Any commercial that uses actors that I've seen in TV shows or movies who are pretending to be regular, every day people tilts the hell out of me. Bank of America is the biggest culprit. They have those commercials where all these supposedly regular people are out shopping, using their credit cards, and talking about how they're getting cash back. Yet in every commercial, I see two or three people that I've seen elsewhere, not just in commercials.

I understand almost every commercial features actors instead of real customers, but at least use people who either I don't absolutely KNOW are actors if you are trying to make them seem like every day people.

The Frosted Flakes commercial when the dad busts his daughters ass in basketball and then ends up sharing the last quarter bowl with her. The fist bump at the end puts it over the top for me.

Like I said last time I made two consecutive free throws, "Wow, that's a lot more than I expected!"

The one with the family that forgets grandma in the other car, and the stupid mom sees her on her surveillance app or whatever dumb **** the commercial is selling, and exclaims, "grams!"

The way she says "grams!" makes me so goddamned angry

The Captain Morgan commercial where the two emasculated friends tunnel out of their own homes to go to a hipster concert. How did their wives not notice them tunneling in the first place

Obviously the old spice one where the nerd folds a royal while hawks squawk at him, then after folding a hand he knows is unbeatable whispers "take care of my lady friend"

GTFO

Hard to believe that's an actual Kmart commercial. I guess they're desperate for attention.

I saw two yesterday that were pretty hate inducing.

A Dr. Pepper 10 commercial featuring some mountain man doing manly things out in the wilderness and how that soft drink is the manliest low calorie drink EVER:

And a Gillette razor/edger/trimmer/whatever commercial with women talking about how they like their men basically hairless:

Grunching again; not a commercial--the MLB.tv blank screen during every commercial break. That's right, 2 minutes of silence 25 times per game. I'm using Apple tv so flipping channels is inconvenient. It's like they're trying to turn the game into a funeral--I mean I'm already watching the METS, ffs!

Play some Tom & Jerry cartoons if nothing else, or highlights of other games, or just keep a feed of a camera on the field so we can watch the pitcher warm up or something.

"You get out of your luxury shower and dry off with your luxury towel, you put on your luxury suit and your luxury tie and leave your luxury house and get into your luxury car...... WHICH SUDDENLY MAKES EVERYTHING ELSE APPEAR ORDINARY."

**** YOU :SLKFJSLKFJSLFHGJFDJH|FDJHDJF

People like the guy in this commercial need to have axes thrown at them.

Commercial also fails at its direct purpose, his house seemed a lot more impressive than his car iyam. But, yeah, hilarious(ly awful) to directly appeal to the type of ******* who makes sure every independent ingredient in his morning routine is "luxurious."

The Met Life commercial where Charlie Brown and Lucy insist insurance premiums should be 5 cents a month.

WHAT A GREAT BUSINESS MODEL

And why is the boss soliciting their advice in the first place ?

OH THE PAINNNNN

To be honest, I had no idea Acura was supposed to be a luxury car. My main experience with them is listening to Ham on Rye wax poetic about how they last forever and how annoying it is to have female family members who foolishly went with cars they loved like Volkswagens and Audis which were really terrible cars compared to this ultra-dependable Acuras.

Also, it seemed to me the car in the commercial looked like a Civic. Is there anyone who's that much of a douche about everything luxury who'd drive that car?

I mean are there really that many 45 year old childless yuppies that see the guy in that commercial and think "yeah, I wanna be just like that guy." ??

I mean probably. But still, what an awful commercial. It's like they aren't the least bit ashamed that they're marketing to the most vapid consumer.
