    Did the chickens wear gold medallions?

    Hate to say it, but I'm getting pretty tired of Toyota Jan.

    Saw a commercial for some "help I've fallen and I can't get up" knockoff that connects you with 911 at the push of a button. The pitch line seriously said "no numbers to remember." Who the fuck is their clientele? The Little Rascals?

    The one I absolutely can't stand is the "liquid gold" commercial for Velveeta Mac & Cheese, with the sodbusters camping out in the grocery aisle and running off any shoppers that dare to invade their space. Instead of looking bewildered, like the housewives in the ad, if I ran across clowns like that, they get a healthy dose of, "fuck off, dudes."

    I like where they accost a woman who is dutifully avoiding the Velveeta (probably because it's shit) telling her to go to the glutton free stuff. She looks at them like the dumbasses they are and says "it's pronounced gluten." That would probably be my response too. Um, guys, I don't know why you're guarding the Velveeta, but I'll stick with my Kraft, thank you very much.

    Duck face Pringles ad needs to stop. First, are these guys 8? Second there's no R in quack or kcauq so shutup with the kaurk.

    The Subaru spot where the woman is day-dreaming about hobo-ing on a railcar with her dog (!) and boyfriend. Everything about this ad is reckless.

    It's along the same lines as those Jeep Renegade commercials that play the "Living Like a Renegade" song in the background. Nothing says being on the run from the law or being a mutineer/traitor like running around the country like a suburban hipster.

    The Panera Bread ads with the creepy kid blathering on about "clean food" feels like a weird mashup of social engineering and an old-timey patent medicine print ad.

    Week 1 of football and I'm already sick of Peyton calling Eli asking him to come watch Sunday Ticket.
