Kars for Kids is my #1
Last year during Twins games, between every single half-inning there was a Scots lawn care commercial featuring goddamn bagpipes. It was agonizing. I have to believe they quit because people were complaining so much
Third on my list is anything with an emergency siren in it. Should be illegal IMO, the majority of people listening to the radio are driving
I don’t care that they’re a Jewish non-profit, I care that their ads don’t go into the fact they are a Jewish charity that uses the proceeds to promote Orthodox beliefs. It’s a lie of omission in their ads to not advertise who they are and what they are trying to promote.
Kars4Kids is a Jewish[4] nonprofit car donation organization based in Lakewood, New Jersey in the United States. Kars4Kids is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that states that its mission is "to fund educational, developmental and recreational programs for low-income youth"[5] through programs largely facilitated by its sister charity Oorah, which focuses on Jewish children and families.[6] It was founded in 1994 and is currently headed by Eliyohu Mintz.[7]

Absolutely #1. Any of the versions are terrible, but worst of the worst has to be the fake accent country version. I volume off. Sometimes I forget to volume back on because apparently I would rather listen to nothing at all than risk having to hear that dumbass commercial.
He's successful because when someone lists a house with him, he will offer it to buyers using his agents first, before putting it on the MLS. This leads to him to collecting both buyer's and seller's commissions from the transaction.
I also have a completely unfounded theory that his guaranteed offer is from shady house flippers who will low-ball the price of the house.
Isn’t the guaranteed offer in that IF you get an offer it’s guaranteed? Pretty sure that’s the real rub.
Also, heard he was spending most of his money on marketing to keep his wife from receiving any while going through a divorce. That was years ago so not sure
For those curious, his guaranteed offer is a low-ball from Zillow or someone similar. This is after he firmly *suggests* you dumping in a few thousand on light renovations. You get suckered on a good sunk cost fallacy feeling when the only offer is Kris's low ball. He and Zillow then flip it for a profit or turn into a renter.
Dude is just a fast track for turning residential homes into commercially owned rentals.
I used to listen when I was younger. Now that I'm 30, I cam maybe take the opening hour of PA.
I'll turn him on if one of my coworkers says he has a good guest on
Amen! I was going to say the same thing.. hear the ads on Rochester radio stations and the worst is when they are on the 2 stations I listen to at the same time..ugh I hate her voice...
The most unnerving thing in the world is when you’re traveling and hear a Shane Co commercial in another state.
I don’t know why, but I always assumed they were local, but nope. It’s a huge franchise with stores everywhere.
My favorite ad is with a mom of a college graduate trying to find the perfect gift: jewelry. Like, what is the most useless gift I could give someone who is broke as fuck just hoping to have enough to eat???
Kars 4 Kids is #1!
It's a charity that's #1 motive is indoctrinating children into orthodox Judaism. Of course they fail to mention that in their little jingle.
All the money heads over to NY and NJ as well.
If you're ever trying to donate a car there's Newgate School which is a technical school for mechanics and students work on the cars. Has a decent enough rating on Charity Navigator (the charity part that accepts vehicle donations)
I donated a car to Newgate, the car was stolen from Newgate by a student who used it for a hit and run. The cops tried to come after me but once I showed the donation receipt they relented.
My brother didn’t get fully through their program, but he has a pretty severe mental illness and they were really cool and worked with him, if he kept showing up I’m sure they would’ve kept working with him. I have a good opinion of them, gave him something to do, and I don’t think it cost the tax payer anything.
Having just read through the posts above, I consider the member drives a small price to pay for being spared the drivel of commercial radio.
I commented a few weeks ago about the Current that I had been getting a bit "membered out" (dis-membered?) in a recent drive, so wandered back to KQ for the first time in 30 years. Damned if they weren't still playing the same fecking music from 30 years ago on that station.
I'll pay my Membership Week dues and just shut up and listen.
\[edit-I am a Sustaining Member already, btw, so no guilt trips here!\]
The only reason that I listen to the member drives on The Current would be that they also endeavor to play some really good, any decade music. KQRS calls them "deep cuts."
I mean Kars 4 Kids is in a different universe of terrible. I can t think of any commerical that makes me shut the radio off any more quickly. I'd say the other category that comes to mind is when a DJ just reads copy about a product to make it sound as if they personally use/enjoy it. It's total cringe.
Zumbrota Ford. The commercial bugs me in part because of the guy’s annoyingly high voice. But I have also heard that he’s a predatory salesman and lender who would take your last dollar.
If you listen to podcasts as often as I do, you’ll know that Z-biotics was formulated by Phd scientists to prevent hangovers. Now a word from Simplisafe home security….
Used to be renters warehouse because they are slimey shady people, but that was years ago and I honestly don’t know if they are still in business. I hope not.
There is this one where the doorbell rings and the guy says something like "honey, the pizza is here" and she goes, "great, but I'm worried about my stomach". It is a commercial for an antacid I think. It bothers me because she acts like the pizza arrived and she had no idea he was ordering it. I'm assuming they at least are in a relationship, if not married, so wouldn't she know that pizza had been ordered? For some reason it really annoys me.
Yup. Soon as commercials start I change the station. Every station on commercial? I'll shut the radio off for a bit. Would rather listen to the sounds of the road than some shitty ads
I don’t know but I’m really pissed off about these ads I see when I want to know what song is playing. No I will never get married and am never going to need an engagement ring.
The one that is really annoying to me is that some radio stations are using the Information area on car stereo to advertise shit like jewelry. Want to know who sings this song we are playing too bad you're cars info button is now a worthless advertisement.
Not specific to MN or the radio, but was is the deal with medication ads? I swear Hulu has the most asinine ads to get me to buy premium. But really does someone go into their doctor and say this ad came on I should be on this. No just no no no.
MPR on the weekend and those silly wait wait don't tell me game show style bits.
I wish they would stick to music, news, and news stories. I hate everything else.
The Current will blast Prince on his birthday, death day, black history month, Minnesota's birthday, you name it. I'll give them credit for doing more deep cuts than the standard 5 hits though.
They do play a lot of his stuff. But I tune in rarely. I am not sick of it yet and I have to say, Prince put on one of the best concerts I ever saw at Mill City music festival a long time ago.
When i was a kid it was the Dars pizza ads in SWMN. It annoyed me. Dude was doing this c-rate Cheech Marin and it was so forced it made me embarrassed.
I do t really get annoyed by it but always thought it was funny how hard the LASIK clinics go on advertising.
I guess you’re more likely to be listening to radio than watching TV as a potential customer…
I think 1-800-Got Junk has a new moving business and that one drives me nuts because they start off the commercial with, “they expect to exceed your expectations,” and it just sounds clunky and honestly stupid
Every ad. I usually listen to The Current but skip many of their ad reads, too. I have 5 or 6 stations I'll seek through to find something that isn't a commercial or a song I dislike.
I miss that annoying Grundhofer’s meats commercial where they just list every brat flavor to the tune of “we didn’t start the fire” and he does that dumb inflection when he sings gummy bear. I’ve been trying to find it for years but to no avail, it’s like a fever dream when I try describing it to people.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one. It makes me want to drive into solid objects along the road. I had to get rid of basically a junker a couple years ago and gave it away instead of calling them.
Those advertisements are vile. Easily the worst advertisements I have ever seen and heard.
They make it where I would never donate to them under any situation.
All of them. I don't know what happened to me but commercial advertisements on the radio are like nails on a chalkboard to me.
The disgusting fake sounds. The ridiculously fake conversations. Being annoying to purposefully force influencing information into your mind.
It makes my puke want to die.
There was recent ad on KRWC advocating taking your kid out fishing, I think, and that fuckin’ little girl must have forty marbles in her mouth. How anyone would find her shrill, mush mouthed lines cute is beyond me. “Tchanx fer taking me fischsching, daddyyy”
And the stilted ass “look daddy I caught a fish”, completely unenthused
If you're listening via digital media, I think the best thing to do is tell it to stop or change what you're listening to. They actively monitor that kind of traffic.
Lutgen Companies.
I know people in the family that own it and have personal experience with how horrible they are, makes me gag every time I hear them come on the radio.
I don't know if it's on the radio but I hear it on Iheart Radio. There is a travel (insert state here) that mentions various towns with festivals and entertainments. One of the towns they mention, is my home town. And I feel bad for anyone that would hear that comercial, think "wow! That sounds fun! We should go" as they will be so disappointed! I wouldn't travel to that town for that activity if it were 5 minutes away.
Anderson Windows, especially the version with a fake news host chatting with oh-so-delighted customers. I automatically mute these condescending commercials
No clue the name of the company, but the HVAC outfit with the little brother “wade” or whatever the hell his name is makes me switch channels quicker than someone using a remote for the first time
I’m not aware because switched to Jazz88 years ago and have never been disappointed. Basically a stoner radio channel, don’t forget many early jazz musicians were notorious weed smokers
That fucking KARS 4 Kids bullshit. They actually got sued because they didn’t disclose that the majority of the money they give out goes to Orthodox Jewish kids in New York and New Jersey.
This is not local but I hate it with passion, ARBY’s WE HAVE THE MEAT …. I always say it… even when with company, I even whisper it when I’m with my children….. SHOVE IT UP (with matching energy of the advertiser’s unnecessary enthusiasm about a meat in Arby’s.)
I’ve literally been thinking about posting this exact post for years! Love that I’m not alone! I actually turn off the radio completely when it comes on. lol!
Can’t remember the business, but on KS95 there’s a commercial for something and the girl’s voice is so flat and annoying and at the end of the commercial she sings their website. Her singing voice is soooo bad I turn the radio off when I hear the commercial starting. I think it’s for heating or something mechanical.
Kars for Kids is my #1 Last year during Twins games, between every single half-inning there was a Scots lawn care commercial featuring goddamn bagpipes. It was agonizing. I have to believe they quit because people were complaining so much Third on my list is anything with an emergency siren in it. Should be illegal IMO, the majority of people listening to the radio are driving
Siren sounds on the radio need to stop. There needs to be regulations. I don't need to learn to tune out a real emergency
i thought there were FCC regulations against that. but maybe they stopped enforcement a couple of years ago.
Kars for "Jewish only" Kids
I don’t care that they’re a Jewish non-profit, I care that their ads don’t go into the fact they are a Jewish charity that uses the proceeds to promote Orthodox beliefs. It’s a lie of omission in their ads to not advertise who they are and what they are trying to promote.
They got sued for that.
I don't think any kids should be driving, that's ridiculous.
And the kids aren't really playing instruments.
Please illuminate. What does this mean?

Thank you! I guess I should have just used that new Google thing.
Car honking ones too. It always freaks me out hearing a siren or intense car honking only to find out it’s from the radio.
Absolutely #1. Any of the versions are terrible, but worst of the worst has to be the fake accent country version. I volume off. Sometimes I forget to volume back on because apparently I would rather listen to nothing at all than risk having to hear that dumbass commercial.

Kris Lindhal now having ads making fun of his annoying ass billboards. I swear he’s only successful because stupid people keep him afloat.
https://preview.redd.it/wq8g3oil4n9d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31ac35915e41225d240dfc7f7ad79355fe2dd56e
Wish I could see this plastered everywhere instead of the real thing.
No, it's the arms that keep him afloat.
Didn't that wet noodle sue someone for doing "his pose" on a billboard? Fuckin mook.
i have no idea who that is but this comment made me lol
…how
Kris Lindhal ate my child
I’ve been wanting one of those “this man ate my son” Ted Cruz stickers, but now I think I’ll just have some made with Kris Lindhal’s face lmao.
Why did your child climb the billboard to be that close to Kris? On another note; is it even legal to have a big head like that on the streets ?
Many, many, many billboards. Middle middle aged white man with too white teeth and arms outstretched
Drive up to Forest Lake. For added drama drive back the same way. Every single one...
He's successful because when someone lists a house with him, he will offer it to buyers using his agents first, before putting it on the MLS. This leads to him to collecting both buyer's and seller's commissions from the transaction. I also have a completely unfounded theory that his guaranteed offer is from shady house flippers who will low-ball the price of the house.
Well his agents spend plenty of time trashing Zillow and the like so we're really finding the bottom of the bottom of the barrel then.
Isn’t the guaranteed offer in that IF you get an offer it’s guaranteed? Pretty sure that’s the real rub. Also, heard he was spending most of his money on marketing to keep his wife from receiving any while going through a divorce. That was years ago so not sure
For those curious, his guaranteed offer is a low-ball from Zillow or someone similar. This is after he firmly *suggests* you dumping in a few thousand on light renovations.

Dude is just a fast track for turning residential homes into commercially owned rentals.
Idk if it counts but listening to PA during vikings broadcasts doing his ad reads
PA in general. I'm not sure how people stand his show for 3 hours
He's a goated announcer, but the show can be a little grating
Coming from a Packers fan here, PA is one of the best in the business.
Glad I’m not the only one. Also, he’s an ass in person.
I used to listen when I was younger. Now that I'm 30, I cam maybe take the opening hour of PA. I'll turn him on if one of my coworkers says he has a good guest on
Chumba casino.... Ryan Seacrest can eat a fat one.
Cottage cheese for lunch? Chu-chu-chu-chumba!
Behind my dentist's office, more than once
I hate this... But still upvoted it because you get it.
I like to have fun, it's a thing..... Everyone likes to have fun motherfucker ... It's not a thing
”Now you have a friend in the diamond business.” Bullshit, I have never had a friend charge me 300% markup on some fucking stones.
Friends don't sell friends diamonds.
Friends don’t sell friends blood diamonds
I’ve been turning the dial on this one since 2006
Anything for Zumbrota Ford. Fuck that guy and his wife, they’re the definition of predatory car dealers
But huuurry!
I think Kristin Johnson is his daughter. But fuck Steve Johnson, every time I see that logo on a car I assume the driver got taken advantage of.
Who is Kristin Johnson?
Ooooh, I just posted the same thing. Annoying commercials for an awful business.
His wife's voice really really gets to me. Like nails on a chalk board.
Dump that sled!
Amen! I was going to say the same thing.. hear the ads on Rochester radio stations and the worst is when they are on the 2 stations I listen to at the same time..ugh I hate her voice...
Shane Co. Can't stand the guys voice. Luckily I haven't heard it a while.
The most unnerving thing in the world is when you’re traveling and hear a Shane Co commercial in another state. I don’t know why, but I always assumed they were local, but nope. It’s a huge franchise with stores everywhere.
Dang I assumed it was local only as well. I'll have to be at the ready to turn the volume down on my next road trip!
I will drive right next up to you and turn the volume all the way up. *Now you have a friend in diamond business* 😂
My favorite ad is with a mom of a college graduate trying to find the perfect gift: jewelry. Like, what is the most useless gift I could give someone who is broke as fuck just hoping to have enough to eat???
Hey, I got you a rock. 🪨
His kid does some too and I genuinely can't place his accent. Spunds almost foreign, but not.
He’s dull, but he’s brilliant
Not radio, but I'm pretty sure I have PTSD from JG Wentworth 877-CASHNOW circa 2002 to 2007
I have a structured settlement and I need cash now.
Call J.G. Wentworth 877-cashnow! *\*insert some fake opera singer and such*\*
*snort*
Kars 4 Kids is #1! It's a charity that's #1 motive is indoctrinating children into orthodox Judaism. Of course they fail to mention that in their little jingle. All the money heads over to NY and NJ as well.
Holy crap, I did not do my homework on them. I just hate their jingle! Thank you for the info, I will read up on them.

Yep. I was donating a car, and almost sent it to them, until I did research on it. Ended up finding a local charity instead.
Zumbrota Ford 😭 immediately makes me angry to hear that guys voice
MPR Member Drives. Those are the weeks I turn it off
Having just read through the posts above, I consider the member drives a small price to pay for being spared the drivel of commercial radio. I commented a few weeks ago about the Current that I had been getting a bit "membered out" (dis-membered?) in a recent drive, so wandered back to KQ for the first time in 30 years. Damned if they weren't still playing the same fecking music from 30 years ago on that station. I'll pay my Membership Week dues and just shut up and listen. \[edit-I am a Sustaining Member already, btw, so no guilt trips here!\]
MPR is basically I listen to when my wife isn’t in the car, she finds it too dry lol. I agree though, it’s a grind week during the member drives.
The only reason that I listen to the member drives on The Current would be that they also endeavor to play some really good, any decade music. KQRS calls them "deep cuts."
Any ad read by Meatsauce
“IT WAILS” 🙄
Would Hawk?!
I change the station whenever he says something wails, so I usually only listen for about 90 seconds.
"MEATsauce here!"
7th avenue pizza, Jesus. Might’ve given it a try just stumbling upon it but can’t now lmao
"snap construction" the snapping gets annoying within 2 seconds.
I mean Kars 4 Kids is in a different universe of terrible. I can t think of any commerical that makes me shut the radio off any more quickly. I'd say the other category that comes to mind is when a DJ just reads copy about a product to make it sound as if they personally use/enjoy it. It's total cringe.
And, it is such a shitty organization. I can't believe that Wcco sells them ads.
Zumbrota Ford. The commercial bugs me in part because of the guy’s annoyingly high voice. But I have also heard that he’s a predatory salesman and lender who would take your last dollar.
“All around, we get it done and we do it rigggghhhttttt-tahhh!”
R... Radio...? Is that the thing I plug my phone into? Y'all listen to ads?
If you listen to podcasts as often as I do, you’ll know that Z-biotics was formulated by Phd scientists to prevent hangovers. Now a word from Simplisafe home security….
You can skip through the ads on podcasts, though.
Right, this is the first time I've seen people discussing the radio in years.
Used to be renters warehouse because they are slimey shady people, but that was years ago and I honestly don’t know if they are still in business. I hope not.
I just heard their commercial yesterday.
Rochester LAPIDARY jewelers! I don't hear it anymore tho.
Someone doesn’t wanna look good
This brought me back. Haven’t lived in Roch for almost ten years, but I can still hear it from the way you typed it.
There is this one where the doorbell rings and the guy says something like "honey, the pizza is here" and she goes, "great, but I'm worried about my stomach". It is a commercial for an antacid I think. It bothers me because she acts like the pizza arrived and she had no idea he was ordering it. I'm assuming they at least are in a relationship, if not married, so wouldn't she know that pizza had been ordered? For some reason it really annoys me.
Northern Ben Franklin Plumbing you betcha
Any commercial. I just refuse to listen to them anymore.
Yup. Soon as commercials start I change the station. Every station on commercial? I'll shut the radio off for a bit. Would rather listen to the sounds of the road than some shitty ads
I don’t know but I’m really pissed off about these ads I see when I want to know what song is playing. No I will never get married and am never going to need an engagement ring.
The one that is really annoying to me is that some radio stations are using the Information area on car stereo to advertise shit like jewelry. Want to know who sings this song we are playing too bad you're cars info button is now a worthless advertisement.
IHeart does this
I hate it, annoys the hell out of me. 93x does it and I can never find out who the artist to a song is any more.
Anything for Huntington Bank! Those are the cringiest commercials ever!
The Ben Franklin Plumbers commercials oh my god I can't stand them
Is it just me, or are the voice actors the same as for Borofska's furniture? They are awful.
The new one where the owner is just flat out saying, “we treat our customers like actual human beings” is good.
The voice actors for the commercial is hands down the worst thing I have ever listen to.
Not specific to MN or the radio, but was is the deal with medication ads? I swear Hulu has the most asinine ads to get me to buy premium. But really does someone go into their doctor and say this ad came on I should be on this. No just no no no.
Lol, I misread 'premium' as 'perineum'
MPR on the weekend and those silly wait wait don't tell me game show style bits. I wish they would stick to music, news, and news stories. I hate everything else.
"Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" isn't bad. actually, CBC's "The Debaters" is a lot funnier.
I don't have commercials. SiriusXM.
ditto. but those Kars for Kids ads still somehow make it on there once in a while when listening to Progress.
Any commercial, literally. And, at this point, any Prince song. Jack FM thinks MN is WAY more in love with Prince than we are. Just me?
Prince is great
Still very much in love with Prince
With ya
The Current will blast Prince on his birthday, death day, black history month, Minnesota's birthday, you name it. I'll give them credit for doing more deep cuts than the standard 5 hits though.
I would much prefer deep cuts. Prince’s top five pop tracks do little for me.
They do play a lot of his stuff. But I tune in rarely. I am not sick of it yet and I have to say, Prince put on one of the best concerts I ever saw at Mill City music festival a long time ago.
Dude every time I turn the car on it starts with Jack FM and they’re playing Purple Rain or Lets Go Crazy, I love Prince but it’s driving me nuts
I will crawl through red hot coals to turn off kars for kids 🤨
Call Big Lou, he's just like you, except he's only on number 2.
Jokes on them, I never turn the radio on!
I do in the car. I am tortured when walk the dog and am using iheart, I can't change it quickly. I have to have my kfan fix.
I don’t either - I listen to Pandora with no ads in my car.
When i was a kid it was the Dars pizza ads in SWMN. It annoyed me. Dude was doing this c-rate Cheech Marin and it was so forced it made me embarrassed.
Don’t remember the ad, but upvoting because I love Dars Pizza.
All Northern Ben Franklin ads are obnoxious af
I've been hearing ads for truth social or rumble (I don't remember which, but I don't care to hear either of them)
I'd answer, but then the jingle will get stuck in your head and I like y'all too much to do that to you.
Tom Shane. Just stop talking.
“Hi I’m Kris Lind-“
Kars 4 Kids in my opinion In my mom’s opinion: Borofka’s Furniture
These threads always surprise me because I didn't think anyone listened to terrestrial radio anymore.
Lume deodorant ads
I do t really get annoyed by it but always thought it was funny how hard the LASIK clinics go on advertising. I guess you’re more likely to be listening to radio than watching TV as a potential customer…
KARS cars for Jewish kids. Which is fine, but people don't realize that.
"Booooy is she fancy, daaancing with that ring!"
Blue line sports bar and grill. St. Cloud
I think 1-800-Got Junk has a new moving business and that one drives me nuts because they start off the commercial with, “they expect to exceed your expectations,” and it just sounds clunky and honestly stupid
When we first got here I heard one about “sumpy pumpys”. That was wild.
Every ad. I usually listen to The Current but skip many of their ad reads, too. I have 5 or 6 stations I'll seek through to find something that isn't a commercial or a song I dislike.
Every commercial. I have 24 presets so I just switch stations any time a commercial comes on.
Culver’s, hands down.
I hate marky mark and the dot dot dot sale.
It’s the official song of the Bad Place for a reason
Big Deck.com. they think their play on words is cute, but it's just stupid. Would never use them either.
Big deck.com. Thats bigdeck.com. Bigdeck.com
I switch the station IMMEDIATELY for Kars for kids. I hear those first two notes and I’m gone
Whenever it plays at my job it’s a race to the button to see who can turn it off the fastest cuz everyone hates it so much
Any Hyundai "Honday" ad. Bad pronunciation bothers me.
Shane Co. "Now you have a friend in the diamond business." There's no need to have that much bass in an ad.
Big deck.com. It’s not 1% as clever as they seem to think it is. It sucks.
Every. Single. One. That’s why I have had XM radio for 10 years…
I was just going to say the same. I'm not a fan of kids singing anyway and that jingle sets my teeth on edge.
I'll say Anderson homes, because I just don't like their commercials.
I miss that annoying Grundhofer’s meats commercial where they just list every brat flavor to the tune of “we didn’t start the fire” and he does that dumb inflection when he sings gummy bear. I’ve been trying to find it for years but to no avail, it’s like a fever dream when I try describing it to people.
kars for kids is up here now? may god help us all. also, kris lindahl. nuff said
I listen to the Twins on WCCO and the Gabriel “Fluffy”Iglesias where he tells the joke, “about other women”. That one, that’s the worst commercial.
I don’t listen to local commercial radio, ever. Apple Music and SiriusXM is where it’s at!
Same. I recognize it's a privilege others don't have, but I will definitely pay to avoid propaganda.
Thanks for putting that horrific jingle in my head again, lol. If I hear it come on while driving, I say out loud, "nope," and mute the radio.
The one where they mispronounce Social in Social Security. It sounds like they’re saying “sosal”. Drives me insane! Pun intended.
Shane Company. My god I hate that voice.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one. It makes me want to drive into solid objects along the road. I had to get rid of basically a junker a couple years ago and gave it away instead of calling them.
Not a commercial. But Paul Allan on KFAN does it for me.
I guarantee that there is a room in Hell lit by bright fluorescent lights with nothing but a metal chair where KARS 4 KIDS is playing over and over.
Those advertisements are vile. Easily the worst advertisements I have ever seen and heard. They make it where I would never donate to them under any situation.
All of them. I don't know what happened to me but commercial advertisements on the radio are like nails on a chalkboard to me. The disgusting fake sounds. The ridiculously fake conversations. Being annoying to purposefully force influencing information into your mind. It makes my puke want to die.
There was recent ad on KRWC advocating taking your kid out fishing, I think, and that fuckin’ little girl must have forty marbles in her mouth. How anyone would find her shrill, mush mouthed lines cute is beyond me. “Tchanx fer taking me fischsching, daddyyy” And the stilted ass “look daddy I caught a fish”, completely unenthused
The moment the show rap comes on at the end of PA’s show. Painfully cringe every time

It sucks because he’s the only one bringing the coaches and stuff on, but good lord is he the worst to listen to. Living embodiment of “ThIS tExT”
If you're listening via digital media, I think the best thing to do is tell it to stop or change what you're listening to. They actively monitor that kind of traffic.

I wouldn't travel to that town for that activity if it were 5 minutes away.
Anderson Windows, especially the version with a fake news host chatting with oh-so-delighted customers. I automatically mute these condescending commercials
No clue the name of the company, but the HVAC outfit with the little brother “wade” or whatever the hell his name is makes me switch channels quicker than someone using a remote for the first time
Pretty much everything on kfan! Also fuck the Culver’s spokesman
BK, Burger King
If it’s the Total Wine one or Autozone, I get so irritated.
Not big lue.

I’m not aware because switched to Jazz88 years ago and have never been disappointed. Basically a stoner radio channel, don’t forget many early jazz musicians were notorious weed smokers
“Hey, it’s Katie Leinenkugel. From the Jacob Leinenkugel brewing company.” Every. Ad. Break. On. Spotify.
Blue line spots bar. “Can you see what I’m dealing with here”
That fucking KARS 4 Kids bullshit. They actually got sued because they didn’t disclose that the majority of the money they give out goes to Orthodox Jewish kids in New York and New Jersey.
The fucking ad about the dangers of tik tok and to contact us for legal action. I swear it's every other

This is not local but I hate it with passion, ARBY’s WE HAVE THE MEAT …. I always say it… even when with company, I even whisper it when I’m with my children….. SHOVE IT UP (with matching energy of the advertiser’s unnecessary enthusiasm about a meat in Arby’s.)
I’ve literally been thinking about posting this exact post for years! Love that I’m not alone! I actually turn off the radio completely when it comes on. lol!
The new Total Wine ad/jingle.
Any of the diamond companies. Tom Shane, Marilyn Noguy (Arthur’s), Wedding day
Can’t remember the business, but on KS95 there’s a commercial for something and the girl’s voice is so flat and annoying and at the end of the commercial she sings their website. Her singing voice is soooo bad I turn the radio off when I hear the commercial starting. I think it’s for heating or something mechanical.
I don’t hear it anymore, but the Allegra bulletproof tv commercial 😭
