    Agree with both of those lame radio ads.

    I'd also nominate the horrid Napa Know How song/dude. His voice is more grating than the Nickelback lead singer ... didn't think that was possible.

    The cars.com commercial with the singing head coming out of the guy's shoulder. Please stop

    "...that'sgoodmorningbeckystyle."

    What the fuck does this mean? I hate V8 as a product, but I hate its commercial even more.

    I'm a student of history, so I'm pretty confident in the opinion that if the debonair Capt. Morgan portrayed in the Capt. Morgan commercials was real, his head would be firmly planted on the keel of a ship in the ass end of the Spanish Main.

    The real Capt. Morgan was a cutthroat bastard who was suspended by the Jamaican Council for disreputable acts in the 1680s. Back then, it was basically legal to kill someone who wasn't white, so he must have been a stone motherfucker.

    Also, did Jack White invent a time machine and become the balladeer at various 1680s ball rooms and Hellfire clubs? Did he take Meg White and the Raconteurs with him?

    And if Capt. Morgan's head was on the keel of that ass end ship, I'm pretty sure Jack White's head would be fed to the scurvy-ridden rats. (And I like Jack White)

    This one I see every freaking day during the local news for Extended Stay America: A bunch of tenants walking out of their hotel rooms singing "We're Not Gonna Take It." Why? Because the hotel has the coffemaker in the bathroom. Oh my God! Coffee in the bathroom? Attica! Attica!

    Thanks for ruining one of my guilty pleasure song from the 1980s.

    I apologize if this has been mentioned upthread (possibly even by me), but the Ice Cube commercials for Coors Light are just depressing. He went from NWA and St. Ides commercials to arguing with a beer can? So much for being true to the game.

    Could they not find a band from this century to do this commercial? Because the people who are listening to Twisted Sister aren't throwing loud raucous parties anymore, and the people who are throwing loud raucous parties are likely not listening to Twisted Sister.

    The Coppertone commercial with a woman and two men who are workout freaks, running in a stadium with parachutes behind them. An intense workout needs an intense sunscreen! We're so cool! We're human freaks! C'mon, let's go - stop talking to the camera and let's keep running these stairs!

    Yeah, those freaks really influenced me to buy your product.

    Not.

    That commercial and the "Doggie Cam" commercial make me realize the creepy carpet cleaner that appeared in the Stanley Steemer commercials until about a month ago wasn't as bad as I thought.

    How about the stupid vodka commercial where the woman (I probably should know who she is) says I might take a limo, or I might take a private jet, but I always make it home safe. Yeah, no shit. I might be able to go and get wasted more often if I had a limo to come pick me up. Let alone a private jet.

    MM, we discussed that one at length a few pages back.

    Now we have John Malkovich talking to his phone. Does he have friends? Or is his phone his only friend?
