Top 10 Worst Types of Commercials

You know those little ads in between the shows you watch? I know, they are annoying, but there are just some types that are just... Ergh.
The Top Ten
1 Pet Shelter Commercials

They're the thpe of commercial that makes you change the channel right away, They're not only a minute or two long, but they have the depressing music and all to accompany the pictures and videos of abused animals. They do capture your heart, but capturing your heart and making you cry isn't exactly a desirable way of persuading someone.

Yeah, we all know how Imagine by John Lennon is played with this. These are the type of commercials that have you flipping the channel for a good three minutes before flipping back.

Yet another emotionally manipulative commercial. I care about the animals and all, but are you seriously going to depress me like that when I'm having a good day?

What I really dislike is when it's a YouTube ad. I don't need a moral dilemma or guilt every time I decide to hit "skip"!

2 Anti-Smoking Commercials

Unfortunately they seem necessary. Just as revealing the real danger and consequences of drunk driving, texting while driving, and other harsh realities that were often ignored and kept silent in the past

I mean, I don't support smoking at all and I don't smoke, (I use Popeye candy to pretend, haha.) but come on. These commercials are just too much to watch! Especially the ones where they tell you the person dies in the end. My heart just sinks!

These ads are really depressing, yet have a strong message, so it's probably necessary. The one where he gets buried alive is terrifying.

Because one day, my boomerang is gonna come back, and I need both my hands to catch it. Boomerang!

3 Texting and Driving Commercials

A good way to scare us to stop at once. It's all normal at first, then suddenly, BAM! You're scarred for life. It's tough to think about too. These commercials are just disturbing! The one that scared me badly is the one that says,

They're scary! An animated one I watched a few yrs ago gave me a nightmare.

4 The Ones That Are Boring, Long, and Just Don't Make Any Sense

Yes. I hate these. There was this one really long commercial, I don't remember what it was for, and it didn't make any sense. It didn't help that I was sick, and I just wanted to watch my show.

There's one that keeps popping up about energy expenses in paper mills or something... Put that on a loop and it may cure my insomnia!

The ad with the tap dropping water, so boring.

Like some infomercials.

5 Buzzkill Commercials

These are the commercials that represent any subject and at first you're all happy and excited, then suddenly they just throw a bucket of tears at ya.

6 Terrifying Ones

Scary commercials like Kaffee or Baby Ice Cream is another example of this. By the way it's awesome feels like I was watching an actual horror movie rather than an ad.

Especially the Rings one. I mean, come on, at least don't air it on a kids network! Kids are going to get terrified!

Another one that can be about any subject really, but it just scares ya! I can't stand them!

Someone mentioned the Baby Ice Cream ad. My gosh is that ad disgusting and unnecessary.

7 Cheesy Local Commercials

The Summit Place Kia/LaLonde Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram ads are a good example of these. I've first started hearing these ads since 2017/2018 and I despise them. And in fact - in one of the LaLonde Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram ads, at the beginning, it sounds like they ripped off the "never gonna" part of Rick Astley's song Never Gonna Give You Up, but pitched up and with added sound FX. For someone who loves this song, it grinds my gears. Tip: Don't listen to 96:3 WDVD when the commercials start, because these commercials will always be on when the commercials begin. In short: awful and annoying.

Those commercials that are only played in your hometown and only you know, but are so annoying and cheesy! They are poorly done and always have this annoying jingle that never leaves your head!

I hate those. They only air in your specific area, and I ESPECIALLY hate when a different one comes on after that one, and then it comes on again! It's REALLY annoying.

Canadian small town commercials have this grating forced sense of humour put on by people obviously reciting a script.

8 The Commercials That Feature Someone You Despise

It might be someone you know personally, someone who's famous, you name it!

9 Dating Sites
10 The Ones With the Annoying Jingle

"Down! Down! Prices are down!" - Coles. That ad was the worst, and it kept playing all of the time.

For the best night sleep in the whole wide world visit my pillow. Dot com

The really annoying ones that get stuck in your head even when you don't want them to

The Contenders
11 Political Commercials

Thanks to those political attack ads, I get less interested in cable T.V. in October.

Especially in 2016

12 Back to School Commercials

They make them terrible on purpose with the crappy music and people doing random things that you don't see anybody doing at school. Hell, I've seen a few back to school commercials that were in no ways even related to school (looking at you, Kohl's and AT&T).

13 Insurance

Do NOT get me started on commercials. I really hate these Budget Direct ads.

14 The Annoying Commercials About Poor Children

Solution - Help the children and animals, and the commercials will stop. How much would it harm you to donate five dollars to an animal or child in need?

Why don't you help the children and animals so these commercials can stop? Complaining about the commercials won't help. Like, at all.

How is this any worse than pet shelter commercials? The poor animals in shelters have gone through worse things!

This is just rude. I know these commercials aren't fun to watch, but you can't say these commercials are annoying.

15 Pharmaceutical Commercials

And all the possible side effects that often seem worse than the affliction. Push drugs, regardless if they are really necessary, have been proven very helpful, do other harm, unknown effects, or if a doctor actually thinks the patient needs them. Push the idea that pills are the useful solution to anything and everything. So sad that so many of the youth (like the older) are given or take drugs for their problems - such as lack of sleep, lack of energy and both.
Pharmaceutical companies in the US are such a rich and powerful influence on the economy, with the focus on on-going treatments of symptoms much preferable to finding cures.

Want to start sleeping again? Take this medicine! Side affects are only hyperactivity, chance of fever, chance of TB, rashes, hives, swelling, and blurred vision. Take the pill every day, three times a day. Call your doctor if you start to develop suicidal thoughts, shows signs of cancer, or show any other major diseases. Call your doctor if you fall into a coma or have medical diseases.

Drug commercials: The only type of commercial where people dance around when one the side effects mentioned includes death.

Take this pill to make your arm stop hurting but you might go into a comma or DIE or something.

16 Fast Food Commercials That Make Their Food Look Healthy

The McDonalds one especially. It's like their trying to ' force you into visiting, even though they already make a ton of money.

These make me cringe

17 The Ones That Involve Memes

The literal definition of Erghhh. the last thing the world needs are memes when I'm watching the superbowl.

18 Obnoxious Annoying Commercials

I can't stand the commercial where the mother makes her kid run in the house and up and down the stairs. That's why I can't stand these get active ads.

19 Commercials with Screaming Kids

Every time my team concedes a goal and these types of ads play, I get really annoyed.

20 The Perfume Ones

Haha who added that comment? Should have said

21 The Tantrum Toddler in Cambell's Soup Commercial
22 Car Commercials

I HATE the new Acura commercial w the hip hop? (Some song by 'wills'). I change the channel every time it comes on. Actually worse than previous 'like a rainbow'.

I am irritated by commercials about vehicles!

23 Proactiv Commercials

I used to see these ads on TeenNick all the time when I was in elementary school and I found them to be pretty annoying.

24 Cologne Commercials

It always just shows a handsome guy saying or doing something that has absolutely nothing to do with the cologne he's advertising. They're not bad, just incredibly irrelevant.

These commercials are quite annoying. I guess you could say they don't make scents.Get it?
