NFT: Does this commerical annoy anyone else?

jnoble : 3/1/2021 11:48 am
I sort of wish he'd go under and nobody attempts to save him. The douchey dance he does after putting on a kid's pool toy and his overall "Hey everyone, look at me! I'm being wacky!" vibe.

Oh and I think we're supposed to be learning about a medication too. But that's lost on me because I can't stop hating on this guy.

every commercial annoys me  
djm : 3/1/2021 11:57 am : link
except ones with pets or some of the progressive commercials.

And the shit fucks that decided to assault everyone by the minute, every minute with the fanduels and draft kings commercials, because THAT'S EXACTLY what this country needs, more addiction.

5 years from now it will be the same tired, obligatory and horse shit responses from the ones who made billions by flooding the market with this addictive shit. I don't begrudge anyone from gambling, but we don't need to be all urged, poked, prodded and enticed every fucking second. I'd say people never learn, but they know exactly what they are doing. No one cares.

See you in 5 years when half the country is addicted to gambling.

I feel the same way. Every other commercial during Knicks games is for some gambling site. Hell, during free throws they show quick spots for these sites and I think the pre-game/half-time shows are sponsored by them too!
Don't forget the emails  
oghwga : 3/1/2021 12:18 pm : link
I get them daily.

"Sign up now at such and such gambling site and if the sun comes up tomorrow win $100."

It's crazy. Lure you in with easy money then you're chasing it forever.
SPRINKLES!  
Greg from LI : 3/1/2021 12:19 pm : link
But yeah, I want to break things every time I get a Draft Kings ad, which is all the damned time. The way that woman says "Make.....it.....rain" sets my teeth on edge.
If you include radio, hands down...

I had the TV on but wasn’t really watching. It was evening news.  
Giant John : 3/1/2021 12:40 pm : link
It was one of the main three news channels. Commercials caught my attention. Every 90 seconds they were running a new series of commercials. I watched this through about three series and realized there were more time for commercials than news. I realize it’s a for profit business but this is completely ridiculous. Turned off the TV.
Gambling  
pjcas18 : 3/1/2021 12:47 pm : link
should never have been illegal in the first place unless you want the government telling you what is morally right or wrong.

but back to the point, I dislike almost all pharmaceutical commercials, but at least the psoriasis one is relevant.

the guy is comfortable with his shirt off because his psoriasis isn't showing.

I also had no clue before those commercials how many people suffered from psoriasis (over 125 million people world wide or 2 - 3% of the population).

still shitty commercial as are more of the pharma ones (with their comically long lists of side effects).

I agree that gambling (and pot and other things) shouldn't be illegal. The commercials are still annoying AF.

And agreed about the pharma ads. I rarely even know what the drugs treat by the end of them
Why are pharmaceuticals even advertised?  
montanagiant : 3/1/2021 1:18 pm : link
They have to be prescribed by a Dr so what is the point of advertising them outside that segment? Think of the savings for these medicines if they didn't advertise
I'm watching a Jardiance commercial right now  
cjac : 3/1/2021 1:41 pm : link
and its telling me that if you take Jardiance you can get an infection on your taint, and it can kill you.

Can you imagine if you died from having an infection between your asshole and balls, AND it was because you were taking something so that somehthing else didnt kill you?

man that would suck

Nothing is worse than the Liberty Mutual EMU commercial. Nothing.

I can't get to the remote fast enough. Do they know they are losing business with that awful campaign ?

They're trying to emulate Geico's commercials, which is bad enough, but theirs are even so much worse than Geico's.

The number of insurance commercials  
PA Aggie : 3/1/2021 11:06 pm : link
I am amazed at the quantity of insurance companies, and the number of commercials that are aired. Progressive, The General, Geico, Liberty, Farmer's...they all have a character, real or inanimate, to get you to remember them.

I have radio, RadioPup, terrestrial, or other, on a lot during the work day, and I know radio ads are cheap, but to hear the same commercials 3-4 times per hour?! Geez! I would love to find out how much these companies spend on ads. It would really show how lucrative insurance is...and what mandatory BS it is.
Every pharma commercial  
Beezer : 3/2/2021 7:16 am : link
is intriguing. As in annoying. But also, isn’t it interesting that X number of years ago there was no such level of marketing for every malady - real or created? Also, those side affects for so many of these drugs. Jesus. They’re sometimes worse than the illness they’re intended to cure!

djm : 3/2/2021 2:31 pm : link
but angry isn't really the right word. Disgusted is more like it.

Gambling should be legal. So should drugs. But they shouldn't be rammed down people's throats 24/7. These gambling sites and marketing pitches are evil. Nothing short.

They are literally sucking people in and creating addicts. I can handle that, but many cannot and honestly, I hear that shit calling me all the time now. I want to login and bet shit I would never care about betting before. Here's 5 bucks for your birthday--on us...get addicted. Fuck those scumbags.

See you all in 5 years when the apologies and what went wrong and oh god now we need to fix this shit is rampant. Just wait and see.

The one that makes me want to chuck shit at the TV over  
Beezer : 3/2/2021 4:17 pm : link
is the entitled chick in her Audi Quattro questioning the guy who KNOWS there is LITERALLY no road up ahead.

So she says, "OK, then I'll just find my own road."

I want him to move his back hoe and let her on through, then watch her plunge to her death as the road ends.

Yeah ... having a bad day. LOL

Nobody else wants to rub his belly?
