The worst ads I see are run during NASCAR races. The worst ads are the kind that repeat things over and over, such as Wal-Mart's "Match It" ad and, a couple months ago, TNT's talking basketball sketches they did for the NBA Finals. Over on YouTube, I do commercial mash-ups of the worst of the worst. Here's this year's crop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTDLDzLqWAQ

CNN's just started running a new ad between segments. "If you're sick and tired of paying every time you call 411, here's a new way to keep that hard earned money in your own pocket." It's like those ads where it's "Kindle vs. bound book." The pure SMUGNESS of the guy ticks me off. And, I'm sorry, if you actually have to think "well, I need to find my friend's phone number, but I don't know if I can afford the 50 cent charge," you REALLY need to examine the life choices that brought you to this point.

Those moneymutual and "indian version of moneymutual" commercials piss me off to no end just because of the business. They're essentially legal loan sharks and it boggles my mind how they can do business like that and it's nbd. Also funny part is in the fine print the APR is something absurd like %497 which made me chuckle.

They're essentially legal loan sharks and it boggles my mind how they can do business like that and it's nbd. There was an article on Salon some years ago, talking about the proliferation of those payday loan places and usury laws. The APR for a payday loan place far exceeds that which you could get from a loan shark. Legally, legal loans between businesses and individuals that aren't licensed lenders (i.e. banks) or pawnbrokers is something between 5% to 10% per year. In fact, I just found this article from 2001 brings up gangster Samuel "Wings" Carlisi, who ran the Chicago Outfit, until his arrest in 1992 for illegal gambling and loan sharking. The Chicago Outfit charged something like 260% APR on their short-term "juice" loans. But, it's perfectly legal in California to have a state-licensed lender like a payday loan outfit that charges up to 5474% APR.

So I've started seeing this coke ad for what I assume is an ARG that asks "What is the coke secret recipe? WOULDN'T. YOU. LIKE. TO. KNOW." Actually no, I don't give a poo poo. What would I so if I did know? Make my own coke? Also in a commercial for that Planet of the Apes movie they say something like "His abilities have far surpassed those of humans!" To illustrate this they show him writing his name with a piece of chalk. Amazing.

Also, has a Ferrari that he keeps in a glass box in his garage. Dude is like a budget brand Bon Jovie. Is he cool? He seems cool.

Audi is running a radio ad where some guy has come out of nowhere to sit in some woman's car because he's going to own it next. It's really loving creepy.

They have a few of these for TV, too. Or at the very least, for Hulu. They're really troubling, and hella stupid. Like, I get what they're trying to say, but it's not really a reason to buy an Audi.

there is a new commercial where a guy is in a Mexican restaurant, and some guy pops up at the window to hand him a Taco Bell triple steak burrito. I got a few problems with this. 1. bull rear end poo poo that the steak falling on the burrito looks like what it does in the commercial. Taco Bell's beef product labelled steak does not look like this, but this is a concession I can make because it is a commercial. The guy is still an rear end in a top hat for ordering Taco Bell while in a Mexican restaurant. 2. Taco Bell doesn't ever deliver! Why not? Does Taco Bell realize how many kids are up at 4 am that are drunk/stoned and can't drive to Taco Bell but need some? They could make a killing if they delivered.

And it wasn't a mexican restaurant, it was like a steakhouse or fine dining or something, where they get tiny portions for you'd assume a lot of money.

Taco Bell doesn't deliver because the average Taco Bell employee is also stoned and can't drive.

The people of the Bronx have been terrorized by commercials from North End Wine & Liquor for years, but unfortunately I can not find the most often played and most annoying one online. Actually here it is with Spanish text instead of English, but the commercial and music are exactly the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GaHL31gEBg I admire the effort they try to put into most of their other dozen or so commercials though... But this one, and one of the earlier ones are pretty much the only ones that ever really get air time and they are easily the most annoying.

(with a chicken instead of a blonde woman) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9xaXQisPcU There's a third commercial where the blonde wears a chicken suit.

There's this Vitamin Water commercial where a kid comes home and his parents are all "Vitamin Water? I guess you were up all night..." In this commercial the kid is asian and the parents are white. This becomes important later. It's not a bad commercial really but last night we were out at a bar and it came on and when it finishes this dude at the next table says "How do white people have an asian kid?"
