I like this guy.

Omega pills made from something found somewhere in New Zealand.

The commercial showing stop motion video of bags under ugly people's eyes that barely go away.

All medicare advantage plan ads.

The opiod addiction ads.

How about when the commercial finally stops and your show is back on? Or is it? Nope, it's just a brief commercial ABOUT your show to get you all excited and to get you to unmute. Then there's a couple more commercials.

At least on HULU, there's a countdown showing so you know if you have time to make a bathroom visit or grab a drink or if it's just going to be a 16-second commercial.

I don't mind so much when the show has been recorded and I can fast-forward through the commercials. More and more, though, you can't fast forward through them.

Every other commercial is about medication. I'm finding this bombardment depressing. It's just too much. I wish it were not legal here. It's not legal in most countries. I really can't stand it anymore, can't flip through commercials, no dvr on my TV.

And they end with "Ask your doctor about wondermed". NOPE.....He did not go to med school to get advice from a commercial.
 
All of the drug and insurance commercials. Have you ever noticed that airlines haven’t advertised for a long period of time? It wasn’t always like that. I flew for United and we had a great motto going that used to be seen a lot if places, including billboards.
“Come fly the friendly skies of United.”

I saw where Pan Am is having a celebration by offering a 12 day Trans-Atlantic European flight for $60,000 per person
I remember when Pan Am and Boeing teamed up to build the first “jumbo jet.” It took Boeing 28 months to build the first 747 per Pan Am requirements. When Boeing did the initial launch, they weren’t sure if it would fly.

An American engineer at Boeing, Joe Sutter is considered the Father of the Jumbo Jet.

For some reason, when they have that countdown (how many seconds left until the commercial ends), I don't mind the commercial so much. Don't know why that should make a difference, I'm stuck with the commercial anyway, maybe it's just the little ray of hope that it gives you that this will end soon. But I put them all on mute anyway. Often, I don't have to look at them, as that's when I get up to get a snack, use the bathroom, or whatever.

Another very annoying thing about commercials is the endless stream of "ask your doctor" ads. A lot of those medical ads are for remedies for very serious medical conditions. "Have heart failure? Ask your doctor about our miracle cures, etc." Almost enough to make me feel sorry for the doctors, getting "helpful" suggestions from people who have just been watching TV.
 
I'm sick of the ones with romantic nirvana due to some product.
Also tired of the perfect families so happy and blissful.
Again, due to one junk food or new car or other product.

I'm even sick of the ones I once thought were funny or cute, that repeated forever become equally annoying or moreso, for some reason I can't fully explain.
Because they took advantage of my initial amusement?
 
I hate seeing ads with a bunch of seniors laughing hysterically in their Retirement Villages, it makes them look like they are on either Meds or
drunk during their "Happy Hour". There is one Retirement Village near my home which shows a billboard with 6 women, in various poses and dress, but the one woman that stands out is in an evening dress leaning on a large Brass Tuba??? Makes you think, "Wouldn't want to live there if she is practising every day"......
 
I'm scared of the Trivago guy with the large, overly white teeth.

On the other hand I occasionally laugh harder at the commercial than the comedy I'm watching. I kind of love Rick the factory working goat.
