Don't need a sign. We can all see it plain as day that you love your fair share of coffee, lady.

Academy Award nominations for Worst Commercial Of March Madness!
- The Allstate ad where the kid shows up in a Duke T-shirt to a UNC house. The wife gets a great deal on her car insurance or whatever it was and immediately turns into a karen when boy toy shows up in a Duke T-shirt. The rest of the family are the saltiest assholes on Earth who probably post racist shit about Hubert Davis on UNC message boards. In that sense, wearing that Duke shirt was a great strategy to suss out the family.
On the other hand, you're wearing a Duke shirt, which immediately raises the douche level to Defcon-5, so maybe it's just as well their daughter didn't hook up with a kid who has sexual assault parameters bookmarked on his phone so he knows how far he can actually go without going too far.
Also, how do you check first? "Hi, Mom Of Girl I Asked Out, what is your favorite college basketball team?" Brilliant premise.
- Anything featuring the Buffalo Wild Wings buffalo. As I think I've said before, we need an 1890s ghost train from the Plains to roll through and do their business on that annoying bovine.
- The Miller Lite 50th Anniversary ad. I love my Milwaukee-ana and I literally used to live astride Miller Valley, but when I think of Miller Lite, I do not think of David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel". I do not think of David Bowie or rebels generally. If I had to put Miller Lite to song it might be something off the "Urban Cowboy" soundtrack or maybe some sing-along drunken bullshit like "American Pie".
- The Dick's ad with Kevin Garnett showing up like genie (who was presumably traded out of the bottle), a USA gymnast who back hand-springs to oblivion, and Tom Brady - predictably over-exposed to the nth degree riding a goat. I did the strongest gummy I've ever done in my life last week, so I can't imagine what that dude did in the ad. Also, Dick's Sporting Goods is the fucking worst on general principle.
- In a rare double nomination, the Allstate spot where the idiot runs on the court pre-maturely. Dumb on so many levels. First? No one is storming the court at a Notre Dame women's game. They're really good.
Secondly, I was dead for a while, so I'm sensitive to this. The clown who storms the court is stopped when he gets shot at short range by a T-shirt gun. That isn't just going to bounce off your face with no repercussions. At that range, and with typical Co2 to get a T-shirt well up into the stands, getting hit by a T-shirt in the face is going to knock you down at the very least.
In fact, this was a recent topic of discussion with some colleagues. I said it would be worth it to get robbed just to see what a T-shirt gun would do at short range on a home invader. So fuck you, you smiling mascot fuck! That shit ain't funny.
- Addendum: BUNDLE BROS! Fuck off Gronk and your fake stupid act.
- Tom Wax for his portrayal of a man with a spike in his head in the movie 'Spike'.

There is a commercial for some enamel-boosting dental product with a 20-something female dentist with acute vocal fry. From a "professional?" No, thank you. Come back when you've grown up.

Can someone please explain to my why in 2025 Shaq is in SO MANY GOD DAMNED COMMERCIALS?
I mean, are ad people that bereft of ideas for spokesmen?
