My latest commercial i dont like is the Trivago commercial where you have this scruffy unshaven bum telling us about the best hotel deals i'm sure the guy also has bad breath.

1. Political commercials


2. Any pharmaceutical commercial. But especially the ones for Eliquis, and most especially the one where the guy talks in a stunted cadence off into space before he scores a field goal in basketball (yes I know there are no field goals in basketball).

Some of those pharmaceutical commercials after watching them i havent a clue what they are selling, another odd charachteristic is when they list the side effects, wow thats some serious side effects and i just wonder at the wisdom of taking a product whose side affects sound worse than the problem your are taking the medication for,

Yup, that's one of the things that's so annoying about them. By the time you get through hearing all the warnings and side effects that the lawyers (or the FDA) no doubt insist they list, you've forgotten what the drug was. Or you're convinced you'll never touch the stuff ( remember the 'gas with oily discharge' commercial? ) Not that the commercials aren't annoying without that. What's with the two people in bathtubs everywhere?

I can't stand the annoying, high-pitched voice of the little German boy in the Toaster Strudel commercial.

I also hate ANY commercial that involves a ringing phone. I sleep with the TV on, and that will wake me up every time thinking someone's calling me.

theres multiple topics on many issues, if i did a search on everything i posted to see if it was posted before i'd end up searching all the time instead of posting, maybe if my topic is too redundant for you you could ask a mod to join the 25 topics together..Hows my spelling?
