Do some commercials make anyone else's skin crawl...or make you change the channel?
The two I hate the most...it is because of the two women who star in them...I can't stand these two women...or maybe it is just the two characters they play I can't stand..doesn't matter either way though
First....."Flo".... I don't buy it....or her....and not I have a really bad impression of "Progressive Insurance"
...and this witch from Red Robin....never been there...and never will because of her....(I probably wouldn't have ever gone there anyway....but that is beside the point)
I have no idea what bugs me about either one of them..but they drive me crazy....
There are very few commercials that I find creative or funny so as soon as the commercial break comes on I reach for the remote and the "Mute"button. Advertisers would hate me.

There are too many to count. I hate all these quirky ads that have nothing to do with the product they're advertising, or ads with breathy covers of 70s / 80s songs.
1. Big Pharmo pushing drugs in advertising. Jay brought home a magazine from the clinic with and article about how Pharmo's advertising budgets are really being paid by jacking up health insurance rates on people under 30 who are also getting jacked up for the high priced meds. I'm glad I don't have the magazine handy to quote the figures. It would cause many brains to explode.
2. Law Firms on TV drumming up bodies to sign on with mutli hundred million/billion dollar law suits civil suits. Let's not talk about that. There's a whole other chunk of money that we're paying for in our insurance rates.
I watch very little TV so thankfully I don't see ads that often. Luckily online you can usually skip ads after 5 seconds. I don't think I have ever not skipped an ad, which means I have never found an ad interesting enough in those first five seconds!

I think you are making a big deal out of this one for nothing.
Now, if you'll excuse me, according to the ad from Dewey, Cheatum & Howe, I should contact them about something called a vaginal mesh.
