I hate knowing how much money is spent on them so that they can annoy us with every attempted second of our lives. What, you can’t use that money to better pay your workers? You can’t use that money to improve aspects of your company, so you’re going to pay these groups of obnoxious pricks whose entire existence is to annoy people with your ads?
The ads themselves are too theatric for me to care, I can’t tell you the amount of ads I’ve had to stomach hearing through Spotify that makes me care even less about a product. They just take turns outdoing themselves as to which ad is the dumber of the bunch that night. Even worse are the ads that try too hard to reach for something that was ‘hip’ to do like 5 or 10 years ago.
The lying in commercials. I’ve learned in life that some brands that aren’t even the brand of choice, the best option available. I’ve been surprised on some of the things I’ve acquired from even dollar stores that somehow are better than the name brands.
And even then, there’s still lies projected from commercials that attempt to snag you in for money.
Oh yeah I’ve noticed this tone too with them. Like with one ad, one of the Mountain Dew ones, they tell you to ‘get off your ass’ and stop putting your playlist on repeat with party remixes. Their entire message is your life and lifestyle is nothing unless you drink their shitty product. Like fucking hell I’m going to now that you’re going to assume what my life is about and that I’m not smart enough to do anything else.
It’s that kind of attitude that won’t make me boycott the product, but directly go to any marketer to personally tell them off.
Guess that’s a very overlapping part of our culture. Fucking stupid ads for fucking stupid products.
I’d personally love for the assnugget responsible for the ad to have to watch it on repeat for a whole day. Everyone should be forced to watch their own shit for some hours nonstop prior to airing. I bet we’d have way fewer bullcrap-ads.
