NinjaPenguins February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 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. 9 Link to comment

"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. 5 Link to comment

Kemper February 20, 2018 Share February 20, 2018 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. 8 Link to comment

Like the kid who constantly licks her lips in the Liberty Mutual commercial who says "Ba-la". GRRRRRR 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. 3 Link to comment
David Zak February 22, 2018 Share February 22, 2018 I hate the Peloton ads. The sweating models pumping away on their stationaries while the house and kids need attention. 13 Link to comment
