    Never thought of that one. But I agree, they still look like chit. Always have, always will.

    I think we have a winner here. Never realized that this was Kid Rock. I thought it was just some annoying talentless hack hired to provide a clichéd soundtrack for Chevy. Just stick sharp pencils in my ear, why don't ya?

    The Discover Card commercial about frog/fraud protection. Absolutely stupid.

    That's who that is?? Figures! Every time I hear it I am reassured that I have made a good decision by never buying another GM product again. This song just sounds like the white-trashiest white trash that I've ever heard

    I looked in the mirror and I saw what I didn’t want to see. The truth. I was 50 pounds overweight. It was a rough day

    Lately......MORE AND MORE OF THEM. Too much dumbing down. My candidates - Cox Cable, AT&T, and before Shark Week, the batch of those.

    Just thought about this one - there is a law firm who is giving clients a "break" and only taking 19%. Shame they can't come out and say how much they REALLY screw their clients.

    I dunno if commercials are any more "dumbed down" than they've ever been. Ads have always been pretty idiotic...

    AGREE! I see/hear this and the latest Luna commercial six times per game during broadcasts of my home team. Now I know where the mute button is.

    I could really do without the dancing robots in that Cadillac commercial. Damn car is ugly and no number of dancing robots can change that.

    T-Mobile announced today the "framily" plans are gone. I hope those damn commercials are gone too. One of the dumbest set of commercials I have ever seen.

    Yeah - Sprint. See how effective their ad was? I can't even remember which company it was for. :laugh:

    Yes, that's another Apple one. Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like it-actually find it a bit creepy...

    The DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket "most powerful fan" ads. Especially the one where the guy is tearing up the pavement while he talks about how he'll watch the game under the table while having lunch with 'my lady.' You can only hope she sticks a fork in his hand and dumps him on the spot for being such a boor.

    Not real fond of the Japanese luxury car ad touting the backup warning/braking capability. The lady is backing out of her driveway and can't see a freakin' school bus, so the car has to brake for her. How can you miss the biggest, yellowest thing on the highway?

    A couple of decades ago there was television commercial for one of the major brands of peanut butter. In it, a woman shopper in a supermarket aisle demonstrated the freshness of the product by taking a jar off the shelf, unscrewing the lid, and sniffing the peanut butter. The advertising agency eventually realized the appalling implication, and hastily inserted the sound of a cash register ring just before the woman opens the jar.

    The CBC fall preview commercials on any station I turn to. "Are you ready, Are you ready!!!!"...... Rush for the remote and mute.

    This recent commercial makes me laugh and cringe, both at the same time, as the guy's replies are funny, but the wife makes me want to scream.

    I hate when they cram advertisements inti every related to a sporting event.
    " This first down brought to you by Mentos, the freshmaker"

    "This pitching change is brought to you by McDonalds, Im lovin it"

    DOES EVERYTHING need a sponsor? Really? Even when the game is on they are still force feeding you sponsors and ads. Just stfu already and talk about the game.
    How much longer until we see sponsors on uniforms? Its already been done in NASCAR and several other sports.
