Commercials that I hate

Look, I get that this is a super nit to pick, but I want to be clear: Dolphins do, in fact, sleep. They are some of the most amazing sleepers in the animal kingdom. Your sources are wrong, nerd.

Two entries:

On YouTube TV, they will often have commercial break "zen moments" where it's ambient noise of a beach, or fireplace crackling, or babbling brook etc. It's a nice break from the endless insurance and drug ads. I like that. BUT. A large state-wide injury lawyer has his own YouTubeTV zen ads...just for SC YTTV subscribers. Lame.

Next, Apple Airpods 2 commercial that has a hearing aid feature. The poor dude can't hear his daughter play her newly Christmas-gifted guitar. Not until he puts in his Airpods, can he hear her play a Crosby, Stills, and Nash song. Bruv, why don't you have legit hearing aids?

Otherwise, completely agree that the ads suck and Wax Figure Guy is the new gold standard for that.

and I noticed that they now have variants of the Wax Figure Guy. One has him melting, one has a frisbee getting stuck to him, and I think there's one other one.

"BK meeeeeelt"

Even from a songwriting perspective it's an affront, atonal performance notwithstanding.

Yeah, that one is straight from the devil's bowels.

The gimmick of those BK commercials is the bad singing, but they went beyond any remotely acceptable boundaries with this one.

Yep, I say it every time they play it. Which is almost every other commercial these days.

Those melts are good for what they are, tho.

I didn't take you for a BK patron.

If I get a fast food burger I would prefer it be BK.*

Wendy's for chicken sandwiches.

Exactly that. They're really pushing beyond the boundaries of what is acceptable "bad." I shudder to think of what they come up with next to top that.
