TV commercials that make you want to puke
- Thread starter litenlarry

I have mention commercials before but it's still a hot topic with me,
As another said having you not cute child trying to sell your product boils down to a little kid making a bit of noise about something he/she does not have a clue about.
In my area we have this one oafish car hustler that owns over 20 dealerships monopolizing best bet close to 50% of all commercial prime time. Among other transgressions he took a common word and made it into a form of hearing torture.
The worst though are those public service stop smoking commercial mostly shown on news shows during the traditional lunch /dinner hour. (12-1PM and 6-7 PM ) They tend to show smoking victims having hard time breathing and gasping the whole time the spot is running, or the hot one now is show people cut open and what the disease looks like. You really need stuff like this on when you're having dinner.
Since the kids left the house decades ago we watch the news and have dinner together. I'm about to stop watching the news as complaining about it does absolutely nothing as this is some sort of government sponsored BS commercials. All the channels do it so just find a different news channel does not help out!
Many people write op-eds about this in the papers but its obvious that does not help either! It's all for the public good don't you known!

I hate most commercials and most ads!.. especially the ones that appear (and block) directly over my sign in area at the top of this forum. I have to find a way to creatively sign back in and then change my colors back to what I prefer after doing so. In defense of our IT guys, I feel quite sure it is the fault of my older-than-dirt operating system and my 2nd grade knowledge of how to clear cookies etc.
Having said all of that, I love this place more than you know.

I do a good job of ignoring commercials, but when one of those comes on, I rush to the remote control to change the channel.
On the positive side, I couldn't resist those Subaru commercials where they had dogs driving their cars.

The only ones I cant stand--are the Fiat commercial--hate the chosen noise they call--music--as well as Flos latest commercial which looks like a talk show?? Dunno--I watche a full eight seconds or less and had to switch.
All with Peyton Manning.

Do you mean the one where the car is shown in US towns with Italian names? That noise drives me nuts. I instantly switch to another station until the Fiat commercial is over. No way in hades will I buy a Fiat if that commercial is their best enticement.

What is manly about watching a bunch of men run around playing some kind of game. I also wonder about the camermen that film the men running around when there are good looking women cheerleaders. At least the "Housewives of Orange County" are women.

If you have to ask ? Check your testosterone level's...IT"S A MAN thing..The chess channel is on cable...
You're a bit out of touch in more ways than one Roger.
Any 2nd grader could clear those cookies for you, and suggest a better OS
I really, really, dislike the commercials for the Humane Society - But I get it....
Flo - Yuck.
Mo Money -- Although that may be local to the Memphis area?
None of 'em bug me all that much. They're just commercials. They don't last all that long, so I pretty much ignore them. Either that or my wife and I just make fun of them.
After all. They pay for the show I'm watching.
BUT WAIT!! There's More!!!

I guess I'm a pretty tolerant person, in that many of the commercials named don't terribly bother me. I hate the repetitive ones, that show five or six times during a one hour show. For what its worth, I like Marie Osmond but her diet ads are annoying, and I think many of the Progressive ads with Flo are funny. Maybe I just watch too much television.
