    Yes. That commercial needs to die.

    Also, Arby's needs new commercials. I'm sick of the guy walking outside with no pants on in the morning. Plus, they always run them back-to-back. Once, I swear I saw five or six IN A ROW. Please, put them out of their misery. Now.

    The computer commercial with "Lollipop" as its song. And the mouthwash commercial where you can hear everyone swishing the mouthwash around in their mouth. Gross.

    The Jack in the Box Costco spoof.

    It ends with Jack making a comment about a lady buying toilet paper.

    Something about "she's getting her fiber."

    Nothing like a shit joke to sell food.

    (Not to mention the irony of a fast food joint making fun of crapping).

    Those are awful - and rather misleading. I cringe when I see them.

    If I see the Castrol "Think With Your Dipstick" commercial too many more times, I'm going to go on a tri-state killing spree and try to wipe out as many Scotsmen as is humanly possible.

    Speaking of fiber...those Fiber Bar commercials with the guy who comes by in seven different disguises just to get more bars and comes by the final time in lederhosen, going "Autobahn?"

    Yeah, DIE IN A FIRE. This friggin commercial was funny once. Now it's stupid and had I been that fiber bar counter person, I would have smacked him and told him to act his age.

    The "Your Baby Can Read" commercial they show every 25-30 minutes on Sprout (maybe it's only once an hour and not twice).
    I want to shout at the TV "idiots, just let your kid develop at his/her own pace, there's no need for a video and flashcards to have the baby reading at 9 months old"

    It's not a commercial, but that damn jump roping, dancing robot is back on Fox NFL broadcasts. ::)

    That yogurt commercial where the chick is stuck in a yoga pose is kind of weird.

    Not sure if it was an Activia commercial, but this SNL spoof of the ones with Jamie Lee Curtis is hilarious:

    The commercial for the Reelz channel. If you have DirectTV, it's channel 238. It's a terrible song. Terrible song. And the singer just makes it that much work. The notes of the music and the notes of the words sang are exactly the same, so that's annoying, the singer's voice is crackly and annoying, and he just keeps saying the same thing over and over again. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I hate that commercial.

    I call bullshit on the Dick's Sporting Goods commercial for sticky football gloves featuring Andre Johnson. The two teenagers go all slack-jawed when they see Andre in the aisle catching footballs --- "Wow, Andre Johnson!"

    No way that happens. For T.O., yeah; for Randy Moss, maybe. But no way in hell two 18-year-olds even recognize Andre Johnson out of uniform, even in Houston.
