Why do mobile device manufacturers and data providers have such terrible commercials? Most of them are far more dull than other ads you see for other products. They're all either all flash and no substance or they're just plain stupid. Even the ones that are supposed to be silly come across as forced instead. Their advertisers have no idea what they're doing. They're the most boring advertisements out there.

It's not like there are no good advertisement pros out there, either. Many companies have great advertising departments. Insurance providers, for example, often tend to have very entertaining ads. Geico's advertising department is legendary, with many of its ads becoming popular memes.

And before any of you tell me to just get AdBlock or something similar, this applies to all forms of advertising, not just the ones on the internet. There is no AdBlock for things like television, printed materials, or highway billboards.
