Worst TV commercials of 2015

[Lone Clone]

These would have to be national ads.

I think I'd probably go with the Liberty Mutual insurance ads, and within that subset, with the girl who named her POS car "Brad." But they're all pretty bad.

Second place would be the Viagra commercials that feature really, really stupid men. These actually started last year, I think. The classic is the guy who's towing a trailer with a couple of draft horses. First, he drives into the only wet spot visible in a 100-mile radius. Then he fails to put his pickup into four-wheel drive. I do not know why this guy can't get it up, because there ain't any blood going to his brain.

Those Liberty Mutual commercials are an insult to anyone with more than a room temperature I.Q.

I realize this c@%$ is an actress, but how has she not been punched in the face yet for being ugly, and an uber condescending biotch?

I make great use of my remote control so I can't tell you anything about commercials.

The Mute button was invented to avoid listening to TV
commercials.

I thought it was invented so you could talk to the telemarketer who phones you during your favorite program.

My nominee is the woman who is "down with Crestor". She could maybe lose 75 lbs first to lower her cholesterol? Also it's ruined 'Low Rider' for me as a song.

 

[JRHawk2003]

Anything with Flo or Jan from Toyota

Dum, Dum, Dum...


Like nails on a chalkboard.

It also implies the guy has frequent accidents (within every 6 months) so he doesn't get claim free checks.

GMC - "A pitcher that paints the corners is known as a Rembrandt." Umm, NO.

Any Ford commercial with that stupid "Fight song" playing.

The Allstate Bonus Check commercial is the stupidest ever. Trying to put a man in his place, she's bragging about being able to drive a whole six months without having an accident. No wonder he doesn't respond. I couldn't answer either - unless it was to bust out laughing.

 

[Viv_Savage]

Don't have cable, but online radio is infested with progressive commercials that will make you envy the deaf.

 

[bagdropper]

Liberty Mutual ad with the dumb broad that mentions torque ratios. I'd like someone to explain what the hell a torque ratio is.

I can see it now...women across the nation, googling it when searching for a car, looking it up in the specs online.

 

[pepsicock]

 

[theiacowtipper]

Any commercial involving Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, et al.

 

[SchmittyHawks32]

Nationwide's dead kid Super Bowl ad, although we did get some pretty good memes out of the deal.

 

[Packer54]

KFC commercial.....any of them

 

[TJ8869]

The Peter Pan Geico commercial is absolutely awful.

 

[TJ8869]

Anything with Flo or Jan from Toyota

I'm one of a very small group of posters here who don't mind Flo. The commercials are silly and pointless, and that's sort of the point. Some of them are actually kind of funny. If "sprinkles are for winners" or "where is your husband?" didn't make you laugh then you have no soul.

Yep. Don't spend your 7 dollars all in one place, bitch.

Probably because he hit something swerving to dodge her stupid ass.

sporting events have been ruined by the Draft King and Fan Duel commercials

I wish I could watch playoff baseball with my teenage daughters without seeing commercials about erectile dysfunction at literally every break.

Yes, it is. And Geico generally has some of the best commercials on TV, has had for years.

I absolutely hated Flo when she first appeared, but I actually have come to like her. She's not a bad actress and they've had some funny commercials.

typically, the Geico ads start out clever and amusing but overstay their welcome.

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

Car commercials really start to annoy me this time of year. Instead of just talking about how they have a good quality car, now it's talked about like getting a new car is a great Christmas gift for someone, usually one's spouse.

Maybe it's just cause I'm a poor but who the heck has the kind of money to just run out and surprise their spouse with a new Lexus? Don't know about you guys but my wife and I we have you know discussions before we go and spend $40,000.

Also Jewelry commercials annoy me too. There is one that says in the commercial that it is "engagement season" . . . I know there is a wedding season but I wasn't aware there was an "engagement season". I asked my wife to marry me in March of '09 . . . Did I screw it up and ask her out of season?

 

[KitingHigh]

Flo

I will never even consider using Progressive due to those commercials.

One I just thought of. Chevy has had a recent campaign with several different ad's, all pimping all the fancy gizmos they've added to the line recently.

One in particular mentioned the safety stop thing they're putting in for cars - the device that stops a vehicle before rear-ending someone.

I remember distinctly one of the women in the commercial spouting "I need that".

Think about that a second...we've invented a device that apparently cures stupid unattentive driving. Notice those commercials nowadays pimping these devices NEVER have men saying "I need that".

Seriously, that bothers you?

Agreed, all of this guys' commercials are condescending, misleading, and sometimes misogynist. Hate em.

your teenage daughters are probably exposed to much more than what an erectile dysfunction commericial exposes them to at school and on social media on a daily basis.

 

[pablow]

Allstate mayhem guy. I'd like to kill him with my bare hands.

Flo is awful too.

Finally, Jennifer Garner - Capital One. She and Ben Affleck belong together - both so overrated.

Finally, Jennifer Garner - Capital One. She and Ben Affleck belong together - both so overrated.

Have you noticed the dresses she's rocking don't seem to fit her very well? Like she has a massive girdle-like garment underneath it to hold a belly roll in?

I bet it takes a lot of work nowadays to get her to look like she does in those commercials. Aging and squeezing out Ben's puppies appears to have taken a toll on her body.

Wood I? Of course...but still.
