Here's another commercial I find offensive. It's for Summer's Eve and shows a man accidentally using it in the shower and having to prove he's manly as result. It feels so off-topic and grates on my nerves. I can't stand the woman's voice either. Gives me chills just thinking about it. The thing I find most annoying about this (and all the summer's eve commercials) is that they say "a woman's V," as if we all call it that. Does anyone? If you can't say v***** or something at least used in normal language then just say something else like feminine hygiene. I mean we can say erectile dysfunction and diarrhea with oily discharge but we can't say v*****.  |

I've never seen that commercial Kpatch. It sounds awful. |

I hate the Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial with the Colonel and Mrs. Butterworth "Dirty Dancing" to I've Had the Time of My Life. It's a total ripoff of the NFL commercial from last year with Eli Manning and Odell Beckham. And it's really poorly executed. I can't believe the powers that be approved it. Cringeworthy.

I dislike commercials about any pharmaceutical drug in general even if it's done in a cute way. There's one in particular about some eczema drug and the side effects, good grief, they seem way worse than the condition itself.

Just saw a new annoying commercial. An undercover is sitting in the back seat of some mobsters' car. One of the mobsters pulls the guy's fake mustache off and demands he explain himself. The man says that you can save money on car insurance with GEICO and the mobster says, "Why didn't you say so? I thought you were wearing a wire!" and everyone laughs. Unfortunately it's one of the commercials sponsoring TNT's live feed so I've seen it about 10 times while watching the first half of Major Crimes tonight. I only like the Geico commercials with the Geico Gecko. I think those are cute. |

No offense meant, but I am so tired of those commercials that say "We're in this together" or "We're here for you" or the ones that are supposed to be dramatic/uplifting music with no narration. It all feels hollow because it's overdone and preachy.

This thread is interesting because my younger son loves the commercials from the 70s and 80s he's seen on youtube and sometimes we watch them together. I really enjoy watching them and taking a trip to the past. True it's laughable and ridiculous how they had women fretting over clean laundry and how to bake a cake back then. That was normal for a commercial and not many batted an eyelash. They still do a variation of that today to some extent but it's more politically correct. One old commercial that stands out for me is a Woolworth's ad where a custodian was playing a keyboard after all the customers had left. I didn't even remember they sold instruments there. It was so heartfelt, almost like art. I think most commercials of today have lost that feeling, a lot of them seem shallow.

I also hate when they call it the new normal.. This isn't normal and to me it's just the temporary normal. We may become more conscious of our health & such, but I do not believe we will become a nation or world of Howie Mandels. I still believe we will hug & shake hands again.
