<p>I’m really enjoying the responses on this thread. I guess there are not enough Don Drapers in the world :)</p>
<p>“I hate all the commercials that depict men as the clown of the household,…”</p>
<p>Totally agree! Can’t stand the commercial in which the dad uses an RC helicopter to dump a can of pasta sauce on the kids’ dining plates, and then crashes the toy chopper into the china cabinet! It is so stupid that I do not even remember what they were trying to advertise…</p>
<p>Regarding volume, help is on the way:</p>
<p>[Obama</a> signs law to limit volume of TV commercials](<a href=“http://washingtonscene.thehill.com/in-the-know/36-news/7521-obama-signs-law-limiting-volume-of-tv-commercials]Obama”>http://washingtonscene.thehill.com/in-the-know/36-news/7521-obama-signs-law-limiting-volume-of-tv-commercials)</p>
<p>I can’t stand the commercial Robert Wagner does for reverse mortgages. Now they’ve got Fred Thompson doing it, too.</p>
<p>But— don’t you totally love the “Peggy” commercials for the credit card company that gives a cash back discount. I think those are just terrific!!</p>
<p>^^^^TOTALLY! “He want cash!!! HAHAHAHAHA”</p>
<p>Anybody notice how men are always idiots in commercials?</p>
<p>I am creeped out whenever they show the Pediacare Dancing Queen commercial with the little girl dancing like an adult. I don’t know why it bothers me.</p>
<p>Where have I been? I haven’t seen most of these commercials. In general, I hate any commercials made by the actual store owners because they are too cheap to hire an ad agency. Horrible. Bob’s Furniture is a perfect example. Gross!</p>
<p>The loud noise issue is another reason to mute them. My H told me that congress recently passed a bill prohibiting the sound increase of commercials. Can’t wait for that to go into effect.</p>
<p>I can’t stand the Beggin’ Strips either. NONE of my dogs will ever get them. I think that’s Gilbert Godfrey and I can’t stand his AFLAC commercials, either - although they’re gone forever now!</p>
<p>I have to laugh at the lawyer commercials (and I am a lawyer) that say :“If you or a loved one have died…” In my office, we joke about all the calls that come from Heaven or below to that hotline.</p>
<p>I can’t stand Robert Wagner in anything (although it was inspired casting to make him Tony’s dad on NCIS).</p>
<p>I also hate those insurance commercials about “for pennies a day” and “My mom’s been buried for 24 hours and I already have her check…”</p>
<p>I do love the “Peggy” commercials and I really like the Capitol One commercials with the Vikings. In the most recent, the Vikings go to Vegas and at “Caesar’s Palace” they go to the information desk and ask if “Caesar is at home?” I hate the company and wouldn’t use their card if they gave me one, but the commercials are funny.</p>
<p>My family’s all-time favorite is the credit rating one where the guy sings about working at the Renaissance Fair. The reason it’s our favorite is that my son actually met his gf at one of those fairs.</p>
<p>I’m starting to get fed up with the gecko. The English accent is his only redeeming feature. </p>
<p>Peggy commercials are funny.</p>
<p>Also can’t stand “the most interesting man in the world.” If that was the most interesting man they could find, it’s sure no enticement to buy the beer. They should have cast the Old Spice guy!</p>
<p>Hate the chaos guy, too.</p>
<p>Is the chaos guy the one for the insurance company, whose name I cannot remember?</p>
<p>One of my pasttimes is to watch prime time TV at night and count all the car commercials. Every car commercial I’ve ever seen has been exactly like every other car commercial I’ve ever seen. They are completely indistinguishable.</p>
<p>Who buys a car based on a commercial??</p>
<p>The car commercial during the Super Bowl featuring the little boy dressed as Darth Vader was very entertaining - but I couldn’t tell you which car they were advertising.</p>
<p>Exactly. In which case, it was a waste of money.</p>
<p>When will the law to lower the volume of commercials be in effect?</p>
<p>And not a moment too soon.</p>
