Commercials You Hate

[eteller]

All the Liberty Mutual commercials!

 

[Bill Ferris]

I don't watch TV, nor listen to the radio anymore.
There's nothing on either that attracts me.
I even quit listening to spotify because of their damn ads, and I'm not paying for their streaming service.

But ads must work, otherwise they wouldn't be everywhere.
But I really can't think of anything I ever bought because I saw or heard a commercial.
On the same note, I've never bought anything because someone cold called me on the phone.

When I finally kicked DTV out of the house it was mostly because the programming and the commercials seemed to be catering to people with the mentality of a six year old.

, , = Yes ! My perception/experience, as well, bbqjoe, Sir. !!

oops....hate

Maybe it's blasphemy living in metro Detroit, but I can't stand the same old Buick commercials they've been running for a number of years now. The music in the background drives me crazy.

All the Liberty Mutual commercials!

I was going to mention these too! Trying way too hard to be cute and / or ironic. Pretty much par for the course for almost any insurance ad these days.

Limu Emu and Doug. I'd just really like to kick Doug in the nuts while I am wearing my Gorilla steel toed work boots. That would be very satisfying.

For me, it is the commercials that inherently prey upon the indigent and old. Reverse mortgage people, I'm talking to you.

The vaginal mesh lawsuit ones are hard to stomach as well.

Granted, Tim, I haven`t watched any outside TV in over a decade, but what in the world is Vaginal mesh, that you`re referring to^^^ ?
If not too disturbing for you, could you care to enlighten me ?
Thanks.

IPADave has given you the lowdown, Bill.
Oddly enough, my maw in law is dealing with this right now. Had that done to help her with incontinence and prolapse. Horrible.

Ok then, Dave.
Thanks.

Pharmaceutical ads. USA and New Zealand are the only countries that allow that crap to be aired. Nothing but drug pushers with a high price tag. It's disgraceful.

Yes, Tim, Mr. Dave`s link enlightened me.
I wonder if my caregiver/house keeper had mentioned this to me some time back, and it didn`t sink in.

She usually stays on top of things, and advises me of anything she thinks I might be interested, or affected by.
I`ll bring it up when she arrives today, to see what she has to say about it.

Hoo boy, Bill, I sure hope you aren't affected by a trans-vaginal mesh, my friend.

Pun intended?

 

[Sandy G]

Hoo-Boy, I LOVES all th' ones where they go on & on about people's Pee-Pee & Ca-Ca troubles... Didn't any of these yahoos ever get Mama's lectures about things People DON'T Talk About ?!? Except Bilious Adam Hotels like Yrs Trly... And all the SCREAMING Ambulance chasing Lawyers... Good Gawd Amighty ! Terminate all these Miserable Yo-Yos... Terminate w/Extreme Prejudice ! (Was that not one of the BEST lines in a movie, EVER, or what ?!? Personally have Cribbed it about a blue Gazillion times, myself since '79, when it came out..)

How 'bout those locally produced shouters that sound like they are crapping a cinder block reading the copy.

Me too, Mr. Tim, trans-vaginal, might be the least of my problem !!
Gender change, probably would be my primary concern, and how in the Hell did it happen, and was I drunk !

During my radio days, we called that "puking into the microphone". Think car dealers, state fair ads, and tractor pulls.
