Re: Commercials you absolutely f&*$ing HATE
Just to fit the thread and kick this off... drug ads. You know, "ask your doctor about..." and then they list 10 side effects worse than the original problem.
My family and I watch all manner of shows on various services (like most) and we have a running thing about all the drug ads. They are just rampant on every service, every commercial break, everywhere they can fit them in. Thing is, they have seemingly vanished in the last week to 10 days. Don't get me wrong, I don't miss them (I think they should be illegal), but did a law get passed banning them? It's almost bizarre it is without those commercials every break.

The more annoying ones are for alcohol since I don't drink... Get those pretty regularly before watching YouTube videos.

I want to stab the gmc truck ads in the spleen.
The one with all the idiots slapping hands to the Queen song We Will Rock You.

Who’s driving this thing? A robot? A creeper just waiting for the lady’s signal and then just sits there while the guy hugs the truck? And is there someone lying in the snow just over the hill holding onto the puppy until he gets the signal? What the hell is going on?!

I can't explain exactly why but the "Mofongo-Vegtables-Pollo!" woman has got to be the most obnoxious and annoying person in all of current advertising.

I don't know why but I love this one. It makes no sense and it's a horrible commercial in terms of conveying any kind of meaningful marketing, but I love the chemistry and performances of the three principals.

Tony Kornheiser went on a rant about Applebees using the Cheers theme this morning on his podcast. It was pretty funny.

What is that one where the guy's wife complains that he fired up the grill just to make one hot dog? 'Cuz I gotta say, if it's a gas grill that makes perfect sense to me.

I find those Old Spice commercials with Dolph Lundgren (I guess de-aged or is it a lookalike?) and some dude smelling his armpits. Just gross. Makes me buy any other brand.

Re: Commercials you absolutely f&*$ing HATE
The "better with Pepsi" commercials. They're annoying and they're backwards. You don't grill one hotdog or eat fried chicken in the morning because they're better with Pepsi. You should already have those food items, but no Pepsi, so you do what you can to acquire Pepsi because said food items are better with it. Anyone who has watched Comedy Central should have seen these commercials about a million times.

Re: Commercials you absolutely f&*$ing HATE
I don't actually hate it, but this commercial is just such a weird choice:
Marketing a hiring site to people who are launching their own record label? Can't be too big a market.

The Camp Lejeune commercials that I see a million times a day.
Yeah, I get the point, but damn, every day I see a commercial like this...
