That is a real band? I thought they were some suck ass garage band. That commercial drives me nuts and that song is f'n terrible.

The Cheetos commercial where they're launching Cheetos out of a catapult into a guys mouth is without a doubt the worst ad on TV. Chester Cheetah"s weird voice, the whole concept (why is the situation even happening?), the dumb music, bad acting. Arg.

It's probably the most TV playable song by the Pixies, so considering it's about a large penis is saying something.

I don't know who is in that commercial, but not the Pixies. Probably an extra from some yogurt or 100 calorie snack commercial.

You mean there's other kinds?

Now when that commercial comes on, I substitute the "big big love" part with your terminology.

Hotels.com and their captain obvious commercials

[Flabbibulin]

The new set of wonderbread commercials drive me nuts!

[MissTeeks]

The Ginger Ninja Ginger Beer commercial on the Fan is terrible.

Icy league - any time a website has to tell you about how safe it is to use, you probably shouldn't use it. Even if Theo is hooked up with these guys.

Ew. Just stop right there buddy, button up that shirt, pull up those pants and get AWAY from me.

I can't think about fluffy robes and room service with him on the screen. All I can think about is settling my car-keys inbetween my fingers and get ready to deliver a series of blows to eyes throat and groin.

A friend and I laughed at that one too. Shirt tucked into jeans, with no belt? There's some intentional creepiness going on there

The people performing the song on the commercial are just actors playing a cover, but The Pixies are a real band. They were highly influential on early grunge bands, notably being one of Kurt Cobain's favourite groups.

Here's their original performance of Gigantic:

This Samsung Phone/Watch commercial

In this day and age are people really that blown away that someone could integrate communications into a watch?

People wouldn't say "Did you just talk into your wrist?!" they would say "look at this ######"

It's probably been posted before, but it aired during a game recently and it... kind of stood out. I actually think I might love it, not hate it.

The fake middle aged dude taking about Trivago. The lies that are told. They are all tied into the Sabre system now so the rates are fixed. I think their system ties into this to just summarize the same info.

WTF is with Fountain Tire and that idiot? Memo to businesses in general... If you want me to buy your products, don't use a fake moron to advertise them. It does not give me any confidence in your ability to replace my tires when your spokesman is clueless.

Just about the worst advertising campaign I can think of, and it's been going on for years. The latest radio ad where he's listing names is just so over the top annoying, they're on my boycott list until they ditch that loser, and probably for a couple years afterwards. Might not be much, but I buy a new set of tires every year. As long as they continue to annoy me as badly as Spence, I will continue to not even peruse their site every September when I buy new tires.

Whoever is in charge of their marketing needs to get the concrete boots along with that bald ######.

The Sleep Country radio commercial with the sandman that sounds like a constipated 90 year old. His voice annoys me so much.

they signed him to a 50 year contract, 18 years to go.

I don't recall the name of the actual product or the actress either but those damn coffee commercial with that raven haired brunetter parading around.

ESPECIALLY the new one. Dood is walking in for an interview and is only 3 questions? This chick is waaaaay too into her coffee.

[Erick Estrada]

I see Moxies has adopted the Kegg style commercial with the happiest group of customers ever assembled in one restaurant full of people laughing and grinning from ear to ear as their food is served. Such great advertising.
