OT: Commercials We Hate

What a pro wants might've ended. They're not spamming it anymore. Maybe it was a 1st round only thing. Maybe it was the backlash.

Chet Holmgren and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 'What a Pro Wants' commercial: Why sports fans are sick of AT&T ad | Sporting News

Chet Holmgren and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's "What a Pro Wants" commercial is stuck in every fan's head, but nobody seems to enjoy it.

It was played way too much.

The first few times I saw it during March Madness, I thought it was okay, but got annoying as the tournament went on.

Playing it during the NHL is just plain dumb.

Speaking of dumb.

These Hyundai Santa Fe ads with the family dressed like Vikings with Heart’s Barracuda blasting. I mean, use Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song - the ad is congruent.

No one has mentioned the Kohls adds, specially the montage one with the family dancing like doofs. It's just embarrassing. If I ever have kids its exactly how I don't want things to be.

And I hate that song. I thought it was Daft Punk for years but apparently it's a Daft Punk side project. The guitar especially irritated me then, and now.

The couple that broke up when they didn't watch the Avalanche win the Cup together. Would anyone actually do that, break up with someone who you were dating long term when you didn't watch the game together but your team won the cup. That commercial has to be fake.

The Wells Fargo 2% card with Martin Short in the bookstore.

It’s not funny.

And that bank is the definition of a parasite.

The new AT&T 5G commercial with the kids "playing" basketball and the mom playing her basketball game on her phone is also annoying.

Yes! At&t just lives to annoy us.

This. Horrendous message too. Don't pay attention to priceless memories of your kids growing up because you're playing some bootleg ass phone game.

Hard nope.
