Commercials You Hate

What are those commercials that just plain bug you?

For me....Febreze..."Wash it?"

And lately...the gold guy bowling in the KFC commercial

Do you get the Bill Fusillo car sales ads out of Tampa?

The one where the guy tells me that I didn't read my car insurance policy. How does he know? I read everything.

Any ad that states "Get the XYZ you deserve"
You only deserve it if you can pay for it yourself, anything else is "Get the XYZ the taxpayers give you"

The prescription drug ads.

I believe that showing any commercial that is totally inappropriate for children (erectile dysfunction/alcohol/prescription drugs/etc.)...should not be allowed.

Children, Adolescents, and Advertising | FROM THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS | Pediatrics

Quote:

What is increasingly apparent is the discrepancy between the abundance of advertising of products for erectile dysfunction (ED) (between January and October, 2004, drug companies spent $343 million advertising Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis) and the lack of advertising for birth control products or emergency contraceptives on the major TV networks.

This is despite the fact that 2 national polls have found that a majority of Americans favor the advertising of birth control on TV. Ads for ED drugs give children and teens inappropriate messages about sex and sexuality at a time when they are not being taught well in school sex education programs.

Research has definitively found that giving teenagers increased access to birth control through advertising does not make them sexually active at a younger age

The Allstate ads. Especially the one where they say they researched the new car, then smashed it into a tree. Then they're astounded the company raised their rates. YOU SMASHED A NEW CAR INTO A TREE, IDIOT!

I love the one with the big tough guy playing teapot with his little girl. But I guess that's a public service announcement, not a commercial
I hate all the prescription drug ads telling you all the ways you can die from using that drug.

Matthew McConaughey and Lincoln Commercials.

These bug me a bit but he does seem to be raking on the money for them.

I did love watching the Mercury Girl. She recently got married. :( One of my people I follow on Facebook.

Jill Wagner. She was a "host" of Wipe-Out too.
