I try to use the DVR to avoid them, but still have to put up with them on live tv. Don’t know which parts of the country or world y’all are in, but these stinkers run in my region:
1-800 empire annoying retro jingle. Sounds like some corny crap from 1950s.
Kars 4 Kids. Can’t dive for that mute button fast enough.
Wayfair ads. They have like 3 different jingles, one more annoying than the next.
When you don't have cable or pay for streams it's the local ones, there's this reoccurring commercial of this little girl who's grown up over the years in cleveland and man i was in a different city for a year and a half came back to ohio and freaking they wont stop making this commercial , its just cute pictures of this little girl growing up over the years and every year they add to the commercial and they just own a freaking a mattress store or hardwood flooring or something. I want to kill the television everytime I see it.
shareThe political ads and the frequency at which they air, are extremely annoying.
I wouldn't mind them if they would only tell us what these people stand for and what they plan to do for us. We are suppose to vote for these people. They are suppose to be working on helping us! Instead???? They sling mud at the person they are running against! After a few months of this and the same ads, you get to the point where you are just plain tired of BOTH candidates!

Agreed on all
That Kars4Kids ones is a total earworm! I hate them so much and its possible that they do great things for kids
That jingle is just too catchy and annoying
Every pharmaceutical commercial. It's like they're all made by the same ad agency, too.
shareThey ARE amusing though because the side effects will mess you up WAY more than the original condition lololol
'Side effects may include homicidal rage fits, leaky butthole and night-time crying...'
Thx, ill just deal with my allergy to cats...
Speaking of which... https://consumerist.com/2009/04/16/9-legal-drugs-with-extremely-disturbing-side-effects/

Thanks Chantix but ill probably just keep smoking!
Definitely the pharma commercials.
Political ads are terrible too, but since I ditched TV, I don't see either of them anymore. At least the political ads don't run all year.
Same here. Haven't had TV for years and the best part of not having it is no commercials. There are just too many nowadays. I think most commercials are a snowflake in a blizzard - so many that most don't stand out, and the ones that do stand out for the wrong reason - completely annoying.
shareIt's so great not having any commercials! I don't know how I stood it for all those years, except for using them as bathroom and quick trip to the kitchen breaks.
When I was staying at my friend's place, I once counted how many commercials in a row there were as I fast-forwarded through the DVR. Wasn't important enough to remember, but something like 15-20. Shorter than they used to be, and more of them. Which would give them that snowflake in a blizzard effect. None of the ones I saw stood out in any way. All equally bad and forgettable.
I've only seen this once, but still it happened. I saw in the same commercial break, an ad for a prescription medication, and an ad for the lawyer who can win you money because the same medication is killing you if you took it. No joke.
shareAny commercial where the protagonist wears a Levi type denim jacket which is just about all of them now. If I did not know so much about marketing from college then I would not be aware that often is product placement in the commercial or a commercial within a commercial. Further, I just don't get being stuck in a rut over any piece of clothing. Nothing wrong with that type of jacket but I don't want to wear it 24/7/365 either or feel peer pressure to do so.

Actually the look has been in and out for the last 20 years but the manufacturers keep finding new tie ins such as Miller Beer where a patron is sporting a Levi jacket. I figure as it is with most generational views that the look will finally be tied to old fossils who don't get "today." Kind of like how many late boomer's and Generation X viewed their elders.
