Worst current commercial on TV?
Mine has to be the one for indigestion/acid reflux with the guy eating meatloaf with thumbtacks in it. That is disgusting.

Locally we have a spokesman for a Subaru dealer and he sounds Australian or something that he joins it into only two syllables "SUebrrrreww"- it is very odd.

The Ditech commercials are more annoying than just bad.

5. Got Milk uses fear to sell itself
Have you seen the GOT Milk commerical where images of xrays flash across the screen and the narration are different voices talking about thier bones breaking?

Maybe the other GOT Milk commercial where old Neighbor Johnson doesn't drink his milk and rips his arms off lifting a wheelbarrow got some ad people thinking "hey fear is good!"

That is mooooving from funny to scary in the worst way (pardon the pun).

6. Without question, the "Enzyte(?)" commercials
Apparently viewers of The Daily Show, South Park and Chappelle's Show really like to buy things to make their cocks larger? Maybe it's just a midwestern Comcast thing.

12. ANY Geico insurance ad.
They all seem to be made by a pack of Amateurs.
I've never found one to be what I would call "Professional"

13. The "Happy Jack" H2 commercial pisses me off.
The kid rips apart a doghouse so he can build a car, then he cheats to win the race. Does anyone else notice the path he takes to win? He runs a staight line down an S shaped course.

The moral?

Steal, destroy, and cheat, and you make money...

18. Yeah, that one really irks me, too
I also hate the whole range of Burger King ads. They are just tasteless.

I also hate the diamond commercial where a couple are in Rome. He shouts out loud to the world how much he loves his woman, and she's all upset and embarassed until he gives her a diamond. Any shmuck with money can buy a diamond, but it takes conviction and guts to shout about your love to the whole world. She's such a greedy ditz.

16. I like the fed ex one where a ceo is standing by a window and someone
is sitting on a chair at the table. They talk, "Cross your heart?" he asks. The man sitting at the table smiles. I love that commercial because its quiet and the man that table is DAMNED HANDSOME!

Okay. I'm superficial but I takes them where it gets them. I actually look for that commercial to come on with gratitude.

17. Haven't seen any currant commercials. Come to think of it,
whatever happened to the California raisins? Are they all dried up now? Sour grapes over contract issues? Their job benefits pruned? Gone to join the harem of the Sultana Brunei?

Lethal gang fight with the M&M spokespeanuts?

19. The Durango one
Where Daddy first accuses his wife of trying to turn their son into some sort of sissy. Later we get:

Daddy: Can you say "Hemi?"

Kid: Hami!

The rest should go:

Daddy: Can you say "Iraqi oil?"

Kid: Racki oyo!

Daddy: Can you say "Bush is my president?"

Kid: Bushaza resident!

21. mis-appropriations of good songs
I thought of another one : ) I hate commercials that take songs and conveniently omit the dirty parts so they can use it to their advantage

some cruise ship line uses "Lust for Life" by Iggy Pop in their commercial but skips over the "liquor and drugs" portion of the song...drives me crazy!!!!
