LL Bean - The most annoying TV commercials ever.
53 comments
The LL Bean TV commercials that depict two couples competing in a canoe race are the most annoying commercials on TV. The screaming that goes on are to attract attention to the tv screen which is a disgraceful and disturbing marketing practice.
We change the channel and definitely don't relate to these people screaming in the wilderness. This is what LL Bean products are supposed to represent?

Yass! Ugly company with ugly values (promotes hunting and fishing - itโs not the Middle Ages, folks, and thereโs no need to be cruel to animals), awful CEO, and really ugly clothes.
Lies about return policy, overpricing and outsourcing to poor countries for slave labor.
Once great - now another dirtbag corporation. Boycott these crooks.
Youโre right - the clothes are so ugly and seems the company has grown uglier, too. Ripping people off with low quality merch and then not accepting returnsโฆsort of a seedy Walmart sort of maneuver, not the sign of a reputable company. Shop elsewhere, people!!!
They are crooks and the clothes are now *** to say the least (ugly, too). We do not shop here any longer.
Hunting = you support this means it is a sign of corporate cruelty and a lack of morals. Same goes for fishing.
Totally disgusting. Will never, ever shop here again.
LLB, you just lost a customer with a wife, 6 kids, and 7 grandchildren. In other words - support hunting and you will support going out of business, which you should.
We have not bought anything from LLB since reading about the way they support hunting and fishing on this website. Thank you for opening our eyes.
No one should ever support a company that condones animal cruelty. Even tho' we sure did like their slippers lol.
Hunters and fishers are dirtbags and so is LLBean. My sister worked at the store in ME and told me all sorts of things about how they "recycle" returns (that is, sell them as new) but also deny all kinds of returns, too.
She said whether they are honorable or not is arbitrary and really depends on whether the store manager is in a good mood that day. Anyway, don't buy from anyplace that supports fishing and hunting it is awful and there are good companies out there that care about the planet and animal welfare.
Let's add that in addition to these comments that customer service is absolutely awful. Where do they find these poorly trained and often downright confused people? To be fair - they probably hate their jobs working for such an awful corporation.
I went to buy a Father's Day gift at the Bean in Maine. Online, the customer service at LLBean sucks.
No doubt about it. Seems it's gotten even worse int he store. I needed help getting my dad some sweaters in his size and I waited, and waited and waited after asking for help. Eventually after 15 minutes passed, I walked out after watching a bunch of employees taking selfies and chatting about what their plans were for the weekend.
Ummmm....went to Costco instead and got him some fantastic clothes at a much more accurate (e.g. not inflated) price.
No more Bean for me. What a *** company it has become.
I was going to buy sweats here but now that I saw your review I will take my business elsewhere. I will never ever support a company that promotes the killing and torture of animals.
Thank you for your post. I am going to let my family and friends on Facebook know this in case any of them shop at LLBean.
Agree! Hunting (and companies that support it), should be avoided; let's put them out of business. Kindness to animals needs to be the new normal.
I wont shop here knowing they support animal cruelty. Good work posting this - share this on social media, everyone - no one should ever support animal cruelty
this is disturbing info. Thank u for sharing. I will not buy stuff here.
Fluff LLBEAN! We will not buy anything else from them. It is great to know this info!
They are stuck in the past. Hunting and fishing are acts of unnecessary animal cruelty - inexcusable.
Thanks all for the posts. I will not shop here anymore.
Lost our business just hearing about this. My kids and I love animals. We will never buy a thing from these *** again.
Agree with the comments here esp. about hunting/fishing. This company promotes animal abuse and should be avoided until they change with the times and demonstrate compassion.
You are right on and I was just going to buy a coat from them for spring but now that I've read the reviews (esp. yours - thank you!) I will purchase my coat from another company that does not support cruelty to animals.
I am so happy I stumbled on this website. I used to buy stuff from Bean but had no idea they support hunting and fishing.
That's over now, and too bad, because I don't buy from companies that practice abuse to animals. Thank you for letting us know - I am going to post this on my Facebook and let PETA know, too.
Wow - hunting and fishing - that sucks - I had liked LL Bean but I won't buy from them again now. I won't support this kind of cruelty, so Thx for letting me know.
Bean should be avoided/boycotted AND let's hope and encourage that someone initiates a class action lawsuit. It's good to have websites like this but we need to do more as a society.
It is time to begin to take back our country from these kinds of abusive, pathetic corporate thieves.They are unkind to animals AND to human animals, too. Anything for profit, right? Enough is enough.
Corporate integrity matters. Bean has none.
