Worst commercials
 
I just caught a few seconds of muscular men pulling open their pands and pouring powder down them, and now I want to toss my eyes in the shower.

I know I would like to watch an hour of television and not have to watch a commercial with Shaquille O'Neill.

Or ANY Liberty Mutual commercial.

I only hate the ones that try to sell you something.


God I love the intraweb!

What bothers me is that commercials today that are trying to sell you something never tell you how much the product costs, they only tell you how much this product will save you if you buy it.

The YouTube ads for Google Fi are beyond lame.

I have not seen them, but Google Fi itself is lovely, as a service. Highly recommend it.

Really? No clue what it is & I try to tune out the ads.

It's an add on for the chrome browser and blocks ads on youtube amongst other things.

It's a cell phone service provider run by Google. I switched to it from Verizon a few years ago and heavily prefer it.

Got it. Moot for me as my cellphone is a $12 flip-phone for emergency use only.

Thanks for the tip. I mostly use Firefox but have been annoyed since Ad Block stopped working on YouTube ads properly.

I use Firefox too and Iridium is also available for Firefox as an add-on.

*Edit: In reading about the browser add-on Iridium, I learned that Youtube changed it's layout design recently so that Iridium and other add-ons designed for enhancing the Youtube experience might not fully work...

I really hate all those fitness product ads on YouTube, and ads with that happy/fluffy music in it.


I especially hate those YouTube ads where some dude pretends they know a secret as a way to lure people.

I don't know what it's advertising, but there's a current commercial with Jimmy "JJ" Walker advertising something as "Dyn-o-mite", and it's the most annoying commercial ever.

Fortunately almost everything I watch is recorded on the DVR, so I can fast forward through the commercials. :)

I think it's for some kind of Medicare supplement - perhaps similar or the same as the one Joe Namath does a commercial for.

You're probably right. I don't know what Joe Namath is advertising either, but he's much less annoying than Jimmy Walker.

I miss the days when commercials were fun, like the old Blockbuster Video commercials with Carl and Ray. The only fun commercials we have now are the m&m commercials.
