The commercial for little cutie oranges. The little kid is in the cart screaming as he is pushed past the oranges in the grocery store and then the dad piles boxes of oranges in the cart. That screaming makes my blood pressure go up

I cannot stand those commercials! "Hey kids, if you act like a complete monster, your parents will bend to your will!"

My guess is those obnoxious commercials were written by someone who's upbringing included a lot of the phrases; "Of course sweetie" or, "Momma and Daddy will make it all better". and "That's OK I'll/we'll buy you a nicer/better/bigger/more expensive one."
And these lines were likely spoken throughout the child's life up to, and probably including, adulthood.

The commercials I hate the most are the ones that do not show other family members besides MOM doing the cleaning, cooking, baking ie Where are the tweens, teens, and ahem... MEN?

HATE this one. I literally spat out my cereal in disbelief when I saw it the first time.

Have you seen the 'behind the scenes'??

Love it! Just too darn cute!

Any of the ASPCA commercials. Stop showing those sad faces. I love animals, and have adopted rescue animals, but I have no more room for animals in my house, and I could drain my bank account making donations, and still, sadly, animals would be suffering.

I'm right there with you on that one. Plus, my pug baby is sooo spoiled, he would never get over me bringing another animal home.

The Kentucky Fried Chicken commercials, ALL of them, creep me out and I will turn the channel.

One of the Portland Oregon TV stations had a commercial for a car dealerships that had 2 of the Blazer basketball players singing. They had so many complaints that they muted the singing and ran a banner across the bottom. Still had complaints and had to remove the commercial completely.

I hate any Progressive commercial with Flo in it.

And how about all the prescription drug commercials that list the most hideous side effects? Suicidal thoughts, seizures, hallucinations, etc. Yeah, sign me up for that!

Ok, this one made me laugh..

It is baseball season, so all erectile dysfunction ads have skyrocketed to the top of my list.

I hate that U of Phoenix one too... "A degree is a degree", my butt. Try getting hired with that degree when there are other applicants with degrees from reputable schools.

The new In & Out Burger one is pretty bad too. Right up there with the old GoDaddy commercials for its level of inappropriate-for-basic-cable sexuality in pursuit of selling something that couldn't be less sexy. But I won't link that one, so I'll leave you with this one which I didn't even believe was real when I first saw it.

College the old fashioned way is not really the best option for working adults, parents, current military, or former military making the transition to civilian life, etc. While some online schools are degree mills, so are some traditional institutions. I hope one day we get away from the very overpriced in person only, if you want to be taken seriously, model we have today.

There's good and bad with online degrees. But U of Phoenix exemplifies the bad. A quick look at their online cost calculator puts the cost of a bachelors (tuition/fees & books only) at just short of $70K. I did my second associates and part of my bachelors online via classes from respected brick-and-mortar schools in my area, so I totally get the value of online classes - right now, I'm juggling 12 credit hours and two internships in my next-to-last semester and there's no way I could be doing that if the classes were in-person. But U of Phx is selling a higher priced degree than finding an online program from a local college or online-based non-profit university, and it is less useful in the job market because of their limited accreditation and dubious reputation.

You know, the first time I saw it was in the morning (admittedly NOT a morning person) and all I could think of was how upset I would have been watching it during my infertility days.

That being said, I can now see that it IS so ridiculous that it is funny.

You know what it is about the Phoenix College commercial. The director told every to have some smog annoying look on their face. I am really glad that I would not be in a classroom with those people.

On brighter side I love the Alec Baldwin commercials with that other dude.

 

[okeydokey]

Must be because YOU don't have a brain.







Idiots!

Who are idiots? My Directors? Or the people who get degrees from unaccredited degree mills?

Oh, yeah!!! I guess I hate those so much I totally forgot about them. They are really gross.

The phone commercial with Jason Statham playing all the parts is my favorite. Of course I would like him in anything. I also love the Geico commercial with mom calling about the squirrels in the attic. Now everytime I see an action movie I always seem to say "The squirrels are in the attic again."

The ED commercials are annoying and so are the ones that tell you to have a happy period. I never in my life had a "happy"one.

Idiots= the ad agency that produced the commercial and the people that approved and paid for it.

I feel sorry for those that pay for these 'degrees' because I think they're being scammed while trying to improve their lives.

Ha! When I posted the Cookie Monster commercial I like, I couldn't think of the other ad that makes me chuckle. It was bugging me all night! That's the one!!

But what they are trying to sell is that an online diploma is just the same as a real one, and that simply isn't true.

That may be what they are trying to sell, but what I get out of it is seeing examples of people trying very hard to keep up with day to day, get any form of education they can manage or afford, and be treated as though they are worth the company wage. I am probably missing the point of what they are trying to sell. I hope I am getting more out of it than they are offering/selling.

That Belsomra sleeping pill commercial with the creepy cat. Completely skeeves me out. I would take the U of P commercial over that one any day.

Any commercial with a dead child. There are several.

There is another one that I think is for underage drinking with a daughter in a coffin. I will post it later if I find it.
