Commercials that make you hit mute or change the channel

My wife has the ability to tune out commercials, but I unfortunately can't seem to avoid hearing them.

I know we have MFP members from all over the world, but I'm in the USA so these pertain to my location.

I hate the Kit Kat commercial with the sounds of everyone snapping apart their stupid little Kit Kats.

I hate the whole genre of commercials designed to help lazy people collect more government money. "Get everything that you deserve, we'll file the paperwork so you don't have to"

Anything with closeups of feet. I don't want to see your nasty feet on my big screen tv. Put some shoes on for chrissakes or at least have the decency to wear some socks.

Any reality show tv commercial were the 'stars' stand with arms crossed like they are a bunch of bad-*kitten*.

What makes you hit the MUTE button or change the channel?

    I don't have tv... sorry. I know I used to really just not like commercials at all, though.

    Hopper. The funny thing is they are selling a service that lets you skip commercials.

    The feta cheese commercial with yaya (old lady, grandma figure).

    "This looks like one of those pornographies" in reference to a few people in swimwear

    "You marry computer" in reference to a couple skyping

    I mute it because for some reason these feta cheese commercials have the volume that the yaya grandma might need. It blares loudly out of the computer speakers and makes me scared and bothers my poor little ears.
  • the ten minute long shirley temple commercials OH EM GEEEE

    ASPCA commercials too....they are so sad. I am feeding the feral cats where I work already, so when I see these commercials it makes me start thinking about ALL the homeless, helpless animals and I feel sad because I can't help them.

    Kit Kat is another good one....snap sna snap snapppppppppp...............ugh

    But the #1 hated commercial of all time to me are those gross azz TERMINIX commercials with the nasty looking termites and other bugs. I'll be sitting there enjoying my dinner while watching HDTV, Food Network, etc and out of nowhere one of those gross bugs splashes across the screen and I can do nothing but look down. For this reason I will never use Terminix everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    That ****ing commercial with the Native Americans trying to get you to take out a payday loan with them, and admitting without shame in the commercial that it is in fact, expensive and you'll be ****ed financially if you do it.

    The two people in side-by-side antique bathtubs on a hilltop overlooking the valley.
    I know what the commercial is for, and I don't care WHAT kind of pill you take, it still ain't gonna be long enough to reach from one tub to the other.
