Anyone else getting tired of the Ageless Male commercial SPEED and Velocity seem to run every commercial break? I realize the audience is probably older males but for crying out loud I am starting to recite that thing in my sleep. I try to mute it every time it comes on but I can't always get there in time.

The one that drives me nuts is JG Wentworth. What market do they serve? How many people actually have settlements that pay out over time?

Indeed. I've wondered the same thing... I'm sure they rake people over the coals when they use their services, but seriously - are there that many out there to justify so many freakin' commercials?
And those Ageless Male commercials aren't just on Speed and Velocity... unfortunately...

What's strange is that the tv channels that run JG Wentworth commercials are the same ones that run those ads for class action lawsuits on asbestos. "....even if your loved one has passed you may be entitled to compensation..."
Sorry, but I think Everest ("college") commercials are the worst.

Bottom-feeding ambulance chasers in general annoy me the most. "Call Bogin Munns and Munns..."

yeah, I listen to a talk show on the way in to work in the morning. Ageless Male, and also a male performance enhancer commercial are back to back at the same time every morning. If Im on schedule in my commute, I know that if I turn the radio off while when Im getting on the freeway, and about 2 miles later turn it back on, I will have effectively removed them from my listening landscape for the day...

Yep. And around here, we've got one in a league of their own, the Spector Legal Team. Their "look at me" add was remarkably offensive. This intense blond woman would shout "LOOK AT ME" to start the add. Which did work well, it got your attention.

I guess every area has their offensive lawyer commercials. One of the ads in the Detroit area we have Captain Kirk (William Shatner) pushing some loser law firm. Really Captain........you sank this low?

I love how they think everyone watching daytime TV is unemployed, retired, or strung up in a body cast in the hospital.
Some of us have a day off, some of us work nights. I think the Wentworth opera bus commercial its by far the funniest.

I remember talking to people at work about the bus one. What feelings go thorough the heads of the singing "actors" on that commercial? Yeah, they get paid, but Jesus, I'd never show that to anyone I knew. How embarrassing.

Yeah but if you guys were on your sailboat and the main sheet shroud broke AND your hootus didn't work you'd know what to do because you're old.

Yeah, that stuff just screams "lowlife".
That said, I'm a fan of the plunging neckline of the spokeswoman for Dr. Colorchip. I tend not to FF through that commercial.
