Which commerials insult people's intelligence most? (2 Viewers)

The pharmaceutical commercials showing how great life is for the people who have taken the latest wonder drug of the week.

Side effects may cause blindness, loss of limbs, paralysis, and occasionally death. Ask your physician about ————— today!

You left out diarhea......that's always on the list. My favorite is when it may cause gas, bloating, and diarhea. Talk about the perfect storm.

The one for catheters where the guy is flying around in his stunt plane talking about his favorite brand of catheter.

when I see them, I take notice. But not like “I’m going to remember this if there is ever a thread” notice. But now that you mention this one, yes I remember that it takes the cake for this category. The cake, the baby, the table... /thread.

Also the OTA commercials that say they’re trying to help people in dire financial straits but are actually exploiting people in dire financial straits

All of them. I dislike all commercials.

All the while some later middle aged dude plays a pickup basketball game with a bunch of other late middle aged guys. And one random black guy.

Why do you say the black guy is random?? You didn't say the white guys are random.
That's racist!!

Yes we all know the game within the game within the game

Geico commercials. They expect us to believe that lizards talk. I've seen them in my garden and around the house and not single 1 of them can speak.

This law firm commercial comes on a lot. I'm pretty sure this dude is an android.

I don't know if this insults anyone's intelligence, but I don't like it.

It's like someone made an android and is trying to teach it to replicate basic human emotion, but it's failing miserably.

Liberty Mutual gets my vote
"Only pay for what you need."

Their pivot to that stupid "LiMu Emu and Doug" campaign -- their ads used to be fairly straightforward, with a few attempts at humor (the "actor" constantly flubbing the line, the "confidential informant" who leaps off the pier when his face is revealed), but someone at their agency apparently decided, "well, GEICO and Progressive have straight-up comedy campaigns, so we need one, too!" and decided a '70s cop show spoof was the way to go.

Just tell me your insurance is cheaper, for fork's sake.

Runner up, also an insurance company: State Farm and Aaron Rodgers' increasingly insecure sports agent. A lot of the spots don't even tell me anything about State Farm's insurance offerings.

The subtext of insurance commercials seems pretty clear - policy holders pay for these commercials so we can get more policy holders to pay for more commercials- it’s like an even worse Ponzi scheme than most Ponzi schemes
