    The Howard Johnson commercials that put that "Haaaaapyyyyy, yeah" song in my head. Damn you.

    Pretty much every McDonald's commercial since Jordan/Bird.

    Man, I'd be royally pissed if I was that guy.

    Give me an oozie so I can shoot the mother and son in the AT&T "Rollover Minutes" commercials if I have to deal one more time with the son not wanting the orange disc "minutes" because they're old and the mother telling him they're rollover minutes and just as good as current minutes and saving minutes saves money.

    I actually think those commercials are a clever approach to the topic. And the kid was hilarious as the obnoxious buddy in "Adventureland".

    They're not antique, they're rollover minutes!

    The one with the girl in her PJs talking about online college. Stupid and brutal.

    She's hot, so that makes up for it.

    Exactly. If it has a hot girl in her pajamas, it's far from the worst commercial out there.

    I'm getting annoyed by all the people who want me to dump all the gold jewelry I have sitting around the house into an envelope and mail it to strangers for a huge cash payout.

    She's semi-hot at best

    That commercial pisses me off because I don't understand why NO OTHER PHONE COMPANY has jumped on the rollover minutes idea. If I didn't hate AT&T with a burning passion, it would be worth it just for that. Goddamn that's a great idea.

    Yes it is. Especially when you go over your minutes by a few hundred and still have 2,000-plus saved up in rollover minutes.

    It's pretty much one of the only reasons I stay with them.
