"They certainly do know the name, they burnt the factory down."

OK, what TV commercials really bug you? Make you want to scream at the TV every time you see them? Leaving aside the stupid dads and always white burglars, here's a couple that I see all the time lately...
"They certainly do know the name, they burnt the factory down."
You have to admit, "I got the meat sweats" is brilliant!
"Cycling is my passion!"
Now.., that Jaimie guy...
I don’t watch TeeVee. Instead, I have a DVD player to watch shows without commercials.
I don’t watch TV anymorre
Virtue signaling! It’s not just for liberals!

Thank You, Drew. With any luck we’ll soon hear how he never darkened the doors of FaceBook. Not once, never even close.
The latest esurance with the woman wailing hugging her damaged bumper is pretty good. Theme song for it is ‘Love Hurts”.
The Sonic gay guys
I don’t watch ads. The only thing I watch in real time is the local news, and I mute those commercials. Anything else is recorded and the commercials get skipped over.
For years, I have MUTED that Sit ‘n’ Sleep commercial. “Or your mattress is freeeeeee”. Because his voice is so offensive, I will never, as long as I draw breath purchase anything from that guy. Ever. I’ve said it to family + friends too. It won’t happen.
This doesn’t so much “irritate” me, but I found it quite inappropriate.
Watching “Last Man Standing” on CMT around 5:45, when they showed an ad for an OVER THE COUNTER “Plan B” pill. Glad my 10-year-old niece wasn’t watching. I wouldn’t want to have explain this one to her!
Of course, there’s always the Geico and Regressive Insurance ads to irritate me. And, while watching something on CBS, (still like Hawaii Five-O, Scorpion and Seal Team), they have to shill for that grinning fool, Stephen Colbert, at every ad break. Talk about “Barf City”!!!
AMC Channel means: “ALWAYS MORE COMMMERCIALS”.
I rarely watch live with commercials anymore. Don’t miss them at all.
Works on IE, too.
Actually over the last couple weeks it's reversed and there has been a flood of commercials with a White Father / Black Mom & Kids.
They all seem to come out at the same time, I can't believe it's a coincidence
“If an erection lasts for more than four hours then call a doctor.”
Heck, if it lasts more than four hours, I’m calling EVERYBODY!

Heck, I’d take that call out of sheer amusement.
He ticks me off because he thinks it was his place to file the claim? What if it was a very minor fender bender? Used up the so called accident forgiveness plus the deductible. It is my decision as the owner to file, not some kid.
The other one is of online courses at Arizona State University where they tell *graduate school* candidates who want more info on their program to "text the word offer to ##### -- that's O-F-F-E-R to #####." The other one substitutes the word "school -- that's S-C-H-O-O-L". Now come on, people, why on earth do you have to tell GRADUATE SCHOOL candidates how to spell the word OFFER? Or regular students, who by the time they're eligible to get into ASU, to spell the word SCHOOL??
Drives me completely crazy.
Bump for later.
What about the chick dufuses?
MyPillow is the absolute worst, due to its mind-numbing frequency.
Deal Dash — Where do they find these people?
And the smug retirees: “We no longer NEEDED the coverage.”
But I still like the National Car Rental guy in the leisure outfit:
“Control ... suits me.”
