Commercials that turn you off from buying what they're selling

[bgrafsr]

Have another one or two:
Hunter Ellis, the "ex Navy pilot" hawking those ridiculous products that aren't worth squat, or the tough guy, is it Tanto?, who hawks the unbelievable glasses that show everything in crystal clear clarity.

 

[bgrafsr]

Okay, now I'm on a roll.
How about "My Pillow"? The products may be good (don't know as I don't own any of them), but the owner/inventor is irritating as heck and I mute the TV when he comes on.

Basically ALL of them. I particularly detest TV commercials from ambulance chasing lawyers and sleazy politicians.

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.

And every weekend is "OUR BIGGEST SALE EVER!!"
One ripoff furniture company here has been saying that for 30+ years. By now they should be paying me to go there.

....The ad campaign must have cost them millions....for a shirt....that you don't have to tuck in.... [/QUOTE

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.

I can only hope they are very high quality fabric. I'd buy a cheap shirt for $15-$25 and cut the tails shorter. Big deal.

Commercials that I don't like? All of them!

Have a blessed day,

I really hate the drug commercials, Hi I’m Phil Phillip and I had a heart attack or Hi I’m Joe Gizmo and I was diagnosed with Stage 2a flaming mentalities but thanks to the new drug Flemboyo,,,,then the lame music and the wonderful pictures of family picnics and pool side chats with some lame o music is playing!
I really could care less what these people were diagnosed with! I don’t need to know and I could care less,,,I have my own problems and I’m not running to my doctor to get these new wonder if they’re gonna work for me drugs!
That one guy with diabetes? they got dancing through the office to some lame music I’d like to clip with a baseball bat to the knees! Give him some real pain!
These commercials really irk me.....
Remember Big Pharma don’t make cures,,,They’re making customers....

Okay rant off and back to your regular schedule with Rolaids.....

What really tick's me off about these is that those highly produced ads are very expensive, and have to raise the price of the drug to the end users, us. They invade our space, annoy us with all the bullroar about side effects, yet none of us can actually buy the product without a doctor's prescription. They may as well be running ads for the Hope diamond.

How about "I got my title back at Title Max"?

Cheap production values, annoying voice, and fer crying out loud, the title was yours to start with until you made it collateral for a loan at an outrageous interest rate.
In my book, Title Max and their ilk are right up there with the payday loan thieves who prey on the down-on-their-luck and not-too-smart people.

Y'all have named almost 95% of the ones I hate, the other 5% I really hate.

 

[mooosie]

I like Mayhem , not the insurance just the guy. Other than that we record everything and fast forward through the commercials

 

[delcrossv]

Back in the UK they largely stamped out that nonsense with the "Plain English Campaign". I suspect most US attorneys would have a fit of the vapors if presented with a UK document that was short, clear, and left NO room for argument.

Where's the fun in THAT?!?

Every time I see those commercials it makes me wonder what emu tastes like.

Actually it tastes pretty good. One time I went to the Franklin County Fair outside Chambersburg, PA and there was a booth for an emu farm selling ground emu meat.

I just saw one I havent seen in months, the Red Baron pizza commercial, that never made a sense to me.[emoji46]

The pillow man and his long and irritating commercials.

 

[johngalt]

All those commercials pushing insurance scams, primarily trying to swindle the elderly.

 

[Fishslayer]

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!

It kind of amuses me that major sponsors of AM talk radio... you know... the guys who rail on about accountability and personal responsibility... are companies that promise to get you out of paying your taxes or credit card debt!
