ANNOYING CLICHES !

Think outside the box

If anyone cares,  "You got this"  ( I heard it made into a song/chant in one of the newer ads ) and "Game Changer"  are the ones that reallllllly irritate me   (almost as much as a smug millennial using  "So...."  to start every answer to anything asked of them on Shark Tank - but that complaint is for another web page )

Theme restaurants (Applebee's is the biggest offender but the others are starting to follow suit) calling appetizers apps.

The last time "the vic"  visited this bar could have been a year ago, it could have been a decade ago, it could have been 1985.  It doesn't matter - this bartender remembers.  Steel trap.

My dad mentioned something to me about this commercial.

Anytime 'my bad' is employed i vomit a little

"Own it," or, "Own the [something intangible]."

"Get your [feeling associated with the product] on."

[Verb] like a boss," or if you're GMC, "[verb] like a pro." It's especially obnoxious when they use a noun as the verb!

Where to start?

Mixed race couples of which more seem to exist in commercial land than in real life 

The husband/boyfriend is always shown as a dope and the wife is smart

A kid does something highly obnoxious like fling food or a colored drink all over the place and mom reacts by merely being amused instead of what would've happened to me or you "back in the day" by which I mean buried in a shallow grave in the back yard 

When a house party or crowd at a Buffalo Wild Wings is shown watching an off screen football game (all races and sexes equally represented of course) and they all suddenly jump up and cheer at once in an over the top manner usually reserved for your team winning the Super Bowl or the ten million dollar lottery

People doing fist bumps with the hand "explosion" after. Nobody does this. Ever. 

People in commercials always seem to reside only in very expensive mansions in very expensive neighborhoods

Don't forget how the show's detectives or private eyes or whoever the good guys are always hang out in giant rooms with these huge computer monitors everywhere showing all kinds of futuristic looking data at all times. This is normally when someone will demand "Enhance!" to make a survellience photo of a perp bigger but yet somehow not blurrier 
Which also brings up the cliche of the resident "hacker" who only needs to furiously bang on a keyboard for a few seconds before announcing "I'm in!" 

Vacay.   Took me a couple times hearing that to figure out they're talking about a vacation.  What's so hard about saying vacation?

The English-speaking world (at least the American part) is experiencing an epidemic of syllabophobia!
