5 Commercials That Make Me Change the Channel Every Time

Some commercials are just annoying, and perhaps they motivate me to turn the volume down a few notches. But some commercials are downright offensive to my sensibilities, to the point where I have to either mute them or change the channel altogether to avoid seeing even one more moment of them. This, to me, is a bad advertising strategy no matter which way you cut it. Here are the top five offenders. Watch them if you dare.
5. That Sarah McLachlan ad
You know the one I mean.
4. Head On
A classic case of a commercial that’s actually based on being impossible to watch without wanting to shoot yourself.
3. The Geico pig ad
Dear god, make it stop. Just make it stop.
2. This anti-smoking ad
I know, this is the kind of thing smokers need to see, but does it really have to be so incredibly horrifying? I have to mute it every time. I couldn’t even listen to it while finding the embed code!
…and the all-time worst offender:
1. Riddex Plus
I’ve seen this commercial dozens of time, and to this day, this is my reaction: “AAAAAAA!” (gouge out eyes) (die). This ad can go to hell.
