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!


They're better than those two functional retards that were in the commercials for 5 years prior, but that's not saying much.

The Verizon commercials with Kate McKinnon. She's very odd and irritating.

For me it's the Geico Gecko. If I ever run into that smug little lizard in an alley I will save him 100 percent on life insurance by stomping his green arse without hesitation.

And the Capital One guy saying they have banking "re-imagined". WTF does that mean? Like up until now banking was imaginary?

I'm also put off, but less so, by every pharmaceutical ad showing people with very serious health problems dancing and singing their way through a fabulous life because of drugs and then end with a warning that serious side effects, like death for instance, have been known to occur.

I listen to Pandora at work, but I refuse to pay for the no-commercials version. Last year, Tide had a series of commercials with people singing about stains on their shirts to classical music.

So you'd have a guy singing to Beethoven's 5th:

A mustard staaaaaiiinnn
On my white shiiirrrrtttt

I hated those commercials so much that I'd mute Pandora. I tweeted Tide that their sucky commercials made me switch to Gain.

No cables for me either, but Hulu Live still has commercials. Drives me nuts.

Thats the only streaming service I have that has commercials and its the one I use the most. Drives me nuts because they play the same commercials, mainly advertising Hulu. Im like I already have your stupid service, I dont need Hulu commercials.

We're still going to get Madison Ave virtue signaling their asses off for another year. They buy up this shite 13 weeks at a time.

By the time the John Legend "This is our shot" commercial expires, I'm hoping that fraud will be in GTMO.

Good lord, what the frick was the point of that Hieneken commercial?

We're all gonna act like social pariahs and zombies who can't touch or pick-up girls in a bar but hey, at least we have Heineken?

That was like an advert TO NOT GO OUT to a bar and drink Heineken.

They might as well just had a commercial of some dude buying 100 cases of Heineken wearing a Hazmat suit and rushing back to his apartment to drink alone in the dark.

Stupid commercial with the guy singing a song in convertible then the metal hood ornament starts signing the same crappy song .
It came one a million times during the ncaa tourney.
The absolute worst.


That's Geico.

Come to think of it, Progressive, Allstate and Geico are all TURRBLE. So turrble that Charles Barkley says they turrble.

Normally don’t watch TV, but on vacation watching the Steve Irwin’s kids show on Animal Planet with my family. First commercial break they had some ad pop up about Botox and the first words out of this guys mouth was “I first met my husband…” and he starts crying. My kids were instantly confused and my wife turned it off before another word was spoken…I have no clue why the ad agency felt that was the right ad for that show’s demographic…but here we are…

The Quiznos “rats with gingivitis” commercials, I have never eaten there solely because of this arse.

Any insurance commercial, how often are people changing insurance companies to justify that advertising budget?

Also, while I don’t mind the gecko, “You could save up to 15% or more by switching to Geico” is a mathematically meaningless statement.

You COULD (meaning there’s a chance you’ll actually spend more) save UP TO 15% (meaning it could be less than 15%) or more on car insurance by switching to Geico. In that statement no a single number, including negative ones, doesn’t fit that definition.
