I've been watching a lot of sports on the Pac-12 network, and certain endlessly repeated commercials have become so grating that I can't hit the "skip forward" button fast enough. Anyone else feel that way?

I rarely see a Cal promo--probably because I am not voluntarily watching Cal games!
But the Mikaela Mayer commercial "millions of girls have been told they're pretty...." I think gets played 20 or more times during some WBB games. In fact, I have seen games in which not a single other commercial (other than Pac12 internal promos) is played. I found it vaguely annoying the first time I saw it, but now, I think it is threatening my sanity.

For those of us who can't get Pac-12 Network (DirecTVers and cord cutters), can somebody post the commercials so we can get the joke and participate in the poll too? I feel left out. :(

The music on the Dr. Pepper commercial is what really tears it for me. An ear-splitting guitar riff comes in right after the sappy opening line, usually just a little too soon for me to avoid by hitting the skip ahead button.

Here's the Cisco commercial, with a narrator who talks about "lots of things all waking up" while sounding like she is half asleep herself.

The P12 Network commercial that creeps me out more than annoys is the 5-hour energy(?) commerical with the singing fembot.
GO STANFORD!!!

The one with the pink guitar? I thought she was cute...but I might have turned off the sound. :-)
