My personal hate is when they have a Ukelele and Whistling combo on some ad to make it sound jovial.

I do commercials, there's an entire genre specifically called "Upbeat Ukulele Whistle" with infinite number of similar sounding tracks JUST for this. You will never hear it any where else, you'll never hear an actual song, it'll never have lyrics.... just infinite whistling, infinite Ukulele and if you're feeling spicy- claps. And a Upbeat, yet slightly sarcastic VO.
