Ok, it's "Get off my lawn!" time.
TV ads have gotten truly weirdly obnoxious.
There's 4 that really piss me off:
1) The Liberty Mutual ads with the emu. Some of their ads are funny (at least the first 40 times) like the Zoltan ads and the young, inept actor. But the emu ones aren't funny and make me NOT want to use them!
2) Allstate ads with the guy as disaster. They make my skin crawl. Only the one with Tina Fey and him pretending to be a St. Bernard puppy is funny--because of Tina Fey.
3) Not to be outdone, State Farm (and Aaron Rodgers) ads are like a really bad smell that turns your stomach.
4) Credit Sesame. Most are pretty bad, but the one of the "nice" White blonde lady being grilled by a tough Black lady and a guy with a Snidely Whiplash mustache hits every racist and sexist stereotype. I have to turn down the volume with that one.
Dishonorable Mention: The one for a brokerage--not sure if it's T.Rowe or Schwab where the OTHER broker is portrayed as a thief. Naturally he as the same first name as me. Seems my name is always the bad guy, or the nerd, or the guy who dies!
