    OK, Southwest air, the Asian woman (in a hurry) in the elevator, won't push the button for the guy who runs in late, keeps moving to get in his way as he tries to push it.
    She deserves her face being punched in. Or at least, he should have gotten in front of her and not let her out of the elevator.

    Sure - this is probably the wrong thread to post this on, but I really dig the Dos Equis beer ad with the geezer and the honeys young enough to be his granddaughters "Stay Thirsty My Friends."
    Also like the Burger King ad with the line "There's no "gotcha" here - we're in a Burger King."

    Really Miller Lite...REALLY?

    First you "triple hops" your brewing. Which is like saying, "I add sugar at three different times in my Kool-Aid." It's still the same amount you dope heads!
    Now...they have an air-tight seal on their bottles...YOU MEAN LIKE EVERY bottle of Coke or any other damn beer ever made since the invention of twist-off caps?
    What's next? "Miller Lite puts labels on their beer bottles so you know when you are drinking a Miller Lite."

    Don't get me started on "Drinkability!"

    Are we as Americans on the whole...that DUMB?!

    Wish I could find a copy of it online just to share my hell. The Ohio Lottery is now airing a commercial/earwig featuring people who've won. That's not the problem. The problem is the song they play with it: lyrics just keep repeating "I'm so happy! Yeah, yeah, yeah!" It has absolutely infected me to the point that I've been stumbling around for a couple of weeks, and every once in a while I just spontaneously start signing it. Dear God.

    Oh, and there is one other thing about the commercial. One of the featured winners is a black couple. The chick in this happy little (well, not little at all, really) couple freaks me out -- her sideburns are longer than mine. They're thin, but run halfway to her chin. If they were wider, they'd be muttonchops.

    That dude in the Extenze commercial who doesn't care about increased size? He's creepy.

    He makes this face right at the end of the commercial, right before he winks-winks-nods-nods with his wife and says about his increased member, "it was kinda fun too", that makes me think he's either a perved out werewolf, or, he's 85 going on 45. It's like he got dentures on purpose to improve his cunnilingus technique.

    On other note, I'd like to smear the stupid-ass Geico gekko out of existence with my foot. What a self-important little bitch he is.

    Holy shit, as soon as I saw this thread on the front page, this commercial immediately came to mind. F'ing awful.

    And the keno one isn't much better: Four douchebags scream "road trip!", get in their car ... and drive 100 feet to a dumpy bar so they can play keno. Kicker at the end is "Hey, four minutes til the next game... road trip!" ... and they move to the next table over.

    Asshats.

    the verizon spot with the family in the ice cream shop ticks me off.

    if i were the guy behind the counter, i'd want to beat the tar outta that dad for dumping all those sprinkles out.

    More Flags, More Fun . . .SIX FLAGS!



    (This is the Robot Chicken spoof of it)



    I guess in other parts of the country, it's a Japanese guy saying this idiocy. But here, it's this little Mr. Magoo type.

    It's like they're trying to make the commercials as odious as possible.

    This is a little esoteric, but if you've ever watched a Braves game on CSS, you'll never be able to get the name "Hezekiah Sistrunk" out of your head ...

    A-that model has never eaten a full Hardee's Western Thickburger in her life. She'd be dead from a heart attack by now.

    B-Okay...so on Oxygen on Saturday night/Sunday morning at 3 a.m. (EST) is a hour-long paid program for dildos. It is the creepiest thing ever and it changes weekly. Some of those contraptions are downright SCARY.

    But the plastic bottles with the screw on/off lids are awesome for canoeing.
