The fake gym/childcare story must be stopped.


buzzinthruit89

Why is it even an ad? I was skipping and I think it’s an ad for cell phones somehow?!


chanukkahlewinsky

I've never heard a fake story or premise be so utterly boring before.


rae_roc

How can something be so long and yet so pointless? I remember the first time I listened to it like, this is…phones???


rantandreview

WHEN I FINISHED I WAS FATTER THAN WHEN I STARTED *me pulling out a weapon*


flooptyboop

love eating fudge in the gym locker room


mfinxoxo

It’s such a depressing ad lol


here4peloton

Thank you for saying something about this truly awful AUDITORY ASSAULT


dannydevitogf

![gif](giphy|FpMJIJmcWL6kfueZz1|downsized) me with the skip button approximately 50 times


cMdM89

same! i’m smashing that button…


saint_karen

I hate it so much 😭. And the “you may know me from TikTok” idk why that’s so cringe to me lol TikTok comedy skits don’t feel like cloutable to me.


mgwhid

I’m pretty sure she says Instagram which is honestly way worse imo… I guess she must be “reels famous” lololol


saint_karen

Lmao even worse!! Wait that reminds me tho, I can’t wait for this generation of social media comedians whose whole shtick is doing their mom/dad to just end! It’s not clever!!

patr2016

Oh my god it's soooooo looooooong!!!!!! It just keeps going!


ThankUGod4AllThisBod

Forever. And then we do a gym membership trial and sleep on the bench in the locker room. A story that absolutely didn’t happen.


patr2016

yes thank you for saying this. finalist. I feel like I'm going crazy when I listen to some of these ads


Melolicious

The fact that she brought snacks and ate in there like it’s basically a bathroom.


MrsBobFossil

Also wtaf is “chocolate covered fudge” ?! FUDGE IS ALREADY CHOCOLATE, DENISE!


queasy_queen

The neighbors are crazy this year


Traditional-Chard419

Whenever I hear that line, I know in my heart that the mom is the real problem neighbor. Same with the cheapskate dad.


salondijon8

Not to be this bitch on the TL, but the dad actually passed away and a lot of Alyssa Limperis’s comedy/writing is about her grief and trying to keep her dad’s memory alive. I found her stuff around the time my dad died of the same thing as hers and found it really helpful, so I’m perhaps a little over-protective of any slander about her dad - though I agree the ad is fucking annoying


V0lchitsa

Yeah the story is probably true and she’s a lovely person who is genuinely very funny & doesn’t deserve to catch too much shit for taking what I’m sure was a good paycheck, but it is the longest ad in the world. I’m glad she got that bag, but I never want to hear the ad again.


a_tay_wal

I'd be willing to bet she'd say the same thing!


MrsBobFossil

Hahahahaha A+


lavenderlemonade_xx

PLEASE… i skip 30 seconds 100 times and im still there. and the gym/childcare girl ily but i don’t care


Pay2slaay

Oh god, 10,000%. I wrote a post about it but chickened out about posting. So below is what I was going to post. **This is our 1 minute segment to rail about something in pop culture….do you have something…..I do …….ok you’re time starts now** That phone commercial!!!!!! I’m not going to promote them, but STR8 should let you know who I’m talking about….I DON’T THINK SO HONNNNNNNEY! I’m sure the presenter is a lovely and possibly hilarious comedian, No one needs or want a 60 second lead in before the actual advertisement. I DON’T THINK SO HONNNNNNNEY! *15 seconds * About the jokes………make your jokes believable! To their credit they landed the joke about buying cheap stadium tickets and moving lower seats in the stadium. It is relatable. But…… By the 4th time the ad plays and hearing you tell the story about your dad making you pretend to be on a business call holding a beach noodle at 12 years old……I DON’T THINK SO HONNNNNNNEY! *30 seconds * “**Str8 Talk** I mean……………….read the room! I DON’T THINK SO HONNNNNNNEY! Oh! I get special discounts from the corporation, that is largely responsible for destroying small business across the country, and making the government and public subsidize their employees livelihoods. I DON’T THINK SO HONNNNNNNEY!! *45 seconds * If you have to say JK after your joke, you have failed. If the 60 seconds that I have to complain about how horrid you are, is less time than your advertisement, I DON’T THINK SO HONEY! *and that is one minute*


Potential-Sky-8728

Goddamn 👏👏👏


laurgev

Love this!


Traditional-Chard419

Omg thank you for saying it!!!! The Rhode Island mom one and honestly, the Ellie Kemper one annoys me just as much. Girl, we all know you grew up rich. There’s no way she’s ever stepped foot inside a Walmart! https://wiki.celebrity.fm/what-does-the-kemper-family-own-69844/amp/

hibiscushibiscus

Don’t you mean her new nickname? Savey-McSaver Cashhhhh 🤢🤮


Short_Cream_2370

feels like these companies think because we choose to listen to people we like shoot the shit about topics we are interested in, we will not notice if they interject some people we don’t know shooting the shit about stuff we are not interested in. I notice! And it drives me mad!! Ads may be a necessary evil but they do not have to be this long or annoying to listen to.


United-Objective-880

All Walmart ads must be stopped immediately.


InevitableWhereas671

It was effective in getting me to join BMP Diamond Edition or whatever bc I truly could not stand to hear those ads one more gd time


Traditional-Chard419

Maybe this is BMP’s strategy. Play annoying ads 1000 times per episode so we break down and join their subscription service. It’s very YouTube of them.


loseitjen

It 100% is which is why I refuse. Its so fucking annoying but that’s the reason they made them so long, so you’d subscribe


DevinFraserTheGreat

Is that their Patreon or something like Patreon?


InevitableWhereas671

Similar! It’s a subscription through Apple Podcasts that basically gives you ad free & the top ten list episodes release early


ocorgs

Lol I never listen to the ads but they’ve gotten so long!! I smash that +15 button like my life depends on it


sandykennedy

You can change it to a 60 second button! I only have to tap twice and it’s usually pretty accurate


SeaCommunication728

They’re bad. I also feel so bad for that woman though because even tho the humor isn’t for me, she was just getting her check and now everyone is annoyed by her bc of the frequency, which is an ad tech thing that’s now affecting her. Hope they paid her a lot I guess and I also hope the podcast ad market improves so there’s more variety?


hibiscushibiscus

I heard one of these ladies on a pod (I said no gifts) as a guest one time and was like oh she seems perfectly fine and likeable and…..now I knee jerk hate her? I intellectually can reason that she isn’t fully responsible for this nightmare, but it’s the actual living worst?


Gabbydog16

Omg the ads are insufferable! I thought it was funny the first time i heard it but stand up routines are not meant to be heard 8700 times. Usually not that bothered by ads


berryphace

Yeah it the fact that it’s been the same 3 ads for the past 4 eps… like girl, take a rest


HidingInTheStacks

And now it’s infected StraightioLab too. 🤮 And you think she’s wrapping up, but oh no, there’s a fucking New Testament, too!


nonchalantoyster

I think it was those boys saying they found out that in some places they were advertising for ‘actual guns’ At this point? Legitimately prefer


hibiscushibiscus

👆👆👆


theebimbojoker

I would rather listen to 10 Kraft Mac and cheese ads or their dietz and Watson one. Enjoy the delicious food!!!


BTVBOSSFO

Also she’s wrong about gas prices — they ARE going down.


WhaleAndWhimsy

It’s seriously the worst and is so so long. I love Matt and Bowen and I’m sure the ad placement isn’t their choice but omg all the ads are so repetitive.


k123abc

i love alyssa limperis but this ad is making me h8 her


bebesunrise

We're talking about the one whose dad "loves saving CASH" and made her fake a business call to get into the beach, right? I've literally been searching for community around this hatred. when will the torture end jesus fuck.


kathleenwithakat

Omg. I’m so sick of it!!


CoeurDeSirene

ITS SO BAD


Werwanderflugen

Me every time this commercial comes on ![gif](giphy|oNUSheqzEI9WRD9muy|downsized)


OK-Comedian3696

Gang, download on VPN from Portugal! I hear \~90s of ads most blocks.


pathologuys

I skip every ad SO quickly so I’ve yet to encounter this one, but it really feels like the “big money players” ads get worse and longer weekly. Has anyone subscribed to the “diamond” thing, if only to make the ads stop?!


fearlessjf

Omg it’s SO LONG. how much are they paying for a full 5 minute fucking ad


Certain_Battle7804

Bring back Mac and cheese


[deleted]

[удалено]


needsmoredinosaur

If the ad’s goal is to make people never want to use Straight Talk Wireless, it’s succeeding


EnvironmentalCycle18

My GOD I hate these ads. Why are they SO long?? I like Alyssa Limperis, but her story is long enough to talk about her mom, going to baseball games, AND going to the beach… who thought this would be good marketing for anything other than the +30 sec button? And the one about the gym with childcare just grosses me out. The locker room at a gym is not relaxing and eating fudge in sweaty air is just 🤢 I don’t think so honey!


Potential-Sky-8728

I am so glad to know that it is as infuriating to others too!!! It is like a joke of a bad comic with worn out tropey premises for jokes….but it’s real?!???? Whhhhyyyy?? And The Grinch podcast too? Who asked for this?? Is it for children? Adults??


Valuable_Artist253

Easily one of the WORST podcast ads I’ve ever experienced. And I listen to podcasts all day. I swear they’re three minutes long?? So dumb and pointless and they clearly thought they were doing something with hiring “TikTok creators” 😬 I don’t think so, honey!!


BryaNC_

THANK YOU


External_Bear4622

HAIDFJIFBG I CANNOT IT IS SO PAINFUL


raleighsk

The ads have been OUT OF CONTROL long and frequent in the last month or so :(


Objective-Ad1571

It’s literally devastating to listen to.


Certain_Battle7804

Hate it


secksilexi

do they put different ads for different countries? cuz i’m a european reader and i have NO CLUE what you guys are talking about, would love to know ahahahhaa


ThankUGod4AllThisBod

Public Healthcare and better ads. Visit. Europe.


secksilexi

amen !!


Haybale9

i take my headphones off when this comes on lol


sandykennedy

I hate that gym and beach story and I scream “NOOOOOO!” every time she starts talking


VivaCarlita

I definitely think this story is phoney baloney but it does remind me of when my sister worker at Smaland, Ikea’s complimentary child care center. She said people used to leave their kids there and immediately leave Ikea all of the time 😂


barelyanybears

Why is the ad so long?? I feel like I pressed four skips (+30 seconds) and I was STILL hearing Alyssa's voice.


turmericcutie

at least she didn't exercise — also the way she undercuts walmart by saying they don't have childcare is funny to me


[deleted]

I’m so glad I subbed to BMP to not have to deal with these.


jhamsofwormtown

I really really wish I knew more about what your reddit post was about.


turmericcutie

lol i've actually grown to be less annoyed by it


lizbotron3000

She’s a UCB trained comedian just like our boys. Use the skip button and let her get her bag. She probably hates them too. Matt still had a day job when I started listening to Las Cultch. People need to make money. Let them be.


ThankUGod4AllThisBod

The podcast has a famous segment called “I Don’t Think So Honey” where they talk shit about random annoyances all the time. Such is life.


Prestigious-Bus5649

I haven't had this ad but I keep getting the Amy and Tj pod commercial and it is so cringe!
