Kars for Kids, the Liberty Mutual insurance, Flo the progressive gal, Geico, Kaily Couci whatever her name is for Animals who suffer. Read somewhere her annual income is in the millions. I hate rich people telling the average joe to donate to cause. To be honest there are darn few I LIKe. My heart does go out to Wounded Warriors and Shriners. Cute little Alex from Shriners made me donate and seeing veterans gets so little makes me cry.

Cottonelle toilet tissue - currently these commercials are running with some British lady asking random people after having used the bathroom if they would "go commando". The idea is that the Cottonelle tissue leaves your tushy so clean that there's no need to wear underwear.

I mean seriously WTF? Just wearing pants without underwear is disgusting.

I hate the Liberty Mutual commercials also and instantly change the channel or hit the mute button.

But calling them "sexist"? They have those commercial with men also but I mute them so I never hear what they say.

But even so, virtually 100% commercials that are "sexist" are sexist against men. Anything in a commercial that's bad happens to a man. As anti-male as movies and TV shows are, commercials are the worst. Most people are blind to this because that's all they've seen their entire lives.

The Bosley commercial with the guy that says "I mess this hair up if I wanna mess this hair up!"
Haha that's actually one of my favorites. I think Peter Brady (Christopher Knight) is in that one too ("this is MY hair!!!!"). I like it because it's upbeat and engaging.

Commercials I hate are either depressing or boring. Animal cruelty ones are just painful. I love animals so those commercials are difficult to watch. The message is right but not something I want to see while watching TV. The cancer commercials are pretty bad as well.

The mesothelioma, etc. lawsuits are a bit better because they're more neutrally boring, though I could definitely do without them.

I like commercials with Anthony Sullivan and other pitchmen because those are actually entertaining and funny IMO.

Domestic Violence PSAs. It makes me angry seeing men hit their wives I just want to crawl through the screen and beat the **** out of them. Give those bastards doses of their own medicine. Especially the one from the 90s where the husband comes home from work and expects dinner to be on the table and he noticed she got him pizza and he starts getting all pissy and starts hitting his wife. I wanted to crawl through that tablet screen and give that guy a dose of his own medicine. And I wanted to tie that ****er up and stuff the pizza down his throat until he throws up

Why don't I like these ads, well Christina (https://www.jacuzzibathremodel.com/posts/who-is-christina-haack) simply put, is not a very good spokesperson (https://www.quora.com/Do-some-TV-commercials-irritate-you-so-badly-that-you-mute-the-volume-or-quickly-change-channels/answer/Marylou-Bondi) to place directly in front of camera. She can't help but consistently speak in what is known as "uptalk" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_rising_terminal) or "upspeak" (https://www.reddit.com/r/CommercialsIHate/comments/186ogty/comment/kb9yt6x/), where basically, it sounds like very single sentence that comes out of her mouth sounds (https://www.facebook.com/groups/665664800172505/posts/31151288947850023/?comment_id=31164426513202933&__cft__[0]=AZarjc0F3S4O9a_jTlyTi8fr12O4yijqPwI0Aj7fCzkKZymhdK_WjXAQnFV3zTSDCF6J4KCg88y_t4c-3xBqK3eKgAkaLCNxyo8opD_ZLUeBFeo4Wt_pdQ25owzi0cwiuUE_m9M8FDQ53whyuuL1bFEvZBwRqd45F2qc5Mq0PyH2CgXlkeIWz-VYNYl2Kd8aWig&__tn__=R]-R) as if she's directly asking a question (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wUNnRLMm0c&lc=UgzRAiVagJCkp56J0rp4AaABAg).
