I’m sure we all have commercials and narrators we are tired of seeing and hearing. Nothing quite like explaining a pharmaceutical advert to a kid For me, I’ve had enough of the Progessive adverts and Denis Leary voiceovers for the F-150.

How bout you?

"I love you Dad."

"What?"

"$3000...$5000...Whatever they can get!"

Thomas the Verizon commercial dude


I was shocked to learn this guy has a career in acting outside of the Verizon commercial...

That reminds me....it looks like he dies in that recent Keanu Reeves movie about cloning....might be a reason to watch it.

I am a happy Verizon customer. He makes me want to switch

Adult diapers and male enhancement commercials.
Our local radio talk station plays male enhancement commercials constantly. You would think with the problems males had in the area the birth rate would be zero.

Every fucking cash-for-your-crash lawyer on the planet.

I'd call them 'leeches' but leeches might be offended being grouped in with those blood suckers.

I wish all commercials would go away.

I'm with you here. Ambulance chasing POS.

I am very tired of listening to the Aussie/Brit accents in so many commercials. Aren't there any announcers that speak 'Murican English?

Yeah, that one, and all drug and catheter commercials.

William Devane, please retire, I'm not interested in buying Gold or Silver.

Flo.

The so called pitch man on every Chevy commercial. Just his plugging of the product alone would keep me from ever purchasing another Chevy.

Every Progressive, Geico, and Liberty insurance commercial.

Wife's BFF, Connie, is the head of the Tallahassee panel that approves/disapproves lawyer ads in Florida. She says the ads that are turned down are really, really offensive.

Not sure if it's done in other places, but in the Cincy radio market, they have commercials with local D.J.s just "talking" about a product. The one that I hear the most is for Arby's, and the announcer describes the sandwich and how good it is. For some reason I find them very condescending.

Those two idiots in the Sonic commercials need to be thrown in a wood chipper.

morning drive talk radio host does that here,

not sandwiches, but services from lenders, realtors, etc,

surely he got a cut or kickback on some work, as partial payment,

Definitely FLO, I can't hit the mute button or last channel button fast enough when she comes on!

I need to find a device that automatically mutes my TV during commercials. I'd sell it for enough to build the entire wall.

Yep. Every one EXCEPT the camel in the hump day commercial. They've started re-airing that one around here & I crack up every time I see it, because our grand daughter was about four years old when that one came out. She memorized the entire thing & would go strutting around saying, "MikeMikeMikeMikeMike Mike. What day is it?" & "Hump daaaay!"
