worst commercials on television

Those are horrible, but the Chevy focus-group campaign is worse. Almost revived this thread to gripe about those.

ILX posts that haunt you.

yeah definitely. wish I could explain why they piss me off so much, guess it's just the toxic smugness of bearded guy + the incredible stupidity of the totally-not-fake focus group..."IS THIS A LEXUS!? DOES IT COST FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!??"

"...and I want you to reply IN EMOTICONS!!!"

"If I throw eggs at you, will you be more likely or less likely to buy a Chevy?"

"How many fingers would you be willing to chop off to drive this pickup?" *places meat cleaver on butcher block*

The apple ad with this shite, maudlin British hip-hop track about a guy who, sigh, just wishes he had a little sister

I just found out the bearded actor in the Chevy ads is named Potsch Boyd. And now I'm ready for the earth to die in nuclear fire.

So the endless gospel sample in the Chromebook ads says "First you got a light bull due/Then you got a gas bill too" and I at least know that. But I kind of never want to hear that remix ever again ever.

dilly dilly

where did that shit come from, that's not even real, you'd be kicked out of the ren faire for that shit

tbf i'd probably think it was really funny if i were 8yo

war criminal slidin into home

nobody's said it for many years now but fuck Wolfmother for that shit-ass T. Rex song about livin' free that's in a commercial every ten seconds.

fake T. Rex song obv

i fuckin hate potsch boyd

That smarmy bearded TD Ameritrade financial advisor who sits back, legs crossed (always in a dark green room) and wheedles his newly affluent marks. Sit up straight, dork! And wear a tie.

any commercial that uses a version of "go your own way"

there are THREE right now. one drug ad, one for a kids movie, one for a pickup truck.

also hard agree on the Ameritrade guy

yes FUCK THIS GUY

that Peloton ad is causing a hell of a shitstorm online

I don't really buy the idea that it's necessarily sexist or problematic but it is deeply weird, it kinda reminds me of the commercials I grew up with in the 90s that had bad actors and told bizarre stories that clearly weren't focus grouped at all

what's up with the walmart ready player one thing?

i think i figured out the theme: they all have some sort of sci-fi ship. they are trying to make the fact that you have to drive to a walmart cool, when their competitors will just mail the stuff to your door.

h8 this guy

the allstate moon commercial is close to ruining "crusin" forever for me

The Jill Scott Nationwide commercial is literally satan

i wonder if state farm has to pay like double the going rate to get athletes for its painfully dorky ads

I don't think so.

man i hope jill got paid

My gf is rewatching Fringe on IMDB's streaming thing and they play that Nationwide ad during literally every single commercial break. I never thought I'd have occasion to implore Jill Scott to shut the everloving fuck up for the love of christ but, well, here we are.

It's like if the HR manager at your shitty corporate job Tiktok-ed a musical paean to corporate synergy and it went viral.

Liberty Mutual was bad enough when it was just Liberty Liberty Liberty Liiiiberty etc
the limu emu shit though is a plague

all the AT&T commercials with Lily make me want to die

I feel like the intolerability quotient of advertising would drop by like 90% if it was illegal for insurance companies to make commercials.

the Dean Winters commercials as "Mayhem" are pretty good. or maybe I just think they're good because they actually have something to do with insurance? like every other company is just doing "you can save a lot on insurance!" and "oh my god, I can't shut the fuck up about insurance!"

i think commercials in general are getting more annoying and desperate for attention. maybe they have to now that they're competing with "switching to a different tab" and "looking at phone"

WHY are these BIRDS so ANGRY???

also wanna mention the USAA ad where Gronk is trying and failing to buy insurance?? one because he fucking sucks as an actor (surprising!!), two because why are we supposed to believe superstar athletes give a fuck about their home and auto insurance? what is this contrived Trix and the rabbit situation

What... what year did you just post this from?
