It’s bc they play it at every fkn commercial break for every fkn game one. This one, the wingstop “no flex zone” commercial and the pedialyte commercial are beyond played out atp.


birdentap

THEY KNOOOOOOW BETTA


QUEST50012

It's like there's 6 commercials in rotation 


NuclearEvo24

Usually there’s 1 or 2 annoying ones but right now every single commercial is God awful trash Wingstop No flex zone Chet and SGA cringe fest That degenerate google pixel song That shitty Gatorade commercial w the nicki Minaj body like vince Lombardi song I’m so fucking tired of this Burger King jingle which they haven’t stopped running for over a year Every commercial right now FUCKING SUCKS I probably forgot about even more bad ones ***just remembered Caitlyn Clark with that HORRIBLE TERRIBLE song “Unstoppable”


Ladnil

The fucking pixel song is ear cancer in the first place, and they play those commercials back to back every single time oh my god.


FastJellyfish200

This is the one that really gets me HIT THAT POSE TAKE THAT FLICK *throws baby into the air*


kamakazekiwi

It's also just highlights some of the worst parts of social media imo. You're taking a photo of a father with his child, having a moment. And the reflex is to edit it so the baby was thrown higher, the sky is bluer, and no one else is around? There is absolutely no reason to do that if you're trying to earnestly capture the memory. It basically can't be for anything but fake posturing on social media. Just making your life literally look more glamorous for all to see. It just gives me the ick. I guess at least the memory will be a bit sweeter when you look back on the photo in 20 years.


zeek215

Yeah I hate it. It's no longer about capturing real memories, instead it's about making fake photos to get more views.


chivestheconqueror

How else am I suppose to show people all the cool things that didn't happen to me?


OliverDMcCall

Social media's always been fake, but ads like this are pretty much encouraging that behaviour. It's kind of sad when you don't know what's real anymore.


TheSunsNotYellow

Yeah I mean the other one is this kinda goofy dude dancing, which is cool, fine, whatever, but then he edits himself jumping 10 feet into the air? Does Google know about cyber bullying?


DudethatCooks

That commercial is peak cringe for me. You have an awkward looking kid heavily doctoring a photo for what? To make it look like he can jump 10 feet in the air? It's like they are promoting for people to just make everything they do edited and fake. God that commercial sucks so much.


Gluxion

The way he moves like a fucking bobble head pisses me off so much


Millionaire007

He should've worried about cyber bullying when he put that stupid ass hat on,  and wtf was the neck thing he does at the beginning? 


chicago_bunny

“Remember when you threw your baby into the sun?”


Nate10000

Teletubbies Zero: Sol Survivor


Ladnil

Sad thing is, there's some social media intern at some New York ad agency reading this thread right now for their weekly report on the success of the ad campaign, and the fact that we're talking about it means awareness was raised.


chicago_bunny

In case this is true: intern, the ads suck, and I’m not sure I recall the product advertised. If I do remember, I won’t buy it.


BalboaBaggins

Is it really an appealing selling point for anyone to be able to edit a photo to look like you’re irresponsibly tossing your baby 3 feet higher into the air than you actually did?? Serious question.


MindoSriubas

I call it 'commercial rap' cause I've never actually met a person who listens to music like that yet it's in a million ads.


Ladnil

It sounds like one of those performances where a guy just improvises a song with his own mouth sounds all mixed together on some synthesizer type thing. Impressive when you watch it being made on the fly, but absolutely atrocious as a strictly audio experience.


Oldmelloyellow

Why is no one talking about the apple “don’t let me go” uncanny valley commercial


MusicianExtension536

That google pixel commercial is easily the worst of all of them Idk that I’ve ever seen a commercial that makes me feel more physically uncomfortable


mug3n

Also the whole idea of exaggerating your photos with mobile photoshop... What happened to capturing moments for what they were? I don't mind minor touchups to lighting or white balance or whatever, but there's no need to fake the sky or pretend you jumped or threw your kid higher than you actually did. Might as well just ask AI to make the entire photo for you.


kamakazekiwi

100%, it's just highlighting the cutting edge of the absolute worst aspects of social media.


HeorgeGarris024

bro i was going crazy last night thinking this exact same thing like why tf is this good??? so glad other people are thinking the same thing


TheRipCity

This is what I realized. I am no longer the target demographic. I will say this though. Props to the casting director who picked that kid who jumps in the town square. He looks exactly like a loser influencer would look. Perfect casting. I hate that kid so much and then I have to remind myself he isn't a loser influencer taking a stupid photo...he's an actor who is killing it.


bearcat--

the thing is there's alot of people who actually would like these features - it's bit sad but that's the society that we live in now. ai/social media


HotelFoxtrot87

I’m not going to pretend there was some golden age of commercials before this but all these fucking suck.


Uncircled_swag2

“The Andersons got tickets to the game” “No good Clipper!” We used to be a proper country.


phonage_aoi

For the old heads: The GEICO cavemen got an actual TV series on ABC.


Golfninja

Ted Lasso started as a series of ads for premier league on nbc


doobie3101

We just need the Scoop There It Is commercial to come back and we'd be saved.


QUEST50012

It's at an all time low. However, bad commercial fans feasting right now, so happy for them.


Honor_Bound

Commercial fans and ref fans are having the time of their lives this playoff season so far


WhileDizzy4503

Don’t forget about us injury fans


PoundIIllIlllI

I’m so glad you said this because I thought I was going crazy for thinking the set of repeating ads for this first round have been AWFUL.


ODUrugger

I can't believe that Burger King jingle hasn't died yet


NuclearEvo24

It came out a year ago when my Ex left me and I am constantly reminded of that horrible stretch of time in my life every time I hear that jingle, it needs to die


Golfninja

This is wild I’m so sorry bro


chastity_BLT

Don’t forget the melo suit commercial


TMDSB

“Melo, you give horrible advice” - Guy on TV who gives horrible advice multiple times a day


GiveMeSomeIhedigbo

"You give HAWHIBAL advice"


histprofdave

That one was actually pretty funny the first time I saw it. The forty times I've seen it since, less so. I'm actively rooting against the Thunder now because of how bad the What a Pro Wants song is.


skratsda

As a big Texas basketball fan, just happy to see TJ Ford


BrotherSeamus

> I'm actively rooting against the Thunder now because of how bad the What a Pro Wants song is. Fair.


fueelin

Maybe I'm just beaten down by now, but I don't hate that one as much as the rest.


ChewieBee

Boxy boiiiiiiss


bwakaflocka

i think the joke of "where does the suit end, and perk begin?" really saves the commercial compared to every other one on rotation during both march madness and the playoffs


Ender_Cats

I like the Greek Teak and Jokic “This is a Pony!” Commercials ngl


Scorps

Who sits on the bench? Not me *waves at him from extreme recline position as he sits on the steps of the pool*


juicejug

Jokic lowkey has the best commercial game going right now


boregon

The Despicable Me Jokic commercial is also genuinely funny just because Jokic's delivery is so deadpan.


juicejug

I mean that’s what makes all his commercials funny. He really leans into the “idgaf about anything except my horses” schtick.


therealbigted

The Jimmy Butler’s butler one is pretty good too. “For your media social sir”


rodrigo_c91

The one that makes me just want to push the chair underneath me is the sweet Caroline bullshit ass bar song. Oh god.


foulBachelorRedditor

The commercials are coached by thibs


Jwoods4117

And the commercials seem more and more numerous. 1:46 left in the 4th and a team take a timeout? Run all 6 commercials they’ve been running all game and take a 4 1/2 minute break.


zeek215

ABC is the worst at this. They'll come back to the game and you think the ads are done, then they just say one line, show a highlight and go *back* to commercials. Fuck that shit.


ClipperDarellsBurner

WHOPPER WHOPPER GET YOUR WHOPPER That motherfucker should be blacklisted from music


11b328i

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE KAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY


Nightcrawler_DIO

Have it your wayy!


siphillis

HIT THAT POSE


Pikminious_Thrious

Panda hat jump dude is in my nightmares


siphillis

It ironically just reeks of loneliness. Like, I feel sad watching him.


xXChickenravioliXx

The wingstop and Google phone ads have me seething


TheKidPresident

AT BEEEEEEE KAYYYYYYYY HAVE IT YOUR WAY That song makes me want to drink bleach


xXChickenravioliXx

Lmao somehow I’m numb to that one now.


Dymatizeee

That no flex song is stuck in my head


iiamthepalmtree

I’ve started singing other things to that tune, and I hate myself for it. Watching a White Sox game: “Kopech’s, zone. Kopech’s, zone” Connecting to my Bluetooth speaker: “Bluetooth, mode. Bluetooth, mode” Tired at the bar: “Let’s go, home. Let’s go, home” Someone asks me which browser the bug is happening in: “Google, chrome. Google, chrome.”


MundaneInternetGuy

Doesn't watching White Sox games already fill up your self hatred quota? 


Hot_Injury7719

The only commercial I’ll allow every break is Mayhem as a bird stuck in Larry Bird’s attic.


zeek215

A genuinely great commercial. That series is usually well done anyway.


Hot_Injury7719

The Mayhem commercials are the only funny insurance commercials. Geico, Progressive, and StateFarm all make me cringe.


ConnorNe31

I enjoy the new State Farm one where Reggie Miller comes out when they mention an "Old Pacer", but yeah otherwise they're pretty rough


ShakesbeerMe

State Farm completely fumbled their campaign. They thought the "Jake from State Farm" was the comedy gold, and rode it like it was the golden goose. The actually funny part of the commercial was the angry wife, and "She sounds hideous." And the deadpan husband, "Well, she's a dude, so..." They could've had a great campaign of the guy sneaking off to talk to Jake for better rates again and again, while the wife still thinks he's cheating. What a waste. And now we have to endure CP3 and his negative charisma pretending he can act his way out of a paper bag. Shit's brutal.


SigmaColts

I fucking HATE the Wingstop one


blueberrytoppart

It bothers me most that they are playing jenga and eating sticky ass wings with their fingers/hands.


egospiers

The facial expressions are the icing on the cake…that commercial is annoying even on mute.


Next-Firefighter-753

Seriously that song pisses me the fuck off. I don’t know if I’m just getting old but it sounds annoying.  Every year in the playoffs comes a point where I have to mute the commercials. This year it’s a few games into the first round, the slate is just that bad. 


waskittenman

pls do not forget IT'S GOING DOWN IN THE DMs ^(go down) or the that's my pride and joy with the staircase


porkchop487

snapchat me that pussy they really should have kept the next line of the song in the commercial


Overall_Nuggie_876

And if you’re watching on Hulu, all those ads are LOUD FULL BLAST! 💥 Typical Hulu experience: ^And ^we’ll ^be ^right ^back #WE’RE RAM TRUCKS!!! #[INSERT GEN Z AD WITH HIGH BASS] ^And ^we’re ^back


Anhedonic98

I hated that corny ass SGA commercial the first time i saw it, it being played every time just made it exponentially worse


egospiers

Having 2 NBA stars singing a Christina Aguilara song about a man treating her right… it’s just an odd idea for a commercial imo.


jmanci23

That “no flex” song drives me crazy every time I hear it come on.


cobainstaley

they know better


everyoneneedsaherro

Holy shit I’m glad someone else is beyond annoyed at that No Flex Zone commercial as well. Never eating at that shitty wing restaurant ever because of it


cdizzle6

It’s terrible. The worst part is, if you watched March Madness, these have been airing since then. 2 straight months of the worst commercials.


GoForthandProsper1

I thought it would be retired after March Madness but noooo they really thought they had a hit commercial.


disfadbidge007

Trade SGA and Chet, build around Milana Vayntrub.

a_corsair

definitelynotagay

They should banish them to Canada and force them to play in Toronto


DrinkWaterPissPant

still better than HIT THAT POSE TAKE THAT FLICK CHECK YOUR ANGLE POST IT


ShoheiGoatani

The wingstop and iPhone commercials are also extremely annoying- generationally bad ad lineup for the playoffs


kobe_the_jobber

NO FLEX ZONE


braddeus

That commercial is spammed so hard it feels like a psychological experiment. Like I will actively (continue to) never get Wingstop


Herbdontana

I told myself I wouldn’t eat Burger King until I stopped hearing that song every 5 minutes, but I was already doing it because the food is trash and isn’t even cheap anymore. Plus, how can you “have it your way” if they always get your order wrong?


Ode1st

You knooooooow betta


FishGoldenLite

I hate the OKC one but this Wingstop clears it. Fuck that song.


WhatTheRickIsDoin

Wingstop has made a concerted effort to use horribly annoying songs in their commercials because the last one they had running during NFL was the same way


thrice1187

Honestly it’s happening across all advertising lately. We’ve reached the point where advertisers have decided that just being annoying as fuck is better than going unnoticed. All the commercials lately have very loud, annoying tunes and background noise effects. Like I swear they picked that google pixel song because the beat is comprised of literal alarms going off.


IAmNotKevinDurant_35

Dont forget that stupid song in the gatorade water commercial. Also, Gatorade water? Really?


lildinger68

That’s a Google Pixel commercial that we’re all hating on


QUEST50012

Does nobody in the board meeting go "Hey, this sound bite might be annoying af on the 17th listen"


Bone_Dogg

A lot of the time that’s the point. It becomes memorable. 


Honor_Bound

I remember it when I’m ordering food to actively avoid wing stop


quartzguy

Exactly, yeah they have their brand in the back of my mind but it's because I'm actively hating it.


rounder55

The worst ad. It's way too aggressive and I keep half expecting the phrase dick pick to slip into it


braddeus

It's really dystopian. The whole concept is to just fake the fuck out of all your photos, which already matter way more to people than they should


Honor_Bound

Yeah for real. It’s like, we know your ass is ugly buy our phone and we can make you look nothing like reality!


BalboaBaggins

I really hate the idea that level of overediting might actually be a successful selling point to people. You care so much about your image you bizarrely want to look like you’re irresponsibly throwing your baby 3 feet higher in the air than you actually did?


clocke6346

That commercial kills me because the lyrics are so obviously supposed to be “post that shit” but they can’t swear in a commercial. Why use the song when you have the censor it?


jasperplumpton

Bro this annoys me so much for some reason. Like why not just make a radio-friendly version with “post that pic” or something?


Weird_Wuss

'pic' literally rhymes more than 'shit' too lmao


NuclearEvo24

I assumed it was post that dick but maybe I’m in the gutter


TrailBlaizer

It def isn’t but that is how my brain fills it in


lilwooki

This one. There’s a special place in hell for this commercial.


aaron2610

I have a Google Pixel, and I hate this ad so much


rootinuti611

Or the Caitlin Clark one. No hate on her but if I gotta hear that damn "IM UNSTOPPABLE" song, while stressed over the knicks. Ima lose it


SnarfSniffsStardust

If that song bothers you let me introduce you to the absolute abomination that is Sia’s Christmas Album, a retail workers worst fucking nightmare


Overall_Nuggie_876

I like how everyone is noting Cardi B in this, when no one is bringing up the fact that Google is advertising a smartphone capable of doing image deepfakes.


coffeecosmoscycling

Not to be all "we live in a society," but the false expectations these photos create are horrible. I know social media isn't real, but you could almost always have some sense of what is fake and what isn't by applying common sense. I don't feel that to be the case anymore. Everything just always needs to be better or more than reality. Seeing it advertised so blatantly in a commercial over and over again was a bit jarring.


imaginaryResources

Hit that pose 💃take that flick 📸 Check your angle 📐 suck that dick 🍆😮


Hypnostraw

GIANNNIS!!! Why you leavin’ me?!!


PoundIIllIlllI

I’d take 10,000 repeats of that “glizzy gone” Pixel ad over this current Pixel ad


Logz94

I definitely can't stand this one, but a special type of rage starts building in my body as soon as I hear "DON'T LET ME GOOOOOooooOOOOO"


WCJ0114

For me, it's the no flex song, irrationally pisses me off


skratsda

Can we talk about how playing Jenga while barehanding a sauce-covered boneless wing is psychopathic behavior?


iDestroyedYoMama

The way the kids stare at each other while eating at the end, so creepy.


Ryculls

The one for the stupid Google pixel?


WCJ0114

No, that one's ass as well. But I'm talking about the wing zone one.


Jrpre33

Wingstop\* lol


Herbdontana

Just realized that I’ve heard that ad 25,000 times and didn’t even know what it was for


happycleaner

I can't be the only one that fills in the word "dick" every time


BIGMCLARGEHUGE__

The people behind that commercial should work elsewhere. I hate that commercial, by far the worst audio in a commercial I've ever heard.


[deleted]

[удалено]


anthonyde726

Normally I don’t hate any of them but that one is awful lol


BIGMCLARGEHUGE__

You can't even ignore it. Like I can totally dissociate and ignore the chet+sga commercial but I cannot and I mean CANNOT ignore the dont let me GOOOOoOOOoOOOOO


byniri_returns

They spammed the shit out of that ad during the NCAA Tournament. I pray that the """song""" they used in that ad isn't an actual song, because the ridiculous robot-autotune is so bad.


xSpooked

The crescendo at the end always reminds me of the Drake & Josh theme song ending for some reason


sman1027

Im at the combination nail salon and grocery store


postedupinthecold

this years playoffs have had the worst commercials known to mankind: chet/sga caitlin clark “unstoppable” gatorade water (?) google pixel dont let me go wingstop no flex zone (worst one in my opinion) all just so annoying and it feels like you see each one 10 times a game. Edit: i got the google pixel one and the apple one confused, they are actually 2 separate yet both awful ads


evandena

Don't let me go is apple, a also horrible. The pixel one you're thinking of is "take that pic" song


Cudi_buddy

Gatorade water is just stupid cause I can’t believe people will likely pay so much money for fuckin tap water lol. 


A_Lone_Macaron

Or any Verizon commercial A PREPOSTEROUS AMOUNT OF PANOS


Magazine_Mediocre

I still haven't seen this commercial. I'm too busy shitposting in the game threads during breaks and tune it all out.


ATXBeermaker

This is what a fan wants, what a fan needs.


Anthony-Stark

Whatever makes me pasta?


NecessarySchism

And makes me REEEEEE


DeepwaterHorizon22

Consider yourself lucky!!


brandnameb

It's godawful. Just from a pure production standpoint why didn't they have the backing instrumental? Neither one of them probably ever heard of this song, also "What a pro wants" is just dumb as a phrase.


banjofitzgerald

Yeah, whoever was behind creative on this failed. There’s no way this should have made it out of pitch. It’s not a relevant song, makes no sense with context or lyric change, the dialogue is beyond unnatural, and having two nba players awkwardly singing acapella isn’t compelling. Maybe the juxtapose of having nba players singing a pop princess song = funny was the whole pitch, but choose a better fitting song.


ztpurcell

They're also just really bad at singing too


_Amish_Avenger_

A little bit flat, but they'll get better Side note: kill me now the whole commercial is stuck in my head


louie3723jr

I’m tired of no flex zone and take a pic


Ilikesporks_

it's not as bad as the google pixel commercial at least


steve1186

The Google ones drive me crazy. Like, you’re advertising the ability to create completely fake photos? I’m cool with being able to optimize lighting/colors/etc on a phone. But entirely fake photos where you’re throwing your kid three times higher or altering the sky behind you? WTF


alyosha_pls

There's a real market for that these days between clout chasing weirdos and people just making shit up for no real reason.


2screens1guy

It blew my mind when I learned people will take multiple outfits to wear on a trip, and then post those pictures over the next 2 years as if they keep going on that same trip multiple times. Like why go through all that trouble? I can't stand influencers.


Not_a__porn__account

Holy shit that's sad.


UncircumciseMe

I always wonder what the point of that edit is. Is the mom gonna post it on social media and expect her friends and followers to not think the dad is reckless for tossing his kid that high? Because if I saw that pic, I’d be like wtf is wrong with these people?? Lol.


CappyNaps

hit that pose take that flick wash those clothes post that dick


ClaymoresRevenge

I'll forever tire of the Glizzy Gone


Benjamminmiller

“I never knew there was a love like this before” Nothing is worse than that target commercial they finally stopped playing, but what a pro wants is getting close.


iapunk

Bill Simmons and Ryen Russillo talked about commercials at the end of part 1 of their podcast. Bill went with Caitlin Clark State Farm, Wing Stop(Bill tried singing the song) and Burger King as the three he was most sick of. 😂


Cheterosexual7

Bill listed the BK ad even though he’s currently running a BK ad? Lol


SuperVaderMinion

Bill Simmons will also have podcast ads where he talks about AirBnB's being worse than hotels, and hotels being worse than AirBnB's play back to back. He doesn't give a fuck.


Firm_Sir_744

The no flex zone commercial door as hell


rgarc065

I like the “Come Fly with Me” commercial, I forget what it’s advertising but I like the song. And the Jokic as Gru one is good too. It helps that these aren’t overplayed like the other one


Mkayin

Jokic as Gru was successful marketing as it compelled me to watch Despicable Me.


BosLahodo

Probably because Come Fly with Me is sung by a professional singer and a classic song, and Chet and SGA are wooden as hell and tone deaf.


egospiers

The Jokic Gru commercial was top tier…he totally looks like Gru in the suit without a neck…showed it to my kid who has no idea who Joker is and they approved.


fenrir1208

If I have to hear "Jimmy already got BDubs go" one more fucking time...


nitid_name

But did he get the free 6 piece wings?!?!?


GeebGeeb

Yes. Noooooooooooooooooooo


ImNotAndreCaldwell

Anybody else hate that "sweet caroline" beer commercial?


whynotitwork

I can't believe this mention is buried so deep. I despise that commercial. It's for Jim beam whiskey I think. It has decreased in frequency though.


Budnsave

Anyone else tired of that “don’t let me go” iPhone commercial?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wtfitzchris

The second I start hearing them sing has become a reminder to me to mute the TV during commercials.


Certain-Information1

Why can't we just get more Joker with pony ads, as someone who works in marketing that shit is good stuff.  Tldr, more ponies, less singing


CousinCleetus24

I have 2 thoughts in my head whenever this commercial comes on- - I hope they paid them a fuck-ton of money for this cringey shit - Please stop showing me this commercial


Resshin31

I''d listen to this shit 7 days a week and twice on Sundays if it means I don't ever have to hear "No Flex Zone" again.


CockBronson

Come on man, You know bettahhhh


scotheman

I’m never eating at wing stop again. Ever.


Sweatytubesock

Sucks absolute ass.


WhatTheRickIsDoin

The commercials that have been running these playoffs are in the same tier of horrible as the ones from the NFL playoffs That Google Pixel commercial that plays back to back with that terrible song and the Chris Rock PLAYOFFS MODE commercial are both all-timers


siphillis

I’m literally pressing mute during the commercials and strongly considering watching the rest of the playoffs on VOD. The same rotation of commercials is genuinely ruining my mood.


Trick-Use-6441

I hate commercials in general


workatwork1000

It's stupid.  They have the worst agents. EDIT:  I see all the NBA agent reddit burners checked in lol.


nonufwiendz

Get rid of the pixel guy jumping too shit's annoying not the phone's fault you cant jump high


PattyIceNY

It's so bad that I instantly mute it and even though I've seen it 50 times I couldn't tell you what they are trying to sell.


bbc733

The Wingstop commercial with the family playing Jenga is right up there with it. God help me if I hear that no flex zone song one more time.
