Anything loud, jarring and repeated endlessly makes me hate whatever product they are pushing, especially on podcasts when it’s right in my ears.
There is one commercial that I adore and will sprint to catch all of it if DH is watching and I’m occupied elsewhere - the Applebee’s one with a current C&W tune and clips of people dancing. Honestly, it’s just so freaking happy and upbeat.
For most of my life, a dinner at a restaurant was indeed, a big deal.

Have not seen an ad on Youtube for years.
Annoying ads- Extended Auto Warranty plans and Medicare Advantage plans.

Also annoying US mail.
I recently got a HELOC, now I'm receiving offers for mortgage protection insurance (life insurance) I'm stuffing the return envelopes with Extended Auto Warranty plan flyers and others with Medicare Advantage Plan flyers.

Geez, I got two more mortgage protection offers today.
Any commercial for a drug that shows families having a picnic in the park, seniors walking on the beach, young couples laughing and holding hands . . . all while the narrator describes the potential side effects of the product (severe stomach upset, trouble breathing/swallowing, dementia, death, do not take if you are allergic, if symptoms persist consult your doctor, etc.) . . . and then a close on happy smiles all around.
We get offers all the time to refinance our nonexistent mortgage.
These things are just blanket-mailed. I'm sure everyone in our zip code got the same mailing.
All Medicare Advantage Adds featuring has beens.

On tip I heard about the drug TV commercials is to close your eyes while listening to the commercial. It's an entirely different experience when you do that.
I agree. These days, the TV is bombarded with Medicare advs.
That is weird. These companies only do this for a few months the then give up when it is realised peeps do not respond to these adverts.
They give up after the open enrollment period ends in December.
