This glorious magnum opus has been on our local ESPN radio station for some time.

The video doesn't do it justice, as it repeats twice.

This. This commercial. It plays pretty much every other commercial break on like every channel here in New York.

Hey hey!

I knew this looked familiar.

I like Cleveland's version better.

Hey Chase, change your stupid theme song. I must have literally heard it about 300 times by now.

On apparently every station around here there are two sets of double State Farm ads with the stupid jingle played by some guy with a guitar in various ways, with various lyrics. Since each individual one lasts 15 seconds and SF buys 30 seconds of airtime, they are played BACK TO BACK whenever they come on. Constantly. So after the first two come on (back to back), I know I'm going to hear the second two in the next commercial break. Without fail.

Gary Busey started doing ads for a car dealership here in Houston, which is funny because when I youtubed it I saw he had done some for another dealership in Pittsburgh. Guy gets around.

Ahahahaha it's so terrible!

Next gripe, and this is more audio than visual: The new trend of "Wacky Quiz Show Ads". Case in point: Netflix.

"What is blue plus seventeen?"
"A taco salad."

*DING*

"If pigs can fly, what can dogs do?"
"My taxes."

*DING*

And so on.

There's a local restaurant that ripped off the exact same format and it's really diluted and derivative.

Seriously, gently caress these. It sounds like a bad Kids in the Hall sketch.

On the other side, there's an ad I can't find on Youtube for the local Worlds of Fun theme park, which is a family sitting around the table communicating in screams. Fun.

This ad airs for a San Francisco theme park as well. It sucks especially because every family member in the ad has a weird face.

This has been stuck in my head all loving day. If only there was some way for your TV to tell the station which provider it is already signed up with, so it can broadcast some other ad.

The most annoying part for me is the guy near the end who tries to sing super low and it stands out SO BAD.

Is there some context to the iPhone ad with the guy who only speaks in single words that I am missing?

Not much. John Malkovich (the guy) talks in a slow and subdued manner and it's part of what makes his acting distinctive.

I never noticed this in Southern California, but in Northern California, whether I'm watching Hulu or network TV, I get ads from Honda/Chevy, Sleep Train, Citibank, and very little else. It's starting to drive me batty. Do service providers (I have the same provider for TV and Internet) control which ads are shown?

If I could go five minutes without seeing trailers for "A Haunted House", that would be great.

I shouldn't have a loving trailer for a really lovely parody movie memorized.

"Where your furniture, cuz?"
"Connect the lines..."
"TIC TAC TOE IN YOUR FACE!!!"
"Yeah, I kicked you in your ghost-balls!"

Thank you. I didn't know it was possible to have anything but music stuck in my head until I had this trailer in there the other morning. I hope it loses a ton of money and ruins genre comedies for the next twenty years.

How about the allergy medication commercial where the guy is talking to a convertible? The first line is "I wish I could own you, but I can't take your top down because of my allergies" or something like that. I was putzing around on my phone the first time it came on and wasn't watching so the audio alone made me look up and say WHAT??

I did the same double-take and still do. Who the hell wrote that?
