I don't watch much TV but do listen to the radio a lot. Can't stand the end of a commercial when they do the high speed lawyer disclaimer. I usually shut the radio right off. Had enough.
OP
I still cannot figure out the reason the man & woman are in bathtubs holding hands at the end of Cialis commercials.

The most annoying ones to me are that red lipped flo for the car insurance and the idiots pedaling liberty insurance. The two idiots in the Sonic commercials run a close second. The absolute worse ones are the ads for the lying, thieving, ambulance chasing attorneys…. Hang ‘em high!
The one that makes laugh is the Marie Osmond diet commercials when she says that her tummy is flatter now than in her 20s. If I remember correctly she was perpetually pregnant in her 20s with her [I think] 9 kids. The other one that makes me laugh is Cialis. Why do they need Cialis when they’re in separate bathtubs?

The ads in the US stink. Some of the foreign ads are really good. Here is one from my friend in Germany for the new VW with trailer backing assistance.

A couple of car buying commercials. The two broads in the green van with the satellite dish
and the doof in the kimono with his posse going spastic with joy because "That didn't Suck!!".

Oh, I don't know guys, I find a lot of the commercials more entertaining than most of the... STUFF... that passes for entertainment on TV these days.
Pretty much all TV ads, I don't recall ever buying or even wanting something I saw advertised on TV. I am very good at just totally tuning out commercials. The worst are the sales pitch ones, As seen on TV.
Years ago the beer commercials were good.

Just apply and let dry. It's like a handyman in a can!
The spray seal rubber idiot really bites. I really detest the one where he's in an airboat with a screen and sealer bottom. The very tiny disclaimer says multiple coats applied. Do not attempt.
I wonder if that stuff could seal the pitchmans cake hole shut?

I really hate the Heinekin light beer commercials with that little doogie houser character...don't recall his name. I can't understand why they would want that stupid dork as a spokesperson.
Yes, Niel Patrick Harris is not who I would choose to hawk my beer. The commercial with the guy grilling and the "So good it will let you handle another man's meat" line is a bit much. The beer may have taste that is good, however the commercial certainly is not in good taste.
I like the ED commercials..............
while I don't share their "problem"........ the
Guys haven't shaved in 4-5 days ; and not a word is said........
Wives/girlfriends are all at least 10-15 years younger than the guys.......and as fit as they were in their 20s...........
Not a kid in sight to interrupt your day's plans with a soccer or baseball game........
the women have nothing on their mind ....except that....... " when the moment turns romantic "........... they are headed for home hoping for the full 4 hours!!!!!!!
LOL how do I get transferred to that alternate universe.........

I will NEVER buy furniture or mattresses from a store which hires a fast talking screamer, like those monster truck event pitchmen, to voice their commercials. Who in their right mind drops everything they are doing to run out and buy furniture because some 1970's used care salesman throwback is yelling about 80 percent off for one day only.

Many years ago when the internet was new, netflix introduced the pop-up ad. Browsers countered with pop-up blockers and netflix figured out a way around them. Then the browsers would block that, then Netflix countered, and on and on it went. We had pop-up blocking turned on because we didn't want ads popping up! I will never use Netflix because of that.
I'm still trying to figure out the TV ads for the 'untucked' shirt company. It shows some guy walking in the city while the narrator tells how he invented a shirt that looks good untucked. The part I don't understand is that commercial was running at almost every break during prime-time news on Fox during the election. The ad campaign must have cost them millions....for a shirt....that you don't have to tuck in....

Visit the website of that shirt company and you'll be shocked at the prices. I think the cheapest shirt they sell is over $60.
Serious comment here: Those commercials are not only irritating, they are corrosive. They reinforce the notion among the privileged youth of today that nothing they do is wrong, that they are not responsible for their actions, that stupidity has no consequences.
Every time I see that girl whining about how she totaled "Brad", I find myself yelling at the television that if you are dumb enough to wrap your car around a tree, maybe your insurance rates OUGHT to go up!
Every time I hear "Jimmy da New Yahkah" do those annoying Zyppah commercials, I think my head will explode!
