    I totally just clicked on here to say this exact thing. What's the big idea here? Good grief!

    All ads with fucking talking babies must be snuffed immediately.

    Some of these commercials for the NCAA tourney are played way too often. The VW (I think?) ad with Peter Frampton must be played every break when watching online.

    Yeah, the rotation is maddening. The man/woman out and he is checking his phone, Miller Light commercial, talking baby E-Trade, Pitbull Bud Light spot, State vs. Tech Best buy ad, and Buffalo Wild Wings "more March" ads

    Fixed.

    And the commercial (is it for Geico?) where the dude hires the popular junior high girls to keep him on his diet by reminding him how gross his food is. Not funny.

    You'd think that since they know they will be played in extremely heavy rotation to a reasonably large but more importantly highly committed audience that may be watching hours of programming for three weeks with their ads in it companies would take as much or more care with the ads they run in the tournament as they do with their Super Bowl ads. But they don't. It's almost as if they think the younger male audience they believe is the tournament's core audience will accept any crap that's slung its way. Then they wonder why that's the hardest demo to reach in advertising.

    The AT&T silent treatment girl is cute, but dresses like an extra from a John Hughes box set.

    This is the worst of the bunch running during the tourney. Good god, it sucks.

    The Powerade commercial where the coach tells his team 'they didn't see us coming. They thought that this would be a cakewalk. I want the first 15 shots in the seats.' From what I can tell, the game hasn't even tipped off yet. Have fun getting your heads kicked in by the 1 seed.

    The Allstate mayhem guy needs to die a slow death.
