    I can't go another day, another practice, another game without the Speed Hitter.

    My thoughts as well. I'm of the make-commercials-aspirational school of thought. The Lowe's commercials make me want to never lift a screwdriver again.

    As a Home Depot stock-holder, though, I'm good with these ads.

    I'm sure this has been mentioned, but I'm three weeks past tired of Tony Siragusa talking about his leaking anus.

    I love the Speed Hitter, mainly because it was invented by Rays hitting coach Derek Shelton, and the Rays have been one of the worst hitting teams in MLB for several years, with the exception of a middle-of-the-pack finish last season. And they show this damn commercial twice every break during the spring games on MLB. They were actually auctioning off an autographed Speed Hitter at a Rays game I attended last season. I did not put in a bid.

    The Bookings.com commercial that shows people playing paintball in the woods while wearing goggles and safety vests.

    What scrolls across the bottom of the screen?

    You guessed it, "Do not attempt."

    What the fuck?

    I've had a couple drinks so take this for what it's worth, but the Vanilla Ice Ninja Turtle Mac N Cheese commercial is one of my favorite ever.
    I just need them to bring back the Ninja Turtle Cereal now.

    Shouldn't a pizza place take up the new TMNT movie as a sponsor tie-in? Seems logical.
    I can't remember, did Pizza Hut or Domino's show up in the last set of movies?

    Domino's was in one of the opening scenes, but Pizza Hut came in later with a sponsorship.

    Knowledge like this is why I have a limited sphere of friends.

    The "that's not a Buick" commercial has got to go. It'd be one thing if they mixed it up with different people, but it's the same one over and over. Enough.

    Dear Sprint Framily,

    I have a family I'd like you to meet.

    The Manson family.

    Helter Skelter, motherfuckers.

    The new Maytag Man is Colin Ferguson of multiple shows (Eureka, Haven), he seems too good for that kind of gig.

    And Mike Rowe is out as the voice and face of Ford. But he's got a new show coming on to CNN that seems to be a lot like Dirty Jobs, but probably not as messy.
