All commercials that follow this trend of having a short skit of someone acting out and/or saying a terrible joke or pun, and there's one or two characters going at them. They're literally never funny.

Don't know if it counts as a commercial but when I wasn't paying for Spotify they ran an ad for British expats for a while (mostly during COVID) which took forever and was the most boring ad to listen to.

Not much annoys me in that department, especially over the past few years as I've learned to take things easy much better.

But Liberty Mutual is seriously pushing my last nerve. The original "Liberty Bibbity" one was the only tolerable one they've done in the last few years.

Also the Caesar's Sportsbook "If you don't have my app, I can't reward ya" one played during almost every single Hulu break from like March through May because online sports betting just became legal here. That one turned annoying eventually but then looped around back to actually being kinda catchy and I missed it when it went away.

There was that Cascade Platinum ad with this one dope who talks about how much water he's "saving" by running his dishwasher with one of their packs every day. And I'm like... that's versus handwashing, and there's no benefit to running it daily. Doing so wastes water, so I will never buy that product solely because it claimed to be doing a service for the environment when it was doing the opposite in order to sell more product.

The Halloween one trying to normalize giving out full-size candy bars for Halloween got played to death and annoyed me. Nobody gives out full-size candy bars unless they have a lot of money or can count the number of trick-or-treaters they get on their hands. That is not normal.

Can't say I recall seeing this one and I watch Jeopardy regularly. Maybe my station doesn't play it? That said, I am NOT looking forward to next year being an election year, because that's usually when I stop watching Jeopardy for a spell because the political ads during it are excessive. (I still watch Price Is Right during that period because they only show two political ads during a full hour show.)

They bring this commercial back every year, at least here. They probably just update what year the narrator reads off between Martha bits, but I swear she gets more obnoxious every year.

The political ads are abundant once they start, but usually none of them are individually annoying and easy enough to just tune out.

Cars, sports betting, political and pharmaceutical ads are pretty much always the worst regardless of actual content. When I'm working from home and watching daytime Price is Right and local news afterwards, there's a lot of ads clearly aimed at retirees that seem pretty predatory too which sucks.

I don't have any specific ones to name right now though, because I don't watch TV frequently enough and don't pay enough attention during the commercials to remember or call them out.

Yeah, I just saw it during The Price Is Right and came in to say that. It's so long that it's annoying, not funny. This concept is better served for a 30-second spot at max.

Also there are some brands people are saying that I've never seen ads for. Probably since they're regional?
