    Never seen any of that crap when watching a vid on YT... hehehe, thank God for uBlock Origin :D 

    OMG, this. Also, I get that same BS whenever I do a reverse image search on Yandex (which reverse image search is better than TinEye or Google... also, thank God for uBlock Origin's element zapper/picker mode)

    That newish Truth ad about the juul testing on animals. Thanks Crunchyroll for making me sit through that one 8 times in a row. Thank God for the mute button.

    Oh and that Little Ceasars commercial with the family taking that photo saying cheese constantly.

    I hate that google stadia ad. Even though I don't want it, even though I have no reason to get it. Google still tries to peddle it to me because they have full control of the ads on youtube and can play it as much as they want.

    Especially the ones that start with. *SCREAMS* "HATE" or whatever it is. Nothing like watching a calming video only for an old man to scream in my headphones.....

    I really hate the Rebel Wilson ads for a dating site. I hate it because the singing "Love tips with Rebel" sounds like "Love tips with Redbull" and I wonder wtf Redbull has to do with anything. The singing is horrible too.

    Redbull did run a TV ad for awhile that not-so-subtly suggested using it for energy in bed.

    The Pitpat ads that started showing here recently with the psychotic "walkies!" woman. So damned annoying :(

    The stupid ads for Proactiv face cream that have some teen dong a sob story voiceover (complete with slow "tearjerker" music) about how having bad skin isn't the end of the world because... Proactiv can fix it! They're so heavy handed with the sob story I almost feel like I'm watching a charity telethon :(

    It's November, and you know what THAT means!

    Yup, endless strings of upbeat holiday ads talking about "the spirit of the season" in the new Chritmas-exclusive flavors! -_-

    I hear you. We get Dave and Busters here and I think the nearest one is over 120 miles away.

    Can confirm. Getting Carl’s Jr. ads when you live on the opposite side of the country is pretty taunting.

    Any ad that uses such a huge leap of illogic that the person making it just looks like a complete moron rather than someone who you'd actually buy something from. Current example - Violife vegan foods. "It was easier than I expected to switch to vegan pizza, so it should be similarly easy to become an escape artist..."
