Anything involving a partnership with Cars, Minions, of Transformers. I literally gagged at a Schick Razors/Transformers pre-roll ad on YouTube yesterday. Also, any ad involving "real people" making meaningless comments about a product just because they know they're on a commercial (looking at you, Match.com, Verizon, and every major car brand ever.)

like

The Smirnoff commercials with Chrissy Teigen in them. I love her, but they're just. So. Terrible!
