TV car insurance commercials...

I don't pay them any attention,but the one that i can't get to my remote fast enough is the one about the pets that are being abused-the one that starts out with the humming or instrumental.This one shows up at nightfall because it costs less then.I have a pet that runs the household.Lose this commercial!!!!I have never watched this one.

I can't stand it either. They do that crap on purpose; you know, just to make you run to the pound and adopt. One of the things I miss the worst in my divorce is the fact that I had to leave my Shih Tzu and Yorkie with her. I know they will get lots of love from her and her granddaughter, but I really miss 'em.
 
I am so utterly sick of that Progressive gal that I may hurl. Don't care for the lizard, or any of them, for that matter.
 
50% of air time is commercials these days and most of us are paying for cable to get it. I believe that talk radio is even worse. We're being sold-to by cartoon characters and bimbos. H.L.Mencken said around 80 years ago: "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public", and I guess that he was right.

I'm finding that I'm spending more time at the keyboard and away from TV, but commercials are starting to creep onto that screen as well. Somebody needs to invent a cyber-zapper. Oh course then it would probably get advertised on TV by a cartoon-bimbo as well. -S2
 
The Progressive commercials are using the most wimpy men and made them to look like mamas boys
 
why single out car insurance ads……they are ALL as truthful as a used car salesman (or the government)
 
I'm trying to figure out at what point do I start making money off car insurance. If I switch from company A to compay B and save $500.00, then switch from company B to company C and save another $500.00, at what point do I get my insurance for free, and actually start making money off the deal? :confused:
 
cell phone ad

The one that really gets my goat is the cell phone company commercial with the two gay twins. "Smiling Bob" can take a leap too.:mad:

Aren't you glad ? As taxpayers we will be funding cell phones for those who can't afford them. This is the same service provided by verizon wireless. Angry yet?

Sure, why not? We're already supporting the worthless cretins with our taxes, so just a little bit more of our money given to them won't hurt us, since we have so much.:rolleyes:
 
Actually I kind of like Flo. I’ll like her even more next year when the Political ads start again. Stay tuned, it can get worse.
 
And while we're talking about ads that get under my skin....

How about the know-it-all smart mouth little kids telling ME what I ought to do or think about the EARTH or ENERGY or TAXES or HEALTHCARE.

Shut up KID and "Eat your peas"!!!! :rolleyes:

Yeah...its the dumbing down of the "Dad" character in some commercials. The traditional strong willed male head of the household is now a wimpy, clueless twit whose kids have all the answers and can run their own lives while he eats their dust. The wife rolls her eyes and shakes her head as the five year old explains to Daddy how the latest electronic gadget works, how best to diversify his financial assets, or what he needs to do differently to help save the planet. :rolleyes:
 
I called the "other auto insurance" company 3 years ago. Why would I leave State Farm, a trusted agent with an excellent office staff, and pay the other company $23 more each 6 months. In 35 years I've had 5 (me 2, daughter 1, wives 2) fender bender accidents. Each accident was handled with 1 telephone call to the office -- end of the story. When I got married the last time, the new wife had to sign two forms at the office, 30 seconds of forms and 10 minutes of friendly conversation.

I ain't switching because you will not save me a dime!!
 
Although the Viagra and Levitra ads annoy me somewhat. I think I would rather watch them then the woman telling me how much more she enjoys pooping now that she doesen't have to strain. (thanks to the OTC wonder med. that "just makes it easier to go")

Laxative commercials in general are the most disgusting at dinner time.

Also of course it seems that TP that leaves little pieces of paper on your butt is a national problem, even for bears.

But, no matter how much you dislike George Soros. Be careful what you say about Flo. "Yer a talkin' 'bout the woman I love.....Pilgram.
 
Well, this posting was originally put up in January 2010.

Those ad's are still running!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't bother watching TV any more. I'm betting 25 minutes of fast paced ad's during any 60 minute show. I timed the "break" about a month ago: FIVE full minutes that must have contained 20 different products!!!

I'm guessing the FTC is on the payroll of the sponsors!;)

My wife, Bless her, blows her stack every time she sees one of the "stupid dad' type commercials. The "I got a falcon" commercial really had her going when it first aired. She knows if I saved $500 on my car insurance I'd buy a S&W!!

We have a lawyer in the Pittsburgh market that runs 1950'-60's crash test stock footage as he hawks his "Have you been injured" drivel. I want to poke him in his beady little eyes!
