    The commercial with The Human League's I'm Only Human.

    First, I hate that fucking song. The Human League plummeted downhill after (Keep Feeling) Fascination.

    Second, the people in those ads are fucking idiots and so are the ad wizards who came up ... you know the rest. Humans spelled out on a fallen backboard ... how cute! Heartless-ass insurance softening up their image with 80s soft rock. Aww!

    Third, good luck with your premiums if you're thick enough to barbeque your car whilst tailgating. You might as well just pay for it yourself and forget the claim because I guarantee that dickweed insurance company (or any other) will drop your ass like an East L.A. lowrider at their earliest opportunity if you did.

    The Lowes commercial with the guys building the deck. Good grief, go away.

    It may have been mentioned a while back, but the new KFC commercials make me want to punch somebody's father.

    This dad does some stupid conniving to dupe their kid into leaving their nuggets so the father can scarf them down.

    What the hell are they teaching parents about caring for their children when they're glorifying these self-centered gluts who steal food from their own kids?

    I'm curious...did the dad buy the chicken nuggets for his daughter and then decide he wanted some? Because if I had bought me some food and my dad ate it, we'd be going back to KFC so he could buy me some more food.

    Also, who has a landline anymore? If she's got enough money to buy chicken nuggets on her own, certainly she has a cell phone for these boys to be calling her on.

    Congrats Acura, you've upped your douchiness quotient with that commercial with the middle-aged guy in his "luxury house with luxury sheets....BLAH BLAH BLAH"
    I hate you...even though I can't afford one, I will never buy from your company.

    The creepy CBS Cares commercials need to go.

    First there was the V-Day commercial that encouraged men to get prostate screenings.
    Now the colonoscopy "I'm having one right now!" one.

    EW MAKE IT STOP.

    I wondered if someone was making him a meat puppet out of camera range, until I remembered that they can give you a swallowable capsule now that does the trick...

    That is the one word (or two words) on TV commercials that make me cringe more than any other: "luxury" and "luxurious".

    It's bad enough that the majority of commercials show people living in mansions and driving expensive cars. Even the fuckin' Ed McMahon sweepstakes -- you never see them go to a trailer park, or even a double-wide. The winners all live in mansions.

    If they want my money, they'd better get the fuck back to reality.

    The teaser for Esquire TV's new cooking show is all over G4's recent Bond marathon.

    "This show is different from a lot of the other cooking competitions."

    Actually, it looks like it pulls from a lot of other shows.

    "Yo, who's hungry?!" he shouts to the crowd. And they cheer. Why not say "No one is, you dunce. We just came to the damn restaurant."

    This spiel makes me root for its failure.
