Why does the commercial say free free free everytime i try to file it say $40 $40 $40.

You are posting from Deluxe, which is not free.  Deluxe $40, State $40, Refund Processing Fee to have those fees deducted from your federal refund $40  -- adds up to $120.  You can pay upfront and get rid of the refund processing fee:

And:

WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY?  I WANT THE FREE EDITION

The information that you can enter in Free Edition is pretty limited now.  Thanks to the new tax laws that began for 2018 returns, there are no more simple Form 1040EZ or 1040A's.  Everything goes on a Form 1040 that has three extra "schedules" with it, and if you need any of those schedules, you are not able to use the Free Edition.  Using the standard deduction instead of itemizing does NOT mean you will not need any of those schedules.

If you qualify to use it, there is another full-featured free version of the software:

If you switch to Free File you must create a new account and new user ID.

There is always a disclaimer......about it being only for "simple" tax returns  (But who ever reads those....)

Naturally, your definition of "simple" may be different from the MBA's controlling what qualifies as being "simple".
