The My Pillow guy has gotten old fast. I swear he refers to himself as the "inventure" of this miracle pillow.

Old stand-by Karz for Kidz. I want to put one of those My Pillows over their faces, one by one.

Spectrum. Oh, come on. They gush over themselves as if they were ushering in a new golden age of universal harmony and bliss. A new beginning…get over it, you are cable monopoly scum.

Locally, Hillside Honda. Terrible, terrible jingle. Someone needs to be slapped.

Share some vitriol!

Stupid volvo XC90 wedding one. Where the guy is looking at "candid" photos from a wedding on a $30,000 hasselblad. Cause apparently thats what you need a $30,000 camera for.

I hate ads. I love TiVo, skip ads. I signed up for DirecTV and I am afraid I can no longer avoid ads.

....don't like 1 + 1 [ ad.dition ] but 1-1 [ subtraction ] is o.k......

The Mercedes-Benz ad where the parents wake up the kids. It was cute maybe twice. The second year of this makes me wish I had "accidental damage" for my TV in case I throw something at it.

On the other hand, love the Subaru ones with the dog family -- especially the golden retriever puppy in the car seat.

All the ads for prescription drugs and the long list of contraindications!

Love my TiVo for those times I remember to fast forward through the bad ads.

Piggybacking on what some others have said, all the luxury car ads suggesting that their product would be the ultimate holiday gift. This probably started with Lexus 15+ years ago with the big bows, but collectively, these ads are really nauseating. Nothing like the wonder and magic of treating yourself or your loved ones to a $70,000 vehicle. Stop tugging on my heartstrings.

When an expensive car is given as a surprise gift (with or without the big bow) I wonder if the recipient would not have liked to have had a choice in its selection, which takes away the element of surprise but certainly assures that the vehicle is the preferred one.

I turn off the sound on all of the pharma ads. Well, come to think of it, I am pretty quick on the mute button for ALL ads, but I too do not like the "this stuff might kill you, but ask you doctor if it is right for you" ads with imagery that has little to do with the condition being described.

The MGM National Harbor commercial is insanely horrible. I assume it's regional, so here it is for your viewing pleasure:

There is an ad that plays on SlingTV with a football player talking about the time he spends with his kids...and then the ad is cut off every darn time. I'd actually LIKE to see that ad at least once. So I don't hate it but I am frustrated by it (or SlingTV).

Oh yes, the TiVo green button (skips all commercials). The only problem with that is it also skips previews of upcoming shows etc. I sometimes like to see those.

Do radio ads count?
I can't stand the ones that say maybe you're not fat, just bloated.
Yeaaaaaaahhhh....riiiiiight....

I guess I'm lucky in that I can just mentally tune out ads. On occasion I'll also pause a show at the start and find something to do for 15-20 minutes, then when I start it playing, I can fast forward past commercials and still finish at the same time as the program (most 60 minute shows are filled with ~20 minutes of ads).

“No persons are more frequently wrong, than those who will not admit they are wrong.”

Growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

any ad that boasts of a "JD Power award", like that matters.
Shark Jumpers: Ford w/ Denis Leary & Lincoln w/ Matthew McConaughey
Plain annoying: Ty Pennington pitching anything.
Disgusting: The woman selling copper cookware.
Ads from Signet Jewelers (Zales, Kay Jewelers, and Jared): doesn't matter how
much lipstick you put on it, a piece of poop is still a piece of poop.

All the ads targeted @ seniors (me) on Medicare: over-priced crap ("device") billed to the taxpayers. eg, wrist brace @ Walgreens: $12; same item from TV ad billed to Medicare: $178.

btw, how "Karz for Kidz" hasn't been shut down is really a mystery. Maybe because they're a 'religious charity'??

Yes, the "My Pillow" ads freak me out. Zip past if it is on the DVR otherwise I mute the sound. WHY ARE HIS ADS TWICE AS LONG? And he claims chosen by the National Sleep Foundation.... did you know his company created that foundation? Google it. Get a comparable pillow at Walmart for one-third the price.

DVR allows me to skip them, so unless it's a live TV game in real time I tend to miss the commercials or at least have them on mute. Netflix doesn't have them... but I keep seeing one for Chantix on Youtube that I wish I could eliminate.

In general I think drug advertising needs to die, unless it's over the counter. If you have to talk to your doctor about it, then it's not something that should be advertised.

There's an expensive drug for that!

I don't watch a lot of TV, and a lot of times I hit pause on the DVR while watching live TV so I can grab a snack, or use the bathroom and then skip over the ads later.

The only ads right now that I can't stand are a local car dealer where an obnoxious guy keeps interrupting his female cohort, then ends the ad by saying "It's Uuuuuuuge". The ads stopped for a while when Donald Rump was looking like he'd lose, but now that he won, they are back with a vengeance.

Lawyer ads for local attorneys. They always have someone breathlessly saying how said lawyer got them huge settlements, and you may get one too! Call today for your free consultation!

They seem to proliferate during lunch when we have the tv on.

You should probably avoid having lunch there. Maybe someone is trying to tell you something.

I forgot to mention how much I hate the Xfinity commercial where Gramma and Grampa spend hundreds of dollars in the hopes that their spoiled rotten grandkids' love can be bought.

I still hate the Sonic TV ads with the two morons in the car. They have gotten less obnoxious recently but they're still annoying.

On the radio there is a "21 means 21" PSA that is so annoying I have to mute it. It has an awkward teen with a mustache buying a bunch of stuff along with beer. Most of the discussion between he and the clerk is about his mustache.

Aside from it being really annoying, I can't believe this is a big enough problem that they are spending money constantly airing the ad. I have never seen a local store that didn't check IDs from everyone for alcohol sales.

Also, any of the American Freight TV and radio commercials with this guy who needs to be killed (or at least have his vocal chords surgically removed): [www.youtube.com]
