This season's annoying FSW ads. Can you guess...


Recommended Posts

I stream the Angel games via the FSW app, so  I don't know if everyone is privy to the annoying ads I rush to mute during Angel telecasts. My nominees for the three worst ads so far this season are, in order of annoyance:

1.  "WE RUUUUNNN THE ????????":  I don't know what this ad is for. Nike? It starts with a #metoo-like shriek. A shriek so shrill, that it can only be called 'shrill.' I don't care if that word is a no-no these days if used in the context of a female's voice. This woman's/girl's voice is just plain shrill. On top of the shrill, I simply don't know wtf she's shrilling about. "We run the _______?"  What? What do you run, shrill lady? The bases? The kitchen? What in theeee hell do you run?

If you must shrill, shrill in English so we at least know what we're muting.

2.  Chevron ads with the Bobblehead Thing from Hell:  I hate these ads. I hate the set-up. I hate the woman's voice over. I hate when she says, "Sea monster!" "I hate when she says, "goooooaaal." If face painting had a voice, this would be it. No wonder this awful bobblehead woman is alone. All the other bobbleheads hitched a ride somewhere else and told Bobblehead Thing from Hell they couldn't go to the beach or the soccer game because they were 'busy.' But really, the other bobbleheads met up and had a great time without her.

As a 2018 qualifier, I have to state that I do not hate her voice because hers is a female voice. There's no shrill component here. It's just a din on the eardrum. The voice represents the fat lady in the office who organizes stupid office stuff and then you have to worry about upsetting her if you don't jerk her off about how great her gross pineapple upside down cake is.

3. Volvo:  A fairly new entry. Lots of door slamming and banging. We get it. You're boxy, and have doors that shut. Hoo-f'ing-ray. If that's your differentiator in the crowded car market you're toast. Stop!

As bad as they are, they supply a needed respite from Goober's monotone verbal analysis of nearly every pitch.   Fortunately (like today) Extra Innings sometimes selects the opponents feed where the color guy doesn't psychoanalyze every pitch...although the Detroit threesome was pretty chatty today.
