After this sh*t year, number 1 has to go to Liberty Mutual.

Painfully unfunny slop. The constant LiMu ads, the creepy Caricature artist, dork dressed up as a cell phone.

Ending the year with goofy "people remember commercials with Nostalgia, here's one..." Special ed kid opening up a present excited about a LM box.  Of course that dumb jingle.

This site should put together a Worst Commercials of 2020 trophy with a golden turd on top and mail it straight to the advertising department of the offices of Liberty Mutual.

While I really can not pick out a single worst commercial there is one category that I think was the worst. Before we get to that one though here are a few honorable mentions

Liberty Mutual-While Progressive and Geico brought some garbage to the table Liberty Mutual was easily the worst when it came to insurance. Whoever came up with the giant cell phone should have gotten something special for their efforts such as a pink slip. Maybe that magician will do something truly incredible and make all these commercials disappear. 

Sports Betting-Tennessee recently made it legal for people to use sports betting sites such as DraftKings. Now all these sports betting sites are constantly trying to sucker people into giving up their hard earned money. 

COVID-19

All these were bad and annoying but none of them come close to the single worst category of 2020 


Political Ads-I am at the point where I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of them. I have been having these on television and on the radio since late 2019 and since I live in Georgia I still am getting them. 

It began in October/November 2019 when Mike Bloomberg started putting his ads on television. Seriously we are talking one year from the general election and about 4-5 months before the Super Tuesday Primaries. As we got closer to the election his ads got more and more to the point that was about all you heard during every commercial break be it on television or on the radio. Obviously Biden and Sanders also had airtime but these were nowhere near the annoying factor as Bloomberg's.

Then came the senate primaries. Even though I live in Georgia everything comes from Chattanooga as a result it is common for elections from both Tennessee and Georgia to get ads. This time was a doozy as there were three open senate seats up for grabs. As a result it was a nonstop barrage of ads and this is just for primaries. 

As we get closer to November it is obvious that Georgia is going to be a swing state for both the presidency and also the two Georgia senate seats. Thankfully the Tennessee one was pretty much decided at the primaries so I got a reprieve from hearing that one. 

November 3rd comes and it is actually nice that evening to have the television on and thinking that it is the end of political ads for a while. Oh how foolish was I. Both Georgia senate races wind up going to run-offs. With the stakes being insanely high this time around the ads are at a point where they are the worst they have been yet. Thankfully Tuesday evening maybe things will finally be over. Oh wait Chattanooga has their mayor election in March Cry 

I think the worst part is that most ads are not about what someone is going to do but instead how much of a scumbag the other person/persons are.

Geez, talk about going worst case scenario. 
"Wear a mask. Stay 6 feet apart.Stay home. Unless you're an important politican or celebrity. Then you're immune and can do whatever you want since you're not one of those non-essential little people..."

That's rank propaganda if I ever saw it. Angry

(Also bonus points for the standard issue mixed races in every scene)

My vote goes to that GrubHub Commercial with the people dancing to the obnoxius music. I hope to never see that dang commercial again. Second, that Frito-Lay Christmas commercial with the little stinkbug known as Anna Kendrick. Third, any Liberty Mutual ad, god those commercials suck.

(Also bonus points for the standard issue mixed races in every scene)

I rarely watch TV anymore (thank you Covid ads and non-stop depressing Covid news and gloom). But my mom still watches the news every night. These ads air every night, multiple times throughout the day and night. Primetime, daytime talk shows, newscasts, you name it. I wonder how much Jay Inslee, our governor, makes every time this airs on a TV station in our Evergreen state? The other one they show over and over is a 60-second ad that describes how vaccines work, with an obvious African-American announcer.
He recently extended the restaurant/gym closure to 1/11/21. We've done relatively well with Covid, a lower death toll than some states of our size. But 2,300 restaurants were forced to close with little help from both the feds and Inslee. That's tens of thousands of employees - servers, cooks, dishwashers, managers, and bartenders. The last night they were allowed to be open for indoor dining, I went to a local restaurant here in town (a wonderful Italian restaurant) and after getting my bill...I tipped those folks $15. They deserved it.

Lately I donated $25.00 to a new and growing restaurant fund ran by Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy. It's called the Barstool Fund. He's up over $18 million in just two weeks time and nearly 75 small businesses FULLY funded. They fund their rent, payroll, food, whatever they need until life returns to NORMAL. His Twitter and the Barstool Fund Twitter post all of the FaceTime reactions from the owners and managers that receive 'the call'. Some break down in tears. He's done an amazing service for our small businesses and I know it will grow. Imagine...if 250,000 Americans donated their paltry $600 'stimulus'. That would be $150,000,000 more for the fund! THOUSANDS of small businesses fully funded in that situation. I hope to influence a bunch of friends and people in my town to donate and to also ask any small business owners if they are struggling and need the help. WTG Dave! Clap

I love it! Should also say "Liberty Liberty Liberty My A$$" on it. I swear, GEICO, Progressive and L.M. are the Three Stooges of insurance companies. Except they aren't even close to funny. They are mindless for the mindless, and the emu and his idiotic sidekick proves it. And Flo & Jamie. And most of GEICO's output.

Oh god the GMC one too. Wanna make a bet it returns for November-December 2021 too?
I didn't watch much TV in 2020 - I assume Elmo was doing PSAs for the CDC and they were airing on networks *other* than PBS and HBO? Yikes is all I have to say.
