Today, January 23,2023, I was watching the Andy Griffith TV show. I enjoy the show because it shows a kinder, gentler America it is during the time that I grew up.
Right in the middle of this TV show, this horrible commercial “What the Buck” came on. It’s not a clever commercial as I’m sure Jackson Hewitt thought it would be. It’s very offensive and the fact that there are probably children watching a lot of the shows when this commercial airs makes it even more offensive.
I have someone that does my taxes, but if I had been using Jackson Hewitt, I would not be using them anymore. I’m afraid they will lose a lot of their business because of this ridiculous, unbelievably offensive commercial.
Shame on you, Jackson Hewitt, for allowing this to be aired ANYTIME, but especially the times that it generally airs…
I have 3 young grandchildren and I don’t know what I would say to them, if they ask me about this commercial when we were watching a show that should be safe for them to watch!
Not a good idea, but as I said, I think you will lose a lot of business it’s just coming up on tax season!! You have no filter on what you put on TV and I am dismayed and generally just sad that a company as well known as yours would put a commercial like this on TV in the middle of the evening, when children are probably watching don’t forget the adults that are outraged about something like this being aired!!
I don’t know what you people were thinking, deciding this was a good idea?!?
I’m afraid you have made a terrible mistake, because of this ridiculous, unbelievably offensive commercial also for having no filter on what you put on TV.

This commercial demonstrates the idiocy of J/H management. Who would ever want to put their most sensitive financial data into the hands of those bozos. Certainly not me!!

I can't believe that people bitch about literally the only commercial that doesn't make me wanna squirt sulfuric acid into my ears and gouge my eye balls out with an oyster knife.
Really tho that is not a literal statement as of course I can believe people would bitch and whine about something so harmless as a god damn tv commercial. Bunch of old bags and bitter lonely pissed off people to be offended by YOUR OWN BRAIN tricking you into thinking your hearing something that your not. So essentially your upset because of your own education and social perceptions that is a cognitive reaction as had you never heard the word "Fuck" before the commercial wouldn't even trigger your brain to MISHEAR what they are saying. So basically you should be mad at whatever cultural and societal experiences from which you were exposed causing, for lack of better term, your mind to be in the gutter.
Really the one single only commercial that didn't make me want to drop kick my television and the old bitter bags of the country have to "save the day" and make everyone else as miserable as they with lives that have all but lost any type of value or purpose so now you resort to living out your days just you and the old TV (or as you older boomers probably refer to it as "the set"). Living the rest of your pathetic lonely days vicariously thru old actors and actresses who have already long since passed on THE one single thing to look forward to is "watching your programs" like the Andy Griffith show to remind you of a simpler time long long ago when a large population of our country was discriminated against and treated like dirt cuz of the color of their skin or when women were hardly treated any better themselves, or you talking back the good ol days like when your peers created the atom bomb and did hush hush secret testing on innocent pacific Islanders just cuz they happen to live in a good testing spot or when our government assassinated JFK, or MLK jr, or when the stock market crashes and the great depression or the prohibition.
Sure gun violence has undoubtedly spiked over the years but really things have always been pretty shitty outside the perfect little manufactured black and white world on your TV set. It's just now with the wicked social media plague and invasiveness that comes with it you just see and hear of it more. Besides what kind of delusional denial way to live is that just pretend everything is peachy and reality isn't real and just think happy thoughts and watch happy days and then I can pretend none of that other garbage is happening out there. Outa sight outa mind! But when you bring that damn reality into my television set well by George I won't stand for it!
Get a life ya old bags n boomers. Yay thanks to you now we get to watch even more colonial Penn and the other highly redundant overplayed 2 million other nearly identical life insurance commercials! Way to go you hero of the day you!! with how dull and pointless as a life you must have This probably made your entire year so you go grandma! You old bitter lonely senile wind bag full of nothin but dust and complaints... you go!!!

Wow..talk about a lonely bitter person. You either have no morals, young children or you are the one that created this disgusting commercial. Take a chill pill and watch some Andy Griffith. It'll do you good on your outlook on life.
