I don’t really pay much attention to commercials. They’re all annoying. The ones I really have a dislike for are the perfume ones. They make no sense, they aren’t humorous. They’re just weird. 😏

There is a cologne commercial with Johnny Depp that confuses me. I thought it was a tequila commercial but I was wrong.
Loading...
I know this one! He’s wearing excessive amounts of mascara while burying something in the desert. Wtf? 😜
Loading...
Right! lol It makes no sense.
Loading...
Bizarre. 😏
Loading...
I don’t watch tv. Yeah!
Loading...
it is evident that you are the smartest one among us…we should just all get rid of the television sets! lol
Loading...
Funny! If it were up to me, we wouldn’t have one; but we do have one tv thanks to my husband.
Loading...
Anything showing women on their periods running on the beach, riding a bike or on a bloody horse. Like yes this is the way it should be. I literally want to throw something at the tv. Same with any chocolate advert who conveys the message that chocolate is naughty or a sin. The only way chocolate is naughty is if you are using a 3 ft smartie tube to smack someone to death with it
Loading...
I don’t like the tampon commercials either. Why do we need those in 2018?? lol
Loading...
Probably because lying on a sofa, with a hot water bottle, a shit ton of chocolate and a large amount of paracetamol doesn’t give the right impression
Loading...
I was afraid about where you were going with that 3 ft smartie tube for a second! LOOOL Sorry!
Loading...
LOL, As I was answering this question I remembered the flake advert, and it just really annoyed me
Loading...
Hehehehe
Loading...
All of them — “Nasty, we hates it.” Even when I did watch TV I avoided them (great invention, the remote control), or at least muted them (always have a book handy).
Loading...
I have Youtube TV which comes with a commercial free option. Well worth it.
Loading...
the bounty paper towel commercial..they refuse to enunciate and the “per roll” comes out as “parole”..drives me absolutely batty!
Loading...
I have not seen that but if I do I’m sure Ill listen for this.
Loading...
I tape/record, and skip.
Loading...
Very smart.
Loading...
That’s me : ))) not!
Loading...
lol
Loading...
Unless it’s PBS, hey, no commercials!!
Loading...
The McDonald’s commercial where the kid gets accepted into college.
Loading...
I have not seen that one. If they were being honest, all McDonald’s commercials would have people dying from eating their food. lol
Loading...
It’s the one where the kid comes in with a letter and asks someone, unclear what the relationship is to read the letter and it is an acceptance letter to a school. t is constantly on and drives me nuts!
Loading...
lol
Loading...
The drug ones where the side effects are longer than the benefits.
Loading...
And they think they are softening the blow by speaking lowly as they run through the 1000 side effects. lol
Loading...
I know! If it says sudden death, I don’t care what it’s for, I’m not taking it!
Loading...
Glad you mentioned that
Loading...
The Geico commercial with that blasted squealing pig! So glad they have stopped airing that one. I almost felt the need to round-house kick their head of marketing!
Loading...
Yeah, that was super annoying!
Loading...
I try not to watch commercials. I have ad blockers on my browsers and turn the channel when they come on television. They just fuel a lot of bad habits, in my opinion.
Loading...
I enjoy ads online that bring my attention to things I would like. For instance I signed up for a monthly subscription for a company that delivers my air filters to the house. convenient
Loading...
True, there are ads with a purpose and there are times that I’m not quick enough with the remote and I see them. But very few. The pushed consumerism just becomes too much.
Loading...
And it is inescapable. Billboards, commercials. banner ads, search ads, ads in bathrooms, ads on radio…lol
Loading...
But in my home, I still have control over my quiet time. And I choose to exercise it there, after being forced everywhere else. I want to minimize the brainwashing while I decompress. When I go looking for it, fine. But until then…
Loading...
One reason I stopped watching, food commercials and coke being poured on ice—that one makes me crave coca cola which I can’t
have.
Loading...
Any of the food commercials are so pricey to be made because of the science behind them, the sizzle sound, the grill marks, the shot of the pour, the added crunch of the lettuce, the cheese that’s actually grated soap. That is all yo tempt you, make you get in your car and buy when you aren’t actually hungry, triggering dopamine and joy receptors. I could’ve just eaten a cookie and seen Häagen-Dazs on the television and crave it for two days. So I know exactly what you are saying.
Loading...
I can’t watch them, if I’m watching TV without recording I mute and read.
Loading...
I actually like the Trivago ads. Or at least I do not find them annoying. But what is driving me CRAZY about them at the moment is that they have dubbed the actor’s voice. He used to be on the ads with his own voice and sometime in the last year they have started to dub him with a voice actor’s voice. Since the on screen actor is an American living in Germany I suspect that the voice is now done by an American resident and this is a union requirement being fulfilled. But it still drives me crazy!
Loading...
The guy in the Trivago ads seems like a cool customer.
Loading...
Yes and I imagine he is making lots of $ with these ads as he has become the Trivago Man. However in England the Trivago ads are done by a woman. Not so interesting IMHO 🙂
Loading...
It is funny how different countries get different marketing strategies.
Loading...
Well our son, who lives in London, said that he thought the young woman was “bland”. So he is a 30 something, millennial, professional and the ads didn’t work for him and the “tribe” at his office.
Funny you’re asking… I recently posted my thoughts about how absurd, useless and annoying toilet paper ads are to me… Here’s the long version;
