Re: Commercials you absolutely f&*$ing HATE
I don't wear pants if I don't have anywhere to go. I have been in the office for over a year at this point, but many are just going back. If I was still working from home, I wouldn't be wearing pants most of time. I imagine that many/most of the people that do wear pants at home wear sweatpants or pajama bottoms (neither of which I would call "real pants"). My wife will even wear pajama bottoms to the grocery store, lol.

She's putting on jeans though, and leaving sweat pants on the floor. It's not like she's wearing work clothes. Were there people who wore sweat pants but not jeans during Covid?
Seriously, the more I scrutinize this ad like the Zapruter film, the less sense it makes.

I'm getting tired, -just from the sheer repetition, -of the woman whose "spotty network" , -causes her to show up in a Medieval costume for a business meeting.
But the one that bugs me is a current Domino's Pizza commercial. At first I thought they were guaranteeing you your fresh pizza two minutes after you show up. But, no, -the commercials says they'll get the pizza to you two minutes after they finish cooking it (however long that takes), -or you'll get a free pizza. It seems like they're guaranteeing they'll actually do their job, -that you'll get your pizza two minutes after they finish cooking it. wow, I'm impressed.

Every time I see it I think, “When you want Melissa McCarthy but you’re only filming a shitty T-mobile commercial…”

Every and any Liberty Mutual Commercial. I would never get insurance from them based on how bad all of their awful commercials are.

Thankfully it's limited due to being a trailer but the Forever Purge promo. Every time I hear that guy say "The real purge! The forever purge!" I want to punch the TV.

Ads are not random, -they have a target in mind. A friend and I have discussed the State Farm ads with (for example) "Thanks for the 'Parker' rate", the pizza delivery person gifting Jake with the Coo-Coo Crusties and The Atomic Brownie, or the Butcher with the extra meat, or the woodcarver who sculpts Jake's face from memory. I imagine it's trying to tap an underserved market, -emphasizing single people rather than families perhaps, -or is there something more going on, because they're definitely aiming at something ....

The one that features a talking penis with John Goodman's head. It's downright horrifying.

Well, I’ve watched a couple nights of the Olympics on NBC this weekend so that means I’ve seen this commercial approximately 6,361 fucking times!

It's painful to admit because I like her work on SNL so much (especially her work in fake commercials) , but Kate McKinnon's Verizon spot is excruciating. So painfully unfunny. And it looks like she's trying SO hard to be funny. I don't know what actually happened but it looks like she was sent onto a big sound stage without a script and was told to riff for an hour. It's a mess. It genuinely makes me sad.

I don't hate it, but there's an ad that CBS runs for a Fall sitcom named "Ghosts", which I suppose is about a young couple (starring Rose McIver from "I, Zombie") buying a property that's haunted by comic spirits. Every time I see it I sort of expect it to be a Geico commercial.

I just saw a commercial last night for a "body odor eliminator" that is intended for use in a certain part of the anatomy. They don't say what it is, but then the subject of the commercial does certain yoga poses that spell it out. In other words, it's a real life version of the SNL parody ad "Ass Don't Smell".

Brad Garrett’s mob boss (or whatever he’s meant to be) in the Jimmy Johns commercials aren’t nearly as funny as the ad men think they are.

Only thing I can think of is how much of those drinks and treats were wasted because of that ass-hat dad. And I don't care how good those mats are, that slushie splashed on the back seat and other places not covered.

Re: Commercials you absolutely f&*$ing HATE
Those prescription drug commercials that consist of nothing but the drug's name and "Ask your doctor about (X)." They say literally nothing about what the medicine is supposed to treat, but we should ask our doctors about it? What is even the point of making a commercial with no information on the product?

Ten years ago Burger King was trying to push its breakfast menu with people singing an annoying jingle. Hated those especially.
In fact, I hate any commercial that doesn't depict the actual clientele of a specific product and portrays a fantasy reality where all problems can be solved by getting it.
