Commercials you're getting sick of with this lockdown

[Cream&Crimson]

Flipping back and forth between news channels so much during this time has made me realize how old those channel's demo's are. Nothing but drug commercials. I'm so F**king sick of their jingles. That and insurance companies. I have Liberty Mutual, but they can suck it.

What's your most annoying commercial right now. For me it's probably Gabi.

First of all, why in the f**k would you name your company that? It means nothing. WTF is "Gabi?" From a marketing perspective (and I've spent many years in marketing) that business name puts the burden completely 100% on you to build that brand and make your demo understand what and who you are, because your name is not helping you - at all. Not in the slightest. That pisses me off.

Then, this guy who says he's the 'founder' or whatever, has the most annoying accent. I hate listening to the f**king guy. I mute those commercials as fast as I can reach for the remote. Why didn't he go with someone as his spokesperson who isn't so GD annoying? I don't even care WTH he's selling - I'd never use his service just because he's so GD stupid, and burning through untold millions on those incessant GD commercials.

ok I fell better getting that off my chest.

What's yours?

Haven't been watching much TV and what we do watch is recorded so we blast through the commercials. The only upside to losing live sports was also losing all those annoying commercials.

Is it just me or are 2/3 of the commercials for either Liberty Mutual or Geico? I keep hoping to see one where Flo and the lizard are in one car and the Emu is in another and they all die in a flaming car crash.

First thing I thought of and hands down, Liberty Mutual. The other one I was really sick of, but it seems they've slowed them, were the Peyton Manning Brad Paisley Nationwide ones. Always hated those, and also the State Farm ones with the black guy with the deep voice. Even the old Aaron Rogers discount double checks.... insurance companies need to up their game. Have they forgotten about hot women?

Not familiar with GABI, must be local? There's an HVAC company locally that does these really annoying commercials with some stupid jingle they sing about starting your system up "gently, gently"... makes me barf in my throat a little.

fat f*ck William Shatner and his CPAP cleaner.

No don't think it's local. It's something about saving money on car insurance. It's on probably every commercial break on MSNBC and CNN.

Flonase. So completely sick of that jingle.

No wonder I haven’t seen it.

Yah I have access to Xfinity stations here in S'pore. Every time I watch US TV the are either medical, pharmacy, insurance or fast-food. I am sure there is a connection there.

What happened to the good ol' innocent days of cars/trucks and alcohol adverts?

I think all the commercials for pharmaceuticals illustrate the problems with our insurance/healthcare system.... follow the money! Basic plans should focus on preventative, emergency and catastrophic care and put a reasonable share (one third?) on the individual for elective/non-critical stuff, or you opt to pay more for a richer coverage plan. Provide price transparency and incentivize the individual to shop price/services (I could pick a more expensive specialist, but my share is going to be higher too). I think those simple things could get us on the path to more affordable healthcare. Oh, and everyone on the same plan... Congress especially!
