    Meh. Since he plays possibly my favorite character on TV now -- Richard Harrow from Boardwalk Empire -- I'll give him a pass.

    This is now my least-favorite commercial. And they have been showing it 400 times a day during the bowl season. I don't know much a bout poker, nor do I care, but the guy is just annoying as hell.
     
  3. The AT&T commercials with the children's focus group. I'd rather watch Andy Reid give early 90s Roseanne a mustache ride than hear fucking child actors - especially tv commercial child actors - try to be funny. This is especially prevalent on the "Yep" "YAP YAP" one. Fuck all of it.

    I thought these were slightly humorous. I like the one with the dopey kid wanting to tape a cheetah to grandma's back.

    You've thought about this a lot, haven't you?

    And the TV would be so small, you'd have to hold the wire, and the way you're holding the wire, you can't see the TV!

    New peeve, and I've only seen these today: The Discover "it" card commercials. Good grief.

    Also: tirerack.com. People, like a psychologist for example, asking a patient of hers about tires while they're in a therapy session. Or the douche bag who drops to one knee and says to the lady with him "I have something I'd like to ask you." She gets all big-eyed and shit, thinking he's gonna propose. But no ... Jackass simply had a question about tires and had to tie his shoe.

    The guy's delivery cracks me up:

    "That's a pain in the buns."
     
  10. The girl in the "Bad Idea T-shirt" ads has a great rack.

    A friend on Facebook said he thought the Lou Holtz Catholic church commercial was a SNL skit at first.

    Are these the ones when they're talking to themselves?

    If so, add me to the list.

    Essentially, I've discovered I detest all commercials that come on during college football.
