    Enterprise Car Rental.
    Repair shop should put a bomb in the engine to blow up her, the kids and the goofy-ass car rental clown. "Nice Save, this. Mom"

    A little explanation on the Subway ad, from the jingle writer:

    "The chord structure does imply something dark," he agreed, getting out his guitar to demonstrate over the phone. "On the word long, it goes down from a C to an A-flat," he said, strumming, "which is kind of a weird place. It's definitely not a poppy, happy place. It's more of a metaly place. But at the same time, the singing stays almost saccharine."

    I have to change the channel whenever I hear that. I get sand in my eye every time I see those animals. Even the cats. And I HATE CATS!

    I just start giggling uncontrollably whenever I hear the Subway commercial, it's so catchy. In Florida a few weeks ago I heard a Spanish version of it, and I'll find myself singing about "pie de largo" at one point in my day.

    The Enterprise commercial just makes me roll my eyes.

    I still cannot keep my jaw from dropping every time I hear this little ditty:

    You can Steak Umm in the North
    You can Steak Umm in the South
    But the best thing of all
    is when you Steak-Umm in your mouth!


    How in the name of all that is holy does that get through an ad agency, then company officials, then presumably some sort of focus group, without someone saying, "You know, that sounds really disgusting"?

    There's some dog flea medication commercial that features a small puppy singing "Ain't got no ticks on me/There may be bugs on some of you mugs/But I ain't got no ticks on me."

    It plays every commercial break during Frasier reruns on Lifetime. And yes, I'll take my mancard points deduction for watching Frasier reruns on Lifetime.

    No deduction for that brother. Hell, with some of the stuff I watch at times, you'd think my mancard points would be in the negative.

    I can't remember the name of the company, but it is about how to improve your internet speed and it features some douchebag saying the catchphrase at the end. I want to punch him in his face.
