That one pisses me off, too.
So does the Liberty Mutual commercial where the mom proudly says how their roadside assistance kept her idiot son who couldn't figure out how to change a tire safe.

The newest commercial to really irritate me is the one for Geico with Mcgruff the Crime Dog or whatever it is supposed to be.

The TV/Cable version is insufferable.

I have the curse, or the gift of never forgetting a face. I remember people in ads going back to the early '60s. I recently saw one for adult incontinence supplies and recognized the 50 something "star" of it as a woman who used to be eye candy in ads and TV shows about 25-30 years ago. Latest person who is "hot" is this guy, who had low testosterone, and now has type 2 diabetes, taking two different meds for it:
Over the years, an actress or actor will be in a flood of ads over a couple of year period, then disappear, and then come back, again and again. A lot of the 50-60 year olds in ads now, I remember from 30-40 years ago. It's become a thing of mine to try to find out their names and look at old pics of them. There was a woman on one of the medication ads that was spectacular looking back in the early 80's. I saw her and recognized her instantly. I have a friend who doubted it was her, and he bet me $20. I won, I'm rarely ever wrong when it comes to that kind of thing.

Not hardly, they are garbage. Sadly, I can sing all the cigarette ad songs.from 40 years ago, and remember products long gone. But I constantly forget stuff when I'm shopping. Or when I'm going to work, etc.
My mom and my last GF gave me endless crap about it. My mom claimed I did it on purpose. That made me laugh.

The Liberty Mutual advertisements are so annoying that I felt the need to start a thread about it, but figured I should check first to see if there was one already and found this not too old thread.
I have a new idea for a Liberty Mutual add tag line,
“Liberty Mutual, insurance for stupid people that don’t know how to drive”
There, got that off my chest.

The J.G. Wentworth commercials are the pits! Who is their target audience and how do these commercials reach them?

They are almost all SO awful! I hit the mute button for every commercial break and turn on the radio.
On the bright side....pun intended....is the current ad for the Google Pixel phone featuring Queen’s ‘Flash’s Theme’
