I hate that lousy commercial.

[fuzzybuddy]

JJ Walker, the My Pillow guy, and Joe Namath used to head my most hated commercial list. JJ Walker's "Dyn-o-mite" was old in the 1970s. And the My Pillow guy can't squeeze another crucifix, or American flag into the background in his ads. Talk about pandering. Namath should stick to modelling panty hose. But they don't irk me as much as that woman gynecologist (?) who is hawking her deodorant. I honestly don't care if I rub that junk on my butt cheeks, my crotch won't smell any worse if I just bathed. These are mine, what are your most detested ads?

 

[JaniceM]

Somehow I've been fortunate to have missed that one.
JJ Walker does bug me, though.

 

[carouselsilver]

I really hate most commercials, because they are generally interrupting something that I am actually enjoying.

 

[oldaunt]

The really nice thing about NOT ever watching TV is I don't have to see those ignorant ads.

No t.v. at all?!?

 

[bowmore]

Right now in CA, there is a proposition about on line gambling, both pro and con. On every channel multiple times a day

 

[carouselsilver]

I don't watch subscription channels, mostly pirated stuff my husband collected back in the day. Along with those, I watch streaming stuff on Amazon, YouTube, Netflix, and Tubi (free). I am not even familiar with any of the commercials that are being shown today.

 

[oldaunt]

Nope. I stopped watching about 1997. Too much of it disgusts me. I DO have a select library of good movies, when I'm in the mood for entertainment. That way I watch what *I* like, and not what's force-fed. Watched Electric Horseman last night.

You're not missing much!!

True! Sometimes the doctor's waiting room will have a television going and I can't believe the mind numbing stuff that is being broadcast.

 

[Jace]

Progressive Ins...with that irritating lady.
Liberty Mutual....grrr!

Who writes these stupid ads...that insult the average intelligence.

I always take a good book and sit where I don't have to watch.

 

[Geezerette]

Ther is a new one with woman actually shaving around her pubic area with a little tiny bikini covering a tiny bit of her. Selling some sort of razor.
Next to that is the herd of local Personal Injury Lawyers who promise to getcha millions.

 

[Remy]

And those commercials go on and on and on. I can't give up the damn TV though. Even with nothing on.

Yes that deodorant is Lumi or something. I'll pass on trying it.

If you think you're sick of them now, wait until it gets passed. We have it here and it was almost non stop ads for various gambling sites. It's been a little less lately, though.

Also, I'm sick of these commercials:
Linda Finds a Personal Loan

[win231]

I haven't seen the "Reverse Mortgage" ads with Tom Selleck, Henry Winkler, or Steve Garvey for a while, but they were annoying.
They've been replaced with Covid, Shingles, & Menningitis vaccine & drug ads. But those aren't really annoying; just amusing.

 

[SeniorBen]

I'm sick of commercials featuring Peyton Manning. Enough already! Also, those commercials featuring Melissa McCarthy. I don't even know or care what products they're hawking. I just want them off my TV!

And there are a few that get played over and over on YouTube. I can block them with an add-blocker on my PC but not when I'm watching on the Roku box. I guess if I subscribed, I could get rid of them, but that would mean Google (parent company of YouTube) would have more of my info and I don't trust those greedy bastards. I added a credit card to my King Sooper's account the other day and somehow Google got that information and added it to Google Pay. WTF?!! I immediately deleted that info from Google Pay as soon as they notified me, but WTF? How is that even legal? Google is a horrible, unethical company.

 

[oldaunt]

I feel sorry for all of you at the same time I'm glad I don't deal with any of it.

I believe that in the months that they've been airing the Prop 27(plus prop 26) ads, that I've viewed these ads more times than all other TV ads combined, since the '50s.

J J Walker needs the cash to try to un jump the shark and Billy Joe wants to destroy all the media footage of him showing his football fans that he and only he can try to kiss Susie Kolber and not get sued.

Lol, I am also tired of that particular annoying lady. But, the dynamite guy makes me grrrr.

I seldom watch TV. Nothing on worth my money each month for cable I stream if I want to catch a movie or go to Red Box.

I had a run in with Google, too. Some how I was being billed for some kind of service that I wasn't even using. Then they said that they suspected a family member and that I was responsible. I canceled my credit card.

Since '97 when I quit watching TV, I have built a collection of over 600 good movies on VCR, DVD and Bluray. I add to the collection when I find good ones that aren't all porn and such. I even have several seasons of Columbo, and all the Downton Abby seasons.

 

[Devi]

Ditto what @oldaunt said. We almost never watch regular TV. We buy DVDs (including Blueray), and have a HUGE collection including all the episodes of many series. That way, we can re-watch as we will.

We even recently got a DVD player that would play DVDs from different regions. Was pretty cheap; works great.
