    This guy looks like Danny Aiello doesn't he?

    I can't believe I didn't think of this--any ad, and there are plenty of them this month, in which somebody gives a car with a stupid oversized red bow on top of it as a gift. Just makes me want to throw up.

    That guy deserves a swift kick to the nuts repeatedly.

    I'm very happy that I never see those "Ted Ferguson: Bud Light Daredevil". I wanted to break that fucker's teeth.

    Not once have I laughed at a Bud Light spot. Never, ever, ever.

    "...or your mattress is FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

    when i read the title of this thread, that was the first thing to pop into my head. i have never met one person who doesn't find these ads annoying.

    and i will NEVER buy a mattress from sit 'n' sleep, if only because of those godforsaken things. STFU already, larry!

    Levitra ads talking about how diabetes, etc. can cause ED.

    Funny? That theme has been so overspun there's a spider camp embedded in the web now.

    Best shit: Any Bud Light commercial. The idiot pilot who jumps out after the beer. Great stuff.

    I'll grant you most Bud Light spots are clever, but please don't tell me you actually like those Ted Ferguson ones.

    I'm getting tired of seeing those Coors Light ads with the footage of the former NFL coaches. They were clever at first, but now it's 20-degrees outside and I'm watching these guys talking about Coors Light being so refreshing when it's hot outside.

    The girl in the current McDonald's ad who looks like she's about to have an orgasm as she bites into some sort of sandwich. Her eyes weird me out.

    Sorry if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but I was watching a TSN hockey broadcast the other day on NHL Center Ice, and they had a Canadian version of the "This Is Our Country" Mellencamp ad. Same song, same titles ("This is our role model ... this is our purpose"), just different images. Totally shameless.

    Good catch. I was going to mention this too. So, I guess Chevy or whoever it is can't get a Canadian guy to write a song.....

    I'll add those awful Bud Light commercials for the NFL. Don't know if they are available stateside but Canadians have seen plenty of them: there's the one where the guy comes up to some guys sitting on a patio and asks if anyone wants to "save the Dolphins" and gets an earful from some moron in a Dolphins t-shirt (note that I LOVE the Dolphins) about how great the Dolphins are (were, maybe?) and how it's the rest of the AFC East that needs saving. Then there's two guys at a bar and one comments on one of his co-workers who is in from their Texas office about how much he loves Texans and this clown saunters up and loudly berates him about how little the Texans have done compared to the Cowboys. In most places they'll cut you off and show you the door. Just like Bud Light should do with these ads.
