I HATE that Haribo candies thing where the adults are sitting around at a business meeting table.... talking in baby voices. GACK

I hate ANY ad that features adults speaking like babies!

Checking in here for the first time in quite a while, so forgive if I repeat an already-discussed ad, but does anyone think that the wheel of fortune-style KFC Colonel selector is driving business in the door?  I'm so totally annoyed by that whole campaign that I have vowed to never utter their name let alone patronize that grease laden place.

p.s.:  Didn't think they could scrape the barrel lower than the Norm MacDonald iteration, but yeah, Reba tops ...er bottoms it.

I disagree. I went to try the newest version of sauced chicken. It wasn't as good as the Geogia Gold, though.

"Because I can". What does any of this have to do with the product?!?

Coke is running a series of these commercials to tell people that it's ok to drink a soda if you want.

The Smokey Mountain BBQ is the only one I like, but a lot depends on how it's prepped.  The first time I tried it,  I ate at KFC, and it was delish.  The 2nd time,  I took it home, and there was SO MUCH sauce laying in the bottom of the container that I had to toss my corn muffin as it was completely saturated and dripping.  Blech.

[NinjaPenguins]

I would like to see commercials deep six these things that I find personally annoying:

• As someone mentioned above, extreme close-ups of people eating. I could do without the extreme facial close-ups in general. I don't care if you're showing me someone flossing, swishing, chewing, mugging for the camera, singing, or whatever. Back it up. 
• Mugging for the camera. Especially idiots who hold up the product being advertised, point at it, kiss it, dance with it and make weird, exaggerated faces at it.
• This must be a commercial trope, but I hate the cutesy self-conscious little laugh so many people do in commercials. Please stop. Not charming, not relatable. Rarely makes sense in the context of the commercial.
• Alarms, especially the piercing morning wake-up alarm. It's such an annoying sound and not conducive to winning my business.

I liked the Smokey Mountain BBQ sauce but mine tasted gritty, like it was made from a powder mix and hadn't completely dissolved in the water.

It is slightly gritty.  I think it may be that they add sugar to it, and don't wait for it to dissolve.

I HATE those new Progressive commercials that ignore Jamie. As much as I didn't like him as a character, this is even worse than him talking... they're just being complete jerks to him. -_-

They could be treating him better, but I can see where they're coming from. Since Jamie's claim to fame is a lame ad slogan, he's apparently a marketing guy nobody doing "real work" respects because they see him as dead weight.

I have a high tolerance for commercials, but this "Inspired Closets" commercial makes me want to smack the smug look of this woman's face. "Ms. Hiring Manager" my ass.

https://www.ispot.tv/ad/w_B4/inspired-closets-ms-hiring-manager

OK, first off, "Hiring Manager" isn't a title indicating that they manage hiring. It's referring to the fact that this manager is considering hiring you for their team, you twit. Of course in an ad that wouldn't come across if you used their name like a person who'd done the bare minimum of learning about the potential job, but how about "Ms Potential Boss"? 

Second, the whole smug "I'm rich, I have kids, and I expect to just walk into this job despite having done nothing but raise them for 10 years"? Totally not dissing raising kids, but it's not job-relevant outside of a limited context, and I don't think Mrs More Decorative Than Useful is putting on that jewelry to impress a school principal.

A coda to your first bullet: Sound effects of people eating as well. Get your crunching, gobbling, slurping, chewing, swallowing maws out of my ears. And that goes double for anyone in a commercial who talks with their mouth full (yes, Beneful dog, I'm looking at you and you better not get anywhere within earshot or it's a trip to the pound for you).

I’m going to hop on board the “no showing eating or enhancing the sound of eating” train.  Seeing people’s teeth creeps me out.

Also, and this is most likely my own personal weirdness, but I hate seeing closeups of people’s hands. I have no idea why, but I don’t like it.  Sorry Madge.

Inappropriate laughter would be bursting into laughter at an inappropriate time, such as a solemn moment at a funeral. There are people who have brain damage that this happens to. They can also cry when they should be laughing. I have an acquaintance who had a stroke and has this. She skipped a funeral for fear she would bust out laughing.

Wow...that's probably in most cases, not appropriate and I feel sad for your friend. However, I just dont get why funerals need to be an hour plus of mourning. Please laugh, relive happy memories...celebrate one's life. This is NOT the end.

But uncontrolled laughter can get one in serious trouble....like a traffic stop!

Another example for you, inappropriate laughter or crying, the other symptom usually mentioned, during a business meeting.  There is a neurological disorder called Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) that causes uncontrollable crying and/or laughing that happens suddenly and frequently.  There were ads for this, I do not know if it is still aired.

Sorry to hear about your acquaintance, chenoa333.

United, I don't care how glamorous you try to make your organization look. US domestic air travel is a lot closer to being a circle of hell than what you show in that ad.

I'm going to defend James Patterson. Not because I like his books. (Haven't read any of them.) But because he brought cookies when he dropped in, unannounced, to promote his latest work at a bookstore I was a manager at.

My current dive-for-the-remote commercials are the Xfinity spots featuring American Olympians.  Who convinced these athletes that appearing in commercials and acting (being?) stupid, rude, and vain is a good thing for their reputations?!  There's speedskater Joey Mantia, who "has three speeds: fast, faster, and fasterest" and who snots at the voiceover guy when he interrupts the athlete's watching a streaming program.  There's snowboarder Jamie Anderson, who bakes while wearing her parka and goggles, and breaks eggs by holding them two feet above the bowl.  And my least favorite, bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor, who goes from room to room in her house watching herself on a tablet ~ not to analyze or critique her performance, but so she can make eyes at herself and say, "Lookin' good, Elana!"  I'd be mortified if this is how I were being introduced to the Olympics-watching audience!

I'm sorry about your friend, I don't think laughing at a funeral is always inappropriate, as Chenoa333 says, celebrate their life. At my mother's funeral, I sat between her older brother and her sister, we held hands, and during one of the songs, we laughed, because we pictured my parents together again and dancing together again, we were smiling and laughing at the memory. The song was 'Til I Waltz Again With You by Teresa Brewer. My great-nephew, who was 9 at the time had picked the music, I was so proud of his choices, they were all songs his Grandmother loved, they were very close. He also picked I Walk The Line by Johnny Cash  and Amazing Grace by Elvis, all perfect for my Mother.

Eh, if these athletes can get an endorsement to help defray the cost of going to the Olympics, more power to 'em.  (Of course I think it's the kiss o' death to promote these athletes.  Build them up then watch them fail.  (Looking at you, Lindsay Vonn, Nathan Chen.))

[Kemper]

Add me to the hate of the Huge Closet Lady.  Who did the ad company think they were appealing to?  Not many of us have a closet that could double as a rec room.  Not a ton of us have a huge jewelry stash (and it looked like The Good Stuff) that we pick from when we go to a job interview, an actual job, carpool, grocery store, etc.  How are "regular women" supposed to relate to a princess living in her castle with perfect-looking kids?  The lovely woman in the ad actually looked like royalty.  All she  needed was a tiara.

I wish they could have shown a more realistic portrayal of people and their closets..sort of a before and after.  Although, judging from all the House Hunters I watch on HGTV, most people/couples under 45 seem to be looking houses with huge walk-in closets.  "For Her" ... "He" is usually relegated to a closet in the spare bedroom.  In the castle.

I haven't seen the commercial with laughter as a side effect ,but I worked with someone who had PBA and recall the commercials for that.  He didn't cry, but did laugh at the worst possible times and couldn't control it (he had a stroke when he was younger).  He would sometimes also just randomly break in to using foreign accents, and then have no recollection of it.  We had to talk on the phone at that job, and people would complain about him.  Management was very nice about it an didn't hold it against him, but he eventually left.  Not sure where he went.

That's her.  She's been around since the late 80's or early 90's, that I can recall.  When I was in high school, she'd do an infomercial for an electric sandwich pocket maker.  She would rave on and on about this dieter's delight pocket - NO BREAD!!!  She'd go on and on about this having no bread, then she'd tell you to make it by mixing tuna and mashed potatoes.  SEE????  NO BREAD!!!!  My mom would go full-on rage and yell at the TV: "POTATOES ARE BREAD, YOU MORON!!!!!".

A couple of years ago, retired NBA player Shaquille O'Neal did an ad for a Buick sedan. O'Neal is a mountain of a man, 7 foot plus, 300 pounds plus. In the ad, he walks up to the car, opens the door and then there is a cut to him seated in the car. You never see him actually get into it.

He was doing a pre-game/halftime show at the time the commercial debuted, and the other former NBA players on the show (Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith) spent an entire evening giving him crap and proclaiming that there was no way he could have gotten in that car.

Not really a commercial, but more a promo that has been on my last nerve is one that FXX shows for The Peanuts Movie.  My husband turns that on when there's nothing else he wants to watch, and watches old episodes of The Simpsons.  They air a promo for their airing of The Peanuts Movie (I've never seen it - I liked the Peanuts strips, but never cared for the animated stuff) that has rap-style scratching playing while Charlie Brown repeatedly zips and unzips his coat.  Sometimes it zips up, and other times the zipper separates.  I usually yell "If you got it zipped right, then why do you keep unzipping it?????".  Yes, I know Charlie Brown is doomed to a life of frustration, but I think even he would know that if his jacket zipped up correctly, he'd just leave it alone.  To me, just a stupid promo.
