Any medicines that say if you are allergic to this med, do not take. How do you know you are allergic to it unless you have taken it before? And if that's the case why would you take it again if you had a bad reaction??
So, what is yours? And if you want you can include your favorite. I do like the home insurance commercial where they have a counselor telling a group that it's like being like their parents. I forget the name of the company, which says alot about the ad department.

(82,849 posts)I know some advertising nitwit somewhere said, "Hey if you take the first two letters of Liberty and Mutual, you get 'Limu' which we could rhyme with emu!" I want that guy hurt and hurt badly. And the guy that green lighted the idea hurt even worse.

(11,796 posts)Duluth Trading Co commercials, and maybe a few others. It is easier to list what doesn't piss me off.
All the rest SUCK and get on my nerves. If it weren't annoying enough that they interrupt, most are so damn STUPID. It's depressing to realize that the public is so dense that that kind of advertising works.
The worst thing is the streaming services that don't allow fast-forward or skipping. Yet they keep playing the same handful of stupid ads over and over and over.

(11,796 posts)I thought was so funny that on all the news channels they would be "serious", then go to a Duluth commercial with a burly hairy man skipping around in tighty-whitey underpants, then back to "serious".

I saw it exactly 1 time
since it never played again, I thought I must have hallucinated it. 😵💫

(11,796 posts)While it's too NSFW to post here, since there are the "easily offended" and "looking to be offended" types, but look up an appearance on the Bob & Tom Radio show by comedienne Renee Hicks where she gives her opinion of douche/feminine hygiene commercials.
Apparently, no matter what Massengil wants us to think, women do not go to the beach to talk about douche.

There's another one with most of the same women that runs around election and ends with the Asian lady, sitting on the crapper, saying "I'm a pooping woman and I approve this message." I really did nearly fall over laughing the first time I saw that one on TV

(22,520 posts)I subject myself to at all (and I mute those) except for broadcast radio. We recently moved to a very small town and the local radio station has ads that are READ (yes, read) by the dj. He reads the obituaries, the for-sale and wanted ads, the jobs ads, local events ads, etc. It is actually a pleasure to listen to!
No tv (so no ads there).

Gawd, I cant tell you how laid back it is. And the weather! And the outdoors! Miles and miles of trails. And Amtrak. Oh
and the deer hang out in your backyard. Like frequently.
The city trash service is dumpsters every so often down the block
because bears.
People invite you over to pick free apples, grapes, peaches, etc.
No Amazon 2-day tho. And if a business says they open at 9
maybe wait till 10 before you go.
We havent been happier about a life-choice in a long time.
On edit: and the city put in a EV charging station at the Amtrak depot.

(29,933 posts)Or, we don't get those channels. I would definitely remember a woman pooping.
I certainly hate the little sing-songey, "If it hurts when you try to poo." WTF?
I hate any Liberty or Medicare Advantage ad. And the newest assault--the lawyers targeting Camp Lejeune victims. It plays at every commercial break on nightly MSNBC.
The only ones I like now are the Suburu dog commercials, and the Robitussin one where the bear asks if he can root through the coughing woman's trash.

Or half a dozen other organizations I can't think of off the top of my head at the moment.
It's not that the organizations aren't good ones or that they don't do good things, it's the agency handling their donations that I don't trust!
Just how much of that "Just $19 a month" does the A.S.P.C.A. actually get?

* Lume. Nuff said.
* Zoc Doc. Creates an earworm that makes you want to puncture your eardrums.
* Kohls. Its use of Earth, Wind, and Fires September to shill Christmas is unforgiveable and a true abomination.
* Any prescription drug ad. They should be illegal for many reasons.
Dishonorable mentions: Flo (and by extension Jon Hamm, who must be hard up for work) of Progressive, LIMU and the Emu, and Jimmie Walker and his MONEEEEE.
I can go on, but Ill spare you.
