    The new Jeep commercial with young turk bobbleheads driving to the pumpin' rock-blocking' beat. Can't stand it.

    I like that one. And the song playing in that is catchy. I just hope it's not frickin John Tesh or something like that. That could get my mancard revoked!

    Too bad this Philip Morris campaign didn't have a wider rollout:

    Man Law, caveman, Burger King as Deion, etc. -- all good
    Dr Pepper -- not good

    New leader in the clubhouse:

    "I know where you at" "I know where you at" "I know where you at"

    Apparently, some phone company thanks it call boost sales by aping the Bud commercials. Nothing more annoying than people dressed as big orange blobs. Unless that orange blob is Phil Fulmer, of course.

    After watching just the Rose and Fiesta Bowls today, I have to say the Dodge spot with the Rock'em Sock'em Robots is getting very old. So is the Tositos ad with Carmen Electra. I think I've seen both about 50 times during those two games alone.

    The Carfax commercial with the goggle-wearing dog and the sun-glasses wearing owner riding along in their car. The music on that commercial annoys the hell out of me.

    I like the Rock'em Sock'em Robots ad. Clever.

    Of course, seeing it every commercial break during the Rose Bowl did venture a bit into Overkill City.

    And I never tire of seeing Carmen Electra, even if they're pushing tainted Gringo Mexican food.

    Most Bud Light ads, but especially the one with the rubber floor. Was the dog standing in place the whole time before the door opened?

    I like the caveman ads -- not sure what they have to do with insurance. But I loved the line where his cell rings and he tells his therapist that it's his mother and that he'll put her on speaker.

    The Jimmy Dean ads where the guy plays the sun are awesome.

    The one I saw last night for some Scope-flavored denture cream that has two octogenarians making out in the back of a cab made me a bit ill.

    For the better part of the last month, I've seen this thread with a blank slate in my brain. You see, I knew there was an annoying ad out there that pissed me off with its complete inanity and lack of any pretense of appealing to functioning brain cells.

    Hello, Vonage.

    And, you get your choice. Either the one with the ditzy blonde on the beach who wants to go "swimming with dolphins" that bear a striking resemblance to sharks or the one with the Newman-esque dude breaking up with the model and running to his mom.

    Both of them annoy the shite out of me on every front.

    Know what I've learned from the Volkswagen commercials?

    Volkswagen owners don't know how to fuckin' drive.

    Holy s...
