Obnoxious commercials

Are there any commercials that irritated you so much that you decided to avoid the product or service being advertised because of that commercial or ad campaign? If so, which ones?

I see so few commercials that they are only passing irritants and I rapidly forget them.

Brand names are a different matter. I stopped buying "Marathon" bars when the manufacturers pointlessly re-named them "Snickers".

Horses "snicker" - a sort of equine giggle - or it could be the name of some fancy plimosll intended to impress teenagers.

They are all irritating.

But also so unmemorable as to have a neglible effect.

A fun game to play with the family is 'Guess The Product'.

Mute the advert and try to work out what is being sold.

It's sometimes trickier than you'd think...

Yes i hate some adds so much but was never going to buy the product anyway .. mostly cringy personal hygiene products

I like the old spice ads tho those are cute ☺
That blue website that comes up on YouTube regularly. I deactivated my account. Those commercials help decide never to log back in

All those Superannuation adverts

Funeral covers ads

Ads for Toilet Paper - Who isn't buying that?

Yes. One that come to mind right off, is the MyPillow commercials. I found them very annoying long before the man became known as a rabid Trump supporter and election "fraud" blow-hard.

Insurance commercials; Flo and Progressive, the emu from Liberty and State Farm!

@SageWanderer They all seem to focus on trying to be funny that they lose sight of what they’re actually selling. I’ll give Allstate credit that at least their mayhem guy ties in directly to their product.

@uncalled4 Agreed. Those are pretty obnoxious.

The uber-patriotic Dodge Ram commercials.

@DearAmbellina2113 If their reliability ratings compared to their competitors wasn’t enough, those commercials are the gut wrenching icing on the cake.
The sham wow guy that also did the slap chop.

@NativePortlander1970 I’d forgotten about that, but I do remember now that you mention it. Seems like it was effortless for him to play a douchebag in those commercials.
@BamPow Who said he was playing.

@NativePortlander1970 True. It was most likely Vince as himself.
