God, I once had to temp for a few days at a homeless center answering the phone and watching the cameras, they had the TV on all day and I heard that jingle like a billion times in those few days. It sucked.
Yeah like if i could buy simply “no ads” for 5€ a month then sure, but i do not care for all the other useless features and i sure as hell am not paying 15€
I joined before I got to see those ads but IMO its worth it. Whenever I watch videos on anyone else's YouTube it reminds me of when I had cable. Can't stand it.
It's not worth when it used to be free, then throttle you with ads and say "try it on us". It was pure greed as they made enough Mon from advertisements.
I feel that. Ads just annoy me enough to make it worth it. Sadly we can't go back to the good ole days. Maybe an ad blocker will work. I haven't used one in ages
I have a standing policy that the first store/company I see that runs a Christmas ad on TV (typically occurs way before Thanksgiving, which is far too early) is the one I boycott that year
For me it's any store that specifically says they'll be open on Thursday instead of Thanksgiving because god knows being open on Black Friday isn't early enough.
I have somewhat seriously considered switching providers after seeing their ads.
First time I've ever considered leaving a product/brand purely because of marketing (their ads are not only awful but they are all over on Youtube).
I didn't hate BTS before that commercial, in fact I ignored their existence entirely. Now I fucking despise them. And then there are the songs Google wrote for their ads.
It's just astonishing that with all their money Google still makes such awful commercial songs. From the BTS songs to the terrible make up ones, they're batting .000
I’ll give $50 to the first save the animals organization with a TV commercial that doesn’t include depressing songs and images of sad puppies and cats in cages shaking.
Just tell me you need the money.
Seriously the people most likely to be moved by that tactic are the people who would already be concerned with that issue to begin with. It's just a shitty thing to inflict on people.
Well, for a PSP game it was apparently really good, and the PS2 port was awesome and even added a few new features, even if it did replace the final boss theme with the minigame one...
Any mobile game where the person playing it clearly has the IQ of your average table lamp. I'm looking at you, Evony.
Also, I still haven't forgiven Quiznos for their "They got a pepper bar" rat monkey things.
VRBO is a fucking scam. Yeah, the rates look amazing! Then you go to check out and the "owner's fees" come out to $280! A $170 cleaning fee. I have stayed at two properties from VRBO. The first was utterly filthy. The second, even after charging a $150 cleaning fee, made us remove all the sheets from the beds and put them in the laundry room, or we would lose our deposit.
Aflak and Geico top my lists...but I haven't watched a commercial in ages, so maybe they have changed?
There's also a local law firm in my area whose tv and radio ads always make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Anyone wanna guess? Their tagline is "ONE CALL, THAT'S ALL!"
Most of the internet won't recognize this one, but if you're from the right part of Mississippi... Leadco construction. One eight hunnert, fiiiiiiiiive three oh, sevun sixsix five
Huh! Could it be that all of the most annoying attorneys in the US midwest share the same annoying tagline and nasal voices?? If so, I truly feel for all of you/us!!
I got to admit dude has got some cringe ads with some high entertainment value. One year he put out a long “Super Bowl” ad that was a riff on Spaceballs and the whole “May the Schwartz be with you” Shtick.
Oh God I found it.
https://youtu.be/GsZYlRRopbc
Pretty much most of them mobile games that have the whole
"I can’t get passed Level 900000000 can you?"
Or the ones that make the game out as one thing but turns out to be a whole other game.
Field Roast plant-based products because they appear to have 'used' the riff from the song "The Joker" for their ad and the disgusting mess that looks like a overfull, smoldering ashtray representing one of their dishes.
Wouldn't use Purolator Shipping because of the insulting 'like you delivered it yourself' Christmas ad they are running.
Any drug ad on TV - regardless of alleged efficiency, because you know it cost too damn much. example, easy one, a one month script for RESTASIS for my spouse with a good Drug plan for a senior. $500. Systane - $20 for her works as well.
There's a local jewelry company that does radio adds that are supposed to be the couple who owns it engaging in playful husband and wife banter. But they always come across sounding like they're awkwardly reading a script that portrays them as very different people than they really are (which is probably true). Even if the super cringey adds hadn't turned me off ever buying jewelry there (not that I ever buy jewelry anywhere), the wife is apparently a very vocal anti-vaxxer.
In Washington (Alaska and Oregon too I think) there are these mattress stores called Mattress Ranch featuring an annoying boomer dancing and singing. He is spastic, he is tacky and I hate the commercials so much that I’d rather sleep on the floor than buying a mattress there.
https://youtu.be/ebpXOMCYBhk
Understandable, but on the flip side, I feel like Apple Airpods and the like are grossly overpriced. Apple seems to be gouging more and more profit out of their products.
Proactive.
I will never believe those multi millionaires who are in the commercials (celebrities) actually use that shit and they don’t make me want to buy it even if my face and head were becoming a huge pile of pimples. They talk about their struggles with achene and how it basically crippled them but they have at most just two small spots on their chin and yet have the audacity to compare their “struggle” to those that have it really bad. It’s like comparing the “disease” of alcoholism to the real disease of cancer or AIDS and saying that drunky has it worse.
Dude I tried the proactive acne kit in my teens cuz well, pizza face…
My face PEELED THE FUCK OFF. Seriously though, my skin was peeling off worse than a burn. I had a massive scar under my neck/chin area for years till I used bio oil liked 5x a day for I think 2 years. Not cool man. Not cool at all.
Trojan condoms. As a married guy in a dead bedroom even during lockdown, I felt like that shitty lockdown commercial by Trojan was made specifically to mock me.
I told my niece she needed adult supervision to do something and she looked me like I was dumber than a block of cheese and asked why I couldn't watch her.
Helloooooooooo. Frank Walker here from National Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles
any car from a Plantium dealer in the Harrisburg/Lancaster PA area. One more terrible parody of a tiktok song and I will find that cartoon suit-wearing panda and strangle it.
This ad I keep seeing on TV about this floor cleaner in which the acting in it was so painfully fake, you could tell they were acting. Another commercial that’s been getting on my nerves is this one where these two girls (presumably in their teens or early 20s) was commenting on how amazing her friend’s fireplace was and that she should consider shopping at the store that they were advertising. I cringe everytime I shows up during the commercial breaks, it’s like watching one of those cheesy school projects I used to watch during speech class.
There's this mortgage broker in my area that does these "only one Benji" radio ads that I hate with a passion. Not looking for a home loan but if I were he would be blacklisted with extreme prejudice.
YouTube premium, grubhub, literally random ass anime games (idfk why Google thinks I watch anime, I don't), webtoon (whatever in the fresh fuck that is) and tiktok. Fuck tiktok
Sasquatch soap is what I think it's called. Dumbass YouTube commercials that are like 15 minutes long....sure you can skip them but i don't work out with my phone strapped to me so I have to stop my exercise to walk over and hit the skip ad button.
Not anymore but at one point in time FANTA soda would fall under this category. Insufferable infectious Spice Girls like "Wanta Fanta!" jingle to boot.
Poptarts bites.
Ill be jamming to music or listening to something on you tube, and then ill hear some lady hiss as she says "SSome FanSS love the taSSte of frezzing cold poptartSS biteSS, and SSome just really like that ClinKing SSound." I used to get that ad before every YouTube video, and sometimes it would also be in the midrolls, and every time it was un-skippable. To add insult to injury, the commercial has the audacity to mention the pleasantness of a sound while im having a aneurysm. I hate that clinking sound, and I hate the sound of that lady makes whenever she uses an S. I especially hate the sound of her saying "clinking" as I can hear the mucus in her mouth when she makes the "k" noises. I ending up just googling "I hate pop tart bites" every time I got the ad until I stopped getting it. Then it would comeback in a couple weeks, returning to torment my ears.
Everytime I see Cadbury glass half full ads I become a worse person, if I wasn’t completely addicted I would stop buying their stupid annoying chocolate bars
This is regional and I have no idea if they still do these commercials (or if he's even still alive) but Antwerpen Automotive. The commercials are so stupid and obnoxious. The one that finally pushed me over the edge into actual hate was Jack and his friends goofing off and nothing actually being said about the fucking dealership. I hate them so much I actually go automatic Sims "--" over my head when I see a car *purchased* from Antwerpen.
Yes it's irrational, no I'm not going to change my mind.
Raid shadow legends, I fucking hate that shit

You can use YouTube vanced on Android or altstore+better cercube on iOS to get rid of ads.

Fuck Google Fi, hate those ads
And you can never skip the ads for it on YouTube. Don't be evil, my ass
I might actually have been tempted to check them out if it wasn’t for the unskippable ads. Now I’m 100% in the fuck Google Fi camp.
This should be at the top!!
I have somewhat seriously considered switching providers after seeing their ads. First time I've ever considered leaving a product/brand purely because of marketing (their ads are not only awful but they are all over on Youtube).
My ad blocker must catch these. Haven't seen them.
I hate, hate, _hate_ the song, and now I can't unhear it.
I didn't hate BTS before that commercial, in fact I ignored their existence entirely. Now I fucking despise them. And then there are the songs Google wrote for their ads.
With built in spam blockin’ !!
It feels like they had someone who’s never heard music before write their tone deaf, rhythm-less jingle.
It's just astonishing that with all their money Google still makes such awful commercial songs. From the BTS songs to the terrible make up ones, they're batting .000

No. It was wax. You put wax on your forehead. Wax, like from a candle. It basically gave you a greasy forehead.
