The term is fluid and can change with time, but right now some of the most prominent traits of a hipster are indie music or dubstep, and overuse of cellphone technology and social media (especially those goddamn hashtags!)

Bushy beards. Thick rimmed glasses (black plastic). Vitamin D deficiency. Goddamn fedoras.

Trailers for sequels of movies that weren't all that great or just plain downright horrible in the first movie, I.e, The Smurfs 2, as it was ripped apart by movie critics and got a low rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and was considered one of the worst movies of that year.....

Hipsters were the 40's. Jazz boys. Also called "Hepcats" Source
And then there were Bobbysoxers, and in 1910 you had the Dadaists. |

"If you or a loved one died from mesothelioma (or fill in whatever the ambulance chasers are going after)"...Really? If YOU or a loved one died....Well, sh*t, chuckles, if I'm dead, I am certainly not calling you for legal advice!!
Smartass kids with milquetoasty parents who don't have a frigging clue about raising kids, ie Ikea's 'Little Leo'...I would kick that kid into the middle of next week. Any product relating to any vaginal malady. I am female, and when I need those products, I know where to find them...I don't need yeast meds/tampons/etc shoved in my face. |

Where do I start? Well, I have noticed a trend of early 70's looking hippies are getting popular. And also, sometimes combined, actors that don't blink. Make them quit staring at me to sell a Dariry Queen combo meal!! Blink you zombie hippie!!! Blink! Also the dried up actors trying to sell me reverse mortgages, gold or diabetes supplies!

I agree with Whitedog about the vaginal ads. They're unnecessary. We have been familiar with tampons and pads since a young age, and know what brands we like. The medication is also well known. If we have a question, we have doctors or the pharmacist. Quit putting this crap on tv. Same for you, Depends and Tena.
A complaint my husband and I both have is OVERLY LOUD piano music on commercials. Please don't ask me for an example, because I couldn't tell you. We're too busy diving for the remote to mute the commercial. Wasn't there a law passed about the volume of commercials? I see some companies are ignoring it. |

Any medication/pills/whatever that one needs a prescription from a doctor to buy. Why would I even "ask my doctor if .... is right for you" after hearing those 2 dozen side effects on their TV commercial?

- People swiping other people's food. No, it isn't funny. Buy your own damn food you pig.
- Smart ass bratty kids who deserve a good boot in the ass. When I was a kid and I pulled that sh*t I got the taste slapped outta my mouth.
- Commercials that try too hard to be funny. there is nothing more painful to watch than something that is trying too hard and failing to be funny.

DUBSTEP
What started off was a few commercials here and there has now become an epidemic. Now it's basically every other commercial. Carl's Jr. has committed a lot of offenses in their newest commercial. Slow-motion eating, hash tags, and loud obnoxious dubstep. Not going there anytime soon. |

Especially with medications where the side effects seem to defeat the whole purpose of taking the medication in the first place. Did I hear that correctly, this anti-depression med could cause thoughts of suicide? Isn't that what I'm talking the meds to get rid of? |

Talking babies. The super-imposing of people's mouths onto babies to make them have smart@$$ remarks stopped being funny about 15 years ago. Actually, it was NEVER funny. Also the CGI dancing babies. They've done this to death. It's not funny anymore and it's not cute. Get some new ideas, this one needs to banned.
Finally wasn't there a law passed on the volume of commercials? Why am I still jumping for my remote to turn down obnoxiously loud commercials? |

Those weird commercials that are supposed to be funny but you're not really laughing. Like the R-A-C "Are you checking me out" ones that seem like forced humor.

There seems to be a trend in car ads where they have young female salespeople in sensible skirts and cardigans. I don't have a problem with it, but it seems like it was some corporate ad decision that says that's who car buyers want to see.... There are just too many for it to be a coincidence.

One trend that I loathe is when stop-motion animation is used on humans. It just looks annoying.

oooooookeydokey, lk - ya got me.

You set the stage for the worst of the worst.
Think you better snatch one o'those Clorox Disinfectant Wipes and clean off that monitor, then grab an aloe-infused Kleenex and blow - make sure ya got it all out, before slurping from that cup of Maxwell House Coffee.
Single commercial pushing (sometimes not directly related) products.
Oh - since this IS a commercial, ya gotta set a good example - don't forget to wash your hands but, again, this IS a commercial, so you CANNOT do it in the bathroom...maybe more representative of 'women in their place':

Speaking of talking things that aren't supposed to talk... - Talking food items. Exhibit A: Babybel ad with the Babybel sphere "speaking" in that horrid allegedly "French" accent, or any of the recent M&M's commercials. In light of the M&M's commercial featuring Meat Loaf's "I'd Do Anything For Love," perhaps I should set aside special hatred for commercials featuring SINGING food items! - Talking household items. Exhibit B: The Gas-X ad with the talking perfume and antacid bottles. - Talking body parts, or worse yet, talking AILMENTS! Exhibit C, the below commercial for Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away, which airs during virtually every episode of Judge Judy. |

Besides talking babies, talking dogs and cats. They're all better just being babies and dogs and cats. I especially hate when they work their computer graphics magic to make their mouths move as if they're talking.
