What commercials do you hate the most?

[fuzzyroes]

None that are recent really come to mind, but a few from the past that piss me off are:

- That whole-grained-oat cereal commercial where the narrator goes on raving about all the delicious ingredients only to conclude by saying ".... But you won't likee it!" It's trying to imply that the average folk doesn't want to eat healthy foods,which is fair enough, but if you're trying to sell a product you probably shouldn't end with that.

- This old stupid taco-bell commercial were theres a sale on tacos and this creepy guy in the line assumes that since the price is so cheap that the girl behind the counter is hitting on him and giving him a special discount. She's all creeped out and the guy just won't give it up... It was extremely distasteful and only about 10 years old... That shit definitely wouldn't fly nowadays.

I haven't had a television since 2005 when I live with my parents.

Anthony Keidis addresses this life-perspective with the poignant lyrics of his song "throw away your television" on the critically and commercially successful album by the way.

the TV Commercials from the Trump Era were pretty bad

[MyOneAndOnly]

this Ashton Kutcher in brownface ad is annoying

[LaBelle]

All of the ones that try to sell stuff based on lifestyle.

Thanks for making me feel judged TV!

[reprise85]

I have no television. Sorry fuzzy.

[FlamingGlobes]

Just the repetitive ones that freeze up YouTube every so often. The benefit of only using Netflix and Hulu (the "premium" membership) is that you don't have to suffer through the inane bullshit.

There's Youtube Red too.

[Run To Me]

Same here, no live tv hookup, no commercials

ever heard of adblock? once in a while i fire up youtube at school and remember that it has ads

Count me up as one of the people who don't have any form of TV at home. All the content I watch is either youtube, netflix, straight up piracy or going to the movie theater.

However, as someone who works in the audiovisual industry and took an advertising specific course, I have had to watch a lot of ads for professional reasons.

The one where that asshole is talking about his rental Lamborghini in his rental garage of his rental house with his fake wall of books he doesn't read because he just admittedly reads the Cliffs Notes.

Does it offer any additional content you can't already access? Because I can't think of a good reason to pay for YouTube otherwise. I'm OK with the occasional glitchy ad. Heck, most of them let you skip after 5 seconds.

Yeah, I use an ad-blocker but I usually only watch YouTube on my TV (via the PS3). I hate watching things on my laptop.

I think there is original content... but I was just saying, I don't subscribe to red and don't really care about the ads that much, like you said, it's easy to skip them.

That's the thing I can't stand about football. Usually if I'm planning on watching a game I'll have the game recording and tune in about an hour later, and then that way I can just fast-forward through that shit.

I'd probably do away with TV too if I wasn't such a sports junkie.
