I'm a Cheez-It lover but this ad might change that. Blech.

A close second would be the Jardience dance numbers, a/k/a "Diabetes, The Musical." Hate 'em.

In fact, I have.

They're not quite as disgusting as when they were talking about skids

Not smart stupid either.

... can't hit the remote fast enough.

His college major is (was) sports broadcasting. He wants to do play-by-play. Maybe he can bring his “a-doe-able” blanket with him in the booth.

It's not like he's such a great spokesperson he can't be replaced with an actual child.

and has been since he was at least 17. I certainly sympathize with his medical condition. However, I don’t believe that has anything to do with his speech impediment.

The way he speaks, and the high squeaky voice of the other spokesperson, Kaleb, is probably effective in getting donations for the hospital. However, he aspires to be a play-by-play announcer. What is a help on the (endless) commercials will likely be a barrier in his chosen profession unless he does some serious work with speech pathologists. I say this as someone who worked in on-air broadcasting for 11 years.

...commonly known as brittle bone disease. There a 4 different types, which vary in severity, and the severity varies from mild with normal life span to severe with death in infancy.

Jeeze.

At least progressive keeps their commercials entertaining.

I posted this on December 20th - A new low has been reached in advertising - talking pee and poop emojis.

Just yesterday, I saw a new ad campaign for Pull-Ups training pants. If I had kids or grandkids of an age to need training pants, I would NOT be buying this brand.

It features a talking drop of urine and a pile of poop with a vaguely British accent. The emojis are sitting on a roll of toilet paper, discussing how proud they are of a child learning to use the bathroom. They even have names - Yureen and Terd. How crude.

Seriously???!!! I thought the Dude Wipes commercial was gross enough. No dignity, no sophistication.

I also despise the perennial most-frequently-mentioned Kars For Kids atrocity, and the Jardiance ads. I'm sick to death of the Flo/Progressive ads, especially Jimmy and the whiny-voiced girl with the sourpuss face.

Dude wipes?! Ew.

Its disgusting!

It's a short ad, but it's still too long.

Trying to be funny but falling flat.
My wife hates the Capital One commercial with Disco Santa.

OMG! I can't stand that one but was trying to remember the name of the company. I mean it's just an creepy, irritating guy doing creepy and irritating things...

has this EVER made anyone want to eat those crackers?

that is so bad, but it is on every break sometimes even repeated on the same break.

When I saw the title to this post, that's exactly the one I thought of: the Cheez-It guy! It is so stupid.
I guess great minds do think alike!

The one where the guy is wearing his baseball cap backwards and sets up a FaceTime conversation with his dad to tell his dad just how great the razor is.

never seen it! Sounds horrible.

......it will pop up (!) on the TV tonight for the first time?

then sees it's melting.

Can't get any stupider.

With a Frisbee.

Stupid squared. Maybe saucered.

attention back when Burger King introduced their creepy king character 3 decades ago. I guess provoking positive good vibes has been overdone in ads. And look at us: we remember the names of the products.

They're for some insurance company. I'd rather become my parents than that asswipe.

The one with the teenage girl going berserk on her family, because she expected "a steak-cation, not a vacation!" You know, the one that seems to be playing 46 times a day, now.

Fortunately I live in an area with plenty of first-rate steakhouses, so I don't ever have to patronize Outback again.

I'm proud to say I can invent all sorts of
mindless stuff to keep me amused -without commercials.
I stopped watching in early November, 2016.
Coincidence?
Perhaps.

Ewwww....

Doctors have a hell of a time with these commercials because they'll present with an illness and demand the most recent wonder drug they saw in the commercial...even if the drug treats something they don't have.

I can imagine they make some people who have never spent a minute in medical school feel like they know just as much as those who have spent years there.

"Hey, these commercials tell you what the medicine treats and what the side effects are. What else is there to know?" It drives me bonkers when they say "ask your doctor about/for..." at the end of those commercials!!

It's the current Safelite commercial with a kid wearing his baseball cap backwards. I can't find a video of it, but I've seen it on TV a lot recently. Besides the backwards baseball cap triggering me, he gives off a smarmy vibe.

One my then best friends who was a cat lover would sing it over the phone, and would not shut up!
Ohhhh, how I wanted to smack her!!!

That's how annoying it was; because I still remember it under the rare "right" circumstance!

They are almost all stupid and pander to the lowest common denominator of the American public.

Our hyper-commercialized capitalism is a big part of the problems that we face as a nation, in my opinion.

But to answer your question, I find the Charmin toilet paper commercials featuring bears (Does a bear shit in the woods?) to be offensive, inane and insulting. We prefer Scott.

Yes I'm shallow.

streaming service I have. It’s ruined me with live TV!

Of course, with most live sports, there’s no way around commercials. However, NASCAR does what they call “side-by-side”, where theyshow commercials on the right side of the screan and the live action on the left at the same time. It’s not too bad.

The old guy with measuring tapes and pencils and a mannequin bust explaining how he designed the "lift and separate" bra. Cringe.

Then there was "ring around the collar" wherein the husband berates his wife because he doesn't know how to shower.

As for today, I'm among the haters of Kars for Kids ad.
