Re: Commercials you absolutely f&*$ing HATE
Basically all cell phone commercials - both the companies, and the phones themselves.
But primarily the once with the dude who worked for one company but now is for Sprint (or vice versa). Hate him. And the Google phone one, 'Can it do this? this? this?" Oh, and some of the Apple ones too. But someone even though I hate them, I usually have to watch most of them (and I no longer own an iPhone and have no plans to get one.)
Charmin bear commercials, those are bad. I miss Snuggle Bear.

Anything with Flo, the Progressive girl. Every one of their commercials with her are fucking annoying. And they now have an annoying dude to go with her annoying commercials.
Who the fuck thought these were a good idea?

This American Family Insurance commercial (which plays a lot during Cub games - so I see it often) drives me fucking nuts.
The dad is a real dick to his son, and the so-called 'warm and fuzzy' ending relies on the guy knowing his son had a window seat, the flight plan of the son's plane, that the son would somehow know to look out the window, etc.
I always go off on a rant when I see it, and my wife reminds I am reading WAY TOO MUCH INTO IT.

I am so tired of the General Insurance commercials advertising Uncle Drew (not that the others are that much better), but for f's sakes, that movie has been out for almost a month now...

If that fucker sitting on the cooler was at my party, I'd throw his ass out.
I continue to hate those liberty mutual commercials. I wish they would go out of business so they would just stop.

I don't actually hate the ad, but I'm always amused by the ad for some hotel chain that features actress Judy Greer as a sunny and talkative "B Girl", -at least that's how I look at it.
Here's one I just don't get: a car company hires a talented but obscure actress named Kathryn Hahn to tout their cars. Kathryn has been in the Amazon series "I Love Dick" and "Transparent"; she's playing herself and at the end another driver glances over at a stoplight and immediately recognizes her. I'm sure her "ask" is low but why sell a car on the name of someone who's not really a name.

Do NOT watch this commercial if you're overly sensitive. Seriously.

Ugh, that Drivetime ad with the math guy who has his complex equations erased by the janitor. It comes up all the time on YouTube.

Any Political Ads being shown on what I call Off channels on Roku. Not the Hulu or bigger name channels but those "where the heck did this come from" channels. I could live with them but the other day the same Negative Ad (aren't they all) was shown 4 times in a row. Yep, they kept repeating the same ad 4 times.

Just when I couldn't hate those "Badabook, badaboom" hotel commercials they up the ante with that annoying dorky beta as f**k guy with the glasses. Gonna make me a Holiday Inn customer forever at this rate.
And on the flip side, I am in love with the redhead in the PillPack.com commercials.

Actually, I like the "dogs driving cars" commercials. However, I don't get the story of the most recent one: A dog is picking up another dog from the bowling alley, and he every time the dog with the bowling bag in his mouth approaches the car, the dog driving moves the car away from him. Generally, it's mimicking parent/child moments, like taking the kids to school. I'm not sure what this is supposed to be reflecting...

I absolutely hate the Flex Glue commercial where it claim it can hold anything together. Spokesman Phil Swift remind me of Billy Mays without the beard. Read some of the reviews that customers who bought the glue says it does not work saying it a sham.

The Verizon commercials with the music nazi who tells people what music to play on their cellphones piss me right off. "Read the room". More like "catch my fist", you annoying prick.

I think I feel the same way about most car commercials, especially after reading how useless a lot of those awards are. Beer commercials can be funny at times (though I'm not the target audience) but get run into the ground if you ever watch an entire football game.
The one set of commercials I find consistently funny are Jack in the Box, though I think that's regional.
