Since there is not much else to do now but wait to see about transfers or players leaving, I am going to list the top 3 annoying commercials that they played over and over during the tourney and Final 4.

1. Coke with the wearwolf girl. Well I think that's the idea although the guy turns more into like a hoved animal. What is the message? You find your match by drinking vanilla coke. For me I have no desire to drink vanilla coke watching this.
2. Anything with Lilly. Nothing seems funny and I more often forget what they are even trying to sell.
3. That one with the woman dropping her phone, sort of with the annoying talk music.

I do like but after a while it is too much the ones with Barkley, Spike, etc. The one with Magic though is weak, the one with Bird isn't bad, the one in Annapolis is good. But, what are they selling again????
Hip Hop Tag team is probably the best one for Geico.

Thoughts? Yours?

I'm not sure why Aflac thought it was a good idea to laugh at accident victims in body casts and neck braces. Just seemed a little odd.

I don't get Coke bringing out the Halloween like theme to March Madness. That one is under my age range obviously.

Lilly's "humorous basketball takes" were brutal.

I want the AT&T customer to be Hakeem Olajuwon and see how David Robinson's "security" stacks up. We all saw how it went down for real-might as well have fun in the ad.

The Pet Shop Boys Opportunities with the guy singing along and then a hood ornament coming to life to sing is engrained in my head.

everything with Barkley is hilarious, although they do eventually get old! Lilly, OTOH, I could watch her all day. Just needs to be wearing something tighter and more sheer!!

Do not get the weird vanilla coke monsters or the singing hood ornament.....

I thought the Dove commercial that said to celebrate black men off the court was almost always followed by a commercial of a black male athlete representing another company lol.

Lily from At&T used to be super hot, and then she was harassed online for her hotness to the point that she didn’t want to do the ads anymore. They must have paid her more money because she’s now back shlepping the product. She hides behind the counters and desks as part of the deal.

I love the AirBnb commercial with the country song. Mainly because it’s a good feel song

For me it was all the promos of the “Chad” TV show. All the other ones OP mentioned were horrendous as well. Also, the site I was streaming all the games on I guess the guy streaming it is from Arizona, and there was this political ad that kept playing that was like “didn’t you get so tired of all the political ads last year?...yeah?...well here’s our political ad where we tell blatant lies that Democrats want to legalize voting for illegal aliens” Definitely targeted at the 60+ crowd. Also the one commercial with the auctioneer...”free and free and free and free and”...the Barkley commercials were annoying and cringey as well. I could really go on and on.

I can still hear NAPA KNOW HOW NAPA KNOW HOWWWW in my head from a decade ago
Ty SO much for that. Lol, I wasn’t glad at all that it isn’t still tormenting me 24/7. I always get bs like that & lawyer jingles stuck in my head. It can NEVER be Zeppelin or Floyd or something good. Now, that damn Rock Auto jingle has replaced it as my daily water boarding.

the dropped iphone commercial was beyond annoying!

and the new sitcoms for chad and united states of al couldn't be any less funny if they tried. they use trailers to draw you in but those trailers were brutal, boring, and not one bit funny and made me not want to even consider watching them.

What? No hate for the Jake from State Farm stuff? He's as funny and cardboard. The "stand-in" one is the only one with any entertaining value and it's Super Bowl leftovers.

I wouldn’t know what commercials played because I didn’t watch a single game of this tournament. Kentucky is not there so basketball is over for me until next season. I am so sick of the politics involved in sports now and all of the wokeness. I hope all of that stuff is separated from sports, especially college, next year.

Well that new GM Hummer commercial was rocking a non-Zeppelin version of the Immigrant song.

Yeah, I caught that. Surprised me bc you don’t see much LZ commercialized. But, I’m not fortunate enough for it to stick in my head. Only the dumbass, annoying ones. Lol
