This ad wasn't anything out of the ordinary until the later parts.
There's just something about these two (the guy and the gal) which is entirely endearing to me...
That makes my work about 100 times harder than it has to be. They list all those side effects and then people who are natural worry-warts think they have almost all of the symptoms. I don't see why they can't settle for putting it in writing which, in legal terms, is more of a lasting way to have it anyway.
Internet has also made my work more difficult since they think they can look up a disease or problem and then diagnose themselves. It makes me wonder why they even showed up for help from professionals if they're going to tell us they already know what they have - and be totally incorrect about it.
One guy diagnosed himself with rosacea when he had scabies.
I told him it looks like scabies, he told me it was rosacea. The doctor told him it was scabies.
She is...she's just not all that coordinated, you know?
Doc said scabies? Probably rosacea, then. Ha!.
Having just watched about 100+ hours of NHL hockey playoffs, there were two commercials that I really came to dislike. Dishonorable mention goes to the Dish TV "puppet" playing on the notion of having no strings/wires to their service. Particularly creepy was the one mentioned where the puppet wife does an enticing dance to distract her real life husband from the TV. These come off as being mean spirited. Like being ashamed or mocking someone in your family who has a disability. The other was the "upforanything" beer commercials. Putting aside the wisdom of encouraging beer drinkers to be up for anything, the "average non-actor guy" bugged me with his glee at playing ping pong with Arnold who is dressed for some reason like an 80s version of Bjorn Borg. By the 600th hundred time I was forced to watch that commercial I was ready to karate chop that guy.
...maybe so, but it would be nice to pull he strings once in a while...*sigh*....
That was a good one lol. I never understood it but...
I've been a bit effected by the anti-cig commercials with the bossy little guy cause they're so true. Most anti-cig commercials just make me want to light up.

I guess Cain was trying to go against the grain with the smoking, but it seemed random. Especially that weird smiling at the end.
The primary problem about commercials imho is not so much their content as their need to be used til they're totally worn out and so are we. On the rare occasion one is somehow enjoyable repetition isn't bothersome. But an obnoxious or insipid commercial becomes torture after repeated exposure to it.
My nominations for worst commercials are
Farmersonly.com - I'm not sure who would want to sign up for this after seeing these dumb commercials
Old Spice - these make absolutely no sense and are really weird too.
