First, the one where the woman says she stinks everywhere.
Then the one for a dating site all about finding the one that gets you while showing a huge zit on this guys back and the utter delight of his girlfriend popping it.
Hey I dont judge, to each his own, whatever floats your boat, etc. but I dont want to look at a huge zit while Im eating dinner.

(10,938 posts)Why do we need pharma adverts at all? Those should be banned. Our drug prices keep going up to pay for these ads.

(11,470 posts)I'm no longer buying commercials, I cut the cord this week. Besides, I need the $1200.00 a year savings for my Colorado property taxes that just went up.

(32,130 posts)Cable rates were going up with every bill. Ridiculous.
And our Ohio property taxes went up, too, not as much as yours, but a considerable amount nonetheless.

More irritating than disgusting: the damned Jacuzzi bathroom remodel ad that plays day in and day out (maybe regional) with Christina (the blonde from HGTV remodel show fame, a dozen or so husbands, and whose Valley Girl "up talk"-- leaving every phrase and sentence as a question-- makes me want to take a rocket launcher to the tv.
There are many others. Any of you listening to Tunein radio on the "free" plan can likely commiserate because they do not change commercials more than about once/year. Uggh.

Those damn blue bears raving about their clean bottoms and the voiceover exhorting listeners to "...enjoy the go."
Dog food ads raving about the dogs "normal number 2s."
Any and all ads dealing with menstrual or bladder products, especially those depicting the amount of liquid absorbed.
Constipation and diarrhea products.

Diamond_Dog
(32,130 posts)Snotty kid! I agree. Can you see if you or I talked to our parents like that?
Ive never seen the bandaid one but it sounds just as bad.

(28,863 posts)Before we left there was a Chevy (?) truck commercial where they took a Group to places like an exit ramp to discuss the truck.
So stupid.
Also, here, shows like Lottery dream home dont have regular commercials. So the actual show is 12-15 minutes long.

(28,863 posts)Very few houses anywhere need a six burner stove with a hood vent designed for a kitchen in a Hilton Hotel.
Mr Lake was a chef at a couple fine dining restaurants. He never had a six burner stove. I suppose now the fancier the kitchen the better the food tastes?🤷🏼?♀️?
marble falls
(57,405 posts)... home kitchens. Kept our heating bills down. Never paid more than a $1000 for one. Why didn't they just spring for a good rebuilt commercial stove? The last one I bought when we were living in Austin, I think I paid around $650 to $700 for.

Thing is ... These ads work on Americans, especially infantalized Americans and tRump's beloved poorly educated.

(4,614 posts)So far I've managed to miss the zit commercial and I hope I continue to miss it. Cable these days is absolutely saturated with non-stop Pharmaceutical ads and they compete for having stupid, Madison Avenue faux medical made-up names. I'm waiting for one named Slingshitzee.
