Ads that grate on your nerves
For me it's those Oak St Health (CVS) ads. They manage to be both patronizing, insulting, and completely uninformative.
What's your's? ![]()

Progressive Insurance where they insult parents.
I want to become like my Mom and Dad raised me. They raised me to be respectful of our elders, unlike Progressive Insurance.

Where do I start? This one's especially irritating, but there are many others too.
All the whole-body deodorant ads...Joe Namath hawking hearing aids...Liberty Mutual...the list is long ![]()

Yes the "Liberty" ones with the emu, as Marty said.
Also "My Pillow" and "Omega XL" w/John Walsh.

There has to be a back room person that sees me watch provacative dancing teenagers on Tik Tok and crashes that against my 68 years of age and says "Send it". +1

We have 14 different law firms telling us how much money they have made for clients. These ads run all day long. Most have a "jingle" of some type. I remember from a class on advertising, if you have nothing intelligent to say, sing it.

Yes! A bunch of fat people marching down the street for no reason. Though I do enjoy the WTF list of side effects.

The SUV ads where, the current Santa Fe ad is a prime example, the SUV is being thrashed through streams, puddles, and jacking down dirt roads without a care in the GD Tie Rod World.

It's getting difficult to buy good radios to listen to while working in the garage. But the first requirement is a remote with a mute button. You gotta be quick-draw-McGraw or be inundated with Low T "Hey Bill, Haven't seen ya at the gym lately...Zap!!! And pity those with bad maculas who end up paying for the blanket ads for izervay.
