On pretty much any GR area TV station.

I think it’s more that times have changed and advertisements for these types of products are considered (by many) to be more acceptable.

Agree with you on the Navage, btw.

I enjoy watching Pluto TV, especially "The Price Is Right: The Barker Era". CBS advertises the new Drew Carey TPIR channel on PlutoTV, using this promo consisting of a folksy, slow, high-pitched "oh oh oh it's a great new day" ukelele song with obnoxious and dramatic contestants with Drew acting like some savior. It certainly doesn't elicit the excitement that is The Price Is Right, and it makes even having the channel on in the background unbearable because that single ad comes on with every break.

Pluto TV's commercials repeat so much. I think I saw that commercial a few days ago watching the Carey version channel.

Hero. Mighty Patch pimple "patches"; there's no reason for these two to be the only spokespersons for the product.

They play both The Zit AND the person affected by The Zit.

Perfectly putrid.

Saw these while having lunch with a friend in Ludington this past weekend. I'm not sure which channel the restaurant was playing on its TVs, but it looked like some sports betting network and they played these commercials incessantly. Like every 5 minutes, during every break. The volume was muted, but it was still hate at first sight. I think these just pulled ahead of the Jardiance commercial as the worst of the year.
At first I thought it was one of those "colon polyp" PSAs from several years ago back. I swear the "polyp" costumes were virtually identical to the "pimple" costumes.
Any commercial with a talking part of the body is automatically terrible.

That Jardiance commercial gets so annoying after seeing it so many times. Now the actress is on a bus in the latest ad. Maybe they could lower the price if they didn't pay so many actors and extras.

I wonder if that sports betting network is one of those "FAST channels" that are available on Pluto TV and other services.

One I'm definitely sick of seeing is the recent Buffalo Wild Wings spot with the ravaging boxing-out buffalo; it's seemingly playing every break during the March Madness games. This despite the subtle MSU Spartan presence. "LET'S GO SPORTS BAR!" Gawd! :x

Also, the number of commercial breaks in March Madness is in itself annoying. You'd think with games on four networks one could escape the ads by switching channels, but too often...noooo. :rolleyes It's a conspiracy, I tell ya! 8o

Enough with the damn 'whole body deodorant' ads. Any of 'em.

“Wanna know a secret? More than just my armpits stink...” Yeah. You stink "EVVVerywhere..."

Be certain that these companies are making a mint on tools with low self-esteem who are convinced that using more of what was already an over-priced commodity, in more places, will somehow make them whole. It needs to end.

Most annoying radio ad.

There is a lot of competition for the title such as Ox Car Care, Better Help, Kars 4 Kids.

But, hands down, the winner is California Psychics. I have to turn the radio off every time.
