Nothing can bring me out in hives more than that little ditty.

Menards " You save big money when you shop Menards"

There was this one in the early 2000's for Kendall Jackson Chardonay on the radio. A co-worker and I get pretty annoyed with it.

Anything with Liberty Mutual and I mean anything to do with them. Piss on them and the brown emu they rode in on. :lol



Regarding the “kars for kids” TV commercial, my understanding is these are very low-rent ad slots, and it means the broadcaster did not have a higher paying ad to replace it. Kind of like a PSA.

Things like:

World wildlife fund
Charities that do cleft palates surgeries,
Surgery-medical ship charities
Charities feeding the hungry elderly Jewish people in Israel
Red Cross
Etc….

Obviously things that identify as “from the AdCouncil” or something pointing you to a website with .gov as the address is a PSA on behalf of the government,

These ads pop up in surprising time slots on different news channels, from newsnation to cnn to Fox News, and it makes me surprised to think “this time of day they couldn’t sell that ad slot?”

Of course, PSAs are the only advertisers on Many AM stations, on all parts of the day.

If I recall correctly, I believe it might have been 102.5fm out of Adrian/Hudson, Mix then the buzz or WMTR 96.1 from Archbold Ohio.

AFAIK, it's been just, "Save big money at Menards" for a real long time now...

Anyone remember when that was just the end of the jingle that built up and ultimately ended on an up-note? (before today's shortened down-note-ending version) It has been a very long time...

Right, that AD has been around for like 20 years. Still, it works for them.

Not sure about the Adrian station but I can't really see the station that runs commercials for the Fulton County Fair running a commercial for chardonnay lol

The current Wegovy tv ad has a 'jingle' that sounds like a sophomoric SNL fake commercial jingle, and repetition of this is beyond annoying...

This was years ago, so not 100% sure, could have been a station from Jackson Mi. Anyways, after hearing it so many times it was just annoying after awhile.

I detest and despite the Wingstop commercial with the moronic "No Flex...Zone" song (and I use that term loosely) playing in the background.

Kars-for-Kids spots, both radio & TV, are also very, very awful.

The weird woman who hawks total body deodorant also annoys me.

:lol Kars-for-Kids has that indefinable cheese factor I find amusing. And as an ex-marketing guy, ya gotta love MANDO. :lol
