Also the consumerist is doing voting for the worst commercial

Oh, man. I'm torn between "Men Barley Tolerating their Wives and Girlfriends" and "Old Spice Copycats" for Trends that Nedd to Stop Being Trends. Decisions, decisions.

e: Oh, after looking at their examples, it's not what I thought it was. I thought they were talking about things like the Chase Freedom or the AT&T Unlimited Plan ones. Old Spice Copycats it is.

And yeah, the spider one is easily more annoying, even if "Poop there it is" is creepy.

"Big. Big. Big." For far too long, of course. They could make their point in half a dozen, not loving 30 of them.

Then "unbig. uncar." They left out "unsafe" and "uncrumplezone." Cars like that are death traps on a road full of pickups and SUVs, no matter how environmentally friendly they might be.

Yes. She's also in some commercial for dog treats. There is no escaping Suzi Barrett.

I find her adroable, honestly. I find the Metamucil commerical a bit annoying, but not necessarily because of her.

It seems like that "I just came to say hello" song is the new "BABY UR A FIIIIIREWERRRK" for lovely commercials for lovely things. I never thought I'd find myself yearning for the good ol' days of Katy Perry songs.

Hahaha, Shannen Doherty, what the gently caress, are you really so low you're reduced to hocking Education Connection? Jesus christ.

Equally what the gently caress, but for a different reason, they actually made a commercial featuring Randall and the crazy nastyass honey badger. What is going on, television.

I know they've been around for years now every since Apple started them with their commercials, but hearing commercials with quirky female singers is almost like nails on a chalkboard to me at this point. Why won't they die off. :(

I have decided that my second least favorite thing in commercials, behind hearing people eat, is hearing people type. Do they really think if they don't include the sound of someone mashing on the loudest keyboard in the world that I won't understand that someone is typing? This is especially stupid when they use it for touchpad products like the iPad, it doesn't even HAVE a keyboard!

I saw that, it's like they brought a FW FW FW from your grandmother to life.

How about instead they run an ad campaign telling everyone what a piece of poo poo Darrell Issa is for blocking HR 1351.

Yeah, what the gently caress is that. I assume it's some dumb internet poo poo I've never heard of, seeing as that stupid loving pistachio company has resorted to using Angry Birds and the fat Kardashian in their commercials now.

Yep. I don't know why, it was just one of those things that caused a visceral reaction of disgust in me. If it doesn't give you the screaming heebie-jeebies then good for you, you don't have to run screaming from the television or give yourself a torn groin muscle leaping for the remote to change the channel every time it comes on.
