Did we say Radio ads are fair game here? Because the ziprecruiter ones makes me want to find whoever approved the voice actor's performance and give them several punches to the groin. His speech pattern is all jacked up and it's uncomfortable to listen to.

Or a guy who forgot his no-compete clause was so long everyone forgot about him. Not to mention the "Sprint's network is within 1% of Verizon!" boast is just sad no matter who's making it.

I don't hate the "Paul" commercials too much. I am too focused on hating any commercials involving Flo from Progressive. If she were a wrestling character we would say she needs a turn.

WHAT?? I still love Flo. Love her, love the multiple family characters she plays. Will never get tired of Flo.
Life is hilariously cruel.
It ain't the six minutes... it's what happens in that six minutes.

I am glad they break up their ad time with Cyril Figgis, The Progressive Box.

I'm kind of getting tired of seeing Stephan Curry and Serena Williams break stuff in the green room and pay for it via the Chase app. Not that I dislike either of them, but the commercial is on non-stop.
I hate - HATE - the Toyota commercial that uses Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" in it.
The commercial basically tells the story of three selfish jerks who would rather be late for a meeting, lunch with their girlfriend and picking up their son from school just so they can drive around in their car.
So the gist of the commercial is " look out for number one, and your Toyota"
Moronic.

My newest least favorite ad has the AT&T woman, Lily, on a plane with a random woman, and the woman gets harassed because everything costs money on the plane. It’s a lame premise, but it inexplicably has Keegan-Michael Key looking embarrassed to be eating a sandwich because he’s part of some exclusive group. The worst part is that after the flight attendant tells the woman that it costs money to even buy headphones to watch a movie, Lily has to boast that she can just use her iPhone to watch something, neglecting the fact that phones have to be in AIRPLANE MODE while in the air(which presumes that either Lily gets preferential treatment or is just planning to not follow the most basic of airplane rules). I hate everything about this commercial.

Uh - I can download movies to my phone to watch on planes. I do it all the time.
This has nothing on the geico commercials where the company is failing financially and they bring out the Geko to talk insurance

At the moment, the worst is the one where the carolers sing "Carol Of The Bells" but they're telling the woman to buy her husband a new iPhone and she can trade in the old one "in any con-di-i-tion". Can't wait for Christmas to be over just so this ad doesn't come on anymore (I hope!).

I guess, although I’m more referring to using their wi-fi, which is what I’ve had to do in the past on airplanes. I still think there’s enough crap in this ad to justify my hatred.
I do agree with Peter about the holiday ads for the iPhone, although I can see them tweaking the commercials just enough to keep this from disappearing(which is disappointing for sure).
