There's some insipid song being sung about being a "native born Californian." There's nothing inherently wrong with the ad, other than being rather pointless, but I see/hear it at least 5 times in a half hour.

It is supposedly set in California with a snow machine blanketing a family's house and yard. It plays endlessly in my location. Here too. A fellow hater of this spot says it reminds her of Seinfeld and the song Miss Rhode Island sang off-key in the beauty pageant at Kramer's instruction, because George and Jerry accidentally killed her trained doves. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/599/#findComment-7180769

Bastet December 17, 2021 Share December 17, 2021 I like Regina King, but this commercial makes me stabby. She is taking that untrained dog with her everywhere she goes, inflicting his damage hither and yon, and then just shrugging it off because she can afford to buy everyone "sorry" gifts and rack up her cash back rewards. That's not cute! 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/599/#findComment-7181824

I mean, I don't have kids (small or otherwise) and I hate Disney, but I know about Olaf even though I wish I didn't. I have grandchildren and have no idea who Olaf is. A commercial that enrages? Merci chocolates. Could they at least make an attempt at an authentic pronunciation? "Murr see" isn't even close. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/599/#findComment-7183611

sempervivum December 19, 2021 Share December 19, 2021 (Knix) Thumping drum machine and sepulchral voice mumbles 'blood sweat 'n' pee...we leakproof we leakproof'. I don't care how useful these are (reviews are mixed), I don't want to hear the gory details. This also applies to the Lysol laundry sanitizer ad using the phrase 'snot covered fabric'. Brands that call up icky descriptions like this are not making themselves more appealing (not to me, at least). 14 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/599/#findComment-7184458

Preach! Can Capital One please STOP with the "it's the easiest decision' ad featuring the little girl getting a pony at her birthday party? I'm surprised animal activists haven't been all over this for gift wrapping a live animal (can't tell if it's CGI-looks pretty real to me).
