re: TV Commercials That Are So Bad You Won't Buy The Product or Don't Know what the product is

Any commercial that resembles a College brochure...
You know the ones where a group of "friends" are hanging out watching some sport on TV and the Ads about some drink or potato chip...
And there's like a census box the director checked in casting as all these so-called "organic friendships" just miraculously have one black guy, an Asian girl, a hipster white guy...a latino girl, a black girl and some random dudes holding hands in the background.
It's so cloying. It's like the product is screaming "have we represented EVERYBODY on the planet?" Do we need Aliens? Will Aliens get offended now?

How on earth did anyone think this was a good marketing campaign for food?

I mean, they’re based in Denver so I’m guessing someone got really high and then sank the company.

Many countries won't let Subway call their bread "bread" because it has so much sugar in it and these "athletes" are trying to convince us to eat there for our health? frick you.

I'm assuming Billy Gardell got paid a shite load for that commercial because it makes em look really feckless and weak.
He's a hilarious stand up comedian and can't believe they didnt use that talent in the commercial

I'll never use Uber eats because of the male effeminate gymnast.
I can't believe they are still running those damn commercials

Really? I didn’t know that.
The only things I’ve seen him was that pretty bad Mike & molly, and the preview to some awful looking sitcom where he was married to a black chick.

You can look up his stand up routines on YouTube.Talented guy IMO.

Can confirm. Saw him a couple of years ago when we had free tickets. Was really surprised at how hard we (and pretty much everybody) were laughing.
The guy who was his buddy that went on before him was pretty funny too.

Bob Hearts Abishola. It's actually a pretty decent show. They're not married yet, just engaged.

I don’t know if they play these on tv as I don’t have cable, but it plays incessantly on streaming and YouTube….
Google Fi has these song commercials where literally no part of the song rhymes are follows any set rhythm. I honestly think they designed it in a lab to be as annoying as possible.

Starbucks has one trying to get kids to buy some fruity-arse drink with more sugar than a Mountain Dew and the subtext is: "Buy this drink so you can have a diverse group of friends, too!"

Any commercial with non-descript beige people of all muddied ethnicities.
Same for the ham-fisted approaches to the various interracial couples just to be edgy.

I like Emu & Doug ads. I also like Flo for progressive, but I’d never buy their stuff.

LiMu and Doug aren't even Liberty Mutual's worst series of commercials.
The ones with people talking to the camera with the Statue of Liberty in the background are awful. None worse than the guy selling wet teddy bears.

Sonic commercials have gotten to a point that they annoy me so much i don't want to eat there. The people in the cars are just so damn annoying!

I've always liked Progressive commercials. At the very least, compared to everything else out there, they are far from the most annoying/cringe.
Liberty commercials fricking suck.
