    Yeah, the loop of baseball commercials get grating. Kid Rock bellowing "Born Free", the chicks screaming and breaking dishes...the Rob Lowe ad...and some new Geico spot using The Wallflowers. Ugh.

    The AT&T U-Verse commercial with the vampire girl. Horrible and stupid and has nothing to do with anything.

    Thank you. I forgot about how much I loathe that commercial.

    The ad for the iPhone 6 with two guys singing Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (aka the 2001 Theme) makes me want to gouge out my auditory canals with teaspoons.

    The latest Sonic "Wing Man" commercial makes me think that these two guys dying in a raging inferno would be too good for them.

    The Verizon commercial with J.J. Watt is kind of stupid, but good lord is the blonde chaperone all sorts of MILFy goodness.

    At first, I kind of enjoyed those commercials, but for a good period of time they have ben absolutely, nails on chalkboard, brutal.

    Indeed. They started out with the one guy supposed to be the dopey dorky guy and the other the straight man; in the last several versions, BOTH guys are absolute death-deserving dumbfucks.

    I kind of dig the song from the Google commercial, though.

    The Sprint commercial with the vaguely 30something/40something ladies making the glasses break with their high-pitched shreiks.

    It's bad enough that I have to hear that in real life every time it's my wife's turn to host book club or wine club. Hearing it on TV is all that much worse.

    Seconded.

    Another--any of the Buffalo Wild Wings commercials with the Coach.

    Ugh. Been a bad month for marketing chicken wings apparently.
