    Same here, no TV since 2013 and I only have to sensor some commercials if I watch youtube stuff with my daughter. Only thing I've missed without TV is the Grand Slam Tennis but some of that can be had on the web.

    Old jingles/commercials...someone today getting car repaires mentioned AAMCO and in my head I heard "Double A, HONK HONK , MCO" seems like it's a million year old commercial and there was some creepy mechanic (not generalizing) but maybe it's still on?

    Commercials selling gold/fear especially those that quote past performance.

    Commercials for investments that "go up when the market is up, and lose no value when the marketing is down."

    Fungus.

    Radio and TV black wannabe white Xcel energy guy pisses my wife off...especially funny since she works for Xcel. Never fails to turn whatever he's on off.

    oooh been meaning to post this one. For some reason I really dislike this ad:

    I HATE FLO.

    Best commercial I've seen in the last 10 years (or has it been longer)--Eminem for Chrysler--"imported from Detroit", with a lot of imagery from my home town.

    This piece of video ipecac sent me lurching for the remote when it came across the screen. (In my defense I was watching a recorded episode of Wheeler Dealer on Velocity.)

    Not only is it foul beyond belief - It runs for a full two minutes.

    My 2 year old loves watching Pepa Pig on Youtube with the AppleTV. Before each video they play a commercial for anti-depressant medication. Really? Are parents this miserable or are kids being groomed to be pill popping adults?

    I used to see Iggy and the Stooges at the Grande* Ballroom, back when Detroit was the Motor City not Hockeytown. He hasn't changed much.

    As if anyone with Type 2 diabetes is eating healthy and exercising regularly. Same shit with all the cholesterol drugs, such transparent bullshit.

    It's technically correct. The diet and exercise aren't working because the people aren't following the diet and aren't exercising.

    my "favorite" from back in the day was for a diet pill made from grapefruit, and they have someone ask a fake scientist, "how does it work?" The answer was "the secret appears to be in the grapefruit." Ah, well that explains it then!
