Yeah it doesn't make sense what they're trying to do lol. If you want people to not like what you're trying to push against maybe don't make it into some fictional character. Especially something that looks like a vulnerable pet. I don't really care for the Mucinex commercials, but their portrayal of the germ character is better in showing them in a 'villainous' light.OMG I see this dinosaur commercial all the time! I know it’s supposed to represent asthma, but I end up feeling bad for it. There’s a similar one (not sure for what product) where the disease is represented by a big blue monster that acts like a dog. I felt bad for that one, too.
I don’t see Xyzal commercials anymore, but I hate them for a personal reason. The owl reminded me of Alfred Molina, so I thought he was hot.I got embarrassed every time it came on lol.

Off-topic BUT while it wasn’t a T-Rex, I wanted a Triceratops so bad as I kid. Those are literally my favorite dinosaur ever.
I remember getting mad when I found out T-Rexes ate them and that my handwriting was so illegible (in preschool) my teacher thought I said my fave was a Brontosaurus. I was so petty I remember going home and complaining about it lol.Another one I find rough I are those AI commercials for Gemini or whatever they are. People ask it way too many questions, like to interpret dreams, etc. Maybe it’s bc I’m uncomfortable with AI anyway, but those got annoying after a while.
-any sort of medication commercial, unless it’s that older commercial for jardiance. it’s so dumb, i sing along with it; “jardiance is really swell, it’s a little pill with a big story to tell.”
-probably not allowed to mention this here in detail so pardon the vagueness. has to do with in depth intimacy issues and it’s always during prime time TV for some reason. like are you serious??
medication commercials are always the worst, i love how they list out all the possible side effects like “this medication might cause depression, CANCER, hair loss, and you might also croak choking on a blood clot in your sleep
” all while the whole squad is dancing in the background, i love to see how unbothered they are.

Yeah those are always weird, but I get why they do it. They should just find another way to get the message across lol. They're just covering their base for that random 1 person who it might happen to so they can avoid lawsuits. People are dumb. A farmer sued a ladder company because he put his ladder against frozen manure. When it thawed out, the ladder and he slipped and fell. The story is he sued because the ladder didn't have a warning specifically about that. Even if it's not true, stupid people are stupid lol.medication commercials are always the worst, i love how they list out all the possible side effects like “this medication might cause depression, CANCER, hair loss, and you might also croak choking on a blood clot in your sleep

The commercial with the "are you having any fun" song to the tune of the chicken dance. It's gotten to the point where I'l go insane if I have to hear it again.

Gambling ads are the worst ones and shouldn't be on TV.

Well I just saw a commercial today I didn't think was real. I was watching how snickers bars are made. (Can't help it, love candy making of all sorts) and ofc a commercial interrupts.
I've tried to rid our food of glyphosate, buying organic and all. Might be just me, but I don't like that there seems to be so much of it in so many things here.
So I was super-surprised to see a "Stand up for glyphosate" commercial.
It urged me to contact my state and tell them i want to stand up for glyphosate - we need glyphosate to grow all of our food. Uhm, no. I don't even live in that state, but if i did, I'd say get that stuff outta the food haha.

This creepy AI photo/video editor ad I've seen online. Weirdos can make it look as if they're hugging (and kissing) their favorite celebrity or some random person. Like these were moving photos and they looked incredibly unnatural and downright disturbing.
"Cutting off/or photoshopping the head of your crush and putting it over a model not enough for ya? Then try our new totally not creepy editor."
I know this post was last month, but it reminded me of that commercial.

OMG, there's like one I seen with a lady and a dog. I don't know what the name of the brand. But the commercial was acting like one of those bachelor or bachelorette reality shows. It was really weird.

YES! That Bachelorette one was such a weird concept, to me at least.
I also find a lot of those Blue dog food commercials annoying. There’s one where this lady and her dog are FaceTiming her son and his dog. (“How’s my favorite grand dog?”) And then she asks what kind of dog food the dog eats, which is Purina or Beneful (?) but not Blue as it doesn’t have “all-natural” ingredients. Like, what kind of conversation is this?
There’s another Blue one where two ladies are leaving the pet store with their dogs and one bought Blue and the other a different brand. The lady with the different brand says “They’re pretty much the same.” But then when both read off the ingredients for each brand, the one dog tries to come home with the Blue lady, and his owner’s like “We’ll switch to Blue!”
I know giving your dog healthy food is important, but Blue is expensive. What if someone can’t afford it? Honestly, as long as the dog is eating decent food, I don’t see the issue.

Honestly, canned pet food has always confused me especially when it comes to the commercials “describing” what’s in it and how it tastes. But how do we actually know it tastes like what the ad says? It’s not like we can ask our cats or dogs. Do the pet food companies hire people to taste test the food? If so are they given a set wage or paid minimum wage?

I just searched it up. Apparently, they do just straight up hire people specifically trained to taste test food (keyword “taste”, they don’t actually consume it since that would be gross).
Funny you mention this! There's actually a doomsday prepper magazine. I had to look what kind of content it had inside and sure enough there was a spread on wet cat food. Some poor sap ate each one and described it's flavor and benefits. I guess like a situation where it's either that or go hungry. I mean yeah, I'd eat cat food if it got to that point in some apocalyptic scenario, but I hope they paid what I could only assume is an intern really well lol.
