Really hate the Fage commercial where the mom is off on a yogurt-fueled journey into lala land (with opera soundtrack) before being brought back by her kid yelling "Mom! Mom!".
I swear it's like all the insurance companies are trying to "out stupid" themselves in commercials. It's like they did a study and found out that the more stupid a commercial is, the more a viewer remembers their product or some ****.
This commercial pisses me off especially:
"And suddenly his body turns into a basketball"
But he's HOLDING a basketball.. and his body just disappears. So his body DOESN'T turn into a basketball because then there would be TWO basketballs! Yet there's only ONE basketball after he's gone!
Sabrina Ionescu's listed height is 5'11. Chris Paul is 6'.
BUT in the commercial it looks like Chris is 3~ inches taller than her.. so I must ask, what gives!? Is he wearing platform shoes or something??? I find this very peculiar as you don't see Chris' shoes during the commercial.
The stupid Taco Bell commercial with all the parliamentary whigs sitting around giving their suggestion on how to compose a chicken sandwich, until all havoc breaks loose.
And then two hip young whigs sit down, who somehow bought exactly 3 naked chicken chalupas between the two of them. Dumb! The way she says "we have an extra one.", combined with expression is to suggest, "why is this room full of people so flustered?? There is ONE more item!!"

The MassMutual commercials are just blah - neither good nor bad. But I can't figure out why someone would call them "tone deaf" or "cringe worthy".
In these current times, someone somewhere will always find a reason to be offended. I too have no idea what tone these ads would be deaf to - I actually think they are pretty good.
You guys are crazy those ads are horrible. The acting is horrible and they are 100% not funny. If you find them funny then I don't know what to say. And the whole "lol my kids suck at sports and are basically morons" I guess appeals to some segment of parents, but seems like an odd way to sell investment products... but I guess to each his own.
I think they're kind of refreshing seeing parents being realistic about their kids instead of the usual "my kids are all brillant". The second one could be an SNL skit. Funny too how they don't budge when their daughter is being swarmed by bees.
The acting is bad and the baseball one is much worse than the other one. I thought the kid’s face that was coloring in the sprinklers was funny but nothing else was really funny about them. They’re just sort of meh.
