The Annoying TV Adds Rant

on Saturday, April, 23, 2011 7:36 PM
We've all felt it at one time or another - the feeling of wanting to throw a disk at the TV because the commercial interrupts our favorite show. Or because the commercial is for something that makes you angry. So, here is a place you can list the adds that infuriate you.

The adds I hate most are the ones for the psychiatric meds. Abilify, Cymbalta, Serequel, etc. As someone who is bipolar, and who has been on all three of those, I think that they should leave the psychiatric meds to the psychiatrists. "Ask your doctor about 'X'!" *shakes head*

So, what about you? What adds make you twitch?

Ones about dangerous medication. Five seconds about how it can cure and twenty seconds of how it can kill you. And also adds that repeat them selves.

The ones that seem to imply men are physically unable to clean. I don't have a TV myself, so I'm usually spared, but last night we were at my partner's parents' house, and there was an ad for some vacuum cleaner or mop or something, with Dad and the kids making a mess, and then sitting around having fun while Mom cleaned it up. *headdesk* (Worst ever was the one where the woman was saying her vacuum was so quiet, she could vacuum around her sleeping husband who was sacked out in a chair in the living room.

I'll be honest.. most TV shows..
commericals make me angry....
I HATE TV... or at least those reality TV
and mainstream TV shows..

As for commercials.... Yeah the med commercials make me angry...

I hate commercials for fast food that sucks..
i mean.. I love In N OUt Burger.. Five Guys Burgers etc..
but I have never seen a commercial for them.
But I see Jack in the Box and Mickey D's commercals often..
but Jack in the Box commercials are cool.. just don;t love the food..

so yeah hate fast food commercials cause most of the food sucks compared
to what I can get at better burger joints..
or I can cook at home...

But I love any thing TROn commercials! of course!

I used to love commercials.. here is one I like..

Generally-speaking though, I hate commercials, period. Because I know that people spend 100x more on advertising than they do on developing their product.

That whole 'spray painting a dog turd gold and then selling them for $1000 each' thing.

Modern business etiquette is a frickin joke. Business used to be "you get something you need and I get something I need" and now its, "I make you think you need something you don't need and make you think it's worth 50x more than it cost me to make it.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

Oh yeah...and the ones where you can barely tell what they're selling. It's like they hope you'll say, "cool ad! I'll buy the product." Um, no. The point of your ad is to convince me WHY I should buy your product...that is, why it's good. Not to see how many flashing lights and/or half-dressed women and/or weird confusing themes you can fit into one commercial.

What do you want? I'm busy.

I can solve this problem in 3 EASY payments of $19.99. Call in the next 10 minutes, and I'll not double, not triple, not quadruple, but quintuple your offer!!

I do a lot of cleaning at my house, and my mother and sister are generally the ones making a mess.

I don't want it unless your commercial is confusing and has punk music.

Precisely. Not true to real life. I'm insanely messy (though so is my partner, but he does complain about messiness more). Well, probably still largely true to real life--especially since the stupid commercials keep perpetuating the idea--but yeah. not nearly as indicative of the population as you would think from watching.
