    This NFL Ticket Exchange spot with Mike Shanahan going undercover to shame the poor Broncos fan for daring to use a scalper, because God forbid the guy try to see a game without every possible penny going into the club's pocket. Great demonstration of the league wide hubris that has it shellshocked people are daring to tune out.

    I watch a lot of CW shows, and they ended a Hulu deal this year. So no commercial-free shows for me. Now I watch the CW app for free with soooo many commercials. The Toyota "You Don't Own Me" song just won't stop.

    The Taco Bell rolled chicken taco ad is terrible. Douchebag boyfriend won't put his food down and uses the baby as a table for his precious food. But the more times I see it, the more I think the guy insisting "Hold my baby, man" is a bigger problem. The guy puts a higher priority on Taco Bell than a human, yet you are willing to trust him with the life of your baby?

    Video game commercials look cool but if I have to listen to one more overly stylised rock song from the 80s ...

    Partly because it was on several times while doing some binge-watching last night, mostly because it's another emaasculation of a favorite song: Google's spot with John Denver's "Country Roads" in the background.

    You are right on both counts, but the thing that struck me is that I have never seen less appetizing fast food. I'll eat anything and those things look like garbage.

    They aren't the greatest thing on the menu. I had them when they first added them, forgot about them after they were removed, and then ordered them a few weeks ago when they came back. Worst things I've ever had there.

    I'm sure we've hit on it here, but there seem to be even more commercials about buying cars for Black Friday or as holiday gifts.

    Who does that?

    No, sweetie. Let Nana play Canasta in peace or she will spike your peanut butter with something calming at lunch.

    Surprise, honey! Not only do you get a new car, but 60 months of a $400 payment, too. It's the gift that keeps on giving!

    It's not that it's terrible exactly, but the idea Wal-Mart is using James Brown music in their commercials really creeps me out. And if he's out there somewhere, I bet Sam agrees.

    Is that The Lemonheads in the new Volkswagen commercial?
