    Whatever they are paying Tom Brady for the Hertz commercial is too much. It was cute the first time, but is on pretty much every commercial break on Hulu and Peacock.

    The ones with him on the Oprah-like show are really stupid.

    YouTube TV. Unlimited recording. Never see a commercial again.

    All the fucking Booking.com commercials with one of the most overexposed actresses in H’wood: Melissa McCarthy.

    Especially that annoying AF tagline, “Booking dot YEAH.”

    Has anyone disappeared as quickly as Melissa McCarthy? Hit tv show and a couple of crappy movies and your done.

    She was just Ursula in the Little Mermaid remake.

    I know Genesis was the sponsor of the Scottish Open last week, but one would hope they could afforded more than the same commercial at every break.
    That father took his daughter to the ocean about 1000 times over the weekend.

    I'll see that and raise you "Seagull - the Eagle of the Sea". Ugh. Double ugh.

    He took her there a thousand times the last 5 tournaments. She should be sick of it by now.

    The recent Slurpee commercial with the guy slowly and silently striding across the pool deck and walking into the water in a bathrobe is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Every time I see it, I try to "get" it. But I still haven't, yet.

    Oh, you might've seen it. That's the thing: You wouldn't even recognize it as a Slurpee commercial, except for the shot of the one the guy's holding in his hand. You really have to notice that the cup says Slurpee on it.

    The closest thing I can figure is, the commercial is supposed to show the guy cooling off in the pool -- and with the Slurpee.
