I do recall all the ads after 9/11, perhaps a few locally after mass shootings like Orlando and Vegas. Basically (insert city name) follow it with "Strong." I said this last night! Same channel also, ABC World News. (I don't watch CBS, NBC as well)
Lets have 29 min. of utterly f'ing grim news (basically 18-19 min...gotta love all those medication commercial breaks after Muir gives us ONE story then to commercial) - anyway...that final story every night, the "feel good" Hashtag - "America Strong" (Person Of the Week on Fridays) Cuomo also does the same thing on CNN, calls it "Ameri-CAN's" I think the worse is my local news, all the "feel good" videos they share are kids dancing, or corny a** parody songs about COVID19 - to the tune of that 80s song "C'mon Eileen" - Everyone uses this TikTok video app. Pure cringeworthy nonsense. |

The #------ Strong crap started in Boston after the marathon bombing. I hated it from the git-go. I have for quite awhile been saying that we as a nation are turning into a society of mindless, fad-following, crowd-joining, bandwagon-jumping, nitwits. I believe we're now in the process of turning the corner onto the one-way street of no-return to full-blown, downtown Idiotville. |

Like I've always said... As long as she's alive. Or still warm. Or the parts are microwaveable. No, really---that's a special kind of ugly. |

I hate all that Jersey (or wherever) Strong crap.
I also always hate hearing how people in some country or state or town are "so resilient". For once, I'd like to hear someone say that people in their state or town are weak and will probably never recover from such and such disease/weather event/plague/attack/whatever. |

God, "Jersey Strong," that reminded me of this annoying NJ ad campaign - after Hurricane "Superstorm" Sandy" that started around this time 7 years ago and felt like it would never end. |

The celebrities on crappy webcams that all decided to quit shaving/self-grooming to look the part, saying "We're all in this together" are right up there too.
No we're not. You're in a mansion with millions in your account. None of you are gonna pay my bills or rent. |

And they are virtue signalling that they are 'self-isolating'. (What we don't see are the routine drone deliveries of drugs & food. ) I don't think anyone would care if they just stayed there, forever...

You wanna see the absolute epitome of this? Tune into Ryan And Smelly Live--these attention whores are absolutely GLORIFYING in their 'time at home' and its literally a pity party that resembles 'entertainment' IN NO WAY AT ALL...they are 'iphoning' their shows in and hanging out at home- POOR BABIES like we all are

Not much of a change for Fallon & Kimmel not having studio audiences. As long as they don't show the empty seats, they can get away with using canned laughter & fart machines...

The ad from Toyota. Notice they had to drop the "Let's Go Places" slogan. |

There is a plethora of ads about take out and delivery of all kinds of the food we love. Let's help keep them in business! |

I am ready to shot my tv if I have to keep hearing “In these difficult times “. (Or similar) on every single commercial!
The tv at work doesn’t have a mute button which makes it worse |

The RAM truck ad (I think...I lost track at this point ) with the "Better Days" song. Just stop! The only one I've seen so far that hasn't changed is VW - they still air the goofy "Sign & Drive" event. Maybe Range Rover (because when you can spit out $800-900 a month SUV lease, f*ck everyone ) And 10 mil + fired / unemployed in the past 2 weeks - as of April 2. Yeah, I'm sure most of them are ready to buy a new car now. These car ads should stay off the air, like our a**es are supposed to stay indoors! (I know, that's wishful thinking and it would never happen) |

I wish they'd put "social distancing" on commercials until this whole thing blows over. You know, just stop airing commercials so we can enjoy binge watching or whatever. Why should we be tortured in our own homes by the adholes while we're all dying? Meh... just a thought.

I'd be happy with a commercial break filled with vintage commercials or nothing but PSAs. Of course that will never happen but in the days of COVID-19 where everything except groceries/getting gas/certain takeout restaurants are considered non-essential, that leaves very little advertising dollars to be made.
Car companies should STOP commercials. No one is buying a car right now. With staying home being the #1 priority, getting a new car is #2,458 on the list of most important things to do. Most of what I've seen on TV are ads for food products and cleaning products, COVID19 PSAs, occasional car ads, and some online apps.

Back after a long absence...still hating those commercials. Go away Limu Emu and Doug!

Phoenix' CBS productions gathered a plethora of our local AZ 'faces'--in other words, the lawyers, AC contractors and the truly fecal Express Flooring 'chick' on a PSA style 'all in this together' cavalcade of 'stars'--so they can make a shill for NEXT months quotas--really bad & utterly insincere BUT it IDS all the really craven folks in one ad

Who would have thunk that OREO would get involved? Not at the top of my shopping list. And, I don't really need that c-rapping dude either! |

O-M-EFFING-G!!!!! That is beyond awful!!!! But I'm pretty sure the real "Oreo" in that ad is whoever's voice is doing the c-rapping. |
