I hope we won't be subjected to those Honda commercials with the cars covered in creepy graffiti-style lettering spelled out "Meh," "Blah," Bleh, etc. the entire NFL and college football seasons. Seeing that ad with those cars make my skin crawl. Saw it a few times today during college football coverage--sicko IMO.

The worst commercials in TV history..
- Thread starter mleach
- Start date
Not sure how I missed this, but the animation on Rock Auto ads is pretty bad as well.
'OooHhHhh...HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH!' Frigging' Progressive and Jamie! I wish he would go away!
Pull-Ups doing a nasty rap of their 'I'm a Big Kid Now' jingle. I mute it within 2 seconds, every time. They should be ashamed of themselves of greenlighting a rap commercial for babies and mothers to listen to...
All the Wayfair commercials, hate the jingles.
'Is that my she shed?' State Farm...instant mute!
And my worst so far...
"Liberty Liberty Liberty, Liberty". Whoever greenlighted that awful jingle for Liberty Mutual insurance should be shipped off to Siberia. Not to mention I hate the commercials themselves - the dorky guy throwing his phone into the 'harbor,' the grudge commercial, you name it. At least they aren't showing BRADDDDD anymore.
No wonder the mute button is the most-used button on the remote!

I'm not a fan of Liberty commercials, but I believe this is a retro jingle that the company used back in the day. I give them credit for that. I kinda like it. I also am insured by Safeco, which is a Liberty Company. More power to them, so far they have treated me well.
Choice Hotels advertises on Facebook a lot. Every time their ad pops up in my feed, the comments are about 20 percent bitching about their customer service and 80 percent expressing their opinion that the Bada Book Bada Boom guy might not be the most beloved spokesperson in advertising history.
I wish that 'goofy, low-frills' trend for TV ad jingles would go away, and they'd actually revive the practice of hiring a chorus of jingle singers. All the insurance companies sound like bad 'SNL' parodies of themselves with their 'quirky' musical tags.
Belinda Carlisle is rolling over in her grave....oh wait she aint dead yet
Many of the worst of the worst come from the pharma/medical supply industry IMHO.
- The woman who is high-fiving and WOO-HOOing the designers of her colostomy bag.
- The animated talking box that sits on a toilet while selling you a home test for colon cancer.
- The ad for the Gardisil HPV vaccine where a young person who was just diagnosed with cancer regresses in age to 12 and looks accusingly at their parents for not getting them the vaccine.

At least Cologard is better than that disgusting Progressive BOX...they brought that atrocity back with that Get That House thing. Someone needs to freaking smash that thing...now.
The one medical ad I hate is the SpeakEndo ad...the yelling woman who appears as she talks about her endometriosis...

I hate the JG Wentworth ads, especially the ones where they try to make it sound like an opera. 
The Bounce "Your Love" spot wouldn't be quite as bad if it was sung on key.
I HATE THAT ONE TOO! I mute it every time. Wonder what the Outfield's band members think of their song being botched up for a fabric softener?
I'm also sick to death of Walmart and Black Eyed Peas' 'Let's Get it Started'. It's September 8th (well, 12:01AM on the 8th). Kids have been back in school here for almost two weeks. Why is a back-to-school ad still running?
Party City will have the Halloween Thriller ad out before the 15th, I bet. Then we'll see Hershey's Kisses We Wish You a Merry Xmas before you know it. Oh, joy!

because some schools (like here in Minnesota) dont start until the day after Labor Day. Heck the district I work at didnt start until Wednesday, and that was grades 6-12. K-5 started Thursday the 6th
Well, with Walmart ending their back to school ads, Party City starts their Halloween ads. They've already pulled out a new commercial just in the past week. Anyone want to predict when we'll start seeing the Hershey's Kisses 'We Wish You a Merry Xmas' ad? Or Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds?
"Your Love" was also used in a video game (one of the Grand Theft Auto editions, I think) - perhaps the Outfield don't seem to care as long as the royalty checks clear.
schools here started a month ago
I actually get the logic behind that one.
There are so many goofy commercials from insurance companies running, they all blur together to the casual viewer. "Hey, honey, was that funny ad we just saw from Geico? Or Progressive? Or was it State Farm?"

Geico's got another stupid one with meerkats. And another stupid one 'I LOVE YOU POOKIE BEAR!' nauseum. And another Gecko ad. And, and, and....all I know they won't be my insurance company!
Progressive and their stupid 'OooHHH Heaven is a Place on Earth!' nonsense with Jamie, just drives me nuts. State Farm 'My She-Shed' also. No wonder the mute button is the most worn-out button on my remote!
