Least Favorite National TV Ads

[Walkoff Balk]

Celebs like Aubrey Plaza and Emma Roberts are getting slammed for Big Milk ad campaigns: 'I thought we left the cow milk propaganda in the 90s' (yahoo.com)

The milk mustache ad is gross.

There's a product called Cocoran. on a movie channel on Roku. That commercial blasts its volume so loud that I would mute when a commercial break is coming. Is it fair for the other commercials that follow when that commercial annoy viewers.

The commercial with NBA players Chris Paul and James Harden where a NBA mascot shoots an automatic t-shirt gun.

Can two NBA stars be in a commercial without driving each other crazy. That's not an outline of Harden's burnt profile on the wall. That's spaghetti. Ha,ha, no that's linguine. (Throws the spaghetti at the wall) Now, it's garbage. The Odd Couple.

The Liberty Mutual Insurance series of ads that features the pair of an emu (wearing their company's shirt) and Doug.

The commercial with NBA players Chris Paul and James Harden where a NBA mascot shoots an automatic t-shirt gun. It's too eerie that can remind of the Vegas sniper massacre tragedy.

Re: Least Favorite National TV Ads

Almost all car ads set bad examples. Speeding, drifting etc.
The ad I hate most is the one where the guy brings home the wrong steaks. His girls and wife stand there sneering at him. What disrespect! If it was me I would them Those steaks are fine, if you don’t like them go to the store yourself. In fact, the two girls would probably be put on permanently on food shopping duty.

The over exuberant man yelling "LIBRARY BREAK", then the stereotyped (hair in bun, glasses) librarian having a Kit Kat bar shoved up to her face.

Re: Least Favorite National TV Ads

Because of the bad example it sets in terms of safety, a least favorite national ad now being shown is one for Nissan. The ad shows a child on a big-wheel-type of tricycle that is peddling madly down the sidewalk, racing the (probably) Mom's car that is driving fast beside them on the road.

What is so dangerous is that the child blasts down the sidewalk, assumingly crossing over the entrances to neighbors' driveways. Great message for the kiddies ..... race around on your tricycle and just hope that nobody is backing out of their driveway at the same time. Children don't understand the difference between an ad and real behavior. And it is equally irksome that they are presenting an adult driver that is an idiot.

Shame on Nissan.

The Jack in the Box Crave ads. Noticed two different ones so far but the part that irks me is the woman who yells we have a craving, or something to that effect.

There is a current TV ad for toilet tissue that uses bear cartoon characters. The latest ad is that the toilet paper is so efficient that you .... get ready for a cringe..... that you could wear your underwear for a second day.

That ad is just so wrong on many levels ...

Re: Least Favorite National TV Ads

The promo commercial for the tv series Superstore where a character licks ice cream from the floor after a kid has eaten it. They showed a vomit joke when some viewers might be eating.

Re: Least Favorite National TV Ads

There is an ad running lately, I think it is for a hair regrowth pill, that puts the rush on with something along the line of:
"If your last name is between A-N, call now. If it is between O-Z, you may call after 9am tomorrow".
I envision:
Me: Hello....Ahhhhh gee, I want to really really order your product right now but my last name is "Zoomerboomer".
Customer Service: Sorry, you will need to wait until tomorrow morning to call us. We are not able to take money from Z people right now.

I know many companies think of customers as fools, but do they have to remind it of their low opinion of the public so blatantly?

I probably said it before, but I forget:

It's those huge hamsters rocking and bopping and driving KIAs.

Wish those ads were K.I.A.
