What TV commercial bugs you the most?

I don't like being lectured like in the drug commercials, up coming economic collapse, reverse mortgages among others.I want to know what is being advertised-the peter pan at the reunion Progressive commercial erks me...alot.

As much as like the commercial All The Stupid Things People Do In A Horror Movie it still takes too long to show who the commercial is for.

Now see, that one isn't so bad. Of course, it sounds like she's got a 20-piece choir behind her, not just two other ladies. And yes, if that's really her she does have a good voice.

I still suspect anyone who goes around bragging how they "nailed" everything ...

That's very interesting - the one they show here is considerably shorter, no fleshing out of the lyrics - basically her and her backup gals just come out and she screams about Christmas not happening without her - no cookies, nothing else. That's why I took offense to it.

Maybe they had a few calls from people like me? :devilish:

Thanks for posting that, Apple - now I have to find a new commercial to hate!
 
Fun facts...hubby has the TV on from when he can feel for the remote as he wakes up...to on a timer for after he goes to sleep. If I were on my own I might not own a television. I have donated at least two hundred books this year while weeding my shelves, and still have a few hundred. Hubby has probably never read anything save for a cookbook cover to cover in his life. If we can make it work well anyone can.
 
The "Sit & Sleep" Mattress company, whose owner always spouts, "Find one for a lower price,

and your mattress is FREEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
 
No, AC, no Chia Obamas, unfortunately.

Plenty of lawyer/lawsuit and personal body issue ones, but those are TOO easy.

I like the targets of my hatred to be unique. :devilish:

I'm actually starting to (horrors!) find ones I like, like the new one for Amazon Prime:

He's obnoxious, but that's what he's SUPPOSED to be! It's the whole point of the commercial, but a lot of people find him annoying. GEICO needs to rethink that one....go back to the little green gekko.

I usually enjoy their commercials and I understood that "Peter" was supposed to embody all the negative traits of youth - obnoxious, irreverent, etc.

You're right, though - they over-estimated their audience.
 
He tells a woman she doesn't look a day over 70, then flies around singing "You make me feel so young"....insulting older people.

What the heck is he doing at a reunion anyway? :confused:
 
There's another radio commercial. I think it's for an auto brand. But the woman is whining about running errands and now she has soccer practice in an hour, sometimes she just feels like she's chasing her tail...poor dear, such first world problems.
