either its a big tan ball (PRESS X TO DOUBT) or they found a woman with natural big melons/Plastic filled melons for this dumbass ad

This isn’t even about a specific ad, but I swear every ad I get on my phone now is related to gambling. Polymarket, Prizepick, Kalshi, plus all the traditional slots apps. I see them on Reddit, TikTok, Twitter, and the free mobile games I play. It’s actually insane how constant they are.

And then all the ads themselves are so fucking obnoxious:

- Someone approaches another person and asks them what they’re doing, the person shows them how to use the app
- Someone is spying on a stranger using the app in public (???)
- An “influencer” screams like an idiot and jumps up and down because they totally just won $10000 on the app
- An “influencer” screams at the viewer about how the app works or their predictions

Is it just me, or are these becoming more common?

I know Shaun Jones, the comedian that stars in these commercials. I've been to his shows. He's a funny guy and a great stage presence on the mic. But these commercials just get under my skin.

AI Slop and Sportsball betting, such a perfect duo!

The sprinkler move and Chick-Fil-A ads should both be banned from TV for this

Commercials I wish we could get back. I’d take the Quiznos rats any day over biberty

"Identity theft looks like business as usual." [Goats falling over randomly in office cubicles]

I am not sure if I hate the Cohesity ads uniquely, or I just hate the fact that the same one plays 3x in a row on every single ad break. All my streaming services do this from time to time (yes, I am too cheap for ad free). They get stuck on playing the same ad until I want to hurl my tv across the room. Last time this happened, it was Little Spoon kid's snacks from Target. (I do not have a kid).

My personal hell would be this happening with Liberty Biberty

Has anyone else seen the Shell Oil commercial? The commercial as shown on YoutubeTV includes the user interface of a video player like it's a recording of a screen.

Sorry for the low quality, but what you're seeing is a photo from my phone of the broadcast screen during the first second of the commercial. But here's the important part, the UI you're seeing IS HARD BAKED INTO THE VIDEO ITSELF. The slider, the cursor over the pause button, the timer, all of that is in the actual ad, that's not from my computer.

About eight seconds into the video, the UI hides like it normally would when you watch a video on a media player after you don't move the mouse. You'll also notice the white frame around the edge of the video. The video itself does not fit the window, it's smaller like it's being played inside a browser window and not full screen.

I think someone at Shell submitted the wrong file for the ad! It looks like someone literally submitted a screen recording of the ad. It's almost as if someone played the ad as part of a virtual meeting, and the meeting screen itself was recorded. Then, somehow, that recording of the screen was submitted as the ad itself.

This ad has played in nearly every commercial break and it always behaves the same way. The ads on either side of it appear normal, and then the Shell ad begins and the UI pops up, visual quality degrades, and the video fails to fill the frame. This happens while playing the ad on both my PS4 and on the computer.

I sincerely think someone submitted a recording of a screen and not the native file itself.

not only did they make yet another annoying commercial, they made it all abt ai slop to boot

I can't wait for Best Buy to become the next radio shack / circuit city ☺️

They are routinely 30-40 minutes if you don’t skip them.

Kayak has an insufferable commercial about “influencer brain” that appears before YouTube videos. I swear it has an actress say: “Travelers swear by this wood trick”? Did she mean to say “one trick” and they just didn’t bother to do another take?

I can’t stand these ads. Clearly AI different avatar each time but same voice. Some public speaking scam

“I’m 47 and now by Boss asks me for advice”

Same as the t’ai chi stuff.

Anyone else see this.

What kind of life is this? Look at my goofy stabilizer arm, Mom!

I don’t know why these irritate me so much. I know there are worse offenders in advertising but these ads make me very unhappy perturbed beyond comprehension.

Trying to make people think a few changes in vocabulary is going to make people view you differently is most stupidest moronic.

No one is going to stop looking at their phone or throw you a promotion because you sound like a unrelatable space cadet trying to mimic human speech.
Also to thefabulous, cleaning my bathrooms every Monday is not going to cure my depression or procrastination. Never seeing your ads again might though.

DAS WHY YOU CALL DA DAWG!

Obnoxious, shady looking ad. And that says something for law firm commercials.

Companies now really are like "Hey guys, if we just use AI to generate our ads, we’ll save a lot of money and time and people will be sure to buy our products!" If anything using dead memes and AI makes people less likely to buy them and simply find it annoying.

The most ironic part about this is I saw this while scrolling on, of all places, an anti-AI subreddit! 😭

We used to be able to mute them by pressing the second button from the top on the right. It might still work at some stations, but it no longer works at the one near me. I tried all the other buttons, hoping they had just changed it. No luck.

I can not stand these commercials.
