I think the single most annoying commercial for me right now is the Taco Bell one where the song is like
Let's eat
yah yah
something something
yah yah
something else
yah yah

Excepting stuff with an explicitly political bent or whatever, just leave that out of it. I think the traditional answer for me's Liberty Mutual, kind of just amazingly consistent in how absolutely horrendous every single ad they do is, but the obnoxious-ass singing in the current Burger King campaign is giving them a real run for their money lately. Oh man, I love the Limu Emu and I'll never fail to giggle at the one with the bad actor - "Liberty biberty" Funny thing about the Liberty Biberty guy is he's one of the lead male actors on Bold and the Beautiful right now so I see him pretty much every day outside of those ads. It amuses me. |

Cricket's ugly mascots. I mean, I actually belong to Cricket, but I dont like having to see all of those weird rejects from CGI kids films every time I turn my phone on, let alone see them interact with WWE wrestlers. I am going to respectfully disagree with you on this one. I remember thinking the ones with Miz and Charlotte from a while back were funny. I also like the one with Kofi, especially the male character's reaction. I just love the voice actor's delivery when he said "He never touches the ground when he leaves the ring." |

Why is it when there is a break in the game I'm playing or a video I'm watch, I keep seeing video break with feminine undergarments? Excepting stuff with an explicitly political bent or whatever, just leave that out of it. I think the traditional answer for me's Liberty Mutual, kind of just amazingly consistent in how absolutely horrendous every single ad they do is, but the obnoxious-ass singing in the current Burger King campaign is giving them a real run for their money lately. Oh man, I love the Limu Emu and I'll never fail to giggle at the one with the bad actor - "Liberty biberty" My wife said, "If I had known their commercials would be so awful I would have never picked them." |

If you can remember the ad…it’s not the worst. Not true. I remember the recent deliberately transphobic chocolate ads and they are just the smurfing worst. If you're referring to what I think you are, did those actually make it to TV, or just online? |

Google's password ad that infests every YouTube video. Saw a Google ad recently that started with this line (and I hope it was intentional tongue-in-cheek humour): "Did you know that Google has a phone?" Yes, after being lambasted by the Google phone commercials between every YouTube video for the last year, I'm somewhat aware that Google has a phone. |

I had one recommended to me on YouTube last month and had no clue what criteria they used in selecting that ad. And because I decided to look into it further, it kept showing up on videos I watched, so I couldn't f***ing escape them. |

First thing that came to my mind. For the few seconds it lasts, that "jingle" actually upsets me and I let a lot of bigger things go, but not that. |

If you can remember the ad…it’s not the worst. I’m not so sure. There have been plenty of campaigns that have almost tanked their companies - especially see “Not Your Father’s Oldsmobile.” |

There have been plenty of campaigns that have almost tanked their companies - especially see “Not Your Father’s Oldsmobile.” While not tanking their company, McDonald's Arch Deluxe campaign was a pretty notable failure, too, though supposedly, it was also valuable in terms of how they'd frame future promotions aimed at adults like salads, McCafe, etc. |

[Oh Canada Trap Remix playing cause any answer I have on this might as well be from Mars]
Lay's Chips ads are probably the ones that make me wanna puke like a cat the most for how hard they slam the BRANDS ARE JUST A WHOLESOME PART OF FAMILY LIFE button. Like one of them has a Grandma going hard as f*** at ping pong talking about how part of seeing her grandkids is getting to spoil them with their favorite flavors of Lays Chips in those exact words like these kids come thru the door like MEE MAW WHERE'S MY MID AS f*** BBQ FLAVOR?

I wonder if those are Canadian ads. Reminds me of watching AEW wrestlers playing Among Us, and everyone begging Evil Uno to bring them Ketchup flavor chips and All Dressed ones so they could try them. I think those ones are Ruffles, though? Never had either, in any case. |

Massachusetts recently legalized online sports betting and all the ads promoting them are inescapable and insufferable. The ones featuring Boston born comedian Lenny Clarke are the worst though
