    The Helpful Honda Dealers ads annoy me. Why would I buy a Honda just because they paid for some girl's cheer camp or bought diapers for a new mom?

    I have generally liked the Geico "It's what you do" commercials, but the krakens/golf commercial is just too over-the-top.

    Yeah, I think someone referenced it on the Commercials You Like thread here. HATE it!

    I do like the "I don't think that's going to be enough club" line.

    Fair enough. Its only redeeming value.

    No, fuck you K-Mart. There will be no Christmas ads on Oct. 8! Yes, it is ridiculous to be thinking about lay-away before Halloween. So stop, just stop.

    Reading Tweets in a commercial is lazy; reading Tweets about McDonald's all day breakfast is doubly so.

    That was me. But if I saw it in constant rotation I'm guessing I would get tired of it pretty quick.

    Yeah, at least they don't play it all that often. But The Coneheads are really getting on my nerves. Never been a fan, but I was in teh next room when one came on today. Their voices are so aggravating.

    The club DJ who sunlights as a financial planner is back. Ugh.

    With such a huge portion of what should be their market having been born after 1980 or so, I'm wondering who in the heck OK'd that campaign. The Coneheads were a thing from about 1976-80. They haven't been a thing for 35 years. Is State Farm only selling to people in their middle 50s now?
