the whole concept of a no touch soap pump is ridiculous. guess what the first thing you do after pumping out some soap is? WASHING YOUR HANDS. the ultra germaphobic society that we're turning into GMG

A&W reporter woman using the shut the front door phrase is horrible in a lot of ways.

I actually chuckled the first time I herd her say that. It's a bad commercial though.

Target had a Christmas commercial running this week on tv. Mid October is too damn early.

Just an open note to all advertisers. Just because you are the CEO or whatever it does not make you a good spokesperson. I'm looking at you itravel2000, the bay and many others.

Today was the first time I've heard that one. I heard it 5 or 6 times. I have a feeling I will hate it soon enough.

THey have a Spence Diamond store in Houston, TX. Same guy does the radio ads but he's not nearly as annoying.


I hate the Glade air freshener commercial where the chick is trying to dance and spray the aerosol cans.

Agreed. Can't think of any better example of this than Frank D'Angelo.

I don't know that I actually hate this commercial, but I think it might be the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. I can't get through the first 10 seconds without laughing.

^ The (first couple of) SNL spoofs were hilarious.

My burst-out-laughing part was when Pitt looks down a fleeting moment of sheer confusion across his face.

Came here to post that POS, I have no idea who the company advertising is because I change the station every time that commercial starts. Should probably listen to the end and find out so I can boycott that company.

On the other side, I think George Zimmer of Men's Warehouse is one of the rare CEOs who has a great voice for being a spokesperson, and they don't beat you over the head with the fact that he's the owner of the company. Infact, most times, they don't even mention his name. Just some guy with a deep voice driving in a car and talking about suits. I'm not saying they're good commercials, just a cut above most CEO spokesman commercials.

I hate the interview while someone is driving commercials though.

Like, what is the point? is it supposed to convey that he is such a busy man this is the only time he has to do the commercial?

Even though it's been mentioned before, I have to say Alarmforce. Joel Matlin talks like he's got one lung full of helium.
The ads haven't changed at all since 2008. If anything, they're even more annoying now than before.
