It is a local commercial for a job agency. They play it all the time on a few channels.

I don't mind the girl.
I don't mind the message.
Heck I even find the song catchy.

However my OCD kicks in and it drives me crazy.

Watch the video. Look at her shoulders from the front, from the back...there are NO straps over her shirt.
Then when they show the big reveal of how she is listening to music you see the straps holding the object...as soon as they cut back to her jogging...NO straps again.

DRIVES ME CRAZY.

This commercial ran heavy a year or two ago...did not see it for a long time, now it is back in heavy rotation on a few channels.

It drives me crazy because of no straps to the point I am saying it out loud...there are no blanking straps and my wife has said...Chill out it's just a stupid commercial and I know she is right but I can't help letting it irritate me.

Nationwide Insurance, hands down #1 here.

Everything they do is annoying, trying to jam that commercial jingle into earworm status.

Thank God for that mute button.

How can you hate them? Their on your side damnit!

Funny thing about these commercials. There is no fence / land mass that close to the Statue of Liberty. It's MUCH further from any land mass than those videos put on.

I want some way for us to vote off the island one of these commercials on maybe a monthly basis.

I hate those damn Techmo Bowl commercials with Bo Jackson that play every 2 minutes while watching the Cowboys game.

Those liberty mutual ads are bad, and it's always women driving their car into a telephone pole.ha

The car named brad one is kinda funny though, and she's a cutie

For me, those Education Connection commercials are the most annoying by far. Worse than fingernails on a chalkboard. I always mute the TV when one comes on.

Being in marketing I pay attention to commercials.

Most commercials fail to do what they're suppose to– sell.

They approach it from the standpoint "OK, if our commercial is entertaining then it will cause people to search out our products."

Which of course doesn't work in most instances.

On top of that most commercials aren't entertaining– so they fail on two fronts.

Personally I like the "Flo" commercials. I think they entertain and get the message across.

The "mayhem" commercials are entertaining but I don't think they're as effective in selling the product.

That's the challenge. The "Energizer Bunny" commercials were entertaining but within a couple minutes many folks thought the commercials were for Duracell.

The famous "Where's the Beef" commercials didn't move the needle for Wendy's.

Another group of commercials I like? Sonic's. They're entertaining and they sell the product.

Here are a couple older commercials I like:



A golden oldie from 1982

And this:

Interesting and intelligent! But l hate those Flo commercials!!

I'm probably in the minority but I can't stand commercials promoting LSD as a soft drink. Plus that cat looks more freaky looking to me than the puppy monkey baby.
