The ad for some brand of laundry detergent. A couple is sitting on a bed I think and folding laundry. The woman has thick rimmed glasses on and the most annoying voice ever. It's probably the worst casting I've seen for anything.

The Warcraft one with Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris jokes were so 2006.

Yeah, Ramada touting 20% a 3 night stay off may work in 1993, but in the world of Priceline/Hotwire/Expedia and many other hotel chains, its not worth cutting the already cheesy commercial for.

One that's actually kind of catchy is the Gillette one with the guys' faces on fire. As with other Gillette ads, looks like a European one converted to North American (as evidenced by the extra long shot (for a 30 second commercial), wide angle, of the guy watching the chick in the dress walk by him). But just the right amount of cheese, and catchy music.

What caught my attention about it first was the chick at the very end looking like she was going to get run over by the guy in backgroud, and couldn't have missed him by much.

The "nanabooboo jack frost" ford ads are the most annoying ads I've seen in years, maybe decades. I want to murder that woman.

Terrible.

Don't know if it is the us/Mexican tv commercials but I'm constantly seeing these dumbass fragrance commercials here in puerto Vallarta. Only watch an hour of tv a day before I go to bed and I feel like I see them every 5 mins. All the same. Remind me of the mr plow spot from the Simpsons. Random guy in a room or woman.

And every diff fragrance company has the same. Ommercial. Gmg.

In the Ramada ad where the girl is painting the dude's face blue - why does her palate contain colors besides blue?

There seems to be a spate of radio commercials that have people singing grossly modified Christmas songs that end with a super annoying extended finishing note. The two I seem to hear all the time are the Bet365 one based on 'Deck the Halls' that ends with the guy singing "three six fiiiieeeevvveeeeeeeeeee", and the skiing discount card one with what sounds like a group of tone deaf kids singing a #######ized 'Jingle Bells' that ends with them screaming "discounts every daaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!"

Got a double shot of them this morning on the Fan that finally coalesced my rage. Is that how Christmas carols are supposed to end?!?

I think this might be Bell, but it starts out with the Dad doing his best evil chuckling and then says he got his kids phones so Daddy gets a tablet. Then the wife says, or maybe Mommy gets the tablet. At which point he looks at the camera and shakes his head with an evil look on his face. I hate this commercial for some reason.

Windsor system saver tablets.

Are those for a water softener? I don't even have one and I know that product. Damn commercials have stuck with me though.

There's a Subway commercial where this creepy guy suddenly accosts this woman in the street and starts asking her if she's saving up for her own private island, trip to the moon, etc. Can't stand it.
