I was willing to give him a pass for the Halloween version, because I could hold out hope that I'd never have to see it again after Halloween.
But then they just replaced it with an identical non-Halloween version that I've had to see a million times a day for the last 6 months, and that was just going too far

This. I had no problem when it was just a Halloween ad, but it been playing for about eight months now.

I'm watching BBC America, and an ad for a fad diet called "GoLo" showed up about an hour ago. Featuring "Dr." Keith Ablow, noted transphobic shitbird. I don't know if it's BBCA that runs these, or my satellite provider, but either way, it's pretty gross.

I see this commercial about fishing every now and then:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtIKyBkYTJQ

And every time I wonder who the hell is it actually for? Like I think it's supposed to appeal to young parents in urban and suburban areas looking for a nice, nonthreatening and physically demanding (But not too demanding) outdoors activity to get their 10-5 year old kids into, but I genuinely wonder who watches this commercial without making the :jerkbag: motion with their hands.

Near as I can tell it's meant to get kids interested in it. If you can believe it, these spots used to be far worse. They were narrated by some old man who sounded like he was begging his grandchildren to do something with him.

Somewhat hilariously related, that little public domain guitar ditty is also used by our local minor league team in their ads. Their nickname? The Walleye :sav:

Fad diet spots are pretty much always cheap toss-ins from the cable or satellite providers. I doubt BBC notices (or cares).

They make fishing look like fun. I remember my dad deciding he had to take me fishing when I was about 8. I hated it, and I'm pretty sure my dad hated it. I think the hate compounded because none of us caught a damned thing.

It's a double-whammy type of thing. You get to say that your product is used for good while showing pictures of cute animals, and also say that it's good enough to clean up an environmental disaster. It's not that confusing of an ad concept.
