Some of those Alpine Credit ones weren't too bad. Less funny lately. The mypillow schtick was groan inducing, don't miss those being gone. Seems now to be those weak attempts at trying to discuss luxury automobiles, Lexus IIRC. It's so blatant it's painful.
Speaking of painful, as Jay said, those AutoValue ones are atrocious. It's as if they fed the script of anchorman and comedy routines from comedians that were just the right kind and amount of offensive into a poorly programmed AI. And then ran that AI on the Trump Freedom Phone.
Seriously, a riff on an autistic savant character, from a movie more than three decades old, mixed with a discount bin Ron Burgundy parody is just painful. With that as their advertising, I half expect a shopping experience there to be a guy wearing motor oil blackface while telling jokes about unwed mothers trying to sell me the toyota out front that someone dropped their keys to in the parking lot.
What's next? "I may not be a smart man Jenny, but I know what a sparkplug is!"
