(6,448 posts)That Chevy guy with the "not actors" makes me want to upchuck as much as Flo does.
That's where ad nauseum comes from.

(4,458 posts)The over the top stereo-type accent made it funnier.

(82,849 posts)What, you don't go out and spend $100,000 on motor vehicles without consulting your spouse? Loser!
I had a friend who had what he called "rathole money." It was the amount of money he or his wife could spend without checking with the other. When they first got married, it was twenty bucks. Years later, it had gone up to a hundred bucks. I can't imagine the scenario where I'd do what that commercial depicts.

The Figment
(494 posts)There a set of ads that ask for monthly donations for a bunch of different organizations,all good organizations mind you,but they all want $19 bucks a month and will send you a "gift" that includes a t-shirt.
What upsets me is the totally pro photography, the heart tugging music, the carefully crafted voice over, the "last chance" tagline,you get the point
I don't mind that these organizations asking for help I just hate it when some Madison Avenue ad agency plays with my emotions, obviously hires a psych team and spends way too much making these ads.
I wonder how much of ones monthly donations are tax deductible.

(4,164 posts)What I have to mute are the Bounty paper towel commercials with everyone yelling NOOOOOOOO!

(100,060 posts)There's a Charmin commercial that comes on and they say "Hey! If you drink that extra large soda, you'll wind up going to the bathroom 5 minutes into the movie!". Like they're predicting my own bowel movements now?
Delmette2.0
(4,164 posts)As if the the movie theater provides Charmin.

(13,868 posts)But the two that will cause me to mute or change he channel are Wayfair (I think its mainly their horrible music) and Liberty Insurance, which is particularly offensive because I know that they specialize in high-risk drivers who have to pay exorbitant premiums.
We have the meats! also drives me nuts.

(6,843 posts)My wife was an insurance broker for years. Dont drive like a jackass and you wint pay through the nose. She used to refuse to insure sone drivers and they would become irate.

(6,474 posts)...still just as annoying during Christmas season
Much rather look at the "lovely people" in the GMC commercial
thanks for the thread so I could vent
Initech
(100,060 posts)Also I can't stand the creepy Sprint guy either.

(205,127 posts)Looks like the 1971 Plymouth Duster I inherited from my mother when I first had my license in the early '80s.
Vinca
(50,255 posts)the first 7 or 8 thousand times I saw them. The Christmas commercial that drives me nuts is the PCmatic ad with the faux rock band. I would never buy their product just because of their ads.

(20,365 posts)All those other Chevy commercials must have hired MAGA idiots.

(100,060 posts)Last year I saw a Honda ad that said something like "Hey! Remember the feeling that you got when you gave your special someone that new Accord? Do it again this year!". Yeah sure, turn a $30,000 loan into a $60,000 one. Why not? YOLO!

(6,212 posts)I change the channel when it comes on. It is extra creepy.
Tipperary
(6,930 posts)Guess I have missed that one.
Tracer
(2,769 posts)reach for the mute as fast as I can, especially that Infinity ad with the woman sing-screeching something about "goin' to the mountain".
But for un-annoying and cute ads --- the Subaru ads with the Golden Retriever family win my vote. Especially the car wash ad.
(Disclosure: I drive a Subaru)

(24,395 posts)$2-million mansion and the guy buys $120,000 in trucks (that will never be driven during a drizzle, let alone off-road) as early Xmas stocking stuffers?
That ad?
Well, at least the girl is kinda hot...😱
Initech
(100,060 posts)Like really, advertisers think that we have the gross domestic product of a small country to spend on gifts. Most of us can barely afford one of those giant bows.
A HERETIC I AM
(24,365 posts)"Hi! We're the Affluent's! I'm Chase and this is my wife, Citi. We're unbelievably loaded, even though we have only been grownups for 12 years! You see, my dad is the CEO of the Color Blue, and her dad is President of Oxygen, so we went through college and came out debt free and started immediately working at jobs that paid a half million a year. So I bought us two pickup trucks the day after Thanksgiving, just to rub your fucking nose in it!"

(1,255 posts)IMO. I change the channel when one comes on
Archae
(46,314 posts)It still can't hold a candle to ANY of the prescription ads.
Including the ones aimed at people suffering bipolar.
Rhiannon12866
(205,127 posts)Diseases or illnesses I haven't heard of and side effects that sound worse than the illness.
If 80K is stocking stuffers something has gone off the rails. In real life I bought myself and my housemate matched remanufactured Chromebooks at under $100 for the pair. That's kinda more like real people do it.
