Mommieoftwo66711 July 29, 2018 Share July 29, 2018 I CANNOT stand any Little Caesars commercials! They are so offensive and otherwise just stupid. The one where the guy forgot his wallet and is just shaking the kid by his feet for the money and the cashier just stands there smiling like an idiot...that's child abuse! And then how they are always shocked beyond belief that it's only $5 when everyone in the free world knows they're only five dollars now! Another irritating string of commercials is the good to go insurance. The one with the guy who can't afford a haircut after paying for insurance so he's shaving his head with a lady Bic? Come on now! Either let it grow until you can afford a haircut or cut it yourself...don't have to shave it shiny bald dude! And everyone in the world has a friend or family member who either knows how to cut hair or is learning to. And I loathe the Liberty Mutual insurance commercials. I have to mute it any time I catch it cuz I'm so sick and tired of having liberty liberty liberty... liberty! Stuck in my head! On a side note I have been looking for a place like this to vent about these commercials so I'm so glad I found you guys! ? 17 Link to comment

Apparently is like payday advance but for businesses. It's stage like a scene from an Off (Off-Off-Off) Broadway musical (we're talking Lucy Ricardo's Tuesday Afternoon Fine Arts League-level Off Broadway here). Which isn't as bad as it sounds. It's almost so good it's bad in a cheesetastic way. What get me is that the business owners are stylists, bar owners, etc. You know, professions that it's conceivable could have a rocky start up or hit a rough patch that could jeopardize a small business. Then a woman in a lab coat is up. She's a "doctor in private practice". Um, if you're a doctor in this country and can't get an SBA or legitimate bank loan and have to use the business equivalent of the Kwiky Kash that sits between the Kwiky Mart and Kwiky Liquors...what's up with that? That ad is annoying, but not only b/c it looks off-off-off Broadway. I noticed they sing that one of the qualifications is to have been open for at least a year; isn't that too late for a failing startup business, or at least the time they no longer should need a loan?

After her voice over warning at the end, I noticed that it's sponsored by some kind of taxi driver association, meaning this is likely to be an attempt to sabotage their competition, which irks me.
