Does anybody else hate that thing they do in commercials, where they have different people saying the exact same thing over and over again? Like "Tell me, what are you doing to save" then someone else says "To save the environment" and then someone else says "The environment?" "How about you?" "How about you?" "You?" "What can I" "What can I do?" "Can I do?" I hate that repeating crap.

Are you one of those people who make those repeating commercials? If so, I wish you only the worst in life. If not, take it easy!

Wow, your question sounds really confusing. Luckily I understand. And yes, I do hate it. It's like they think if they have a bunch of people saying it that it will have a greater impact on us. Not working for me.

You realize, of course, that you have proven that the commercial is effective! Even if you happen to be one of the very small minority who will actually boycott a product due to hatred of the commercial, there are plenty more people out there who will not, even if they do hate it. The fact that they actively hate it gives it more presence of mind than a commercial that they are completely indifferent to.
Some commercials don't care whether they annoy; they're just looking to push your buttons!

Aren't all commercials annoying attempts at mind control?
And they cater to the greater stupidity.
Some of the worst are those pharamaceutical ads.
Why are they advertising things that only your doctor should suggest?
Then at the end they have a speed talker mumble the disclaimer:
"some side effects may occur such as sudden death cardiac arrest liver failure and a ten hour erection."

The only commercials I REALLY HATE are those of that annoying FUCCILLO : How can a stupid idiot be allowed to show his ugly face nonstop 24 hours a day and get away with it???????????? If I want to watch tv I`m forced to hold the remote in my hand so that I can mute or change channel. Imagine we spend hundreds of dollars on cable and what do we get in exchange? THOUSANDS of times a day HUUUUUUGGGGEEE .AKA Bully Fuckillo

yes i do, there is this really annoying one about cellphone games and ringtones. Everything they say gets repeated 2 more times by 2 different people. So annoying.

Yes....it is annoying. Like they are trying to empahsize that people of different sexes, races, demographocs, etc, all agree on the same thing. Good concept, annoying tactic.

yes but i hate to say it, repetition is one of the biggest ways to persuade people to buy your products as the point becomes easy to remember. kinda like brain washing ya. the strange thing is you always seem to get suckers out there falling for it. ha.

It's a poor version version of mind control. They hammer it at you, thinking one of these repeats will sit in your memory bank
