Annoying commercials have been in existence since TV began. Remember the Wazzupppp commercials for example? They do that to get your attention, negative or positive so that you see the commercial, even if you hate it, you now are talking about it and paid attention to it, even if it was subconsciously.
I loved the Wazzupppp commercials. My 6th grader made me a lizard-like sculpture in Art class with a big old tongue sticking out - we always laughed together at those commercials. We never found it annoying, negative or hated it, subconsciously or otherwise. He’s all grown now and every once in awhile, we’ll say “Wazzupppp!” when he walks in the door or when we call each other just for the fun of it.

My point was that some people might find that commercial annoying, just like you don't like the one you are referring to. I remember some commercial that sang some annoying song a couple years ago, but just because I didn't like it, doesn't mean everyone did. It aired for a while, so I guess it was successful. Regardless, most marketing companies that do ads for various businesses, tend to follow the same playbook, which is why you see commercials that get attention in one way or another.
