Besides all the ones on antennae TV I don’t like the State Farm commercials with Jake and all those weird stalkers he deals with.

I don't like the pharmaceutical ones. Having health anxiety I don't need to hear about how every symptom I have is probably something that's going to kill me, UNLESS you take their newest drug.

In some countries they don't allow commercials for medications. I think that makes sense.

I dislike the pharmaceutical ones, progressive insurance with that irritating lady and the one with the ostrich. Usually when commercials come on I look at my iPad or a book then miss a bunch of the show I was watching.

LOL the emu! I cant stand that stupid emu either!!! They are ALL very unsettling ads - something always breaks or crashes and the guy is weird and ugly. Not that theres anything wrong with that! I guess hes supposed to look like an emu? IDK.

But i still like Liberty Biberty! The guy is Finn on Bold n Beautiful now!

I HATE commercials for abused animals, sick kids and the ones for holocaust survivors. I immediately mute the TV and do something else.

Nor me!
I said it in another thread but I really don’t like the Compare the Meerkat (Market) insurance adverts (UK). When they first started years ago, it was played off as a dumb mispronunciation, and it’s just snowballed from there. Alexander is pretty mean to Sergei (treats him like a servant, while he just loafs around in a velvet gown lol). They also have two child meerkat relatives who appear occasionally and they’re usually annoying rather than cute. They mostly screamed and broke stuff in the last ad they were in.

I don't watch TV that much. Just Wheel of Fortune & Jeopardy. I mute commercials, but even seeing them without hearing them annoys me. The commercial that annoys me the most (I think that they don't show it anymore-thank God!) is the AT&T one where the son is supposed to wish his mother a Happy Birthday online and it doesn't happen. So the mother just blows out the candle on the sliced cake, closes the laptop, and walks away. And then the husband goes for the cake (that's supposed to be funny, I guess).

I unmute the commercials at times only because, when the adds are on, I do something else and listen for the show to come back on.

Online casinos or other type of gambling. Why do they advertise those?

I never saw online gambling commercials before and lately it’s like epidemics of it. I don’t think advertising addictions is even appropriate. Sure everything could be an addiction but we need food so I understand advertising food even if it could be an addiction but alcohol? Gambling?tobacco? Please don’t advertise that!

I hate alcohol commercials. But my least favourite ad is the Dolly Parton 5-9 ad. I don't want to be told how wonderful it is to work, after the workday is over.

It’s not on anymore but there was this one commercial for this app or whatever where you can get money when you are low and it’s before payday. I think you borrow it maybe. I don’t know how it works but these people would be buying gas or other things and the person they were with would say “dude you don’t get paid until Friday! How can you afford gas?”

And when I saw the commercial I thought how is it any of their business how this guy is buying gas? Maybe his mom or someone else gave him the money, or he has other income besides that job the friend knows about. They are being so judgmental and nosy.

I honestly detest all commercials. I am maybe a bit cynical. Haha.

There’s another commercial, the I’ve fall’n and can’t get up. Oh that was so irritating.

I don't think they are allowed to advertise tobacco products in the US anymore. I have never seen a commercial for cigarettes.
