite.

I'm sick to death of that ridiculous Emu-running-away-from-home spot. Did they retire his partner? If so, stupid move.

Someone please smother that Biberty baby.

Any Liberty Mutual commercial is better than the one featuring the guy with the melting wax figure of himself. Thankfully, it isn't being shown as much since the Biberty baby one came out. At least the Biberty guy is good looking. Or just bring back the emu.

I'm going to be contrary and name one I like. The Apple commercial with Pedro Pascal.

Commercials like the Liberty and Jardiance ones are exactly why you should mute your TV when any commercial is on.

Any ad where some random guy opens by saying "Hi. I'm..." So?

The seal girl for Morgan Stanley, it's creepy.

Haribo Goldbears

That Skinny Pop commercial with Jennifer Aniston.

Who carries a giant open bag of popcorn with them when they're checking into a hotel?

The “you need a will” guy.

I hate the ones where the female dentists ambush workers at their job because their teeth aren’t white enough.

It's a commercial, R94, not a documentary.

And you've obviously never worked as a front dedk clerk at a hotel. The shit you see is mind boggling, and the pricier the hotel the more shit you see.

The Sling TV commercial with the mentally challenged paper boy/man delivering newspapers on his bike and the neighborhood bullies yell at him and throw papers at him and cause him to crash his bike. Why would any company think that is good advertising?

R97 Hi, Jen. Thanks for stopping by.

It's still a stupid commercial. You can do better.

The DeGeneres,/Rossi Kind Science crapfest is weird. In that who the fuck is the target audience.

Old wrinkled lesbians?

Bull daggers don't care and lipstick lesbians can afford better. I am confused.

Any Lume/Mando ads that say "introducing". How long has this been on the market?

Mute your TV. Just sayin'.

[quote]Any Lume/Mando ads that say "introducing". How long has this been on the market?

Long enough for other companies to hop on the whole-body deodorant wagon with their own versions, R101.

Every commercial break seems to have one telling the audience that you can safely use it on your ass crack, under boobs and/or pussy without stating the obvious. The women's commercials are more irritating and gross than the few for men.

I'm still liking the Emu especially now with his hobo stick.

I am waiting for Greg to eat Limu for Thanksgiving.

It appears Limu has a cheaper day rate.

Mom as finance bro for PNC Bank day trading her ass off and husband shaming for his life's earning failures.

Listen to your Auntie Vi-Vi-Ca!

I hate that HomeServe commercial with the weirdo muscle daddy with nasty beard and his "aw, shucks" looks.

A rodent in the birthday cake. Terminix.

That commercial for the "natural soda pop" with the little girl selling the stuff at a lemonade stand. A woman comes along and asks if she has a certain flavor, and the little girl does this weird, "Uh...hold on" thing and is looking like she's trying to hide something, but then just reaches behind her and pulls a can of the soda from the tree. Like...what was there to hide? The tree with the soda cans hanging off it is right there!

None of it makes any sense.

That new commercial for Spectrum with the married couple and they are getting the free phone line for one year. She is a “bargain Hunter’ and is so impressed at how “substantial the savings are. There is just something annoying about her…… on the other hand - I LOVE the other Spectrum commercial where the old women are laughing with each other.

“I get so many compliments” when I ‘dress down’ in my Quince gold spray painted shell macaroni earrings….

A beautiful happy woman is walking out of her house, meeting someone, or with her children . Why is she so fucking happy ?

Because she has METASTATIC BREAST CANCER, and this new med is giving her more DAYS….. Gee, like I could be that happy if I had metastatic breast cancer and could get more happy days Repulsive

I'm STILL SEEING "We got the House!" with that annoying moon-faced Asian woman!

Calgon take me away!

Degree's new whole body deodorant jingle, "Crotch, Under Boob & Butt"

Shannon Klingman, this is all your fault for making it okay to be gross. Now other companies have joined the madness with their own Lume-like products and equally gross commercials.

1-John Walsh for OmegaXL: Some men, when they run out of testosterone, their voice gets higher. He's got a eunuch voice!

2-The woman who starts nagging her husband "Al, did you call about insurance?" Not only do I want the Monty Python Foot to land on her and every atomic bomb in the world to hit her. If there are any molecules of her left laying around, I want them vacuumed up, put in a metal box, which would have to be welded shut and dropped over the North Pole just like The Blob.

Defender SUV commercial with loud, blatty, farty-sounding horns. Douche-bro wet dream. Ugh. It plays CONSTANTLY.

Spot with the douche-y gonna-be-gay-when-I-grow-up fat kid telling the horn-playing Lens Dunham wanna-be "You're electric". I wanna smack him in his puffy little cheeks.

“What are the three P’s?”

Profit

Profit

Profit

Let's face it, every fucking one of them.

Here, in Canada, we have these commercials for Manmade underwear, which are super cringe. Basically, several former finance douchebros who started an underwear company. I can't decide if they're just plain awful, unintentionally homoerotic, geared towards low IQ young men, or something else.

[quote]unintentionally homoerotic,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Also in Canada - those embarrassing SKIP commercials with Jon Hamm.

All those constipation ads for Linzess are so boring.

I miss Lana and the Viberzi IBS- Diarrhea ads.

We need more ads that deal with the shits

Also Pepto has a new version and they rewrote the lyrics for : "When you have nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea"

[quote] We need more ads that deal with the shits

Hi Erna!

Serious question for anyone who is in advertising: Why have boys all but disappeared from commercials, especially the father-son relationships. Now, the commercials are father-daughter and mother-daughter, even sports related ones. What is the rationale for the change? Just curious.

It must have changed, thankfully, with that dreaded Special K commercial. R126. The father struggles to close a suitcase and the nasty little boy says "why don't you get Mom to sit on it?" They both laugh until BIG MOM lets it be known she's heard them.

r126, it is part of the victimization of Rape Culture white males.

It rationalizes, Incels on the subconscious level.

The Batteries Plus commercial with the ugly redheaded woman who recites her dialogue too fast. When people speak this rapidly, it’s easy to just shut down and tune them out. Plus, every actor in this spot is unattractive, so with that, who cares what they’re selling? The “go-to-guy” likes like an Asian Fred Flintstone.

They finally calmed down with all those Travolta and Scrubs guys commercials.

Is anyone else annoyed when the same commercial is played back to back? I just saw one who did it three times in a row before showing another commercial. Aggravating.

Ouyback - OY! Oy! OY!!!

That Pepper commercial must have been sold for pennies a second, as it has run alternately in a 5-minute commercial block. Like three times.

Itty bitty titties be cheap...
