There’s lots of irritations included in that Jardiance spot - the lame, overused concept of a commercial that’s just the filming of a commercial; the annoying ear worm of a tune; the soul-deadening “dance” moves; the all-knowing mailman with the list of side-effects; and of course the damn ubiquity of that damn ad being everywhere every time all at once.
The thing that really grinds my gears, though - and I know it’s weird - is the final line of the jingle. They don’t put a breath or a rest between phrases in the last line, and it just hits my ear wrong. “Jardiance is really swellthe little pill with the big sto-ry to tell” makes me grind my teeth every time.
I couldn't agree more. I've had that stupid little jingle stuck in my head for days especially that final line which just played in my head on a loop. That commercial is bad enough that I'm scrambling for the mute on the remote the second I hear it just to save myself the insanity that would be impending.
It's that song's little dramatic pause at the beginning that really makes me want to throw into the sun......
Lol yep it worked. The fact I still remember it now testifies to that. Still despised it though.
Add that OTR cocktails to the list. That otter is just creepy for some reason. Some weird animatronic type gestures that just is messed up.
Those awful Old Navy commercials.
Those liberty mutual commercials. Progressive too. I feel like Progressive tries too hard to be funny and just falls flat on their face. Geico is the humorous insurance company.
I will say though it is nice having DVR in todays world. Not having to watch many commercials is so great. Beautiful invention.

Burger King commercials….i detest them. I have almost turned off games on ESPN+ because that’s all they seem to play during the breaks
Yeah I don't know what the deal is with Natasha Lyonne's weird Jersey-girl-from-the-1940s schtick in those ads. She used to be an admired and pretty edgy actor, at least from what I remember of her. Slums of Beverly Hills I thought was a good movie, and I don't remember her sounding like that at all. It's pretty grating.
Has anyone mentioned the Toyota Grand Highlander commercial where the whole family does a terrible attempt at singing Best Day of My Life to the disgust of the teen daughter in the SUV?
I hate everything about it.
I hate that the dad cranking the stereo in the car and starting to sing because no self respecting gen x parent given the chance would do this to that song.
I hate the daughter for being snotty about being picked up by her family when she gets in the car.
I hate the mom's Lois Griffin energy in the front seat.
I hate the little brother for even being there, because why should he escape blame for being a part of it?
I hate grandma for trying to play it off as being hip. The only hip she needs to worry about is the one that needs replacing.
Grandpa in the back is the only redeeming character in the whole thing. They stuck the old man in the third row seat, which is ridiculous, by the way, and he mostly is trying to just mind his own business the whole time.

For me it’s the Dr Pepper Fansville ads. The first couple years it seemed like every week there would be new ads and it did kind of feel like a somewhat cohesive story. This year it’s just the same two ads that show every week. They were smart and funny the first couple times I seen them. The 500th time, not so much.

Toyota is also making it exceedingly difficult to even buy a new Grand Highlander, artificially constricting the supply to dealers and making buyers wait for whatever model/color they might deign to ship to your particular dealer. Which makes me wonder why they’re spending money to create and air commercials for a vehicle you can’t just go to a dealer and buy off the lot.
Yeah Kia had a pretty robust campaign behind the Telluride its first year when you couldn't find one anywhere either.
Oh don't worry. All indications are that retail new car sales are currently collapsing and the industry will probably be in crisis mode by spring. If you can wait a little bit, it'll probably save you a bunch of money.
Not necessarily bad, but when the Polestar 2 commercial comes on does anyone else hear pornstar 2? Or is it just me?
Derail: That movie got funnier after watching Parks and Rec and realizing how thick his doucheyness was being put on.
