Worst TV ads

[Iowashooter]

I watch free airwave TV and have no cable nor subscription services

The ads which really get under my skin include-

- “tax relief services” that help tax cheats and those who neglected to pay their taxes settle with the IRS. It’s our money they are giving away and those folks who didn’t pay should either serve time and or pay the full amount what they owe.

- bottom-feeding lawyers selling their services to mesothelioma victims, women who have used baby powder, past users of some prescription meds, users of roundup, etc etc. You can bet these legal vultures get rich while the sick only get a small portion of any proceeds.

- oak street health and a half a dozen aarp-affiliated insurances


What’s your ‘hard to watch’ commercials?


Thank goodness for the mute button

Thomas J. Henry.

If as stated at the end of his commercials it really was a name we know and a firm we trust. why would he need to advertise?

If my TV is on 90% of that is Pandora radio, then 7% is youtube with the remaining 3 being a movie. When a commercial comes on I'm just watch for the skip to come on.

Yes, I especially like the oak street health commercial where the black guy dances into the Dr. office for a check up and they hand him a cup of coffee.

Liberty and Progressive are at the top of my list. Their ads would prevent me ever checking their rates. Safelite ads also make the list. They're about 50% higher than other glass companies probably because of their advertising costs.

Ask your doctor if PureProfitum is right for you.

Do not take PureProfitum if you or anyone you know or have ever met is or has ever been pregnant.

Side effects of PureProfitum may include drowsiness, susceptibility to suggestion, dizziness, psychosis, violent outbursts, halitosis, Tourette's syndrome, bloating, projectile vomiting, uncontrollable sneezing, spontaneous combustion, invisibility, inability to pronounce the word "Worchestershire", psychic precognition, aversion to water, skin rash, hair loss, hair growth, flatulence, and Trump Derangement Syndrome. Some users of PureProfitum have reported out of body experiences and alien abduction.

Saying the word "PureProfitum" is considered a verbal contract and will require a $50 royalty per instance.

PureProfitum. Making your life better, by treating a condition we didn't even fucking mention in this commercial because it's unlikely to be anything you'll ever seek treatment for, but we still want you to doctor shop for it until someone is unscrupulous enough to prescribe it to you.

Geico commercials have been sucking lately

I watch very little over the air tv. Almost all commercials are annoying.

CINCINNATI—Drawing mixed reactions from viewers with its attempt to flesh out the backstory of the popular cleaning products mascot, a new ad released by Procter & Gamble this week generated controversy with its revelation that Mr. Clean only dates Black women.
At press time, Procter & Gamble representatives teased a new upcoming advertisement that confirms Mr. Clean’s single-hoop earring is a reflection of his bisexuality.

I have no idea what this describes. And I can't tell you how happy that fact makes me.

See c-19 vax for pure profit...if allowing this brew into your body, try not to die or be riddled with clots of varying sizes.

I miss those great old Super Bowl ads from 20 or so years ago. Especially the Nissan ads. G.I. Joe was great. Also the attack pigeons. The cat drive was pretty good. I even liked the frogs.

Ah, you're a communist... Paying taxes is un-American!

Don't worry, though. I'm pretty sure those “tax relief services” and just about everything else you see in TV ads are scams.

I get a lot of use out of the cat herding ad. Seems most people have forgotten about it...but the internet remembers.

I’ve been married for almost 40 years and have learned WAY more about cringy female products and all body deodorants being applied everywhere by extra large models. Those keep me awake at night!
