nbcsn ads

Just in general I hate the following:

Jeff Foxworthy
Golden Coral
Vivaldi (nothing against the art it's just devolved into muzak)
Trans-siberian orchestra.

So that one ad is really ruining my mornings long after I turn off the TV.

The cadillac ad is dangerously close to the last 2 above as well.

It is like this every year. There are only a handful of sponsors, and they play the same commercials over and over again. By the end of the tour you are so sick of seeing the damned things that you want to poke your eyes out.

Watching the tour makes me want a skin suit fabricated from nothing but Tommy Copper Compression Fabric.

What has happened to the company with the liver pills featuring a little cartoon liver ?
They're not around this year. I am worried about them.

It seemed like Range Rover kicked off every ad cycle. Well at least it wasn't the old Saab born from jets ad.

Try watching ads for the Farmers Only dating site during early morning NBCSN Premier League soccer. I could be wrong, but I don't think American farmers are huge supporters of English soccer...

That said, ITVs ads weren't much better.

Probably no better anywhere. A couple years ago I caught some of the Vuelta stages on YouTube from Spanish TV. They had a heavy dose of repeat ads. One was for a historical mini series of the Spanish Royals. I watched the ads just for the amusement.
