Pandora consistently has the worst loving ads. A while ago there was one for some sort of ice cream or candy that ended with someone taking a big, wet chomping bite right in my loving headphones. Then there was a string of ads for deodorant with the most bizarre premises I've ever heard: "trying to study but those big sweat patches under your arms are distracting you? want to impress the boss in that big meeting today but you've literally disintegrated your shirt with the acid bile your body secretes? On the way to a date and want to make a good impression but you sweat so much that your car is filling up with water? sweaty sweat sweat sweat". Who the hell sweats that much? Who thinks about sweating that much? If you're sweating so much it is distracting you from studying then you should probably see a doctor. Problems of that magnitude cannot be solved with off-the-shelf products.

The most recent ad starts with the most caricature squeaky, high-pitched little-girl voice possible saying 'dear grandma' to which this insanely creaky, wavering old-lady voice replies 'dear Susie' at which point I rip my headphones out and hurl them across the room until the ad is finished so I don't even know what the ad is for.

At least those are things that a wide variety of people might concievably buy. Spotify ads are always for the kind of things that would work best as targeted ad campaigns, but they play them for everyone. So I keep getting ads for software development management software, or unlimited calling to landlines in the Dominican Republic, but only from New York. It's really weird.

At least there's no more Trojan ads with the fake sex noise. I couldn't use Spotify at work for months because of those things.

I honestly thought that commercial was about drugs the first time I saw it. Like, pro-drugs or something.

Same. Assumed it was some really bad anti-drug commercial that's accidentally making drugs look awesome. Like that up-tempo "meth, oh meth!" commercial where most people thought it was showing meth in a positive light.

I honestly believe it's the whole "it's wildly popular so it's bad" mentality. It blew up outta nowhere and now it's popular to be the contrarian that thinks it's not good.

If it's not your cup of tea, that's cool and I can understand that. Saying it's terrible is just outright hyperbole.

Compounding the pain from these is that Hulu sold an awful lot of ad spots to verizon so I get to see these commercials during every single ad break. I don't get Hulu, if you have to show ads, ok fine but could you please stop showing the same ones over and over again.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

It was probably this guy, judging by the first paragraph. It's also universally beloved by the political class even though, as this article says, absolutely none of them subscribe to Hamilton's economic doctrine.

(Plus, you can likely get the ASOTV anti-Hamilton product for $19.95, unlike a ticket for Hamilton which goes for $1,995.)

I just saw a 30-second version of this ad for Guinness Blonde American Lager. Don't a lot of people in Ireland view Irish-Americans as jackasses? Regardless, it's a pretty cynical way to market a beer that's trying to capitalize on the craft beer market.

Ricky Gervais is not entertaining and needs to go be unfunny somewhere else.

Also, gently caress that commercial series about the 4 guys who rob a bank and keep evading the police simply because they're in a Prius. Apparently roadblocks or spike strips don't exist in this universe? And then they poo poo their pants because THE POLICE HAVE PRIUSES TOO OMG!!!

Be glad you're not an MLB.TV subscriber (my apologies if you are.) They play the same loving commercial during every commercial break. I kid you not... I've seen that ad with all the Jason Stathams and the song going "Watch me now, watch me now, watch me now etc" at least 20 times over the course of one single game.

And with all the times I've seen it, I still can't tell you what it's for off the top of my head.

It's for the new LG phone and you know it's a quality commercial when they have to specify that the thing they're showing it doing isn't actually possible. They make it look like you can hot swap the battery but the disclaimer states that no, it has to be off.
