The medical and life insurance commercials for people over 55, especially when they use Robert Wagner, Alex Trebek and Kelsey Grammer.>>



The one with the lunch ladies. "They don't care about your aches and pains." Chuckle, chuckle. Good grief. Drives me up a wall.

It's a ridiculous ad campaign.
That and the crazy British woman walking around asking people if they want to try her butt wipes RIGHT NOW. Can't some things just remain a mystery? And that goes for the "feminine odor" (I just don't feel like myself) ads, as well.

Default more stupid commercials!

The toothpaste commercial with that pretty, hyper young woman always looking directly into the camera, so thrilled with her teeth--"he's gonna think I'm seeing another dentist!"

"Must be the honey!"

New one for a fancy drug addict center in California

Insurance commercial with kids injuring their parents in "humorous" ways

"Phone, keys gum!"

Yep. I remember "back in the day" when the greatest thing about cable was NO commercials! Now, like you said, it seems to be more commercials on cable than there are on network television.

The cheerios commercial where they show infants stuffing cheerios into their faces one by one with the sound heavily amplified. Ugh, nails on the chalkboard, which is why I think they stopped airing it.

I don't know how local these ads are, but we have the free digital channels so no I can't fast forward.
1.) Jack's Wholesale Windows where he either does a spin off of Dos Equis Most Interesting man, or something to do with the mob
2.) every other ad is for some ambulance chasing law firm Keller & Keller, or Sam Bernstein, or the law firm ads for some medical lawsuit, bad artificial hips, vaginal mesh, birth defects due to medication, anti-depressants that cause teen male breast growth.
3.) Rose City motors, and the Sun-dance Chevrolet ads
4.) ads on satellite/ cable that are more than 2 minutes. I've seen ads for abused animals, starving kids, gold coins, old man wiener medication, etc.....go for about 2-5 minutes.
