To the points above, I was in the car during the Loyola/Michigan game and it was driving me nuts.
I listened to both games on the westwood 1 broadcast and I was very confused by the horn the entire time. It took about a quarter of the Loyola game to figure out what was going on. i thought it might have been a car alarm in the neighborhood

The commercial with the hipsters in the Subaru that 'get on the trail' by driving around a blind homeless guy all day.
I was just hopping into the thread to mention this commercial. Now I don't have to. :thumb:

To add to the list... the you can’t judge a book by its cover commercials. The other day it came on for the 17th time and I realized that I didn’t have a clue what they were even advertising.
This. So much this. Not only is it aural AIDS, I have no idea wtf it's even advertising...

The Alfa Romeo ad with the hideous cover of Wicked Game.

this new trend of interrupting in commercials.

The sprint guy with the Sprintern (another stupid name, BTW), and now they have some bratty kid talking about Xfinity. I want somebody to yell "Can I finish my thought without you interrupting me?" at the end of the commercial, but I know it will never happen.
Is the Xfinity commercial the one with the "Stranger Things" kid? The Xfinity/Dish/Fios commercials all blend together for me.

I think it's a different commercial, but I could be wrong. You're right, all of Xfinity's stuff tends to blend together for me.

The radio ads for Botkin Family Wealth Management where they're all relating their freaking life stories. Why the eff do I need to know that my financial advisor wasn't sure what to do with his life after getting out of the Marines or other such stuff? Does that make him better at picking stocks? No? Well then you seem to have mistaken me for someone who gives a crap.

Deserve what? The likely mid-six figure payday he got for licensing the song?

the split-screen commercials during the playoff games that they chuck up during stops in play which are not otherwise tv timeouts. The ones i've seen so far are Verizon and i want to murder the brain of that millenial spokespuke.

Srsly, enough commercials.

Dear Jägermeister: Maybe don't lean so hard on your product's innate Germanness if your call to action is 'be the master'.

I'll admit I laughed at this one, but it was more because of the awkward reaction after seeing it.

"Ummm... ok. Everyone is cool with this dude creeping into this guy's house, basically walking in on his wife and giving the ok signal... nobody is saying anything? Nobody? So we're good with this?"

It's very rare that I say 'there should be a law' but that's one thing that provokes it every time. If I can't have red/blue lights on my car radio stations shouldn't be able to play realistic sirens.
please expand this list to include doorbells, or at least make the doorbell somewhat muted within the commercial. I forget which commercial I was watching, but the tone of the bell was the exact tone of mine.

Nothing like being a little weirded out because of wondering who could possibly be ringing my doorbell at almost 11 at night.

The VW ads with the "we're sorry the US didn't make the World Cup" meme are seriously annoying.

I've seen two different posts on FB from people saying how annoying and repetitive the VW commercials are.

"World Cup of what?"
"Futbol"
"Football doesn't have a World Cup."
"No, futbol."
"What?"
"Ugh, soccer!"
"Oh. Who cares? Buy some deodorant."
