Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage

[MagicEyes]

There's a commercial for an overpriced soup delivery company with a dad who has just moved to a new house, and he forgets to feed his children until he gets a delivery of soup. 🙄 So hey, if you're a neglectful parent, you might get rescued by an unexpected soup delivery!

Between Lumi and all the laundry bottles that let smells last twelve weeks. We apparently never need to take a shower or wash our clothes.

We really need a "digust/gross"/puking reaction.

Going back to the Mara talk, or generally about the Progressiv characters; it's just crazy to me that Flo has been around so long, that she has her own cast of side characters! Really can't think of another similar situation off the top of my head. (I guess Geic o expanded from one caveman to several; but they all weren't recurring.)

Geez laweeze...just saw an ad for shaving pubic hair! It showed a woman shaving around the edges of her bikini underpants.

Edited to add: this was in the middle of Deadline:White House!

Hey, Laura Geller, you can stop yelling - the women you're aiming your product at already have the volume turned up loud enough for the next county over to hear.

I don't think I'm deaf or anything, but she doesn't seem like she's yelling to me.

No, that would've made sense since the song is related to animal rights.  It's Solsbury Hill, sung by Sia, not the original version, but still.

The diabetes commercial with the idiot who's only now starting to take care of her diabetes because it's effecting her eyesight. Well, no shit you idiot. If you had taken care of it this whole time it wouldn't be a problem. And there's no way she's not having other health issues for not taking care of her diabetes.

I hate the Capital One commercials with the Capital One guy, both the one where we find out he lives and sleeps in the bank and the one at the career fair where everyone is more interested in what the Capital One guy has to say than both Derek Jeter and the astronaut.

I was wondering who did that version of the song in that ad, thanks.

and here I always thought it was Salisbury Hill! Love that song. I got free tickets to see P. Gabriel in Central Park 'cause I was working at Korvettes back in 1980. Good times!

Korvette’s!  (Best buys yet!). There’s a name I haven’t heard in decades!

Me too.  I went so far as to google it because I was so sure it was Salisbury.  Yes I'm sad and old.

I didn't know this area existed here, is this a safe space to express my disgust for not just Lumi, but every other 'deodorant' ad that uses the phrase, 'pits, privates...' Just, NO. I don't need to hear that shit thankyouverymuch.

And to the makers of Jardiance, why on earth do you continue using actors who would be considered clinically overweight/obese in your ads? I mean, I get that they want people at risk or who have high A1C scores to identify with the people in the ads, but my first thought is, 'no lady, you're not eating well if you're still at best overweight. The whole campaign annoys me no end! All the focus is on overweight and obese people taking a pill. Why not include exercise, heart health diet, and people who've dropped weight and lowered their scores? Oh that's right, then they'll sell less pills. Grrrrrrr.

ETA: I say this as someone who is considered overweight myself, and trying hard to lose the extra pounds to be healthier and not need a pill like this.

what i find worse is the wegovy commercial with the gal whose comment is that she's keeping it off, which implies that she's hit her target weight and this drug is helping her maintain that. she is the most overweight person in the commercial!
