    The entire KFC ad campaign.

    I just really find it hard to believe that a company would take it's founder and make him into a cartoon caricature of himself. Seems incredibly rude and sacrilegious, and just besmirching the memory of the reason every person working there has a job.

    "We're the Salmon Sisters."
    Hearing that for the 10,000th time makes me want to torpedo their boat.

    The Sling service “Slinging” commercials.

    Rachel Dratch in the Ruby Tuesday commercials. Especially that lounge singer bit for the salad bar.

    I don't recall which carmaker it was, because I tuned it out after the fifth or sixth time it ran; but the one where Employee of the Year "Anna" quits her job, walks out as the entire city watches her, then buys this super-powerful new car.

    How does she buy this thing unless she saved her money because how is she getting a loan without a job?

    I'm sure the "Skittles-pox" commercial is mentioned in here somewhere, and is likely a candidate for #1 worst.

    That said, the stupid insurance commercial with the woman and her "she-shed" ... what the hell is a she-shed? Is that like a mancave?

    Yes. Her "she-shed" is her little spot.
    (Random question: does anyone get the vibe that her husband set the she-shed on fire?)

    I freakin' hate the stupid Turkitarian ads for Butterball turkey. Get these bland white people off of my TV until the week before Thanksgiving.

    She-shed grates my nerves. “Somebody finally burned down my she-shed” So, you’ve been receiving threats, or what?

    I also hate Liberty’s new jingle. Liberty, Liberty, Liberty...Liberty. Who wrote this? The guy who wrote the score to 60 Minutes?

    That Skittles-pox commercial is just creepy.

    Hell yes he did. Either that, or he set up an ungrounded lightning rod and let nature take its course.

    I don’t see any kids there. He could go out for cigarettes and never come back.

    I can't f'ing believe the Andersons are still getting tickets to the game.

    For, what, the 3rd season in a row???

    The new Capitol One commercial, which uses "Let's Go Crazy" as background music.

    I'm sure someone from Prince's extended family is cashing in, but for a guy who wouldn't even let his music be on YouTube or Spotify, he must be spinning in his grave.
