Most recent commercials that you abhor.

Hello.
Although I haven't had tv for some years and in the last year I do now.
Minimul channels.
I am not impressed again.
Anyways, the shows and commercials drive me buggy and make me feel hate!

The stupidest one is where the neighbor comes over to introduce himself to the new mini wheat neighbors and flirts with her and her husband reminds her with their wedding picture that they are married.
I pay to watch this!?
If I could really sum up my emotions I would barf Alphabets.
So so stupid. And they show it so often.
I mean someone actually got paid for this!????
Cant stand these commercials.
Soon back to just videos.

Oh easy. Kaiser Permanente radio ads. They sound like a snotty know it all 8th grade girl giving her "graduation speech" to the breathlessly adoring (bored to tears) crowds of adults to hear golden kernels of wisdom for the first time evar (and want her to stfu so they can go get ice cream).

Because I'm paying for it and I have hope that something intelligent will make it worth the mind meld.
I watch Judge Judy..yes..yes..
The Waltons.

Carnivora radio ads...they drive me crazy. Almost always at night so it's a chore to reach over and turn down the vol.

Of course Canadian television commercials vs the U.S are so much more intelligent than what the down hole south gets.

What does it take to have a commercial really funny/witty...or make you think about your life or just life; or someone else's?
I'd love to do this work rather than Machining....which is a good life...but to know the human being struggling and understanding what life has presented them I'm you realist interpreter.

Ha-ha.

No commercials in my life. Ad block in mozilla. No TV. Satellite radio in the car.

Jimmy Fallon pimping some credit card.

The one where Shaquille o'neal rubs lotion on himself

You could always read a book. It's free. Plus YOU get to decide the subject instead of a focus group.

What is the purpose of television after all?

No book is ever free, unless you steal that one from your Motel room in the drawer.

Purpose of tv nowadays.....I don't know. ......And I'm proud of that.

Apparently you've never heard of libraries. It would do you well to visit one.

The purpose of TV is (and always was) to sell you stuff.
