Re: The TV commercial that drives me creezy...
I agree that every ad mentioned in this thread is annoying but y'all must not get the twenty ads an hour from the same lawyer wanting to sue someone and get you a hundred thousand dollars like we get here. Those are my most annoying.

Did that recently enter public domain? Seems like I've heard it a lot lately...Dove chocolate commercial, too?

They are measuring things including a 'puddle' of fabric. Not only did they just throw the tape measure over the fabric haphazardly but then they go to cut it without smoothing it out first. That would create such a disaster and waste of fabric. And it looks like a pretty expensive piece of fabric!
I know, probably doesn't bother anyone else.
Not quite as bad as a Quilted Northern TP ad a ways back where the cartoon ladies are 'quilting' the TP with knitting needles.

Re: The TV commercial that drives me creezy...
From Wiki:
"Non, je ne regrette rien" (French pronunciation: [nɔ̃ ʒə nə ʁəɡʁɛt ʁjɛ̃], meaning "No, I do not regret anything") is a French song composed by Charles Dumont, with lyrics by Michel Vaucaire. It was written in 1956, and is best known through Édith Piaf's 1960 recording, which spent seven weeks atop the French Singles & Airplay Reviews chart
Édith Piaf's recording has been used in numerous television commercials. In the United States, the recording provided the soundtrack for a Cadillac commercial (2015), Dove Chocolate (2016),[citation needed] and Allstate Insurance (2020).[9]

But as much as that one annoys me, it's nothing compared to those unbearable Liberty Mutual ads...every single one of them drives me bananas, and the most recent one somehow manages to raise the bar of obnoxiousness even higher..the one where the one kid is overjoyed to get Liberty Mutual insurance for Christmas, while his brother is pissed because he "only" got a bike.
It's January 13th, folks. Pull this damn commercial.

Re: The TV commercial that drives me creezy...
There is a personal injury attorney in Atlanta named Ken Nugent who has become famous for a series of commercials in which he says, "One call ... that's all." He's now a major sponsor of Braves and Falcons games so he's clearly doing well. During the Senate elections, his commercials got bumped for all the political ads, but he's now back and his latest commercial is actually pretty good:

Re: The TV commercial that drives me creezy...
More of a general observation, but anytime a commercial (or movie) features turning on all the outdoor Christmas lights, it's always done by connecting two extension cords in the middle of the sidewalk. Everyone should put all their lights on one circuit.

Re: The TV commercial that drives me creezy...
I just noticed the Allstate Insurance commercials have "Not available in some states" in fine print at their end.

Re: The TV commercial that drives me creezy...
Most insurance companies aren't admitted in all 50 states. New York in particular has some very restrictive laws which require a company to include particular provisions in its policies in all states in which it is licensed. As a result, major insurers establish separate New York subsidiaries that do business in that state only. Allstate has an Allstate New Jersey Life Insurance Company, an Allstate New Jersey Property and Casualty Company, and an Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York.

Re: The TV commercial that drives me creezy...
I hate any commercial that tends to treat older people (of which I'm one) as if they are incompetent when it comes to technology. I also loathe those Progressive commercials, the tagline of which is "We can't stop you from becoming your parents but...".

I liked that one a lot. It is getting old now, though.
My current favorite is the Tag Team, Scoop There It Is. Very well done and fun to watch.

There's another dude who looks like the real life embodiment of mopey lawyer Foggy Nelson from the original Daredevil comics and sounds like old time comedian and original voice of Frosty The Snowman Jackie Vernon. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence in his potential courtroom prowess.

But I will say the one I hate the most is Tom Selleck saying "its not my 1st rodeo".
Yeah bud, you'll say whatever they pay you to say, & its not a rodeo.
Our neighbor in Ohio had their house taken away by the reverse mortgage people, so its a real sore point with me.

Re: The TV commercial that drives me creezy...
These large-scale ambulance chasers don't want to go into the courtroom. They have automated the process as much as possible and the goal is to build up and establish "provable" expenses and get a quick settlement.T_Bone0806 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 11:12 amDoesn't exactly inspire confidence in his potential courtroom prowess.
One notable exception is Morgan & Morgan ("For the People"). They are ambulance chasers but they have (or had when I was covering trials) one really top-notch trial attorney who they sent in to actually try cases. I tried to get a trial of his in Georgia but it kept getting continued until after I left the company.

Re: The TV commercial that drives me creezy...
Since I seem to be on a rant roll, how about this?
A very disturbing trend as of late..at least on our local stations, has been to double book a spot...that is, show the exact same commercial at the beginning and the end of a single commercial break. It seems that this only holds true for local commercials, so I don't know if this is just an upstate New York thing or not, but I am not amused.
