There’s a GoDaddy commercial with some pro basketball player playing chopsticks on a piano and mumbling about putting his music online. It’s just been on a billion times and is so annoying. And I’m not sure if it’s playing it as a joke (like, his music sucks lol) or if it’s actually serious? It’s hard to tell.

I love Brooklyn Nine Nine, but if I never hear "if I was an escaped murderer, where would I hide?" again, that'd be swell

Came to post this. The idea sounds cool but it’s hard to watch. The ending with red lights coming out of different windows is kind of neat.

I came to post this commercial and what I can't stand is everyone power hoisting their full mugs of bud at the end, without a drop spilled.

I want to punch those dbags in the McDonald's Big Mac commercials in the face repeatedly.

Those My Pillow commercials are irksome because I bought one and they're not as advertised.

It doesn't stay cool. They're ok but nothing out of the ordinary.

The new Toyota commercial.

Upset with your spouse? Cause yourself to almost get in an accident, where the car will stop for you, and it'll rekindle the love!

Yeah, I watch a ton of GCL. Don't forget the incessant Brooklyn Nine Nine commercials.
Eh, close enough.

I just thought if I gasped I could force an epiphany!

Oh my, the Olympics. So many awful commercials, over and over and over and over...


Who the hell thought that having some pretentious a-holes in black and white talking about Big Macs was a good idea? Just terrible.

Any of/all of the AGLC Game Sense commercials. GameSenseGuy is heinous. I'd rather what Trivago Guy dance.

The Ancestry.com one with the guy who lives next door to Irish Samwell Tarly and doesn't talk to him until he does a DNA test and discovers his great grandmother was Irish.

Screw you and your xenophobia.

Buckley's commercials are awful, and they work. At pissing me off.

I love the Olympics, but I'm not going to miss all these awful commercials (especially since the same half dozen of them play every time). They are worse than hockey-themed commercials.

The Bell one where the woman picks up her laptop thoughtfully and keeps changing her typing about what the world needs.

Who or where or what program is she typing that stuff out to? Just randomly on her laptop?

The Jeep commercials where you have reporters on scene talking about how terrible the roads are. So cheesy and lame.

Looks like it's filmed in Calgary. At least they could have shot it during one of Calgary's storms this winter, instead they choose a day with blue skies and use fake snow. So bad.

That Toyota commercial where the couple are not speaking.

After they almost rear-end the truck I want her to lay into him again about his driving.

The whole theme of that imo is that he did something wrong and her life is devastated...

No car company has yet to figure out how to properly advertise their emergency braking systems. They all rely on portraying the absolute worst drivers driving as poorly as possible.
