Ads and marketing are omnipresent, every site you go to wants your personal data so they can sell it to advertisers, all to the point that many of us are simply ad-blind. However, sometimes marketers find ways to be so annoying that people can’t just look away.
The “Commercials I Hate” internet group is a place for people to gather and share examples of ads they absolutely can’t stand. We’ve gathered some of the most popular posts from it, so get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share ones you particularly dislike.
#1 What If The Trivago Guys Teeth Get Bigger Every New Commercial

shoobe01:
I think they're trying this. This last version of it with three people around a table in a restaurant or something has super mega teeth football guy paired with another pro"trivago guy with only slightly less alarming teeth, and the beardy overweight guy that they are mocking for not doing the trivago thing pointedly does not have lots of gigantic white teeth. I guess some insane executive over there thinks that giant white teeth equals successful?

#2 Who Else Is Sick Of All These Celebrities Pushing Game Apps On Us?!

Like, they really waste their time playing these useless games 🙄. We know they're only hawking these apps because they're getting paid truckloads to do these annoying ads. Really cheapens them. I've seen some that you know are loaded with money do these commercials, and I'm like, "really"?
stigma_wizard:
This should speak to the obscene amount of money they pull in with their shovelware "game", mostly from children. It needs to be regulated.

#4 I Refuse To Eat Anywhere That Advertises With An "Influencer" Eating In Their Car

Former_Specific_7161: 'Hey guys, I'm partnering with this giant multibillion dollar company to just casually try out their new 'product' in my car here.' Yeah, I absolutely hate these stupid ads with a passion.
Ionlyusereddit4help:
I'm influenced, just not in the way they want me to be

"Influencer." My God, how far we have fallen.

#5 Johnny Depp Strumming A Guitar In The Desert For Dior. Irritates Soooo Much

Taminella_Grinderfal:
All fragrance commercials are ridiculous. Just describe the scent notes or something. Because I have no idea what “Charlize Theron in an opulent mansion climbing a silk bedsheet to the roof” is supposed to smell like.
Agitated-Tie-8255:
He’s stuck in the pseudo-rockstar/modern-day jack sparrow vibe.

#7 I Hate These So Much

ActionCalhoun:
It’s weird that they decided to use two guys that were in a big sitcom that ended fifteen years ago
c0ugarFanta-C:
I don't like looking at Zach Braff's face. It's not an aging thing. Something is off about his face. I don't know what procedures he's had done, but it's not great.

#8 Hey Progressive, It’s Really Time To Pack It Up. I Can’t Look At Her Anymore

HolyShirtsnPantsss:
The whole crew gotta go. That graduation one is rough
muterabbit84:
I’ve never understood why they all wear aprons. It’s insurance they’re selling, not food.
Significant-Tear7260:
Her and every other person in these commercials. I have to mute the woman giving the graduation speech immediately.

#9 I'm Already Sick Of Seeing Tom Brady's Gross Face In His New Pizza Hut Commercials

pithynotpithy:
Tom Brady probably hasn't even considered eating a pizza in 2 decades. why tf would you use him as your spokesperson for junk food. He famously wouldn't even eat strawberries - you think he's chowing down on a cheese-stuffed?

#10 I Never Ever Thought I Would Say This, But I’m Kinda Getting Sick Of Snoop Dogg

oracleoflove:
He most definitely sold out to the corporate overlords.
ZyxDarkshine:
He did a commercial for one of those mobile phone bingo games that claim to pay out real money. It probably took 20 minutes from “Hello Mr. Snoop Dogg, I represent…” and when they finished the shoot. Saw the ad for about a week, then it disappeared. Snoop will say just about anything for a check, and not just corporate overlords.

#11 This Guy’s Liberty Bibbity Babbling Is Beyond Annoying As Hell

My only question is: What does that even mean. Ugh.

Only insurance guy I can stand is Mayhem. And that’s because of Dean Winters’ comedic timing.

Would never buy their insurance!

#13 Amazon: “My Whole Personality Is That I Hate My Kids”

Mountain-jew87:
Amazon cheap jerk running the same commercial 2 years so bozos can buy his wife more surgery
Necessary_Milk_5124:
I hate any commercial that has that snark about bratty kids. The one where the dad is sick in a hotel and mom has to take her two demons to the pool solo. Like, hey maybe your kids are brats because you suck as parents.

#14 "The Close Talker" - Ads With People Leaning Into The Camera

Tim-in-CA:
It’s the TikTokification of advertising. It’s gross to see people shoveling food into their pie-holes
Classic-Exchange-511:
Any ad that involves a "social media influencer" telling me about something they found is an immediate no from me and I'll refuse to ever purchase it. I like hot chicken but I'll never go to Dave's hot.chicken because of those stupid commercials

#16 Does Chipotle Really Think This Makes Me Want To Eat Their Food?

ILikeToParty86:
I loathe this ad and almost posted the exact same screenshot to show how absolutely disgusting this is
Sufficient_Stop8381:
It really makes me loathe influencer culture more. To the extent many commercials are made to look like influencer- created ads when you can tell it’s not. Ugh.
chiefWahoooMcDaniels:
People shoveling the biggest bites of food physically possible into their mouths as messily as possible while eating as loudly as possible is popular on TikTok right now. I will never understand it. It's genuinely nauseating. Nothing about watching someone eat like a literal toddler is appetizing. It's disgusting. I cannot wait for this trend to disappear.

#19 The Most Cringe-Worthy Thing Billy Bob Has Ever Done. The Movie Industry Must Really Be Hurting

I would never have thought Billy Bob Thornton would be doing phone commercials. Even worse when he's fed horrible lines like, "Open a can of whoop-up". How the mighty have fallen.
stringrandom:
I feel like Billy Bob and Walton Goggins either have a bet with each other or both lost a serious bet to someone else and this is their punishment.
Dgolana:
I think Hollywood is hurting and badly. The gravy train with biscuit wheels has left the station. I've noticed that the stigma that was attached to ad work has largely vanished. A lot of top-name actors are doing all kinds of adverts, even for cheesy stuff like Royal Kingdom. It must suck for people just trying to get by in the industry who used to rely on commercials to do that.
