There's this one ad about some guy at like a pasta-making seminar trying to sell Cricket wireless and not owas nly is it insufferable on its own, but after seeing it for what feels like hundreds of times it's just maddening to see it. My wife was watching a show on Hulu yesterday and every commercial break had the same exact 4 commercials in the same order every single time.

I saw the same Dasani flavor drops ad on SouthParkStudios.com 4 times in a row in the same break and frequently on future breaks. Can't get a whole lot worse than that. I don't feel like complaining about your average not terrible commercial being obnoxious because you see it every break is really in the spirit of the thread though. There is something weird that happens when you see the same ad a million times though. If you're like me you start to fixate on little details that you didn't necessarily notice at first that really get under your skin.

Speaking of seeing commercials over and over again, that McDonald's commercial with the guy in a studio getting distracted by people eating breakfast nearby. This one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYcTY7WUiLg . But the version I've seen (which I can't find online) is trimmed down for maximum irritation to just this exchange: "What about love, bacon all and leave me muffin--" "Austin, you just said bacon and muffin." "I can biscuit! I mean fix it!" [V/O: Get a Sausage McMuffin value meal! Etc. etc.] "Ba da ba ba ba~" Austin Mahone must be some hip new pop star they're trying to promote, but if that's the case I don't know if it's working because literally the only place I've ever ever seen or heard his name is in this commercial. It used to play twice in a row (or with one other ad in between, separating the repeats), but that hasn't happened in a while-- so that's nice, I guess. Now it's just down to once every other break. Still, even on regular TV I think this one's been playing all the drat time for what feels like a year. Why this commercial? Is this Austin person actually really popular? I don't understand!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtFbs31XBLk I just saw this and almost shat myself. "ITS Omega-3s naturally occur in PHOSPHOLIPID form  ." As a scientist, there's no surer way to offend me with a commercial than to pile on as many meaningless, scientific-sounding words as possible to mesmerize stupid people.

At some point, I think I had wanted to see The Counselor but Hulu has inundated me with so many ads that I've gotten sick of it. "The slaughter to come will probably be beyond our imagining."

Even worse is when a website detects that you have an ad blocker and fucks you over by making you wait twice as long as an actual commercial break with a static message trying to guilt-trip you into whitelisting them. If a person is tech-savvy enough to use an ad blocker they're savvy enough to  your show, the last thing you want to do is make watching your show legitimately more difficult.

The worst part of that is when they lie to you about what happens if you disable the adblocker. There was one website where they said I would just have to sit through a short ad but when I turned off adblock they started doing crap like pop ups on the video.

I did that once because I figured I might as well because gently caress waiting a minute for my video to start. And after one of those "hilarious" Home Depot commercials with the Meme cat or whatever their attempt at being hip with the kids was, my video started and less than a minute in a Walmart ad comes in and obscures the bottom of the screen. The adblocker went right up again afterwards and its never gone down since, the little message even went away too.

More than that awful song at the end, I'm annoyed that all those commercials start with some dipshit saying "HONESTLY?!?!?!" Why the gently caress are you saying that, it doesn't make any sense unless it's in response to something somebody else said.

Besides, they're the only major chain not injecting yoga mat chemicals into their buns, which pretty much makes them the healthy option by default.

At one point ESPN walking cliche Chris Berman was advertising for both NutriSystem and Applebee's. It was really great to see both ads in one block, especially since the Applebee's spot was featuring meatballs stuffed with provolone cheese.
