re: Commercials that actually make you NOT want to buy a product

The commercial that I like is SeroVital.

It features Kim Lyons at first. All 50 years old women should look that good.

Virtually all commercials suck. Virtually all of them seem to have similar formulas these days. It's like they intentionally steer away from what the world actually looks like.

Who made the rule that every drug commercial has to have fat people singing a terrible song? That's what I want to know.

Or talking about bleeding from the perineum.

Any drug commercial. They should not be aired at all.

I was going to say anything with fat ugly freaks singing and dancing.

Taking it a bit further though... Any product being pushed by what seems to be the most unfortunate looking individuals that appear to actively try to look awful.

Advertisers should stick to using only attractive people and ditch the "everyday ordinary common person" pitch. If I wanna look like a version of Rosie O'donnell I'll kill myself before taking your product. Gimme the old school "beautiful people use our product" commercials like soft drinks used to do.

Haven’t seen a sonic commercial with those two guys in it in a long time it seems.

My Pillow

Most all of them, but especially the drug ads with their nasty side effects disclaimers, the Lume woman with the smelly groin product and those personal injury leech parasites that are advertising between TV and billboards.

The modelo and State Farm commercials.

This may not count, but both governor candidates where I live are running absolutely moronic commercials to which I won't vote for them.
