I'm right there with you. And Doctors hate them as well. They have to deal with patients who diagnose themselves and come in thinking that they need a particular drug. Doctors know of these drugs, and will prescribe them if they think you need them without any damn commercial. The commercials for Lyrica are my least favorite. My wife takes it and even with insurance the drug is fricking expensive. It would be a whole lot more affordable if the drug company wasn't spending millions of dollars on television ads.

Yeah, I have both mild type 2 diabetes and peripheral artery disease, so the drug companies would love me to ask the doctor to prescribe lyrica for the attendant neuropathy. The listed potential side effects are more than enough to get a giant NOPE out of me. Vascular doctor says, "...we could give it to you if the foot pain gets bad enough, but you're way better off without it if you can bear the discomfort."
 
All of the Charles Barkley/Samuel L. Jackson/Spike Lee commercials during March Madness this year. They managed to take 3 personalities that are tolerable-to-enjoyable separately, and made them utterly excruciating in tandem.

Re: Liberty Mutual, I can't stand how their target audience is, basically, people who are careless and flaky with their cars. As a millennial, I'm particularly embarrassed by the ones featuring twenty-somethings; they basically perpetuate every negative stereotype that older people have about our generation.

My guess is that you are a member of the Metformin club; it is a big club.

Can we all agree we hate the creepy Burger King commercials?


Expand ...

I agree. In fact I was going to post the exact same feeling. Although I sometimes like to stop by Burger King, their commercials really suck. The king man talks but doesn't move his lips, Thinking of the commercial where he is at the podium.

Any and all commercials for prescription drugs. "May cause suicidal feelings." I don't know if they are talking about the drug's side effects of the commercial.

Absolutely Rich. Actually I think they are funny in a way "why would people break out in hives, the s**ts, sleepiness, etc, to get rid of a headache."

I have TiVo, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. What's a commercial?

My local radio station has a commercial that begins with a police siren. I pull over at least a couple times a month. Pisses me off.

I'm bringing this up if I ever get cited for not pulling over.

LOL time the same here. Car audio has improved so much over the years, it brings reality in your life. Or car.
 
This isn't a hated commercial but I think my favorite. I still quote "All we need is 1 pin Rodney" whenever I go bowling.

Just about every Geico commercial on TV and radio.
Expand ...
Thanks Rico I was trying to think one myself, however GIECO are not bad, some are funny. HOWEVER the one I change channel is the two dudes with Uke's? Stiffs, both of them.

"You don't have to be lonely at farmers only dot com". Want to face smash the loud annoying woman that's a staple in every one of their commercials. Why the loud screaming shriek that somehow avoids my televisions loudness control? I swear the shriek comes in at 20 decibels louder than the rest of the commercial.
 
There's that one for like some Totoyta truck or something. They bring the three guys to some place and they're like "pick the best saw to saw this piece of wood," and then they saw the wood, and then the guy is like "see, you should buy this truck!" I don't understand how a commercial like that gets made. I feel like, at some point, someone had to actually watch the commercial, and you'd think they'd say "hey, there is no logical connection here."
 
Every time the Got Junk commercial comes on I immediately switch the channel. Do the Flintstone Kids know these bastages stole their song?

My favorite part about those commercials is the opening line: "These are real people, not actors." Because, as we know, actors aren't real people.

"I've fallen and I can't get up"!! Why would anyone buy a product from a company that leaves a woman helplessly lying on the ground.

Ambulance chasing lawyer ads. You won't pay unless we settle and in small print - when we settle we also take your soul.

Flucken political ads: This country went downhill in a big way when the Supreme Court allowed super PAC's the ability to raise unlimited monies.

It's only stereotyping if inaccurate. Don't try to kid us. We weren't born yesterday! ;)

What's your all time most hated commercial? Pretty much all smartphone/wireless commercials top the list, but as far as ones that aren't in that category, this commercial for Hellmann's Dijonnaise is quite possibly mine."Five Dollar Foot Long" and "Napa Know How" are close followers.

ATT girl is cute as hell. I wouldn't mind if she were in every commercial.
 
The problem with a thread like this is remembering all the crappy commercials and not being able to get 'em out of my head! On that note, Kars for Kids. Oof

This *ing commercial.

Because it makes no sense whatsoever unless they are purposely trying to imply that the guy is going to abandon his family at the end of it.
Expand ...


That makes this my favorite commercial on TV.

Shingles anyone?

Gawd, that is a gross commercial. Guy goes to work with half his face lit up. No way. Another guy at the driving range drives one and his shirt lifts up exposing shingles. Wow.

After seeing this image, I agree.
 
So I gotta suffer through this and explain it while kids are present. SMH . They play these anytime during the day and in between most major sporting events.
