    a couple that make me sick:

    Any hardees commercial that has someone eating, and slurping, and gobbling food like a fn pig...

    The Halls commercial where the lady is coughing all over the food boxes she's loading into the freezer, and some random drill sergeant falls out of nowhere and begins to yell in her face...

    We don't have Hardees here....but I'm guessing they're the same as the Carls Jr. ads.

    I'm unfamiliar with the Halls one.

    The worst commercial ever is the new Quizno's commercial. The one where they interview people to get their guesses on how much the sub would cost, and people are guessing like $10 and then blown away when they hear it's only $5! Who the fuck has ever had a $10 sandwich? Then the one lady goes "I'm glad Quizno's is looking out for our wallets." Yeah, me too. I go to sleep every night secure in the comfort of knowing that even if the economy is tanking, people are losing their jobs, and we've got 2 wars going on, at least I've got fucking Quizno's on my side.

    The best commercial is the one for hotels.com, where the guy has the 2 mini shampoos and is pouring them on his head. I don't know why, but that shit cracks me up like nothing else.

    It is one of the worst commercials on TV, good thing Geico spends so much on advertising, because they don't use money anywhere else.
    ...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...

    Not sure why, but it cracks me up too. "Ah it's working...ah they got me, it's working!"

    Alright. Go.


    To start:

    Idaho potatoes (That fake smile, "party girl" raspy voice chick....ugh)
    Empire Carpet (The guy's voice would make me shield my kids, if I had any, from him)
    Golden Corral ("All for around 10 dollars"..."SECURITY!!!!")
    Progressive - "Or a big, tricked out nametag!"
    Bob's discount furniture
    Careerbuilder's repetitive Super Bowl ad.
    Subway's 5-dollar footlong ads
    The Ladders...how freaking snotty can you be?

    I can keep going...

    I think it's great. Geico has a lot of good commercials. In fact, they must be making a TON of money on car insurance to support that advertising budget.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    why do you people watch commercials (short of a hot chick or Peyton Manning being on it)? it's 2009 people switch the channel at all commercials.

    Who watches live tv, let alone commercials...outside of sporting events of course.
    I can't teach common sense.

    I agree that Geico has jumped the shark with this set of ads....dreadful. If you want to creepy/cool, hire the Burger King. :twisted:

    Those are awful. And they are a damn good piece of evidence supporting my theory that the most important thing in a mate for a woman has nothing to do with the guy himself and everything to do with how much they can brag about said guy to make their girl friends jealous! :)

    "Take a hike!"..."you know, I'm gonna do that"...

    The Tybird theory of Flower Delivery states that flowers are deemed acceptable as gifts when they are delivered to the female's place of work. That way all her friends can see them, she garners brag points.

    Wow...I just saw the worst Jared's yet! Anyone seen the crossword puzzle one? Holy god did that make me vurp!

    Also: Any commercial (radio or TV) where they feel the need to repeat the phone number more than 2 times. It's like nails on a chalkboard.
