Especially one in particular. They are all awful. The emu thing has just gotten tedious. The latest batch of "Flo" ads I've never even seen all the way through (I just mute them and turn away from the TV). The worst ones may be the "Car Shield" ads with Ice-T, which don't even try to be funny, they're just bad. The only ones that I did actually find funny for a while were the Progressive "sign spinner" ads (the guy playing the sign spinner is kinda cute lol) - but even those have overstayed their welcome. The really weird thing is how it feels to me that the car insurance ads in particular (and the ads for cars themselves) seem to have picked up a lot in the last year. So - during the worst of the pandemic, people were staying home more, travelling less, and yet this was the time to sell cars and car insurance??? + FrankR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcguy20 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) How am I just discovering this thread?! The Almond Breeze song makes my ears bleed. Hate the Liberty Wet Teddy Bears guy. Car insurance commercial with the creepy singing hood ornament. The Volvo commercial which featured "The Parents" song by Pete Seegar. I couldn't reach for the mute button fast enough every time that frigging song started Edited June 11, 2021 by dcguy20 MiamiLooker, + Charlie, harlow and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becket Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 The mesothelioma ad. The same sad woman and her sad, sincere single line: "Call for the free book. And receive SO MUCH MORE." harlow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pete Seeger song ("Hard Times In The Mill") is a classic, and I don't mind hearing it. But to me it doesn't make any sense in relation to the ad. The song *seems* to want to tell us (in this context) that the couple HATES parenthood, comparing it to the drudgery of working at a mill. If so, they really should give their kids to more worthy parents. Edited June 12, 2021 by bostonman + FrankR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ g56whiz Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Last year I spent months in a hospital bed drooling over Appleby ads on TV while only getting hospital gruel three times a day. Can’t watch them anymore without remembering my frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Charlie Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I have to mute the Joe Namath/Jimmy Walker ads for enhanced Medicare in which you get "all the benefits you are entitled to!" They always end with "Call now! It's FREEE!!" What they mean is that the call is free, not the insurance which they will try to sell you. harlow and samhexum 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islesguy Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 The only commercial have liked recently was the Tag Team Geico commercial. Maybe it's the memory of the song from my youth or the embarrassed look on the daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlow Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Any State Farm commercial with Patrick Mahomes or Aaron Rogers. Mahomes has the most annoying frog voice and Rogers always moves mumbles the other person's lines while he's waiting to say his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boink Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 OK, I can't take this one anymore. I generally like Melissa McCarthy, but this is one of the all time stupidest commercials I have ever seen in my life! "Buying a house is hard, so I'm breaking things. I heard it brings good luck."

+ purplekow Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 For some reason an ad featuring Charles Barkley and Chris Redd as the voice in his head is amusing to me. I just enjoy the way Chris Redd does his Barkley impression. " You son't want to be a knuckle head. Are you hun gree. I am hun gree, We are hun gree".
