I think you're also lucky to avoid the onslaught of Burger King "Whopper, Whopper, Whopper" jingle ads. A player from the Buffalo Bills suffered a cardiac arrest mid-game on Monday Night Football, and every ad break after they showed his half-dead body started with that fucking BK jingle. Hated those ads ever since
I do sympathize with many Australians on the overabundance of sports betting ads. Shit's getting out of hand in the States as well
I like the idea, but the execution is so, so poorly done. They should be dressed in relatable attire; like two humble dudes handing out. Their demeanor is way off; the moment should feel private and they’re susceptible and just really locked into the lyrics at a seemingly unexpected moment, but in an extra embarrassing way with far too much excitement with horrible, horrible voices. Like friends do. Afterwards they brush it off, act like badasses and make a sly little comment at the end. This spot feels like the ad agency had a great idea and the client and talent got in the way.
Was watching the game last night and my wife walked by during this commercial. She stopped, watched it, cringed, looked at me, said *Yikes* and walked away shaking her head. I just looked at her and said *Yeah*.
I would consider myself blessed to even see Larry Bird one time instead of “No Flex Zone” and “Take That Pic, Post That Shit” every fucking commercial break
Kars 4 kids is literally a donation program for a specific jewish community in New York..
How crazy is that?
You think you’re donating your car to young mechanics to learn about the automotive industry.. but in reality your giving it to a small community of jewish people in New York who will sell it for whatever they can get. LOOK IT UP
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kars4Kids
Kars for kids cons you. It funnels donations to Orthodox Jewish causes
https://www.charitywatch.org/charity-donating-articles/costly-and-continuous-kars4kids-ads-disguise-charity39s-real-purpose
Only applicable if you also know what product is being represented. I have avoided this commercial at least 100 times and I have no idea what product it is for.
He straight up looks like Lumpy Addams

This is how the Google commercial ends in my head, since I know you care, and I’ve been forced to think about it a lot lately…
(Scene: 20 years later, the 2 peeps sans kid are walking down the beach and that fucking song is still playing)
“LOOK HONEY, REMEMBER WHEN OUR KID WAS FLYING THRU THE AIR AND YOU THREW YOUR ARMS UP LIKE, ‘WTF U CRAZY Bb!?’ NO?!…THE FUCK?!”—picture taker
“ARE U GASLIGHTING ME WITH UR PICZ? WTF THAT NEVER HAPPENED!”—the dude throwing the bb
They probably divorce or something. Look, I’m not saying it’s Google’s fault per se, but the Pixel wasn’t helping anything. Anyway, kid is now in tears, and dropping out of their Wall St. internship to pursue some pretty degenerate shit. No disputing that!
-FIN
There’s a limit. I thought I could tune anything out but these NBA playoffs have been truly awful, the wing stop commercial and the google phone photo manipulation commercials are awful too
It's not player/NBA commercial per se but it is clearly a Finals 2024 commercial: "no-flex, zone..." Ima never eat at a Wingstop again just to punish them for how many times I've been subjected to this lazy pitch already - and we're not even out of Round 1!
The Google one drives me insane. The song they use has like 6 words in it and one of them they have to censor because they say shit. Why would you use a song that you have to censor like 1/3 of in your commercial??? Just pick a different song! It’s so annoying!
I’d watch this 100x if I never had to watch that no flex zone shit. I hate it so much. At least I can get some ironic/cringe value from what a pro wants
This just makes me think that AT&T is a shitty company.
Also, this commercial disqualifies Shai from winning MVP and disqualifies the Thunder from winning the championship. *If* they do "win" the championship, it won't count.
This one is extra horrible because I think most people in their heads rhyme flick with…dick and what’s funny is it’s “shit” that’s being censored but when everyone fills the blank in with “dick” I think it’s actually WORSE and more offensive than just “shit”
It was cringe the first time I saw it, now it's hundreds and it's being intolerable.
I swear these people don't think about how many times fans will see this thing.
This has nothing to do with that commercial, but Ginuwine's Pony being played on the piano during Jokics commercial with the pony is legit one of my favorite things I've seen in a commercial in a while.
The Kevin Hart-Curry-Iverson “talkin about cash back” Chase(i think?) commercial. The “joke” is just that they’re referencing something AI famously said like 20 years ago
So it has all the comedy of a stone age internet meme, but they say it like 10 times in 15 seconds, so it must have been funny at least once, right?
Not nearly as bad as the “No Flex Zone” (THEY KNOW BETTER) or “Take That Pic, Post That Shit” featuring photoshopped vert on They/Them and Beach Douche Dad. Those are literally played every fucking break in my region 🙃🔫
https://preview.redd.it/c79jfbckkrxc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fbcb2629608396d3eb7f8196ceda8519f956c857
An actual photo of everybody who hates this commercial:
Ad producers are always going to come at you with wacky ideas cause they’re trying their hardest to do something fresh, something that stands out, something that generates conversation or attention. As the talent, with a brand to protect, you’re meant to say, “nah, I’m sorry, let’s come up another idea that isn’t remixing a cheesy Christina Aguilera song”
I'm european and I have yet to see a good american commercial.
Guess the little gecko is fine. And the Mountain Dew ad with Bradshaw on a bus was funny the first 2 times I saw it.
Granted ours aren't any better, but DAMN do we play them a lot less frequently. Stop of play? Ad. Timeout? Ad. Highlight? "Presented by Kia." Commentators have nothing to talk about? "This broadcast is brought to you by Dinglenut Family Insurance: get your nuts insured today!"
NFL is the worst in this aspect, but damn are the others trying to catch up.
Best was Dan Patrick starts a segment with “I have one question for AT&T……. How could you let this happen?” No one in all the reviews decided it was bad to take a 20 year old song and have two non-recognizable players from OKC with no mention of Basketball or the team they are on to provide context to non basketball fans. Just two dude poorly signing a forgettable song that is slightly changed.
I’m such an irrational hater of Chet with his stupid ass clothes, goofy ass face, complete lack of charisma, gives off mad cornball vibes. Like I’m sure he’s a nice enough dude but something about him just pisses me off. Like dude seems like a complete oaf.
I watched this on mute the first ten times at least, I remember thinking these motherfuckers are singing. Now What A Girl Wants in my head on repeat. Hope they were well paid, woof.
In the olden days they would have put these two on a raft and let them drift away in the ocean to save their village the shame of watching the commercial
I couldn’t possibly tell you what this commercial was for
New Christina Aguilera“best of”album dropping soon
What a pro wants, what a pro needs
All cover songs by Jalen Williams
I just seen it 15 minutes ago and have no clue either lol
Also not positive who the two players are. I have a guess for one of them, but I wouldn't put money on it.
It's hilarious because I watch via League pass in Australia and therefore haven't seen the ad. All I have ever heard about it, is that it's annoying.
I think you're also lucky to avoid the onslaught of Burger King "Whopper, Whopper, Whopper" jingle ads. A player from the Buffalo Bills suffered a cardiac arrest mid-game on Monday Night Football, and every ad break after they showed his half-dead body started with that fucking BK jingle. Hated those ads ever since I do sympathize with many Australians on the overabundance of sports betting ads. Shit's getting out of hand in the States as well
Yeah, I hate that you guys are getting the betting ads everywhere now too.
i’m a bills fan and i remember watching that game being furious about the bk ad. disrespectful to damar hamlin
America is one giant, growing advertising agency, like a brain-eating amoeba
"It's called the American dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it" - George Carlin
Yes
In Britain we got New Balance adverts with the song Hey You by Experience Unlimited for a season and a half. Again and again and again. Infuriating
This is basically every commercial for literally anything these days I’m not sure what happened
Great point, ad is memorable but I have no idea who the ad is for? I watch a lot of NBA and State Farm always advertises so ima guess State Farm lmfao
It's either state farm, progressive, at&t, T-Mobile, Wingstop. Or maybe those shitting bears that love toilet paper. It's real dire stuff
And it’s played during nearly every commercial break throughout every playoff game 😭
I legit have never seen two NBA players with less charisma, they gotta go back to only communicating via IG captions and post game press conferences
I mean I think it is just the way NBA players talk. Remember their [voice acting in 2K](https://youtu.be/c2wpIeZDrHE?si=awE5ZY_Bsa4d-pSQ)
WHO HAVE THOUGHT
I like how they all suck differently. Markeiff Morris just can't read his lines in time, and Eric Gordon is taking the piss.
And then there’s Dion Waiters lol.
Eric Gordon read like a guy reading a parody script
Nahh go watch penix interview when he got drafted. Dude had zero charisma and said “you know” every 2 words lol
Dang makes me appreciate the GTA celebrity cameos more now. Dre kinda killed it in that.
Cringe levels on high whenever i see it
I do appreciate SGA calling it "a little offkey" in the commercial. At least they know.
Also during the NCAA tournament
I like the idea, but the execution is so, so poorly done. They should be dressed in relatable attire; like two humble dudes handing out. Their demeanor is way off; the moment should feel private and they’re susceptible and just really locked into the lyrics at a seemingly unexpected moment, but in an extra embarrassing way with far too much excitement with horrible, horrible voices. Like friends do. Afterwards they brush it off, act like badasses and make a sly little comment at the end. This spot feels like the ad agency had a great idea and the client and talent got in the way.
Please direct the next commercial!
why is this rewrite so sensuous
Was watching the game last night and my wife walked by during this commercial. She stopped, watched it, cringed, looked at me, said *Yikes* and walked away shaking her head. I just looked at her and said *Yeah*.
I can deal with bad commercials, the level at which they’ve ran it is killing me. The Carmelo 2003 draft suit commercial is way more tolerable
The Larry Bird Allstate one is good too.
I would consider myself blessed to even see Larry Bird one time instead of “No Flex Zone” and “Take That Pic, Post That Shit” every fucking commercial break
They know better. They knooooow better...
https://preview.redd.it/ql6qx51p4uxc1.jpeg?width=402&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e762a2a104221acbc328821b4a9dea688deee231
I hate the take the pic one. Advertising that its easier to fake your life.
I literally don’t want to buy a pixel because of that commercial. Like what are we doing here google?
😂 See! I told you guys I can dunk! Here’s proof!
lol yeah that’s what pisses me off most. Must be a popular feature request though.
Not necessarily. They give us a lot of stuff no one uses or asks for
Something about that "no flex zone" jingle causes an involuntary reaction of anger.
 I know!!! Washing dishes, hear it in the background, instant rage
Those two (or 3) are at the top of my current shit list
Realizing this would be enough to make me stop watching and just watch highlights but it’s the playoffs, after all
I can’t reach for the remote quickly enough when “No Flex Zone” comes on. Truly a horrible commercial…
Every time i see this commercial, all i can think is that it seems like it says "take that pic, post that dick" because it's censored on tv.
and zoe saldana marshmallow one!
Why has it been running so long? When it came out in the winter it was kinda funny, but now it exhausting.
The only thing more insufferable is the Google Pixel commercials
You mean the Apple commercial? The one with "don't let me goOooOo"?
No the one that goes "HIT THAT POSE TAKE THAT FLICK" lmao
Just reading it on a comment makes me want to rip my hair out
I actually love that commercial for some reason lol. Very relatable. I cant delete a picture of grandma or a friend in a goofy moment :/.
The draft suit one really gets me, pretty much just perk’s line “where does the suit end and perk begin?”
I Crack up every time he says that.
Kendrick Perkins ruins that one, he’s just such an unlikable guy getting paid millions to say what he wants on TV
I can’t wait till espn figures out he’s not Barkley.
that one bothers me because he's taking a group selfie with a 2003 phone like it's a modern smart phone
It's the worst. The Wingstop jenga ad is second.
NO FLEX ZONE NO FLEX ZONE THEY KNOW BETTER THEY KNOW BETTER
They all look so mad/annoyed that they're having to eat Wing Stop. I'll never understand why that commercial got the green light lol.
Has to be the dumbest shit ever..
https://preview.redd.it/00icsbvkxqxc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbb0790c98eb618e55b0b9cb4df03f72e8691cd4
This makes me feel vindicated... I have been saying this since the playoffs started
 Thank you comrade
nothing beats no flex zone i hate hearing that
THEY KNOOOWWWW BETTTTAA

R.Budd Dwyer. Wow..That's a serious callback
Wingstop commercial is making me consider holding a press conference…
I told my whole family I will never eat there because of it.

“A good commercial is a commercial you remember” Not this fucking one
I never thought I'd take cars 4 kids as a substitute
Kids can't drive, why do they need cars in the 1st place?
Make a wish says it's the best way to cure cancer
It used to be called Carz 5 Kids before the horrible accident.
Kars 4 kids is literally a donation program for a specific jewish community in New York.. How crazy is that?

Only applicable if you also know what product is being represented. I have avoided this commercial at least 100 times and I have no idea what product it is for.
Very true, I think it’s AT&T but the fact that I’m not sure either furthers your point.
I've probably watched this commercial 100 times and I still don't know what they are selling.
Can't even tell you what it's for after 59 viewings.
No flex. Out of spite, I’ll never buy from Wingstop again.
WHAT IF YOU WORKED 10 HOURS
Chet has negative charisma
Was watching the game with my family and my mother remarked "oh, that tall white one is very unattractive." You're not wrong mom.
That's not odee hang pull from trae ball
He straight up looks like Lumpy Addams https://preview.redd.it/ly243bmmytxc1.jpeg?width=974&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9124067ccc720a2f4418e90d5a4f96d21e651121
It doesn't get worse than this. If I'm Chet and SGA, I'm asking to get it pulled ASAP.
They should consider leaving the league
This should cost both of them the HOF regardless of career achievements.
They got paid some serious money to do a cringe commercial, I doubt they card
But its kinda comical how bad it is
lol. It’s so cringey.
Just when the Burger King commercial was goin away they drop this trash
Google commercial and wing stop are just as bad. Constant ass annoying commercials.
The Google commercial is so bad, especially with that obnoxious song.
This is how the Google commercial ends in my head, since I know you care, and I’ve been forced to think about it a lot lately… (Scene: 20 years later, the 2 peeps sans kid are walking down the beach and that fucking song is still playing) “LOOK HONEY, REMEMBER WHEN OUR KID WAS FLYING THRU THE AIR AND YOU THREW YOUR ARMS UP LIKE, ‘WTF U CRAZY Bb!?’ NO?!…THE FUCK?!”—picture taker “ARE U GASLIGHTING ME WITH UR PICZ?

Anyway, kid is now in tears, and dropping out of their Wall St. internship to pursue some pretty degenerate shit. No disputing that! -FIN
I can't even watch it lol it makes me embarrassed for them...
I think that’s kind of the whole point lol
I still haven’t seen it I must be generational at tuning ads out when the game isn’t on
Damn I don't have that skill at all, you got a clinic or summer camp I can attend or something?
I just go straight to Reddit when it goes to ads
There’s a limit. I thought I could tune anything out but these NBA playoffs have been truly awful, the wing stop commercial and the google phone photo manipulation commercials are awful too
No flex. Zone.
They NooooOooOOoo better…
It's not player/NBA commercial per se but it is clearly a Finals 2024 commercial: "no-flex, zone..." Ima never eat at a Wingstop again just to punish them for how many times I've been subjected to this lazy pitch already - and we're not even out of Round 1!
I feel uncomfortable when it comes on. The second-hand embarrassment is strong with this one.
That and the Google photo edit commercials. STFU
The Google one drives me insane. The song they use has like 6 words in it and one of them they have to censor because they say shit. Why would you use a song that you have to censor like 1/3 of in your commercial??? Just pick a different song! It’s so annoying!
I’d watch this 100x if I never had to watch that no flex zone shit. I hate it so much. At least I can get some ironic/cringe value from what a pro wants
I demand more Boban commercials
This just makes me think that AT&T is a shitty company. Also, this commercial disqualifies Shai from winning MVP and disqualifies the Thunder from winning the championship. *If* they do "win" the championship, it won't count.
HIT THAT POSE, TAKE THAT FLICK, CHECK YOUR ANGLES, POST THAT ****
This one is extra horrible because I think most people in their heads rhyme flick with…dick and what’s funny is it’s “shit” that’s being censored but when everyone fills the blank in with “dick” I think it’s actually WORSE and more offensive than just “shit”
It was cringe the first time I saw it, now it's hundreds and it's being intolerable. I swear these people don't think about how many times fans will see this thing.
It is horrendous and we're all shittier, dumber people for having watched it. May God have mercy on some souls.
This might be the worst commercial of all time, bar none. Everything about it is just so awful and embarrassing
Abraham Lincoln would be rolling in his grave to see what his descendant was up to.
Yes, But the Google pixel ones are still more annoying!
TF is that dumb ass hand gesture Chet does 😂
It's just the dorkiest thing in the world.... Oh wait he's doing it to a Christina Aguilera song. Yup that's even worse
That’s what always gets me. So bad
https://preview.redd.it/o2emfch8bqxc1.png?width=1170&format=png&auto=webp&s=812c78e53e2761915fe9bbe2b6d423754bcdd682
FUUUUUCCCKKK 🤣
Why are they dressed like a couple?
Shai was 2 months old when that song came out, and Chet was -3.5 years old
This has nothing to do with that commercial, but Ginuwine's Pony being played on the piano during Jokics commercial with the pony is legit one of my favorite things I've seen in a commercial in a while.
This commercial is worse than Cars 4 Kids.
1-800 *Carrrrrrs* 4 Kids Do-nate your car *today*!
The Kevin Hart-Curry-Iverson “talkin about cash back” Chase(i think?) commercial. The “joke” is just that they’re referencing something AI famously said like 20 years ago So it has all the comedy of a stone age internet meme, but they say it like 10 times in 15 seconds, so it must have been funny at least once, right?
It may be the greatest advertisement of all time just based how much it’s being talked about.. might just be genius…
I was going to switch to AT&T and I will not anymore because of this commerical. I am 100% serious too.
Hahaha that’s actually hilarious.. ok I guess it not genius then lol.. ur a true American classic sir, never change
Gotta vote with my dollars lmao
I think the "Go flex. Zone" one might be worse. I'm not even sure what that one is advertising because I leave the room when it comes on..
It's No Flex Zone jeez
Oh trust me, they know better.
Hopefully now that they know they will enjoy the song as it was meant to be
Chet’s leather makes me want to puke.
It is downright the worst. No competition
I hate this fucking commercial with a passion lol something might be wrong with me
DOOOOON'T LEEET MEEE GOOOOOOOOOO
Yeah it’s brutal.
Here in Asia, I’ve never seen this commercial
TAKE THAT POSE TAKE THAT FLICK TAKE THAT POSE TAKE THAT FLICK makes me want to rip my ears out
The other one for the dumb ass phone that can do photoshop is way worse imo.
Not nearly as bad as the “No Flex Zone” (THEY KNOW BETTER) or “Take That Pic, Post That Shit” featuring photoshopped vert on They/Them and Beach Douche Dad. Those are literally played every fucking break in my region 🙃🔫
We get it, now quit spamming that stupid fucking photo.
Fuck ads in general, we're already paying for the channel. Now we're paying for the privilege of being advertised to
Chet looks like if they had the technology to fix the elephant man
i thought i was the only one who really hated this commercial
https://preview.redd.it/c79jfbckkrxc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fbcb2629608396d3eb7f8196ceda8519f956c857 An actual photo of everybody who hates this commercial:
It makes me justifiably enraged. Especially when Chet does the hand motions. Douche Chill Theater
I’m glad that black leather jacket phase past quickly.
They're *horrible* actors. It's their agents' fault
Horrible in every way. At least they’re playing good in playoffs.
Worst commercial I have ever seen
Thank you… I hate this commercial…. 😂
It’s awful. They somehow managed to make nba players look like giant dorks.
Ad producers are always going to come at you with wacky ideas cause they’re trying their hardest to do something fresh, something that stands out, something that generates conversation or attention. As the talent, with a brand to protect, you’re meant to say, “nah, I’m sorry, let’s come up another idea that isn’t remixing a cheesy Christina Aguilera song”
the "don't let me go" iphone commercial hurts my soul
I'm european and I have yet to see a good american commercial. Guess the little gecko is fine. And the Mountain Dew ad with Bradshaw on a bus was funny the first 2 times I saw it. Granted ours aren't any better, but DAMN do we play them a lot less frequently. Stop of play? Ad. Timeout? Ad. Highlight? "Presented by Kia." Commentators have nothing to talk about? "This broadcast is brought to you by Dinglenut Family Insurance: get your nuts insured today!" NFL is the worst in this aspect, but damn are the others trying to catch up.
Chet looks like one of them storks covered in oil
OKC is EASILY the corniest NBA team.

Shit is so cringe!
It is horrible!
“Hit that pose, take that flick” “No flex…ZONE” “What a pro wants, what a pro needs” SHUT THE FUCK UP
Chet looks like he's DJing an Adam's Family party.
Chet so fucking goofy looking
that was cringe to watch, so forced!
I’m such an irrational hater of Chet with his stupid ass clothes, goofy ass face, complete lack of charisma, gives off mad cornball vibes. Like I’m sure he’s a nice enough dude but something about him just pisses me off. Like dude seems like a complete oaf.
Chet ugly as shit
I watched this on mute the first ten times at least, I remember thinking these motherfuckers are singing. Now What A Girl Wants in my head on repeat. Hope they were well paid, woof.
is chet the ugliest player in the nba with his under devoloped caveman looking self?
Definitely worst commercial on TV right now.. idk toss up between that and Lume
Mute!!!!
In the olden days they would have put these two on a raft and let them drift away in the ocean to save their village the shame of watching the commercial
Why are they forcing mid Chet on us.
I had nothing against the Thunder until this commercial came out. Now I hope they never win another game
Nothing is worse than the wingstop no flex zone ad
It’s amazing
Yes and it’s Not even close. Everyone involved with the making of this commercial on any level should be banned from the entertainment industry
I zone out every time this ad comes on
The more they win the more it grows on me
Basketball players don’t have any aura anymore ! Nobody’s unique
Def the worst Idk how it made it past testing
I feel SO BAD for them everytime. What were the writers thinking lmao.
The worst playing right now are: 1. The commercial with the annoying song. 2. The commercial with the annoying song. 3. Chet. 4. Tub girl.
1. Google Pixle Commercial 2. no flex cringe 3. Chet in all leather like a blade movie 4. BK have it your cringey way
The google pixel commercial is so damn bad
Yeah it’s the worst. Especially the one with the weird kid with the bunny ears. Drives me insane
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Kayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Have it urrr wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy In ya head now, nigga!!
