I've enjoyed the Progressive insurance ad ridiculing the awful Chevrolet commercial premise.

I heartily despise all those drat Grammarly ads that pop up every time I go to YouTube. Can't you show me some OTHER thing I'm never going to buy instead for the five seconds before I can skip? Hell, you'd think if we're being tracked online every second these days they could start figuring out which ads are constantly skipped by somebody and design a way to swap in other ads that might work better.

You can click the flag on Youtube and Twitter and say that ad isn't relevant to you although who knows what it shows instead is "better."

Maybe I'm just a jaded white guy in his 30s but this ad annoys me to no end every time I see it:

Pepsi even trying to prove their wokeness credentials after the Kylie Jenner fiasco by including a trans person doesn't help.

It was brought up in the peeves thread, but I definitely hate Nationwide's push to make Peyton Manning enjoyable. Both him and the musician have negative charisma

Peyton used to be ok but after the success of whatever ad 10 years ago where he talked about his "laser rocket arm," everyone in marketing/advertising must've thought he was so hilarious and now he won't go away.

In reality AWD doesn't empower the driver to ignore all common sense during hazardous driving conditions like some sort of blessed talisman of divine protection but it does empower the driver to be an rear end in a top hat.

Oh, but it does.

I mean, it's not a good commercial obviously but tbh I don't think it's necessarily bad like in a super-negligent or dangerous way? I had to watch it a couple times to make sure I hadn't missed something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have you seen American truck ads in like the last 20-30 years and all the bonkers manly stuff they and the owners who buy them can and presumably will totally do, like dropping concrete blocks into the bed, towing multiple Porta-Potties down a highway or a cruise ship into an active volcano?

If they'd actually shown her busting through the construction zone and going up the mountain like it was Pike's Peak thanks to the brilliance of Audi Quattro® then ok yeah that's dumb and maybe legally sketchy but her thinking about doing it and the construction worker seeming skeptical is kinda seemed kinda harmless imo.

I mean here's a recent ad for a loving Kia touting its awesome AWD capabilities that seems just as likely to be driven off-road as the Audi and although it's marketing BS for both Audi at least is kinda known for its well-regarded all-wheel drive since the 80s and rally racing.

Wasn’t there an ad where a truck was towing the space shuttle?

rookie mistake: giving your s/o a fitness-related anything unless they specifically ask for it.

source: me giving my wife a gym membership for her birthday one year

I gave mine a vacuum cleaner once per her request but got so much poo poo from everyone else about it, I just stick to perfume and gift cards now.

I've been having trouble deciding which ads I hate more - the Frank Thomas dick pills ones, or the DoorDash "SHISHITO BURRITO" ones. I've come to the decision that the latter has taken the lead. It is literally the most annoying thing I've ever heard in my life.

Every time the Big Hurt mentions the name of that product he’s shilling, which is frequently, I wonder if he’s aware of the connotation of something that sounds eerily similar to “eugenics.”
