Don't know if this has been mentioned before/if it's just local to the New England area, but this is the worst commercial of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQSx3OAzvb0

GOO-HEH MOR-NEN. MY NEM ES BER-AD. GOO-HEH MOR-NEN. MY NEM ES BER-AD. GOO-HEH MOR-NEN. MY NEM ES BER-AD. Go gently caress yourself, Rosetta Stone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Rub_G-HiYA It's nice of Wendy's to give us these real-life situations we can all relate to. Also I've been seeing a lot of commercials for some mechanics' school called "UTI". Good job naming your school after a horribly painful medical condition.

Myst Hat posted:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Rub_G-HiYA I was complaining to my boyfriend about that Wendy's ad, because I was irritated with redhead being all smug about not going to places that are generally superior to Wendy's food. In fact, I basically told him that for me, Wendy's is 'what I eat in the mall when absolutely nothing else looks appetizing' food, but since most malls usually have Auntie Anne's, they have no value in the end after all. The UTI ads always boggled me, though. How do they not know what UTI stands for? (or, if they do, how do they go on not caring?)

Maybe it's like the Aids brand and the people in charge thought "No we got here first, this is our phrase, we're just going to keep using it and nothing will be weird about that" Didn't work out too well for that Aids guy though.

There is a local ad playing in the Indianapolis area that is pissing me off for MCL, which is pretty much known around town as the old people restaurant. They have only one location or so at this point, but are playing a really terrible ad where the person is telling people why buy pizza from Bazbeaua (the local pizza place that won best pizza for the last 30 years) and instead come to the old people place and buy cardboard pizza for 6 dollars.

But speaking of bringing things on myself, sometimes I get distracted while watching Project Runway (because I'm almost always doing something else at the same time, PR needs like 10% of my attention), and forget to FF through the commercials. And then I'm subjected to things like this rap for the Lifetime show Double Divas: Click at your own risk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGvr3KQOKTU

Wasn't there some leather jacketed, mustachioed with Elvis sideburns 1970s man shilling Progressive alongside Flo at some point? Or was that some other insurance company? There's also the rate suckers commercials, but I've only seen like two of those.
