I swear off so many products and services for no other reason than their obnoxious, repetitive commercials.

Off top of my head, I will never buy Old Spice anything because their ads are so repetitive and obnoxious. I feel disgust when I see it in the store and actively avoid it for no other reason than their spam campaigns.

Same for USAA, Native body wash, AmEx, Liberty insurance (that forced catchy theme), and more.

Anyone else feel the same way? Or have you caught yourself getting suckered in because of ads’ subconscious shenanigans?

    Ungh we have a similar thing around me for a used car company… just absolutely obnoxious commercials (that run way too fucking often) made very very poorly by the people who own the company and have an absolute gob of money… like they could hire better (and likely pay a lot to stage that shit to look low budget) and choose not to, because stupid people fall for the “Joe Everyman” bullshit they pull.
