Ads That Repeat All Day!

 Have You Ever Heard Of A Repeating Ad?, It Is A Commercial That Repeats Itself All Day!, Here Are Some Example Of Repeating Ads!

• The Shirley Temple Little Darling DVD Collection was another overplayed one during the 2000s and 2010s. It ran for many years, giving off the impression that no one actually bought it. Legends say that it's still airing to this day, on other networks.
• From 2011 to 2012, the ad for the game Doggie Doo played every commercial break.
• In the weeks leading up to the theatrical release of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, Cartoon Network only had one ad for it but loved showing it anyway, airing it once nearly every commercial break - there was at least one occasion they even aired it thrice in a row.
• As of November 2015, they love airing My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic ads every single break, even showing two different ones in the same break
• As of 2015, Boomerang constantly airs this promo for Tom and Jerry in nearly every commercial break. "What's the matter with that crazy cat?" ended up going through Memetic Mutation. This has died down as of March 2020 (to the point where it's rarely shown on the network anymore, probably because of the ad over saturation).
• Also, starting in September 2018, nearly EVERY commercial break on Boomerang, there is the same promo for Boomerang Theater and Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! until 2020, the ads for Tom and Jerry and Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! were eventually replaced with repeating ads for The Tom and Jerry Show (2014) and Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?.
• During the summer of 2015, one could not go a single commercial break without seeing this Twinkle Toes ad. There was also a certain commercial for Wendy's that played during nearly every break.
• In the fall of 2015, Cartoon Network spammed this Bratz commercial during nearly every break.
• In general, CN loves playing Chuck E. Cheeseads:
• There's a certain ad that opens with the line "At Chuck E. Cheese, kids really know how to birthdaayyyyy!" that CN loves playing during every commercial break as of June 2019. Yes, this includes commercials on the website and app too. Sometimes the ad will air two times during a single break.
• As of late June 2022, Cartoon Network can’t go without airing the Chuck E. Cheese Summer of Fun ad during almost every commercial break. They once aired it 3 times in one break.
• More commonly or not, an ad for Tyson Tater Tots would air twice in a row nearly every break from 2008 until 2010.
• During the November 16-17, 2019 broadcast of Toonami, a commercial for the Ham & Cheddar-flavored Hot Pockets played almost literally every single commercial break, with it being aired as either the first commercial or every other commercial each time.
• As of 2020, it's nearly impossible to go through a single commerical break without seeing the Frosted Flakes "Bring Out the Tiger" ad. It's been repeated so much that it's starting to become a meme within the network's fanbase, most notoriously after a poorly-timed ad break occured during a Steven Universe: Future premiere that lead to said ad.
• During a Craig of the Creek marathon to hype up the "Heart of the Forest" event, the top of every commercial break started with an ad for said event followed by the same commercial for Looney Tunes Cartoons. A Froot Loops commercial with a dancing Toucan Sam also played every break.
• Another Craig of the Creek airing on July 13, 2023 played a Teen Titans GO! commercial featuring the Doom Patrol during the credits, then immediately played the same commercial again as part of the normal commercial break.
• It's hard to find a person who watched Nickelodeon between 1997 and 2003 who doesn't remember the "Nickelodeon Magazine Please" commercial, as they played it quite often.
• One airing of the movie Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh had the same two music videos played during every break—a Victorious music video and one from It's a SpongeBob Christmas!.
• The ads for the Nick App and Sanjay and Craigwere this when the latter show premiered.
• After the demise of Nick Studio 10, Nickelodeon loved playing their "Wobbly" image spot, featuring Monsters vs. Aliens, SpongeBob, and Sanjay and Craig characters dancing.
• The morning preschool block loves playing Disney Princess and Thomas & Friends toy commercials every hour. In all fairness, both brands are very popular among preschoolers.
• Ads for Chuck E Cheese are pretty common during this block as well. Sometimes, two ads for the chain will play in one break.
• In the summer of 2014, ads for Dora and Friends: Into the City! kept playing over and over again during every ad break, sometimes playing three times or more! Not helping matters is that the one they repeated the most was just footage of kids screaming Dora's name.
• At the height of SpongeBob's popularity, Kidz Bop ads would play every single break.
• Remember this kid? He's the one who had a report due on space. Fortunately, he had the Encyclopedia Britannica to help him with his research, and back in the early 90's when this ad aired, that was a pretty useful thing to have around. Nowadays, not so much.

• This promo for Sam & Cat was played during every show on Nickelodeon when it came out, to the point where fans complained about it on fan pages for the network.
• Another favorite commercial of Nick Jr from the late 90's to early 2000's was the series of Frosted Flakes ads that featured this song
• Throughout Summer 2017, this Sketchers commercial and this Juicy Drop commercial were the most common ones to be seen in the channel's commercial breaks.
• From 2004 all the way to the early 2010s, the Nick Jr. block loved airing the ad for ZooPals plates.
• Anybody who grew up with Nick Jr. from late 2004 to circa 2009 will almost definitely have this ad for InCharge Debt Solutions memorized by heart. In its height, it could appear from 2 to 3 times in a single commercial break.
• In the course of three days, This Doll Promoting Cinderella played over 50 times on Disney XD and Nick Jr.
• A Rice Krispies commercial played during seemingly every Nick commercial break during the summer months of 2021.
• The Goliath game company is notorious for their ads succumbing to this trope on Nickelodeon.
• From 2009 all the way to the present day, Nickelodeon viewers were repeatedly asked the same question: who's going to Pop the Pig?
• Also more infamously overplayed were the ads for Doggie Doo
• The infamous Frosted Flakes "Bring Out the Tiger" ad, already overplayed on Nick's competitor, was also heavily aired for years on Nickelodeon. The same can be said for its 2021 followup
• Kraft Heinz being a major buyer of ad time on Nickelodeon resulted in the channel constantly playing a Lunchables ad featuring a pretzel Trojan Horse beginning in summer 2021, even more so as time went on, and sometimes twice in one break.
• Juicy Drop Gummy Dip N Stix have been a favorite ad of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network since early 2021.
• During Toon Disney showings of Garfield and Friends, Gerber Life ads (much like this one) would show up during every single one of them
• In late August-September 2012, Disney XD kept airing a Kid Cuisine commercial with penguins making a popcorn chicken Kids Cuisine and another penguin comes home with PEACHES!
• Nickelodeon went through a phase of encouraging children to eat breakfast. Through this lovely PSA. Every single morning.
• On a similar note, this healthy food-themed PSA played a lot during the earlier part of the decade, especially during the ad breaks between the Nick Jr. block's end and the resumption of normal Nickelodeon programming

  

• The public television station on Verizon's Fios TV still frequently airs this 2007 PSA starring the characters from Shrek in some channel
• GEICO Insurance will frequently air two different short ads back-to-back. Since Geico ads tend to be both short (the two together filled one "normal" ad slot) and clever (at least the first few times you see them), the end result isn't all that annoying.
• Allstate Insurance does this too. Two short "This isn't the time to wish you had accident forgiveness" ads are shown together.
• Many theatres, at least in North America and Japan, have about a half-dozen ads that cycle through in a loop until the movie starts.

• During the popularity of the Crazy Frog ring tone in the United Kingdom (where this trope is generally not as noticeable) an advertisement for the sound featured on almost every ad-break on some channel
• McDonald's has used the third variation of this trope, using three commercials (featuring Line Rider, a black kid in a white shirt having fruit blasted at him, and a girl inexplicably acting like a chicken). Another version they did was the "dad forgot the fries" commercial. In the first spot, you see a father buy food for his family and eat fries all the way home, so when he comes home, there are no fries left to give to his family. The kids cheer when he comes home, but become disappointed when there are no fries, so he goes out to buy more. End commercial. The second one starts the same, but this time when he comes home, it's to an empty house and his wife asks him "You did it again, didn't you?"
• The Twix commercial in Poland, which used a theme of "doubleness": "When you've got a break - take Twix! Double candybar - double break!" This ad was aired twice each time, one after another.
• Bob's Discount Furniture, a New England business with a tendency towards obnoxious advertising, pulls this a lot. They use multiple variants, too. Probably the worst is a variant that technically falls under the A1/A2 variant, but the only difference between the two commercials is the color of the couch. Seriously. They start the commercial break with an ad featuring a dark brown couch/sofa/whatever set, then the last commercial of the same break will be exactly the same, only now the couch, sofa and everything else are beige. The real question is, why did they make the exact same commercial twice
• There's a fifth variation-commercials which are, shot for shot, identical, except for the race of the people in the commercial. Two examples are one where you can get your Marines in white or black, or a commercial for some doll or other where you get not only black and white doll/mother/child, but an incredibly light-skinned Hispanic trio as well.
• An odd example of this version of the trope was a Cabbage Patch Kids ad for the Fun Bubble Baby line-up, which had two versions of the commercial: one with a female singer sung at a lower octave and one with a male singer sung at a higher octave that also advertises VHS tapes of Cabbage Patch Kids.
• The Health Hotline ads use the fifth variation, with both being seen frequently on digital subchannels like COZI TV and Buzzr. Sometimes, it aired on major cable networks too, like TNT did during a Star Wars marathon. Sometimes, both variants of the ad would play on two different ad breaks, like it did on one COZI airing of the VeggieTales episode "Lyle, The Kindly Viking"
• Pizza commercials are often shown twice in a row. Includes Papa Murphy's, Dominos, and possibly others.
• Anyone living in San Diego during the 2000's and 2010's will remember constantly seeing the ads for "The GIANT Used Car Tent Sale! At Qualcomm Stadium!"
• An online senior dating service has at least six different, very short commercials, and CNN once chose to air them ALL IN THE SAME COMMERCIAL BLOCK, back to back.
• TBS promoted Frank Caliendo's sketch comedy show Frank TV to such excess during the 2007 and 2008 Major League Baseball playoffs that one of the later ads referred to itself as part of a three-hour Frank TV promo, sometimes interrupted by baseball.
• [adult swim] loved playing Education Connection ads.
• My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
• During most season 1 episodes' premieres and during early reruns of the show, the same promo for Pound Puppies would air during the Credits Pushback, leading to one line in the promo, "Secret, but fun!", becoming a meme.
• During the premiere of "The Best Night Ever", the ad for the Gyrobowl kept playing during every break.
• During the first airing of "Pinkie Pride" (the episode with "Weird Al" Yankovic's character Cheese Sandwich), commercials for Chuck E. Cheese aired during every break. Fans were quick to note the parallels.
• Any person who's watched CBS on Saturday mornings since the fall of 2007 might have seen for Gerber Life every break, and can recite it from seeing it too many times. This applies not only to CBS—EVERY Saturday morning block at the time, as well as several  channels (mostly child  ones), ran this commercial a lot.
• NBC Kids loved playing the ad for Glow Crazy during every show during its first few weeks.
• In the NYC area, a Blinds 2 Go ad would play every single time as the last ad before Qubo Began . This practice stopped around the time VeggieTales was dropped from the block.
• This commercial for Sears Central Air Conditioning from the mid 1990's which would even air on kids channels in the middle of winter, sometimes three times in the same ad break! "What's the paper say about tomorrow? 'Nother scorcher! Cool!"
• Invoked by Reese's, with an advertisement mentioning déjà vu to represent the two cups in each package. The commercial is then played again.
• In the summer of 2014, many kids' channels loved playing this commercial for Monster High doll, leading it to be aired a total of 1,114 times in a single month, when other toy ads take months to reach that number of plays.
• If you watched PBS Kids from 2007-2009, chances are that you would have seen this ad for Ready to Learn play during every other break in between shows.
• A commercial for one of the Spy Kids movies (either the third or fourth one) would air twice in a row every single time, at least on some Canadian TV channels. The fact that it started with a montage of kids screaming "Spy Kids! Spy Kids!" didn't help
• A big example of this in the New York/Tri-State area is the Kars4Kids ad, with what possibly is the most annoying jingle of all time. On any given station, it would either play once every break or once every other break
• HeadOn! Apply directly to the forehead!" This commercial would be played often on daytime TV and cable programming. Similar to the Sapparo Ichiban example the ads were 15 seconds long and were often played twice in a row
• On DIY Network, an ad for Teen Titans Go! where kids got excited over "The Pee Pee Dance" played every half-hour during the summer of 2015.
• Back when 4KidsTV premiered Bratz and Magical DoReMi, the commercial for Bratz Babyz Mermaidz would play multiple times during the girls programming on the block
• For over a decade YTV and Teletoon seemed to use every opportunity possible to squeeze the newest Mini Pop Kids (similar to Kidz Bop) commercial into literally every commercial break. It got so bad that the ad for the Christmas album was airing well into January of next year.
• This Japanese commercial for the Morning Rescue energy drink showed up frequently during Puella Magi Madoka Magica, helping it become a meme. It was kept in on a number of fansubs because it was so awesome (and helped distract viewers from the dark nature of the program), and J-List even started selling Morning Rescue online As a result.
• Beginning in January of 2016, you couldn't watch any American kids' channel that shows commercials without seeing this ad for Yo Kai Watch at least once per break. It got to the point where on some airings of Baby Looney Tunes And ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks, the ad would play TWICE in a row.
• At one point, CBC seemingly wanted its late-night viewers to buy an Acorn Stairlift
• All of the kids' channels that play ads commonly showed the ad for Magic Tracks during ad breaks in the summer of 2016
• The commercial for Empire Today has been this for the past decade or so for anyone living in the eastern part of the United States. Anyone who lives there who doesn't have the jingle that plays at the end of the ad in their head is quite a lucky person. In Chicago, the ad plays every half-hour on channels in the area, since that's where the company originated. Some cable providers, such as Comcast will often overwrite ads during the local spot during the morning or late night hours with this ad, sometimes playing it twice in a row. Like the Shirley Temple example below, the ad spurred a Fountain of Memes in 2019 due to how frequently it was shown in the late 2000's.
• Universal Kids loves showing Empire Today ads. Unlike the cases on the network subpages where the love of the ads was due to the mandated local insertion slot (with the ads airing at the end or beginning of a break), the network constantly airs these ads during every other commercial break at various points. Sometimes, like during an airing of Caillou's Holiday Movie in 2017, the same Empire Today ad will play twice.
• This commercial for a PriPara video game repeats twice in a row, with the only difference being the anime characters appearing the second time the ad plays.
• In late December of 2016, this ad for SingHappy Meal toys played on every single channel that showed children's programming, leading to much mockery and Memetic Mutation on 4Chan.
• Speaking of compilation albums, Time-Life Ultimate Love Songs is another ad that's fondly remembered by avid viewers of Cartoon Network in the early 2000's. In fact, anythingby Time-Life could easily fit this trope.
• Lots and Lots of Trains is another one that began in the VHS era and showed up a lot on Cartoon Network.
• Any infomercial relating to phonics, such as Hooked On Phonics or The Phonics Game, was fair game on children's programming during the 90's.
• When Barney & Friends was at its peak in popularity, one couldn't turn on daytime or children's programming without seeing this ad for Barney VHS tapes.
• On TV Tokyo in March of 2017, an ad for PriPara: Everyone Sparkles! Glittering Star Live played during every show on Sunday mornings.
• Up until episode 23 of Kiratto Pri☆Chan, an ad for the Sumikkogurashi Nintendo Switch game would always play before the show started.
• Money's on the way, with CashNetUSA!" These ads seem to play a lot on FOX 28 during local programming. On one episode of Maury, the ad played every commercial break twice. There are 2 variations of the ad too, so if you see one during one break, chances are you'll see the same one, which usually starts with "When I lean back, I trust that you will be there to catch me!"
• If you watched Noggin back in the mid-2000's, it was impossible to watch any show without seeing this ad for DonorsChoose or this promo for the channel itself. Sometimes, the ads would play back-to-back, usually when the channel was about to sign off for the day.
• If you're watching A&E in late 2017, you'll most likely see an ad for Taylor Swift Now, an AT&T program. More specifically, this one.
• YouTube ads are pretty repetitive as well. You would see the same ad on like, three different videos. An ad pretty common to see in January of 2018 is ads for iPad Pro (Where is it you wanna go?) as well as the ad for Step Up: High Water.
• The WikiBuy ad was showed so much in 2019 that it made the Uncle Majic ad look less repetitive.
• Chances are if the Youtube algorithm detects a video as for kids, this particular ad will play before the video. It's managed to appear on everything from game walkthroughs, to animal videos, to Phineas and Ferb music videos posted by official Disney-run channel accounts.
• During the 2020 holiday season, this ad forGrubHub kept on appearing before many videos, leading to the commercial becoming a subject of Memetic Mutation.
• The Ion network would frequently repeat the exact ads every commercial in the mid-2000s for it's original programming shows like "Palmetto Point"
• The LAFF-TV network loves playing ads frequently for FarmersOnly.com, one about every other ad break.
• The More You Know on NBC keeps playing ads for all Free and Clear Laundry Detergent, almost every commercial break, and sometimes twice
• A commercial for a game called Pimple Pete (a gross game about popping pimples) has aired quite a bit during children's programming. It, for some reason, has a dude treating the game like a Let's Play, and at one point he goes "Ew, pimple juice! Gotta see that one more time!" Apparently that line was so good, the commercial always airs twice, sometimes even THREE TIMES in a row
• Many ads repeated once or twice per hour-long block, with the most common being a Kia Sorenro ad featuring music by Bobby Day, an ad for the TruMoo drink, this ad for Ensure, a Party City ad promoting merchandise for the Super Bowl and this promo for Huboom. It was common to watch the block and see all these ads play at least once, sometimes even twice (which frequently happened with the Kia commercial).
• On the channel WTOV-TV's Fox affiliate FOX 9, during the show Comedy TV, an ad for Colgate Total toothpaste  played four times in every ad break.
• During the 2009-2013 timeframe, this commercial for the Uncle Majic birthday party service(infamous for the misspelling of the word "The" as "Thc") aired a lot on NYC TV. The same likely went for this older commercial. There are even reports that the first linked commercial was used by some providers to overwrite ads on Adult Swim and BET, and other reports state that one of the two commercials was used to overwrite ads on Discovery Kids (prior to becoming what is now known as Discovery Family).
• This ad for State Farm was a staple of news channels like CNN and Fox News in 2018.
•  the Chevrolet "Real People, Not Actors" ads. At the time the campaign still ran, they were very common on A&E and during local news programs.
• The CDC's "A Tip From A Former Smoker" PSAs are very common on almost any cable or broadcast network that shows adult-aimed programming, especially during ABC's Daytime programming and on FXX, where they've been known to air during nearly every ad break.
• In the mid-to-late 2000's, it was hard to watch daytime television or preschool blocks on commercial television without seeing this ad for Orajel's Little Bear toothpaste at least twice. It was so overplayed that it lasted into The New '10s and even showed up during the ad breaks of The Daily Show  of all programs.
• In February 2020, MSNBC loved airing these Liberty Mutual ads every break.
• If they weren't playing Liberty Mutual ads, the channel would play this Planters Peanuts commercial
• In early May of 2020, this Rick and Morty Pringles ad (it's a shorter version of an ad that premiered during the Super Bowl earlier that year) played in almost every ad break. However, it is also followed by ANOTHER repeating ad
• The Hershey's s'more ad and many Air Wick ads are known to be extremely repetitive (especially during dusk to early morning hours), sometimes both playing as one whole ad break
• Children's programming blocks aimed at preschoolers like Nick Jr. and Universal Kids  show this Pull-Ups ad. On PAW Patrol, it always plays during the last commercial break. The ad has also shown up on shows not aimed at parents or kids like The Chase.
• As of September 2020, it's very common to see the ad for the Little Live Gotta Go Flamingo on virtually every children's network in both the United States and the United Kingdom, usually playing during every single commercial break. It even got to the point where it appeared on adult-oriented programs such as reruns of Friends. This constant airplay has played a role in it selling out virtually everywhere during the 2020 holiday season.
• Liberty Mutual is another common ad to see in commercial breaks in the United States. The ads for this company play so much that it's frequent to see two or three of their ads in a single hour, and occasionally twice in the same break. If there's anybody who doesn't have their annoying jingle etched into their head, they happen to get the most airtime on CBS.
• During a marathon of the first three Pretty Cure All Stars films on Kids' Station on March 20, 2021, the ad for Pretty Holic makeup played at the end of two out of the three movies.
• Hershey's "Christmas Bells" ad that promotes Hershey Kisses are another common ad to see on commercial breaks during the holiday season in the United States. It's been running for the past three decades, and they air so often that they appear once a break and occasionally twice in a single break. Anybody who's grown up seeing those ads during that time may still have "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" stuck in their head due to overexposure.
• Crazy Monkey, a local manufacturer of party equipment such as bounce houses and such, would often have their ads play twice in the same break. It has since died down.
• During the early half of 2022 (around the time it was made available on free-to-air TV via the subchannels of NBC and Telemundo stations), Oxygen aired the same ads constantly during their commercial breaks, including a movie trailer-esque ad for Babybel cheese.
• Ollie's Bargain Outlet, a bargain store chain in the United States, takes a liking to this trope any time they have a sale. Anyone who lives in an area with at least one location could end up seeing it twice in some breaks.
•  an ad for United Breast Cancer Foundation during every commercial breaking on Telemundo's daytime programming. Sometimes, it would play twice in a row.
• In the late 2000s, Canadian kids' channels loved showing this ad for Yop drinkable yogurt.
• Five words: "YABBA DABBA DABBA DOO MAN!" This ad for Fruity Pebbles has been airing repeatedly on all three of the big kids' networks since 2016, with no sign of stopping anytime soon.
• If you were watching the NFL playoffs in January 2023, chances are you saw this Burger King ad promoting the Whopper amongst variations for other menu items at least once almost every break. Because of their frequency, the repetitive opening and the unenthusiatic vocals, it has become a victim of Memetic Mutation, with edits of the ad appearing not too long after it started airing.
• During the final hours of Teletoon before it became Cartoon Network Canada, the commercial for Barbie Cutie Reveal Jungle Series dolls aired in every commercial break, with most breaks showing it three times. It was even the very last commercial that Teletoon aired. You can see that last commercial break here
• Since spring 2022, it is hard to watch American television without seeing an ad for Claritin where you could make your day "the most wonderful time of the year." It is kind of odd to see a Christmas song be played at any other time of the year, particularly in the spring. In fact, the variant where one of the girls claims "it's spring" is the one that's played the most during the springtime.

Long List Of Repeating Ads..
