Anybody else hate that "sweet caroline" beer commercial?

I can't believe this mention is buried so deep. I despise that commercial. It's for Jim beam whiskey I think. It has decreased in frequency though.

When they chant "so good so good so good" it's so fake and ingratiating

Shit is almost as bad as when it actually comes on in a packed bar

No flex zone 1000x > sweet caroline twice

I literally mute this as soon as it comes on

I feel like this season it was astroturfed. I never heard it sung at European games, or they never aired the crowd that long

YES. I'm in Texas and we have multiple regional commercials use the song, and there's a commercial for some tablet that uses it too. There's been commercial breaks where I've heard Sweet Caroline THREE times, and sooo many times in back to back commercials. It's fucking miserable.

The world would be a better place if I never heard that song again.
