I find Kasie totally annoying. It's not that I don't think there could ever be a replacement for the Abby character, it's that Kasie is hyper and doesn't seem to care why the rest of the team is subdued.

Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage
HipOldBat replied to Maverick's topic in Commercials
This ad is weird and annoying, and I almost feel embarrassed for "Jamie" crying at the end - if I didn't want so badly to yell at him to cut it out. -
I love the song in the Transitions ad, so much so that I looked up the original song/video (The Sun, Parov Stelar feat. Graham Candy): Graham Candy is the singer - he's a 27 yr old singer/dancer/songwriter from New Zealand. I would love to have this song for my ringtone, but I can't find it on Zedge or other ringtone sites. Very happy and uplifting.

Besides the obvious problem with the term "crippled", they help kids with a variety of problems. My niece had to have heart surgery as a small child and they performed that on her, for free. -

Kudos to the actors in this ad, as they are super-annoying. Especially the white-haired man who passive-aggressively asks, "Are we trying to air condition the entire neighborhood?" I want to punch him. Then there's this one: It creeps me out, right down to the matching sweaters. -

I'm ashamed to admit that, had this been a thing when I was a child, I would have loved it! I was a weird kid. -

I'm just glad that Shriner's dropped the "for crippled children" in their hospital's name. I thought that was disgusting. -
I really hate that commercial. It hits me as a "aww, banks are really the good guys out to help you" manipulation that is kind of the antithesis of what I recall Donovan stood for. But, I'm an old bat like that heh.

I guess it really depends on the person, then. I have had chicken pox 4 times - once as a child, and once after each of my 3 kids had it. So, for me, an additional vaccine is probably a good idea.

My pharmacist is having me come back in 6 weeks for a second vaccine against shingles. He says it's "recommended" because so many people still got shingles with only the one vaccine.

YES. I really hate this ad. SHUT.UP.ALREADY! And they ruin a perfectly good song, too. The other ad that bugs me is the Linzess ad, because it should say "children YOUNGER THAN", not "LESS THAN". I am one of those weirdos who hates the "10 items or less" signs at the supermarket, too. -

I will watch anything, and I do mean anything, that Johnny Depp is in. Hubba hubba! -
You wrote a question about something I didn't even mention. You know, I left last time because people take this all so seriously, as if debating the finer points of philosophy, and honestly I find it annoying. You were picking a fight, and I don't appreciate it.

I really would like to see Brad and Lucas come back. Probably not going to happen, though. Re: the ER...yeah, you never see anyone in there like a kid with a broken arm or mundane stuff like that. Just for background. No one ever has to wait to be seen, it seems. I didn't say she made up for that. I just expressed MY OPINION that redeemed characters are more interesting to me.

I like Obrecht because, in general, I like soap characters who get redeemed. Not "sorta redeemed" like Sonny and StJason, who never feel sorry for anything they do, no matter how heinous. I think the bad characters who get redemption are more interesting than they were when they were villains.
