We've all seen some bad commercials.
I just saw one comparing a Ford F-150 to Nick Saban. Riiiiiight.
Your turn.

My favorite is the Dairy Queen guy with his tongue in the beaters.  But the first time I saw it when the guy began speaking I thought he was a person with special needs.

I don't know if this is a local commercial or not. Have you guys seen the one for peaches? They slurp on their peaches all through the commercial. It drives me crazy and it is just plain gross!

Same here. I watch MLB games in the evening. All I see are ford truck commercials and fox sports channel commercials ad nauseum.

I thought the "Are we ever going to get married?" one was funny.

I hate one of the commercials that you see in the movie theatre. I think it is for movietickets.com or something. It has a guy and a girl talking about buying their tickets online and saving time, but then the girl is seeing a different movie than he is and the guy asks if they are still eating dinner together at the same restaurant.
Obnoxious.
And my questions: is this a blind date? Are they married? Have they been dating for a while?
And: Why wouldn't one person buy both tickets rather than the two of them individually buying tickets?

I hate any commercials in the theatre. It's bad. Very bad. I'm paying $7 so I can watch a movie and not have to put up with commercials. Why did they start doing this (rhetorical question)?

Yes, turn it off until you go buy a Tivo then you never have to watch commercials again.

I can't stand the Hardee's commercials.
1. I can't stand to watch these people shovel food in their mouths.
2. The one's where the guy isn't capable of making himself something to eat are ignorant.

I'm at the point that any political ad makes me wanna throw a brick at the TV.
Especially the one where they are talking about not being able to buy drugs from Cananda. "I say put me in jail and let the government pay for my medications," In his best slobbery voice.
I'm Sheldon and I approve this post.
This post paid for by the STOP the ads campiagn.
