Some of the commercials we see on TV and hear on the radio are so good, that we fondly remember them for a long time to come. Many others, however, are so annoying that we either press the mute button or change the channel as soon as they come on and wish they would just go away.
What are the most annoying television or radio commercials that you've seen/heard?
I always hit the mute button or change the channel for almost every ad concerning prescription drugs. There's those that pitch prescriptions directly to the consumer, in which they tout the benefits and list side effects, and always tell you to "tell your doctor about all the medicines you're taking", among other things. Then there's the endless stream of ads especially during daytime television about impending drug and implant lawsuits: my most hated ones are about Xarelto (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb_UnbSGsS4) and the transvaginal mesh (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lMSJwlni7E). Seems like every couple of weeks, some new lawsuit against some random drug is being advertised all over the place. Of course, your case will be referred if you call these ambulance chasers, and you're not going to get the "substantial compensation" that these trial lawyers claim you might get if you play along with their lawsuits.
Another genre of ads that annoy me are those pitching for-profit schools such as ITT Technical Institute, Dorsey Schools, and Ross Medical Education Center. Yea, I know I should become a pharmacy technician or medical assistant (and get myself deep in debt trying to do so!)
