Subdeacon Joe Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 All of the insurance company commercials are just plain stupid. I can't figure out the new Taco Bell commercials. Pavlovian response? Witching hour? I think this is my favorite commercial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 The drug commercials. A sixty second commercial with the first 20 seconds extorting the (supposed) benefits of the drug and the next 40 seconds warning about taking the drug due to the fact that...you might FN die due to all of the side effects. Second worst is ANY political commercial...they're coming up folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I’ll never be a Coors fan, but this still gets my vote for the best commercial ever: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DDxCQ7oJJZ8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I find watching the commercials with the sound on mute, to be very informative. This lets you read the body language easier. To reference Zork... the audience must have the collective intelligence of an unripe grapefruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Not annoying, just humorous. There is some winery, don't recall the name, that advertises the chardonnay as "liquid gold.". Every time I hear that jingle I hear the old Liquid Gold furniture polish commercial with the snooty dowager saying in her snooty voice, "I only use Liquid Gold polish."

McCandless Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I record the shows I want to watch. Then at a time that's convenient to me, I watch them... fast forwarding through all the commercials. I haven't watched a commercial in ages. There's also not a heckova lot I bother to record anymore. Very few shows "do it" for me anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 The "Sonic" ads with the moron in the passenger seat of the car etc. If the ad is stupid, the product likely is as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Sadly, every horrible annoying ad that you all mentioned by the product name has worked. You remember the product. Commercials are not supposed to be entertaining, they only have to get you to remember the product and “annoying” is one of the best ways to do that.

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 The one with SNL’s Kate McKinnon for Verizon has gotten really annoying. Kinda cute/quirky the first couple of times. But since it seems to play at virtually every commercial break, you’ll see it dozens of times over the course of something like a football game.

I don’t remember the product at least half the time because I either mute or switch channels even it’s if only a couple minutes! I’d rather watch two minutes of anything besides a commercial. Unfortunately they seem to all time their commercial breaks together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remembering the product does not necessarily induce purchasing. I know Bud and like some of their commercials. I Never buy it. Same with Liberty insurance and dozens of others.

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Used to be that the average sitcom was about 23 minutes long and the first of two commercial breaks came at the 15 minute mark. Now the shows are 15 minutes long and the breaks are every 6 minutes, and 6 minutes in length. We’ve gotten to the point where the programming is just filler between commercials.
