Which TV Commercial do you despise the most?

I'm really tired of the Mesothelioma commercials. There are several law firms that have ads for it and I'm so tired of them, they are long and boring!
 
There's a print ad that annoys me. It's for Texture, apparently a way to get magazines electronically. The ad says " Binge Reading, It's About to Become a Thing". As if Gen X invented something new humph...Many of us have been "binge readers" most of our lives.
 
I'm disgusted by the ad (Australia) showing the bloke wearing his wife's pink, frilly, bikini undies!! :eeew::bowknot:
 
Any, and All ads for prescription drugs. These should be Banned, IMO. The people who are sucked into taking this stuff are paying for the millions/billions of dollars these drug companies spend on advertising...and then they wonder Why drug costs are soaring off the charts.

You are right!!
 
The Big Pharm ads are the worst. I have mild arthritis, so some days I have a gimpy leg, maybe a bit stiff standing up sometimes but I can deal with it. Then you see one of those ads...
"New Genuflecta for mild to moderate RA symptoms. Ask your physician if Genuflecta might be right for you...the most common side effects of Genuflecta can include blurred vision, nausea and vomiting, tremors, hallucinations, uncontrollable diarrhea, sudden death, and an erection lasting more than four hours. Notify your physician promptly and seek medical attention".

Who would want to take that crap?
 
I agree the pharmaceutical drug ads should be taken off the TV, they all make me sick. This is the most recent commercial that I despise the most, hate these scare tactic ads in general.


 
I' getting a little tired of Owen of General Electric too... but his GE commercial is still not as bad as the "Trees that make friends with trains" one... my mom? She works for GE
 
Well, I hate those ads showing all those "tender, love-struck, coddling" looks or "when the moment is right" situations where some man and woman are in the midst of doing something such as on a drive, working in the garden, touring a museum, watching a concert, or on the beach in a bathtub, and suddenly they turn and look at each other like "this is the moment" whereupon the ad says "make sure your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity, and check with your doctor first, take Cialis. Be sure you are ready when the moment comes. When I was young, these were things that one talked about in privacy.

Checking with the doctor and worrying about my heart would be the last thing on my mind. So, if I die of a heart attack, I'll be happy anyway.
 
A local one. An RV owner comes on dressed like a King and yells out "I'm the Camper King!" Then goes into his sales pitch and closes by yelling "Come see the Camper King Today!" I hate that sob. The commercial is repeated all day long. He must pay a fortune for all the air time.
 
Any feminine hygiene product. Such a small area of the anatomy to have so many billions of dollars of products marketed for it. I always found them embarrassing while watching television with my daughters.
