I'm convinced that TV and radio commercials are a BIG part of why everyone in this country is so stupid.

Being bombarded with stupidity day and night, day in, day out can't be helping.

Or perhaps it's the other way around. The commercials are so stupid because people in this country are.

Remember what George Carlin said? Think about how stupid the average person is. Then think about the fact that half of the people are more stupid than him.

This one's the absolute dumbest I've ever seen:

It's to compete with the Buck Naked and Stay Put Underwear commercial from Duluth Trading.

It boggles the mind what they are teaching kids in marketing schools these days.

Why would you drive black folks, mixed race couples, gay couples, muslims (still refuse to capitalize it), etc..., into your desired market of lily white, conservative, straight, Christians which is where I happen to live?

It makes no sense, but yet it continues.

And don't get me started on Mike Lindell. He's about the only person on the planet that I really want to punch in the puss. Don't we all just really enjoy his two minute long infomercials every five minutes on FNC, Newsmax, OAN,...you can't get away from him!

And then it's the Balance of Nature assholes! IT NEVER STOPS!!!!!!

How any of these companies make any money with what they spend on advertising is a mystery.

The Oscar mayer weenie choir

I still think Subaru makes the worst commercials ever. They never talk about the car, it's always about love, getting along and being woke. The worst of them was the one where they were driving grandma up into the mountains so she could hug a tree one last time before she croaks.

Good grief.

And if you should think about buying a insurance policy of any kind from them,TV adds are expensive and someone has to pay for them. Guess who?

After someone said how successful the Liberty Mutual commercials have been, I've wondered about that, just who has it been successful in attracting as a customer? What type of driver? I'd assume if you run idiotic commercials, you attract a lot of idiot customers. You'd think an insurance company would want responsible customers, not boobs who like silly commercials. I think to myself, if this company has idiots as customers, they must be paying out often and that can't be good for me as a client.

The Pharmaceutical commercials on FOX News,NBC/CBS/ABC nightly news.

I'm at the point where if there is an ad for something on tv, there is a high probability that I won't buy it just on principle

Ask your doctor if dimilozefabamolamide is right for you ...

Have you not yet "pinched off a porcupine??

If a commercial comes on it's because I"m reading a SF thread and forgot to fast forward.

Everything I want to watch gets DVR, live games, tv shows, movies, everything, dvr and watch the next day.....

God gift was the DVR, so get one, program it for everything and quit watching live TV...

I've only seen one all black happy family commercial lately.

Scoop, There It Is.

I'm willing to bet because of cultural appropriation and all that to keep the whiteness out of it.

What is wrong with showing a functional like-race family? Oh yeah, gotta keep the family unit broken and reliant on the government god.
