Commercials You Hate

The Stanley Steamer commercial where the kid slaps himself in the nuts
 
At least you guys DON'T gotta listen to Car Commercials written, directed & produced down here in NE Tennessee... I'll freely admit to having "A Accent" & not ALL the time using the King's English... But, Gawdamighty, SOME of these Scmuckelovitches make Jethro Bodine look like a Nobel Prize winner... There's one phckhead named T.C. Baker who sounds dumber than 6 boxes of Rocks, & has a worse accent than the guy who lived/worked on our farm, & NEVER spent a ay in school.. And these Jerkovs are PROUD they sound so effin' DUMB..
 
Based on all the f`kn pharma commercials being aired, if ETs landed here and saw a TV, they would think the entire planet was terminally ill. There is one particular med being hyped (forget which one) in which they advise "Do not give to anyone under the age of six". And, in the next breath, "Do not give to anyone between six and eighteen"....WTF ?
 
Kars For Kids! TV or radio - - the jingle needs to die!

Absolutely!! Here in LA they run that on the all news station. Years ago the LA Times checked it out and exposed it as pretty much a scam that barely sends 10% to a very infrequent and run down camp. For the life of me I don't understand why a news station can't vet the advertisers and weed out the crap.
 
Any and all advertisements -- televised, sound-only broadcast, web (Utoob?), etc. -- pertaining to the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and/or Marines. This includes any such advertisements re: National Guard.

U.S. Army Airborne Ranger, LRRP, OP-39 SPB, 1978-1985.

I know of what I speak.

P.S. I am, for the moment, giving the the U.S.C.G. service a pass.
P.P.S. No grudge or gripe re: The DoD; IMO the adverts, simply stated, attract the wrong element.

I think you just described every "singer" on "country" radio today! When forced to listen to their drivel, I wonder how anyone can take them seriously!
 
Ones I actually miss are those from a few years back (insurance company?) with Beck Bennett (SNL) interacting with a bunch of little kids. Very droll & enjoyable.
 
I don’t bother to consider them.....

But there are hints of useful advice between advertisements on the radio.
 
Any of the Medicare supplement insurance hacks but especially United Healthcare. They used to only hawks their sh*t during open enrollment (Oct. - Dec.) but this year it has been constantly. constantly. constantly. constantly.
Somebody please hand me another barbecue fork.
 
Progressive insurance, pretty much all of them anymore.

Car dealer commercials. Stop yelling at me.

Commercials for TV news programs where the reporter is walking briskly towards the camera while they talk. I guess I'm supposed to go "wow, they are intense this must be good"
