There is one commercial lately that is pushing on my last nerve -- the one for Neuriva with Mayim Bialik. I can't stand her in the first place but then CNN plays this exact same commercial over and over and over and over and over and over and OVER! ugh. "I don't just play someone brainy on TV, I'm an actual neuroscientist."  Great, if you're an actual neuroscientist why aren't you working somewhere in a lab trying to find a cure for alzheimer's or parkinson's or something? Instead of making stupid commercials for questionable supplements.  Every time this commercial comes on I'm in a race to grab the remote and push mute before she can finish that first sentence.  Do you have any commercials that make you crazy? |

Leslie Mann and her completely cringe Jergen's commercials. Ewwwww. "Old Man Elbows"? "No Tan Lines"? Could we be more superficial?

The one with JJ Walker for the supplemental Medicaid insurance. Oh yeah, I forgot about those commercials! Those also go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and ON again! And then they sometimes start all over! Yeah, those quickly go on mute also. |

I am tired of hearing my favorite songs remade into commercials. The Beatles, Janis Joplin, etc. We all know Janis didn't smell like D'ior perfume. She probably smelled like cigarettes and patchouli. It feels really exploitive.

ANY of CNNs commercials. Do they only have three to play over and over again for the entire week?
“I require seasoned adventurers” or “we work on an alternative revenue stream”. That voice drives me batty!

Last month, my husband and I watched two older seasons of Top Chef on Hulu. We’re too cheap to pay for the commercial free version. Every single episode we had to watch the “I’m a woman and I’m pooping on national tv commercial.” I’m still not sure what product these ladies who were sitting on the toilet were promoting and why they seemed to think that they were promoting gender equality by sitting on a toilet with their pants wrapped around their ankles on national tv.

Yes! I watch cnn a lot for updates on Ukraine and they have been playing the Infinity commercial with the middle school band playing horribly. It drives me crazy! There is another one as well but I can’t think of it right now.
ETA: the car shield commercials with Vivica Fox (I think that is who that is) are the ones I was thinking of.

All of them. Especially the ones w/quick image flashes and bright light flashes. And the ones where people act like morons.
Apparently, I'm supposed to want the product/service that morons use.
When I watch commercial tv (which is rarely), I switch to PBS during the commercials - just not to have to see/hear the inanity and the dirty guitars/pounding beats that are supposed to get my attention/make me interested in the product/service.

There are soooo many commercials I hate. Enjoy the go comes to mind.
But my most hated ones right now are those for bladder control merchandise. Why oh why are only women featured in these commercials?? The one where they say "she has poise under pressure and poise in her pants" and everything is yellow makes me want to scream. NOw there is one with a gal jumping on a trampoline, and at the end she says, "At least I'm not peeing myself!" UGH Men have bladder control issues, too, and these commercials just rub me the wrong way.

We cut the cord and don’t have live tv anymore so a lot of the commercials we see are repeated over and over repeatedly on the CBS News app. Usually there will be ONE commercial and they just keep playing the same one every time there’s a commercial break. Lately it’s been one for this meat place. DH looked the place up online and four steaks was something like $175. 😳 Yeah, I don’t think we’ll be buying those anytime soon.

The dumb young actor flubbing his lines or worse--The Limu Emu...and Doug where most annoying part is right at the start so it's already too late to mute the part I hate most. No commercial in particular, but we've been inundated with sports gambling commercials here in NY ever since it was legalized. Just. So. Many. |

The bent carrot one. And the one with the guy in the red shirt where people give him things.
What happened the being your parent ones? Those were funny.
And how long until someone comes in and asks in utter disbelief how anyone can be so plebeian as to be still seeing commercials? I mean honestly ladies, what is the matter with us? In this day and age!

There is one person who shows up every time someone mentions a commercial who is incredulous that someone actually sees commercials and has to question it. Every. Single. Time. |

It doesn’t bother me but my 10yo dd gets irrationally angry at the Capital One commercials when they say “What’s in your wallet?” She always gets mad and says don’t worry about what is in my wallet or mind your own business Capital One. I have no clue why their commercials trigger her so much.

And how long until someone comes in and asks in utter disbelief how anyone can be so plebeian as to be still seeing commercials? I mean honestly ladies, what is the matter with us? In this day and age! Hahaha. I was going to respond to another post that a lot of times I actually enjoy commercials, whether it is picking them apart or actually like watching them. There are some that play too much. JG Wentworth and the Medicaid one are two that come to mind. If it is the PETA ones or particularly sad ones I may check out other stations for a minute or two. I guess I am a target audience. 🤷♀️😄 ETA - And I got rid of Sirius in my car because I actually enjoy listening to FM radio. I learn a lot about local artist, what events are going on, concerts and festivals in the area, interviews with performers playing in our area, and chances to win tickets. I’ll admit to being kind of old school - but I do have Apple Music. 😄 |

Any Charming commercial. I refuse to purchase that brand anymore because those bears annoy the heck out of me. There are a lot of pooping commercials recently it seems. There’s one with a song that’s both catchy and irritating. “ #2 should be easy to do”

I'm old enough to remember when there were no commercials that had anything to do with personal hygiene or sexual function issues. I miss those days, and it makes me wonder how many parents of small children have been forced by them to answer questions way before they intended to have those discussions.

I am tired of hearing my favorite songs remade into commercials. The Beatles, Janis Joplin, etc. We all know Janis didn't smell like D'ior perfume. She probably smelled like cigarettes and patchouli. It feels really exploitive. Actually she didn’t smell like cigarettes and patchouli! I met her once when I got to go backstage when I was fifteen. It was more like greasy unwashed hair, really bad body odor, vomit and beer spilled all over her clothes. She was unable to stand up and was trying to hang onto everyone by hugging them. Worst broken hero bubble ever. She died of an overdose not too many years later. Onstage that night she could barely get through songs. I cannot even imagine how Dior thinks she was classy enough to use her songs… |

Great, if you're an actual neuroscientist why aren't you working somewhere in a lab trying to find a cure for alzheimer's or parkinson's or something? Instead of making stupid commercials for questionable supplements.
