    The Mike's Hard Lemonade commercials, especially the one with the headless deer at the door, are horrible.

    I really like that ad.

    But I hate the Target ad starring the creepy music teacher who gets a little involved with his prepubescent rock star students. Besides, what school has a music class anymore anyway?

    Target's current campaign is AWFUL. The teachers singing about school supplies to the tune of 80s songs mean I can't hit the mute button fast enough.

    Am I the only one confused by the "And Bingo was his name-o" Chevy Silverado commercial. What does making balloon animals, spraying your muddy hand, putting a Band-Aid on your kid's knee, playing chess with your father/grandfather and having a intimate dinner with your wife have to do with having a Chevy?

    I could do that with an AMC Pacer.

    Every time I see it, I wonder ... can he not say what he does because he doesn't have a job and he is just living off his wife's career and just screwing around all the time? Freeloader.

    Dear NBC,
    Airing a commercial promoting one of your new show and showing chimps (or whatever the heck they are) on gymnastics rings RIGHT AFTER showing Gabby Douglas winning the Olympic all-around gold is very, very, very poor form - especially since Douglas' feat was on TAPE DELAY.

    Morons.

    ... any commercial pimping male ED drugs not involving Bob Dole.
    ... "Na-na-na-na-na-na-Napa Know How"

    This might be nitpicky to some but there's something in the "duck, duck, goose" Yokohama tire commercial that drives me up a wall. Maybe it's because I, like most people on this site, have had accuracy drilled into our heads.

    After the husband spins his car, the wife drives by and says, "Cheater. We said no 360's."

    If you watch, he doesn't do a 360. I understand the spirit of the commercial but it makes the wife look dumb because she obviously didn't pay attention in geometry class. I'm definitely not going to buy a Yokohoma tire because I want one from a company that understands the difference between a full circle and a partial one.

    You know the Playtex bra add featuring "full-figured" women currently running during the Olympics? The curley haired ginger is a friend of mine.

    She also was at the center of a Soprano's style gangland-murder in NYC, back when she was a lounge singer.

    "Police said Broadway chanteuse Rena Strober was singing "Don't Rain on My Parade" at Rao's, an East Harlem restaurant, Monday night when a patron, Albert Circelli, criticized her performance.
    Reputed Luchese crime family associate Louis Barone told him to watch his mouth but when Circelli swore in response, Barone pulled out a .38 caliber revolver and shot him in the back, police said."

    I think she's great. I tell you, she's wonderful. I've got no qualms with her performance in this commercial.

    My parents and I were discussing this commercial and we had no idea either.
