re: What advertisements are so bad or obnoxious that you swear off the product?

I swore off progressive because of Flo, but now have it because it saved me money

I can swallow my pride for savings

Nike. Colin Kaepernick.

Evamore and just about anything Moscona pushes

The commercials for Headon.

“Headon, apply directly to the forehead.”

It was like the commercial was trying to give you a headache so that you’d have to buy Headon.


I haven’t seen those commercials in ant least a decade and I don’t even know if the product exists anymore. But that commercial was so bad that it’s impossible to forget.

quote:

---

Cheeze Its- Where kid looks like he is about to kiss girlfriends dad.

I can't remember if it's cheezeits or not but you reminded me of the commercial where this geeky looking dude goes to his girlfriend's house to watch the big game. He's wearing UNC gear and opens teh door and the whole family is all head to toe Duke.

Idk if the ad execs are goobers that don't know anything about sports or the target audience for cheezeits doesn't watch sports, but that is a scenario that simply would not possibly ever happen. How in teh absolute frick could it? If the girl asks the dude to come watch the game, surely at some point in their relationship up to and directly following that moment it would be discussed of what teams they like? It pisses me off just thinking about it.

I considered switching banks because of Jennifer Garner. I just find her annoying.

ETA there has to be an industry term for this we don't know about.
"Negative advertising" or something.

Liberty Mutual Insurance ….. overkill big time.

The commercials were annoying of and in itself, and it turns out it was really just a scam to pay for some Jewish kids’ trips to Israel.

I find the “We are Farmers” commercials to be pretty annoying.

Still, nothing compares to the old Headon commercials.
