    Commercials that make you laugh or piss you off

    I have never watched Big Bang Theory but this commerical just cracks me up everytime I see it. I've seen it millions of time on tv and it never gets old. For the record, I have free local tv.

    Oh! Oh! The Allstate "Mayhem" commericals with Dean Winters (who I can still only picture as Ryan O'Riley from HBO's "Oz") are goddamn hilarious!




    The "Shakey.... shakey shakey shakey!" gets me every time.

    A few more:










    "HEY! You guys are GREAT!"

    whoever came up the "most interesting man in the world" campaign for Dos Equis is a marketing genius.

    the series of commercials that currently annoy the hell out of me are the subway ones where adults have children's voices and act like little shits over sandwiches.

    who comes up with these garbage ideas?

    the latest offenders:

    1) AMC and their "NOT ON DISH NETWORK!!!!!!!!!!" crap
    2) taco bell and chef lorena garcia bragging about her crappy food
    3) some ATT commercial with some dude who barely takes his eyes off his phone as he travels all over the united fucking states
    4) T-Mobile commercials featuring the motorcycle chick in pink counting all the towers they've put up across the country

    Flo from the Progressive Insurance commercials infuriates me. My brain begs for a bullet every time I see it.

    Yeah, that does get old after seeing it so damned much.

    2) taco bell and chef lorena garcia bragging about her crappy food
    Yeah, she annoys the hell out of me, for some reason.

    You know, even though she reminds me of some real fake people I've worked with in the past, the character and actress somehow don't annoy me in the least.

    okay, add those allstate commercials with everybody talking about insurance sounding like their spokesman to the list....you think they'd give up on those after about a dozen or so, but seems like i see a new one every week or two.

    the car insurance commercials that drive me up the frakin' wall are those Geico adverts with the two dudes (one playing a mandolin, the other a guitar) who tell lame, lame ass jokes that my 9 year old nephew doesn't even laugh at. the one with Eddie Money in it is just plain hard to watch because Eddie is not in good shape. apparently his two tickets to paradise were in steerage.

    anybody seen these stanton optical commercials?



    i don't wear eyeglasses, but i can tell you one place i'd never go to in my lifetime if i were in the market for glasses...why even air such an annoying commercial? who the hell came up with this and who's the moron who gave it the green light?

    and i'll agree, mike...all geico commercials are irritating. makes me wonder why i'm still insured by them....perhaps it's time to switch.
