    I'm posting on behalf of the Lincoln automobile brand's advertising agency, who must be apoplectic that the face of their high-end commodity is now the voice of...Carl's Jr.'s bacon western burger???

    WTF.

    I'm not sure if I have a problem with the commercial or if I'm impressed by the commercial, but the Ring My Bell Walmart ad has me going cross-eyed. On the one hand, it's a song about a booty call to help sell Walmart's online ordering. On the other hand, they're using a song about a booty call combined with giving them a large package to their front door. Not sure how I feel about the commercial.

    I long for the day when the movie "Hurricane Heist" has come and gone from theaters so that I never again have to hear the ad for it featuring the same three chords of "Rock You Like a Hurricane" over and over and over like a skipping record
     
  4. The Daniel Berger and his cousin Dougle Berger Geico commercials.
    Done.

    The DirecTV ad with the psychotic chick throwing the ex-boyfriend's stuff out a second-story window. That's a bitch that would be going to jail in real life.

    I was looking forward to baseball season. Now, five days in, I'm already sick of it.
    The commercial where the couple is looking for the Peninsula Trail and the blind guy is going to "show" them how to get there. It was really good the first time, OK the second time. Now, I want the blind guy to direct them to drive off that cliff. They show this commercial five or six times per game, every game.
    There is a Cadillac commercial with annoying music -- five or six times a game, every game.
    Followed up by a Hyundai commercial with different annoying music -- five or six times a game, every game.
    Followed up by the Buick commercial where the cutie girl buys the wrong cake and the ugly girl tells her it's wrong -- five or six times a game, every game.
    (And that says nothing at all about every game going 3-1/2 hours, despite limited mound visits.)

    The iPhone face unlock commercial where the girl causes all the lockers to break open was inoffensive the first time I saw it. The next 100 times makes me want to place the girl on a catapult and send her to the next county.

    We’ve decided to switch to cheap, low-quality toilet paper because we really don’t want to have bears in our house.

    The Carl's Jr ads have become god awful. Not that they were great before but the dude singing Western bacon cheeseburger in a random order makes me want to punch someone in the nuts. And the newest commercial during the world cup does nothing change that.
