The TV commercial I hate the most is ...

[sinkingfeeling]

the Cheez-it one with the slobby guy shedding his clothes, sliding on his stomach, gobbling the crackers. It makes me want to throw up. I hate it!!

[Nittersing]

1. Me too!!!

I'm a Cheez-It lover but this ad might change that. Blech.

[Ocelot II]

2. Kars 4 Kids. Always. I hate it with the intensity of a thousand suns.

A close second would be the Jardience dance numbers, a/k/a "Diabetes, The Musical." Hate 'em.

[dem4decades]

7. I'd donate my car to someone else before them just because of the ad.

In fact, I have.

[happybird]

31. Same lol

[electric_blue68]

50. Baaaahahahaaaaaa! Totally get this! 😄👍

[Danmel]

34. The TV show the Good Place called Kars 4 Kids

Is the theme song to the Bad Place.

[Ocelot II]

38. LOL!

[electric_blue68]

51. Was it ever a TV Comercial? Oh, it Was Annoying Enough as a Radio Ad!!! 🤬🤬😄

[dem4decades]

57. It plays all the time around here.

click with mute on

[electric_blue68]

59. Ohhhh, "joy"! About 3 secs WITH the Mute on! 😄 Blargh!

[LSparkle]

3. Gotta be Blue Chew, baby ... 😆

[WheelWalker]

29. I couldn't agree with you more, comrade!

[XanaDUer2]

4. The Charmin bears

They're not quite as disgusting as when they were talking about skids

[3catwoman3]

11. Whoever came up with that moronically ridiculous line about "Enjoy the go"...

...should be stricken with intractable diarrhea.

[brush]

28. Yeah. The "Enjoy the go" copy writer should fired and made to go.

52. Agree. Almost as bad is Hilton's "For The Stay." Totally meaningless. nt

[underpants]

5. That is really stupid.

Not smart stupid either.

[Mike Nelson]

6. Kars for Kids

... can't hit the remote fast enough.

[JoseBalow]

16. Some commercials make me wonder what the life expectancy is for certain diseases

[rsdsharp]

22. The guy in the red shirt must be 40 by now.

His college major is (was) sports broadcasting. He wants to do play-by-play. Maybe he can bring his “a-doe-able” blanket with him in the booth.

[brush]

30. Yeah, that voice of his is what, contra bass masquerading as a kid?

It's not like he's such a great spokesperson he can't be replaced with an actual child.

[Callie1979]

60. He's 21. And you're making fun of his speech? He's had 60 broken bones.

[rsdsharp]

67. He's 22. He'll be 23 in May. He is a spokesperson for the Shriner's CHILDRENS Hospitals,

Last edited Fri Jan 10, 2025, 03:49 PM - Edit history (1)

and has been since he was at least 17. I certainly sympathize with his medical condition. However, I don’t believe that has anything to do with his speech impediment.

The way he speaks, and the high squeaky voice of the other spokesperson, Kaleb, is probably effective in getting donations for the hospital. However, he aspires to be a play-by-play announcer. What is a help on the (endless) commercials will likely be a barrier in his chosen profession unless he does some serious work with speech pathologists. I say this as someone who worked in on-air broadcasting for 11 years.

[3catwoman3]

39. Both of the patients pictured in your post have osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)....

...commonly known as brittle bone disease. There a 4 different types, which vary in severity, and the severity varies from mild with normal life span to severe with death in infancy.

Here's a link to more info, if you are interested:

And here is a link to an interview with the boy on the left, from October 2024:

[Callie1979]

62. Apparently its also quite an irritant to some here.

Jeeze.

[JoseBalow]

66. No

[LSparkle]

8. "Liberty, Liberty, Liberty ... " click goes my remote

[Omnipresent]

19. It is a tired, old, worn out theme for that insurance company.

At least progressive keeps their commercials entertaining.

[sop]

9. Those Lume deodorant commercials.

[Nittersing]

43. Yes!! Convincing women they stink all over... nt

[3catwoman3]

10. My latest least favorite involves talking excrement - seriously.

I posted this on December 20th - A new low has been reached in advertising - talking pee and poop emojis.

Just yesterday, I saw a new ad campaign for Pull-Ups training pants. If I had kids or grandkids of an age to need training pants, I would NOT be buying this brand.

It features a talking drop of urine and a pile of poop with a vaguely British accent. The emojis are sitting on a roll of toilet paper, discussing how proud they are of a child learning to use the bathroom. They even have names - Yureen and Terd. How crude.

Seriously???!!! I thought the Dude Wipes commercial was gross enough. No dignity, no sophistication.



https://www.designrush.com/news/potty-training-campaign-from-huggies-pull-ups-leo-burnett-animates-poop-pee

I also despise the perennial most-frequently-mentioned Kars For Kids atrocity, and the Jardiance ads. I'm sick to death of the Flo/Progressive ads, especially Jimmy and the whiny-voiced girl with the sourpuss face.

[electric_blue68]

54. Ew. Haven't seen That yet. (Now watch what happens)

Dude wipes?! Ew.

[snowybirdie]

12. Me too

Its disgusting!

[ProfessorGAC]

13. It's Really Stupid

It's a short ad, but it's still too long.

[JoseBalow]

14. Even a term policy?

[QED]

15. The St Jude's and Shriner's ads

[Charmin One]

17. Liberty Mutual ads

Trying to be funny but falling flat.
My wife hates the Capital One commercial with Disco Santa.

[Upthevibe]

24. Charmin One........

OMG! I can't stand that one but was trying to remember the name of the company. I mean it's just an creepy, irritating guy doing creepy and irritating things...

[Skittles]

18. every time I see that one I wonder

has this EVER made anyone want to eat those crackers?

[doc03]

20. I am getting sick of the Walgreens ad with Mr. Lee and Zoey the pharmacist. Not

that is so bad, but it is on every break sometimes even repeated on the same break.

[MIButterfly]

21. LOL!

When I saw the title to this post, that's exactly the one I thought of: the Cheez-It guy! It is so stupid.
I guess great minds do think alike!

[rsdsharp]

23. The Gillette razor for your junk commercial, followed closely by Blue Chew.

[Different Drummer]

25. Currently, it's the Gillette Labs commercial..

The one where the guy is wearing his baseball cap backwards and sets up a FaceTime conversation with his dad to tell his dad just how great the razor is.

[claudette]

26. Thank goodness I've

never seen it! Sounds horrible.

[EarnestPutz]

27. I've never seen a "Blue Chew" commercial and had to look up what it is. Anybody want to bet that.....

......it will pop up (!) on the TV tonight for the first time?

[electric_blue68]

56. Well, I just posted about 2 I haven't seen (no, I did Not look them up), but now I'm waiting. 😄🤬🤬

[multigraincracker]

32. On line casino betting.

[brush]

33. The one with the guy who saved so much on insurance he had a wax figure made of himself...

then sees it's melting.

Can't get any stupider.

[FalloutShelter]

35. Until the statue gets hit in the head

With a Frisbee.

Stupid squared. Maybe saucered.

[brush]

37. Yes. They're both ridiculous.

[applegrove]

36. Skittles ads. They started using dislike as a way to garner

Last edited Sat Jan 4, 2025, 11:12 PM - Edit history (1)

attention back when Burger King introduced their creepy king character 3 decades ago. I guess provoking positive good vibes has been overdone in ads. And look at us: we remember the names of the products.

[Dulcinea]

40. I hate, loathe, & despise those "don't become your parents" commercials.

They're for some insurance company. I'd rather become my parents than that asswipe.

[Callie1979]

65. "Dr Rick" has a real book too. Those commercials are in the top 10 most popular

[Paladin]

41. The new Outback "Steak-cation" ad.

The one with the teenage girl going berserk on her family, because she expected "a steak-cation, not a vacation!" You know, the one that seems to be playing 46 times a day, now.

Fortunately I live in an area with plenty of first-rate steakhouses, so I don't ever have to patronize Outback again.

[Conjuay]

42. Commercials are a large part of the reason I stopped watching television.

I'm proud to say I can invent all sorts of
mindless stuff to keep me amused -without commercials.
I stopped watching in early November, 2016.
Coincidence?
Perhaps.

[OldBaldy1701E]

46. Ironically, there are times where they are the best thing on the telly! (n/t)

[Danmel]

44. All of the Gain ads with people sniffing their clothes

Ewwww....

[jmowreader]

45. I hate ALL commercials for prescription medication

Doctors have a hell of a time with these commercials because they'll present with an illness and demand the most recent wonder drug they saw in the commercial...even if the drug treats something they don't have.

[Different Drummer]

48. Also regarding those commercials...

I can imagine they make some people who have never spent a minute in medical school feel like they know just as much as those who have spent years there.

"Hey, these commercials tell you what the medicine treats and what the side effects are. What else is there to know?" It drives me bonkers when they say "ask your doctor about/for..." at the end of those commercials!!

[Different Drummer]

47. I have a new least favorite.

It's the current Safelite commercial with a kid wearing his baseball cap backwards. I can't find a video of it, but I've seen it on TV a lot recently. Besides the backwards baseball cap triggering me, he gives off a smarmy vibe.

[electric_blue68]

49. From waaaaay the Cat Food one with the "meow, meow, meow..." Melody.... GAH!!! 🤬😄

One my then best friends who was a cat lover would sing it over the phone, and would not shut up!
Ohhhh, how I wanted to smack her!!!

That's how annoying it was; because I still remember it under the rare "right" circumstance!

[PJMcK]

53. Personally, I hate all commercials on TV

They are almost all stupid and pander to the lowest common denominator of the American public.

Our hyper-commercialized capitalism is a big part of the problems that we face as a nation, in my opinion.

But to answer your question, I find the Charmin toilet paper commercials featuring bears (Does a bear shit in the woods?) to be offensive, inane and insulting. We prefer Scott.

[Callie1979]

55. SonaBello OMG my eyes.

Yes I'm shallow.

[Mark.b2]

61. I've gone with the commercial free options for YouTube, Hulu, Peacock, and any other....

streaming service I have. It’s ruined me with live TV!

Of course, with most live sports, there’s no way around commercials. However, NASCAR does what they call “side-by-side”, where theyshow commercials on the right side of the screan and the live action on the left at the same time. It’s not too bad.

[madamesilverspurs]

63. From the wayback ---

The old guy with measuring tapes and pencils and a mannequin bust explaining how he designed the "lift and separate" bra. Cringe.

Then there was "ring around the collar" wherein the husband berates his wife because he doesn't know how to shower.

As for today, I'm among the haters of Kars for Kids ad.

[electric_blue68]

64. A Tangent. A Survey about Ads, or TV Shows for Kids...

One result of it said...

40% reported annoyance at just the word - "Barney".

Omg! Baaaahahahaaaaa! 😄😄😄😄😄
I totally get that!
