    My local Mazda dealer does some terrible ads. A recent one had a guy doing a terrible Austin Powers imitation. Current one features a guy who traded in his Jeep for a new Mazda 3.

    Not just "boring," but " boring ... boring ... Boring." Well, honey, I got three words to describe you that also start with b. Hate that commercial.

    He is so bad, I thought it was an impersonator deliberately trying to sound different.

    I especially hate that commercial because of the underlying message. You're not good enough for some floozy at the restaurant but if you pay $2,200 to make eye contact with Alicia Keys as she walks off stage, then you're cool.

    No, paying that much money for "all access" makes you pathetic. I'd take boring over that.

    Giada's got nothing on the (sadly shortlived) "Ask Aida"

    You don't get it. However brief, it has Giada smiling and basking in the glory of a job well done. That's worth more 6s than a Satanic motorcycle gang.

    Okay, this line of commercials is the one that automatically has me reaching for the mute button:



    ANY OF THEM. I have never eaten a snack cracker that caused me to want to YELL AT EVERYONE AROUND ME.

    Dear Bud Light-drinking douchebags,

    Neither the late, great Spnited, nor I, nor anyone with a functioning brain cell cares about your Bud Light Fantasy League.

    The Google Chrome commercial where the daughter who went off to college and is constantly video chatting with her daddy drives me nuts.

    Losing your mother/wife? Been there, done that - it'll be four years in November. I can sympathize.

    To be that whiny for that long, wow. The dad should have told her that if you're that unhappy away from home, fine - come home and enroll at a nearby school. Grow up and stop your damned whining.

    If you have to video chat with your daddy every single day, then why the hell did you go away to college?

    Yeah, I went through hell with my daughter missing her mom, too. But, she lost her mom at 13. Big difference.

    What about those assholes who activate their own hot zone so their absentee family members can watch their son/grandson play tuba in a recital?

    Hey over-entitled fuckos, some other parents might want to use those primo seats you selfish pricks.
