    Any Subway "Five Dollar Foot Long" commercial.

    The commercial that creeps me out is the Quiznos ad where the talking oven commands that guy to "put it in me." CUH-reepy! I do, however, love "Two Girls One Sub."

    "Two all-beef patties, special sauce lettuce cheese..."

    It was great the first time around without all the beat. And it didn't get stuck in my head while I was trying to go to sleep.

    The thing that bugs me about that commercial is all the people dancing around while eating the Big Mac. When have you ever seen someone jumping and dancing while wolfing down a McDonalds sandwich? Correct. You haven't.

    Anyone who lives in the Gulf South between Baton Rouge and Pensacola knows and luuuuuvs this one:

    "That's a good car, Paw-Paw!" ::)

    I can respect a jingle that buries itself in my consciousness.

    Ted's Aqua Marine in Indianapolis (Boats! boats! We got boats at Ted's Aqua Marine!), Milwaukee's Ernie von Schledorn (Main Street in Menomonee Falls!), and several that aired on WGN Cubs games in the 80s and 90s (Lincoln! Lincoln! Lincoln-Lincoln! Quality carpeting for less! Call National-2-9000! National 2-9, ring, ring, thousand!) are first-ballot Hall of Famers.

    Is Dub Herring still alive?!?!!?

    Here's one that I can't stand:

    "It's the mini buffalo ranch chicken sandwiiiiich!"

    Mainly because there's not a Jack in the Box within 300 miles of here ...

    The Beep-Beep.com commercials.

    The singer is annoying, the tune is annoying and they ruined a great cartoon character.

    Is that Paw-Paw's Camper City? I've driven through that area and seen the billboards, but never had the "pleasure" of catching a commercial.
