Worst Commercials You’ve Ever Seen

[QueenCobra]

This won't stop playing on my TV. Local commercials are whole different
beast.

These, and the local car dealership ones where the owner and their families are eating pancakes around the table or something and all of a sudden they have to brag about the deals you can get on their cars. (Could be very specific to my area, but oh well.)

Also:
Ads about medicines that claim to be “the answer to all of your problems.” They just talk at you for an eternity about how supposedly “great” these meds are. But at the end, they list everything that’s wrong with them. That’d definitely turn people off. Like, if they see the ad, they might go, “Oh! Maybe I DO need this!” But then they hear all of the problems the meds could cause. Then they’d say, “Chance of death or stroke? No way am I buying that!”

Tbf, literally all medications have side effects. I’m sure they’re legally required to list them in ads, and the odds of you dying or something similarly bad happening to you because you took it are most likely not high enough to warrant not taking the medicine if you genuinely need it. And even if it is, your doctor will most likely just prescribe you something else.

Sorry to bring this up but I just have to vent about this lol there’s this ad running for some sort of anti-worm dog medicine and

Spoiler: SUPER GROSS

there’s a dog running through an agility course, but HE RUNS THROUGH A GIANT DISGUSTING CGI WORM LIKE A TUNNEL. WHYYYY.

And then the owner just kisses them on the head after they went through that things mouth and-yea no thanks.

Ofc you want to know about the side effects! Don't want to go in not knowing.

Any commercials with TikTok clips. Saw one from HomeGoods where it showed TikToks of people shopping and sitting slack-jawed in a chair…like they’d never sat in one before.

Idk. Maybe I’m getting old, but I like to keep my TV and social media separate. Plus I’m not a fan of TikTok.

Agreed, I hate TikTok. It's corrupting people's brains. I've never used the site, and I don't have the app. TikTok is stupid.

Welp. Yet another awful “whole-body deodorant” is taking over the TV…this time with a song in the tune of “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes”, except this one is “Breasts, Underarms, and Butt.” Like…I get it’s set in a locker room, but do I really need to see a guy spray this stuff into his buttcrack?! At that point, just take a shower!

At this point, I just see this fad as a dumb gimmick to get people to buy overpriced deodorant. Granted, I do have a travel-sized stick of it in my room that my mom bought because it was in the clearance isle, but I haven't used it. I'll just stick with good showers and regular deodorant use, thank you.

I despise any ad that comments on or cracks jokes about inflation. Even worse is if they use it as a scare tactic to get people to use their product. Yes, the economy blows. I don't need to be reminded of it in my day-to-day life.

I’m really beginning to dislike Old Spice because of the ads they keep making now.

I still don’t even understand what that thing is. Never used and never will as YouTube is just good enough for me.

So, So sick of those commercials that looks like TikTok videos or whatever. Please get your face out of my space and no, I don't care for some product that was probably tested on animals.

Seriously, who are these even for..
