Some commercials drive me absolutely bonkers. There's one now about a group of people dancing gleefully around, because they opted for a health insurance plane. It's such a stupid ad. Yeah, who really dances around with a dumb grin on their face, when you talk to an insurance salesman. That ad just gets to me. I have to change the channel when it comes on. How about you? Are there ads you dread? You can't stand? Or think they are just dumb?
 

Joe Willy was something when the Jets mopped the field with the Colts in the 1969 one sided fiasco in Miami. Lotta folks took a serious hit betting not for the Colts but against the Jets because rabidly hard core NYC NFL fans said the AFL was an embarrassment and the Jets weren't worthy of infesting Shea Stadium. I always thought his white shoes and fur coat were an especially nice touch.
 
The painkiller ads? They have a lady who has been taking this miraculous pain killer ( or cream, or whatever) and how it helped her, but she's WHINING and CRYING as she's telling us about the pain she USED TO HAVE! If she's now out of pain, WHY IS SHE STILL CRYING ABOUT IT? She sounds like she's dying!

Probably crying because the check from the marketing company bounced.

There are very few commercials that I care to watch....drug, insurance, you name it. My remote gets plenty of exercise flipping channels or using the Mute button. Lately, the one I hate the most is the Leaf Guard Gutter commercials. People who get sucked into spending thousands for that product are quickly disappointed the first time they get a strong rain.

I find the drug ads dumb. "Talk to your doctor about prescribing________."
Uh.....he's the doctor with all the education, knowledge & degree. Wouldn't he already know what drugs to prescribe?

What is so stupid about those ads is that they say how great the drug is and then reel off a long list of horrific possible side effects. Yes, the drug will dramatically help my RA, but it may also cause heart failure, stroke, kidney failure...Forget it, I'll keep what I've got...

@Autumn, it’s called CYA.... 🙄
 
some car insurance commercial... guy's brand new car was totaled after only a few weeks and insurance doesn't just buy him a brand new car. i bet any insurance company would write a policy for 100% replacements, but i can't imagine the premiums.

any commercial featuring OBNOXIOUS kids. one on right now. 2 kids in back seat. younger brother is just bugging big sis to death. mom fixes the problem by handing them bags of chips?

That's the typical big pharma CYA warning from their legal departments and the FDA rubber stampers who gets those white envelopes with lettuce in them from Congress who gets them from big pharma's lobbyist who gets a cut from America's biggest criminal enterprise our health care insurance racketeers who gives kickbacks to uncaring doctors who sit around waiting for patients to ask them if they could prescribe the latest sugar coated low dosage aspirin they saw on TV. Now don't quote me on this, just something I heard.
